    Saxon have been around since 1979. (possibly earlier) Spinal Tap was a '90's creation I think.


    Roel. 'Another Brick in thre wall (part 2)'. Is I think the track title you are refering to. Unless you have listened to the whole album. It is fairly typical of the material on the album, so if you don't like it, you probably won't like the album. Having said that, I didn't like The Wall after only one listening, it was too much of a culture shock after Wish you were here & Animals. Needless to say, it is now one of my favourites, even after 25 years.
    'Bike'; was a Syd Barrett composition, and reflected the late '60's psychadelic movement that P.F largely spearheaded. It fell between two stools really. Not catchy enough to be a hit single. Not way out enough to be a psychadelic classic. Quirky though.

    I never thought that this classic, was a classic live performance. Certainly groundbreaking in 1973. But best listened to at home on C.D, through headphones!

    (As this is a best live bands thread).

    Cheers!

    I don't know exactly which song it was. However it is evidence of how a single lyric can ruin a song, even if it hadn't otherwise been absolutely dreadful as well... :D

    Exhibit A:
    "We don't need no education"

    Umm... Me thinks someone does...

    Springsteen and Radiohead are the best I've seen.

    The only big name concert I've seen was one by Jethro Tull. It was very good. Mostly the live bands I've seen are bar bands or performers at sf cons. I've enjoyed most of them.

    John Fogerty of Creedence Clearwater Revival puts on great shows. Ticket prices are low (usually in the 50 USD), and you really feel like he enjoys it and cares about his fans. It's all music, no rambling interludes or fancy audio/visual aids, and I get the feeling there's a lot of improv. Doesn't seen scripted very much. I've seen his shows 4 times now and met him once (long story...). Admittedly he has changed the sound of a lot of the Creedence songs which I don't like in some cases but his shows are fantastic and I can't recommend them highly enough.

    Otherwise I've only seen the Eagles (twice, with tickets for a third this July) and Carlos Santana (once). The Eagles act is extremely professional, but you get the feeling they're a little stiff (sticking to the script). Joe Walsh seems to be the only one who cuts loose from time to time. Don't get me wrong, I love the Eagles and am completely willing to pay their outrageous ticket prices (pushing 300 bucks USD each) -- but their shows lack the "fun" of a Fogerty concert. I've never been much of a Santana fan but I wasn't very impressed by his concert. He's the opposite of the Eagles -- entirely improvised, and seemingly with no script. It went on too long IMHO and then halfway through he started rambling about politics. That being said he seemed to be having a great time and most of the people around me were eating it up. Maybe its just me.

    I have tickets for ELO this July. That's a show I'm very much looking forward to. First North American tour in ~30 years.

    Dire Straights in the "Brothers in Arms" tour...came to Darwin, it rained heavily...the locals didn't care...so despite being worried about being electrocuted the bad played on! Darwin still talks about that gig...the biggest and the best.
    I also saw Faith no More - at the ANU bar (Australian National University) - it was a small area (the cafeteria) - we could stand just feet away from the bad and mosh out...
