Superpowers of Arena Rock 2003
on tour this summer, stopping here in Pa., and maybe in your town too ??
Neil Young Aerosmith and Kiss Styx, REO Speedwagon, Journey Who said the 70's are gone ?? :-] |
Neil Forever !!
The 2 LP's from Styx and REO that I consider must-haves: REO- "You Get What You Play For" Still have my original high-school pot-smoking-in-the-parking-lot-in-the-Chevelle copy. Sounds great. Laid down around $10 back then for it new, what's that in 2003 dollars ?? Around $40 ?? (chuckle) Styx- "Equinox"- picked it up recently at SA for 29 cents, in mint shape. ahh, the memories...great LP Both are benchmark 70's LPs, IMO. I get rid of all other REO tapes, and any post-Equinox Styx. Want to check out the early Styx stuff a bit closer though. Other tapes that fix the first category : !! Nugent Double Live Gonzo Frampton Comes Alive The Who Live at Leeds Neil Young Rust Never Sleeps Any additions ?? |

Frampton Comes Alive
Being stuck in what passed for the back seat (but was too small to actually qualify) of a '73 Toyota Celica and having this 8-track playing nonstop for the entire trip from southern Connecticut to middle New Hampshire has soured me on Frampton forever. It's been almost thirty years since that trip, and the revulsion continues. Sorry. However, something else that probably was played at a different point during that trip or one like it, and which might fit on the list, is Emerson, Lake, & Palmer--Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends, Ladies and Gentlemen, Emerson, Lake, & Palmer. (Playing air keyboards was required then.) --Bob Farace "I only believe in fire." --Anais Nin |

"Rust" pretty much retires the category, but here's a few others they'll have to pry out of my cold, dead fingers: Gentle Giant Official Live Outlaws Bring It Back Alive Uriah Heep Live and the masterpiece of all time, short of "Rust": Waiting For Columbus - Little Feat Ah, the double live...the zenith of 70s rock... Happy trails, Larry B. |

Not until the last one of these guys croaks - I'm bettin' on Neil. Anybody else? Happy trails, Larry B. (Maybe when all the REO guys are gone we'll see a farewell tour from Gary Richrath...) Dennis De Young will be the last to die. That Steve replacment in Journey is an awfully young gut, though...ron Replacements don't count. And if Tommy Shaw and J.Y. get their hands on a voodoo doll, Dennis is toast... Happy trails, Larry B. |
'73 Toyota-yechh- my girlfriend had one of those.
Frampton Alive- got so sick of my original store bought 8-track copy, that I taped over it, and scraped the label off. So I hear ya on that one... |

Happy trails, Larry B. Let's not forget: "It's Alive" Ozark Mountain Daredevils "Live" Head East wore out many a worn out copy of both - sure like to have replacements! Dan#3 |

Styx, REO Speedwagon, Journey
3 good reasons for the rise of punk rock. Those bands are the epitome of bad, corporate, soulless music. And what punk rock bands are you recommending, that are "good, non-corp, and full of soul"....(chuckle)...and are released on a non-corp private label ?? I forgot one, Santana played here last night. It's an all-out '70's rock revival ! Carlos is donating $3 million to Africans in need from his tour profits... |
