I agree that this is basically a flawless album. And its all the more amazing when you consider what was going on in the band.
They’ve done it before. I saw them in 1990 without Buckingham (though since it was in LA, he showed up for an encore.)
A song near and dear to my heart. I grew up in the town the song talks about. They lived there when recording their first album. I was a little kid at the time. I ended up going to school right next to the house.
With low expectations I took a nephew to see them at a sweet San Diego Venue, Humphreys by the Bay, late 90s maybe early 00s. But the oomph live was real good, mostly Lyndsey. Similar to the Eagles in this way too, btw. Saw them live on the last tour for a girlfriend who loves them and the last 40 minutes was just Joe Joe and more Joe. I loved it. Funny line from Henley after Life's Been Good. He walks out from the drum kit shaking his head and says, "F you Walsh. Every night I have to follow that." Mick says something similar after a ridiculously raucous 4 minute solo of Lyndsey's after Don't Stop. You get none of this on the radio or from the studio. Hmm, just thought of another. When you're 14 and getting into new music that's rebellious compared to your parents stuff, it's a little disappointing when they like it. Mine liked Rumors and Eagles Greatest and that's about it.
Yeah, I just knew obviously that there were some women in the band and saw someone in the band was named Lindsey. I did know who Stevie Nix was so at least I knew that was a woman and not a man.
Wow...thanks for posting this. Somewhere sitting there on a mat is a skinny, zit faced kid.
I've ever been at concert. Good times.
Based on your suggestions I’m thinking Fleetwood isn’t a good fit for you - your ears don’t work.Black Sabbath Vol 4
Iron Maiden Killers
Juda Priest Sad Wings of Destiny
fleewood mac..sheesh..
I had a major crush on Stevie, not unusual for a young man in those days. A good buddy from work knew about my crush and told me he was Stevie's cousin and maybe some day he could introduce me. I figured he was playing me.
damn I know what I am thinking about the next time I get an orange dot or blue dot or whatever color they are.
I bought For This About To Rock We Salute You (the follow up to back In Black) and never bought another AC/DC album again.
Right. I don't see credit to Wood there, but I swear I just heard this in the past few years on a radio show, like All Things Considered or something.
The day before his show in San Diego 2001, I get a call from a bartender where I was having daily happy hours after work. He tells me to get over there quick. I do. Rod Stewart is having dinner in this dark and smokey cigar bar to avoid the somewhat famous attached restaurant. What's cool is he's animated and talking like a regular to a dozen patrons. The topic of his covers comes up and a guy explains that it's his wife's favorite stuff, and she always harbored this weird thought that he would crush covers of Diana Ross and The Supremes. He cocked his head curiously and sang the beginning of Come See About Me.
Quittendon wrote the beginning little segment that is sometimes played on the radio before the actual song starts.
All time classic, and one of my favorite albums. Not only that, but they had the greatest "Behind the Music" episode ever.
Some other well known 70s songs Rod wrote are Tonights the Night, You're in My Heart (The Final Acclaim), The Killing of Georgie Part l and ll, and Mandolin Wind. He co-wrote You Wear It Well, and I Was Only Joking.
He also had some good moments in the ‘80s. Most think of it as pure cheese, but I’ve always had a soft spot for “Passion”.
I liked the side boob action on the Buckingham/Nicks album cover. Also a pretty solid album musically.
