Got the No1 on your list for Chrimbo along with Moon Safari - Himlabacken volume 1.

The Himlabacken 2 was last year wasn’t i? Must give it another listen, never heard vol 1 is it as good as 2 ?

I’ve not listened to it yet BP but if it’s anywhere near Vol2 I’ll be happy. I will update you when I do.

The Moggs Motel album is excellent, the last few UFO albums were okay but more bluesy hard rock. This is a great rock album and he sounds great, as do his band.

Former UFO guitarist/Keyboards Neil Carter there too. A big improvement on last few UFO albums to be sure ...

Well a bit contrarian but some of my favourite UFO albums were the Neil Carter ones,especially The wild the willing and the innocent. He takes a lot of lead on this though, who knew he had that in him.

Ooh err I have heard of this band but not heard anything before. I really like this but hope one of our regulars can enhance on them.

Been to see him in Wolverhampton tonight on his Farewell tour.
A highlight was a full rendition of Plague of Ghosts, of which this is one of the most special parts:

Just discovered this Rush recording.

Motherlode stuff for me, as I’ve been searching for full video shows from the p/g and Power Windows tours for ever. So, so rare.
In terms of set list these tours were peak stuff for me, though I enjoy later and earlier too.
Tempos a bit quicker give some of the tracks real urgency over the studio versions.

So much to enjoy. Peart on the last minutes of Subdivisions, the finale tracks, Alex soloing on Between The Wheels are just a few of many highlights.
The audience reaction to the lasers is a bit ott (!), but then I guess in 84 this was cutting edge stuff not seen that much before in live shows.

Rush were one the best live bands I’ve ever seen along with Def Leppard and Styx for sheer professionalism.
On another topic - listening to “Life in the Wires” by Frost atm.
Industrial Prog anyone. Double album, lots to like even though it feels like a jam session on times. John Mitchell in prime shredding mode.

I have seen the Budokan from outside, but over the (blue) moon to be going to see them playing in the place that 'made' them on their Farewell To Japan dates. Also Osaka a couple of days before. :-)
