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

The late Jimmy Lafave
great interpreter of Dylan songs plus a good writer in his own right

This song got me into Collins as a solo artist:

Mitch Malloy has been around forever, we last saw him at the Firefest at Rock City in Nottingham. (Also on the bill was the wonderful Tall Stories, with Stever Augeri of Journey)

He has been touring a tribute to Eddie Van Halen in the US. He was close to becoming VH's singer after Cherone (very suprisingly) tanked in the role, but for whatever reasons it didn't happen.
The guitar player, Peter Thorn has a great cv as a session man, touring with many big name artists.

Check these out:

That's good.

Thanks for sharing.

Shame they aren't touring that show.

Think most Yes fans have grown to like the album, it's in my top 3 Yes albums, but I'm fairly new to the Yes train. Think the recent releases could do with an injection of it's energy.

Yes and Yes.
dont want to contradict the previous poster (Bluemoonacrossthepond)
I think initially there was a certain dislike for Drama but most Yes fans have grown to like it now.
The bass on “Does it Really Happen” shows why Chris Squire is supreme imho.
Machine Messiah is also very good.
I think most of the displeasure was The Buggles association at that time.
Both Horn and Downes have moved on long ago.
The last two albums are very poor except the odd track.

That album has been the sound of my summer this year.

I know I am biased, but it really is their best in decades for me.
Each album has gems, but this doesn't have a bad track on it. Love them all ... but So It Goes stands out as immense.

It's a good album.

Looking forward to seeing them live next year.

Just catching up on the last few days of this thread.
Shame to hear about Malcolm ‘Doc Doom’ Dome, rip. Kerrang was such a fun as well as informative read back then.
btw, meant to ask @OB1 what would you say by way of a review for Steve Hackett (apols if posted and I’ve missed it). I saw the tour but chose not to attend Genesis, so I’m hoping you’re gonna agree that Steve walked all over his old band.

Best since One on one for me, though Ive liked Rockford onwards too, not to the extent of Another World.
