those good Catholic boys from Ireland prove Latin is not a dead language.
BOS U2 and Gloria
1981. That is THE prime Rush year, and since they played the Concord Pavilion last night, doing their Moving Picutures album in its entirety, I would almost bet we hear a cut from that.
RGM sez it's a classic set?
then maybe I'll be Searching for that in the archives.
Still willin' to bet??!
Won't spoil it, but hope Gaz is listening, as Marty Balin is coming up.
BTW Tink, I went to Alameda County Fair each of last four eve's, saw Charlie Daniels, Foghat, Tower of Tower and last night Blue Oyster Cult. Fun sets, TOP especially hot, as always. I even got to chat a few minutes with all the guys from Foghat. Did you know that two of them were in Savoy Brown (10at10 1969 staple "I'm Tired") prior to Foghat??
dude... Foghat came directly out of The Savoy Brown Blues Band. As I understand it (from wikipedia, etc) Savoy Brown leader Kim Simmonds and his brother manager were less that equal with the salary structure to the band members, so the rhythm guitarist (Lonesome Dave Peverett, who also sang), the bass player and drummer all skedaddled for greener pastures.
They added a lead guitarist and boogie blues RAWKers Foghat was born. They replaced the bass player in the 70s, and then the two guitarists died in the 2000s. However, the drummer and the bass player filled out the ranks with replacements of sorts (the two new guitarists each have decent rock pedigrees and the one that sings is a good frontman, he used to sing in Ted Nugent's band) and they have been soldiering on since for better or worse.
I saw them on Saturday night in Petaluma, double bill: Foghat and BÖC. It was fun. The big three Foghat hits (
Fool for the City, Slow Ride and I Just Wanna Make Love To You) are all on my playlist.
How was Blue Oyster Cult? did they play
