Talk to Maani, then. He'll tell you all about it. He was there. It's a show I would have loved to have seen as well.

But I really would have loved to have seen Rush during the Permanent Waves tour (they almost recorded it instead of Stage Left, too).

I've seen a lot of posts about Floyd's Animals tour. I saw them on that tour (Oakland 1977) but they were rather uninspired. You could tell that they were heading toward their final shows. I remember being blown away by seeing them, but also a little cold about the performance. Hard to truly criticize though. I did get to see Floyd.

If I had to choose a show it would be their first performance of the Wall at LA on 2/7/80. That was the show where the stage caught on fire and they had to stop the show during Empty Spaces to put it out. It also featured an extremelly extended jam on ABITW Part 3 (15 min!!!) while they waited for the crew to catch up with assembling the wall. Check out the boot 'Azimuth Coordinator Part 3' to hear the show. It was extremelly cool.

-Yes In the Round on the Tormato tour a great band, fabulous material, and an original presentation style.
-Geoff Mann's farewell gigs at the Marquee with Twelfth Night, if not for the music itself than for the fanatical devotion of the fans and the passion of a singer going out on top.
-Hatfield and the North's ensemble concerts with Gilgamesh.  A set by each band, then a canterbury symphony (most of which unreleased) with 2 keyboard players, 2 guitarists, 2 drummers, 2 bassists, and 2 guitarists.
-Happy the Man in 1978.  On their "Live" album, they play a blazing set for what sounds like 7 people.  In some songs, you can hear clinking glass from the bar.  Lemme tellya, the clapping would be much louder if I had been there.
-Steely Dan's Pretzel Logic concerts directly before they ceased to function as a touring band for the next two decades or so.
-Camel's (or should we say Caramel's) Breathless tour with Richard Sinclair singing and Jan Schallas and Dave Sinclair bringing the amount of Caravan alumni to three.
-Any/all Genesis tours from the pre-Tresspass shows to the tour in support of Three Sides Live in which they played Supper's Ready for the last time before it was replaced with an OLDIES MEDLEY.
-Echolyn's pre- and post-As the World concerts.  A hardworking cult band crisscrossing the continent in the vain attempt that the world would notice their masterpiece.  The tour would be the band's death knell, but the sounds they made were wonderful.

Uriah Heep around the 'Demons And Wizards' era, and around the time of 'Firefly' with John Lawton as singer.

Genesis- any time from 'Trespass' until 'Duke', especially 'The Lamb..' tour and 'A Trick Of The Tail'.

ELP- 'Brain Salad Surgery' era, and having watched their recent 2-DVD I'd love to have seen the show with the full orchestra- I had previously criticised 'Works' but I hereby apologise for having done so, having heard some tracks for the first time in years.

Camel- 'Moonmadness', 'I Can See Your House From Here' and 'Nude' eras.

Yes- any show of the 'Yessongs' era

Deep Purple- any 70s 'Mark II' show

I'd want to see a show from the early stretch the TFTO tour.  At this point, they were doing all four songs from Tales (they dropped Remembering later), plus some earlier stuff.  And it would bee cool to see Rick's historical curry antics in person!

I saw them do this and all of Close to the edge on one magical night in Glasgow; it was of course truly wonderous, a 4 hour concert that is indelibly stamped in my brain forever.

hi Alberto!!!

Long Time no read.....

You are too rare around here.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
