Amazing Live Stuff

[Jesper Hvid]

Bottom post of the previous page:

Off Vardis' debut album which was recorded live, in 1980, and pretty bloody good, too, and all. Note Hendrix gimmick.

[Antonov]

Nothing beats the original

Yngwie beats the speed of light, he'd shred both of them with a seventh note run like this guitar solo.
I have the doubt that it was overdubbed (fake live) as he s not fully shown during the solo. But whatever he would have thrown half improvised also in the studio, he purs all his passion in it.

Luther vandross - probably the greathest rnb singer ever - had his solo career launched singing on the first album by the italian disco band called change. They were a clone of chic but they were still capable of great numbers, and had success even withouth luther, that here pays tribute with an amazing rendition of the song issued in 1980 debut album by change

Not really live on stage live, but this is serious skill (to me):

[caneparo]

nice solos, 80's style

Yes, and the one supreme moment of the fusion of history, art, classical music, rock, prog and fantasy. They managed a very special thing, there, which only King Crimson ever did, before them. And Knife Edge isn't even from that album. Incredible band.

A bit long but worth watching

Fantastic version.

Oh, but the dear lady is still quite sure that all that glitters is gold. You can be assured she'll get what she came for, even if the store closed a long time ago... That much holds no mystery.

The following passage does.

"In a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings - sometimes - all of our thoughts are misgiven."

Sometimes words have two meanings! Adverb or adjective? It's the crucial point in all the Led Zeppelin lyrics.

Are all our thoughts misgiven, or only sometimes? Does the songbird only sing sometimes.

If this is the greatest rock ballad of all times, and it is, then it would have to be the songbird who only sings, sometimes. The Tolkienesque yearning, like. For, if our thoughts are sometimes all misgiven, you have an OXYMORON on your hands. "Sometimes all".

No, the songbird sings only sometimes.

All of our thoughts are misgiven.

This is Tolkien speaking through Robert Plant, and not for the first time, either.

Doubt - the main enigma. Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me. Doubt, the son of FEAR. Fear, il figlio della morte. The daughter of Death. That's the answer to the Umberto Eco/Piranesi riddle, too.

The greatest rock ballad of all time. Great job by Heart.

Here's Ozzy, when he was really, truly happy. I can see it in his face. And all he let us know, is - he didn't. Perhaps that's the reason he looks so joyful. Just here, having the fun of a lifetime.

Early Nice with O'List in the band.
