I wish I knew WTH the lyrics mean in Roundabout.  The lyrics are almost as indecipherable as Jethro Tull's.


You think these are bad? You should read the lyrics to some of their subsequent records. Tales of Topographic Oceans springs to mind:

Quote
Dawn of light lying between a silence and sold sources,
Chased amid fusions of wonder, in moments hardly seen forgotten
Coloured in pastures of chance dancing leaves cast spells of challenge,
Amused but real in thought, we fled from the sea whole.
Dawn of thought transfered through moments of days undersearching earth
Revealing corridors of time provoking memories, disjointed but with
purpose,
Craving penetrations offer links with the self instructor's sharp
and tender love as we took to the air, a picture of distance.
Dawn of our power we amuse redescending as fast as misused
Expression, as only to teach love as to reveal passion chasing
Late into corners, and we danced from the ocean.
Dawn of love sent within us colours of awakening among the many
Won't to follow, only tunes of a different age, as the links span
Our endless caresses for the freedom of life everlasting.

Kind of poetic, but pretty damn obscure, too. And that's just the first verse of the first of four album-side-length pieces.

Woo Freakin' Hoo!  uber BOS "Roundabout"!


people think this is some great mystical lyric, but he's just trying to get some chick to let him go in and out her valley...

I guess...and then his mountain falls out of the sky and it STANDS THERE.

In any case, props to Bill Bruford.  Extreme heaviosity on the bass.
Love the song, never analyzed or totally understood the lyrics.

Moonage Daydream is so great...   another BOS.

Speaking of Tull, I think Ian Anderson is playing acoustic tonight at Warfield.

Yes, can anyone please give me an excuse to go!?

Wow!

sitting in your front room and getting stoned quietly, but Ian A. isn't sufficiently benevolent a musician to wish that for us.  what a clip!

Now....how long a version will she play?  I'm thinking the shortest radio edit, but it would be great to hear one of the longer ones.

That's Chris Squire on bass, Buford's beating the skins.   btw, a bass player friend of mine told me that Squire plays a smaller scale bass, if that's possible.  Any bass players here to confirm/chime in?

Errr...You know Bruford was the drummer, right? Chris Squire is the bassist.

what I meant was, is anyone else going (or willing to be coerced) so that I can claim to my spouse that one of us won free tix & it's a last minute thing?

D'oh!  I second guessed my ability to recall all those names correctly.  too many distractions, normally I'd have googled to double check.
