I had forgotten just how bad some of this “music” was. Exceptions to be sure, but most of it was crap. Thanks for presenting it though.

Saw 3 of these bands during the 70’s,ELO/Young with Crazy Horse/Pink Floyd’s Wall tour(one of only 12 or so shows due to the production/stage show and all it entailed,all good shows!Would be nice to see some T-Rex one of these Sundays!

I saw the Wall also– had to drive to Philly to see the outdoor show and the infield seating was a muddy mess from the rain but “the shown must go on”–and it was fantastic.
Doctor My Eyes is a brilliant piece by the poetic genius Jackson Browne (his politics aside)

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand

I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can

Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long

‘Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I’ve been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it’s later than it seems

I believe his last line is quite prophetic–the hour is getting late…………..

Possibly Jackson’s least depressing song. David Lindley’s lap steel will never sound as good as Jesse Ed Davis’ original guitar work on this song.

Jav,was wrong on # of shows ,the Wall Tour was a total of 31 shows,but,the actual Wall tour never hit Philly,or,the east coast at all.I saw it in 1980 while in LA.

Still a Bryan Ferry fan-his show in Edinburgh(front row center seats) was pretty good in 2015(?). The days of sending me off with Avalon though are gone and never coming back…sigh.

Saw over 12 shows in 78/79,would be Heavy Horses(78)/Stormwatch tour(79)seen the band or Anderson since break up over a 100 times total,since 1975 when I was 12(2 shows)till less then a year ago Anderson and band doing a 50th Tull tour.

This version of Locomotive Breath from the early 80’s,believe Broadsword And The Beast Tour,not bad but at that point down to one keyboard,best lineup in me opinion was the mid/late 70’s with 2 keyboards.

Oh,Tull me favorite band if you hadn’t guessed!

Now you’re in my neck-a-the woods.

I’ll throw this one on here just because I’m flat ass impressed with some of the writers on this site:

annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum- I think from the day I was born, it’s been more about country music for me (although I did enjoy many of the other songs Admin. is always posting, and they bring back a barrel load of memories)

and this one for good ole’ GCP:

I agree that your version is pretty good, but the ‘hick’ in me leans to the country.

I met Leon in Tulsa in ’75. Had a roomie who knew him. He of course wouldn’t remember me 10 min later, but it was pretty cool for some kid from the backside of nowhere. Always liked his music.

Hall and Oates wrote the original but the Tavares version is better. Philly had an awesome sound back then.
