I saw them in Tokyo in the early '70s. Dynamite show. I saw them 20 years later @ Red Rocks. Night & day difference.
Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds live at Luther College Will always be in my top 5, it comes and goes but I always go back to it and listen.....not a single bad tune on it.
Came to Houston last fall with REO. Their first song was Color My World, the entire movement just like it was on the Album. Then it was Listen, Beginnings and Does Anybody Know what time. They stayed away from the pop stuff until they combined bands and traded off playing REO and Chicago hits. That combination of bands made the pop stuff palatable. It was so great.
My desert island playlist would be The Who - Who's Next Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Derek and the Dominoes - Layla and other love songs The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart's Club Band The Rolling Stones - Through the Past Darkly
Funny you would list these. A buddy of mine (UF Grad) and I after many beers decided that the two best songs back to back were "Gimme Shelter" and "Comfortably Numb" - can't really remember the context of why, but it still works!
Agreed. Good stuff. We did some of those tunes when I was in a band. But overall albums... I'll stick with what I have. For some reason that era sounds a little dated to me, much like people 5 years younger than me probably think Kansas and Boston sound dated compared to Toto or Rush. I also really dig Yes as well. Even their 90201 album (I purposefully call it that...).
All those bands were great in their own right. Boston, Kansas, Toto (I dated Bobby Kimball's niece for a bit) still transcend. using the "no greatest hits" as a qualifier it's difficult for me to put any of them in. Someone should start a list your top what? 50 songs ever? Is 100 too much?
