Classic Rock (Phil Collins lives, run for the hills)

[chesterbells]

Thank you so much and hope you enjoy your Christmas too.
I think our cherished “Classic Rock” has been overlooked in favour of the “Rock evolution “thread.

Yeah. Gotta be honest, I prefer it here!

What a performance this was, Donington 1980. I’ve heard some ragged performances of this song, which isn’t easy to make sound good live, but especially Blackmore’s soloing in the middle instrumental section is just outstanding.
It’s why he’s No1 for me, and why I’d take this over Kashmir for example.
(Sadly audio only)

The tour with Bonnet was great, saw 5 gigs in theatres /cow sheds plus that Donington gig.

I’d still take Kashmir over Stargazer but two of the great epic tracks.

Always my favourite Sabbath, and I’ve seen both line ups.
Sounds absolutely magnificent this concert does, just listened to about 3/4 of it.

Anyone get any music pressies?
I finally got Foreigner “4” and Double Vision on CD and the second Kino release. - Radio Voltaire.
