Actually, I can. We didn't have all this technology back then, you old man. ;)

These guys were the first live gig I attended (1986), Doc Neeson is the lead singer and he has an incredible stage presence - he is a very tall intense, brooding individual but his impressive performance at that $10 concert helped me appreciate the value of live performances.

I used to have a major crush on both of these sisters.
Beautiful song, timeless, listen to the lyrics.
Another concert from 1986 - The Australian Made Festival was fantastic - INXS, The Divinyls, Mental as Anything, I'm Talking, The Triffids, The Saints, Models & Jimmy Barnes.
This girl (Chrissy Amphlett) was just incredible on stage.

I guess her male equivalent at the time was the late Michael Hutchence.

OK one more from my youth and I'll have to end this reminiscing before I get all teary.
This song is very special to me for personal reasons but I'm sure others can find something in it for themselves.
As you said before - listen to the lyrics....

Ok, since the "embed" thingy seems to escape my abilities...just go look up Carrie Underwood Temporary Home! It might not make sense to some, but if you have ever been homeless, it hits...HARD!!
Oh BTW...GGT, love that song! Saw Heart the very firstest concert I ever went to! :heart:

Turn a whiter shade of pale. One of sixteen vessel virgins who were leaving for the coast.....:)
:D
Born to be wild!
Long, but that's the original, not just the movie short. Takes a while to get going. ;)
For the impatient:
Of course, we can't forget this one! :D
I look around....well you don't know what we can find, why don't you come with me little girl, on a magic carpet ride?
FFS, this sounds almost pedophilic or predatory now, but back then it didn't......:eek:
A different type of unusual from that era:
OMG I love that song!
Here's something a bit different, same era tho!
Awesome song! Awesome keyboardist! Awesome in concert! :D
Ooops, double post! Oh well, it's worth it! I just don't appear to be smart enough to post the video! :cry:

Later take on being on the road.
also:
They probably all had a tiny dancer, seamstress for the band?
Factoid, did you know his first wife committed suicide, and then he dated Daryl Hannah?
Ok GGT! Thanks to you, I have now blubbered myself into Friday the 13th! :cry:
oops, then cry away! Tears can be cleansing!
She wrote Blue Bayou, a song that Linda Ronstadt made famous.
Lovely lyrics, lovely voice. Now....get a load of this.....
I vaguely recall posting both of these links at the other place. It's great to see singers at their popular height as young people, then see them sing as older geezers. James Taylor falls in that group, too.

Does anyone think it'd be weird having this for a wedding song?
It's a pretty melody, nice piano. Depends on the lyrics translation for a wedding.
Speaking of wedding songs, this one was popular in the 80s. Such a shame, Dan Fogelberg died way too young.
His Auld Lang Syne and Leader of the Band were also quite nice ballads.
Well hell, now I'm thinking of artists who died too young, and their love ballads. :cry:
The lyrics tell of a sad past, but an encouraging future at last. It might not be that wedding alike, but unless I invite Russians (which I'm fairly sure I won't), the melody is all that tells. Or is it that important a song, that even the subconcious context should be valued? =/
Ask your bride. It's whatever you both love.
Getting away from love songs, it's making me weepy. This is an all time classic---
Sorry, but they just don't make music like this anymore.
Right about 4 minutes in, he starts the Purple Haze. Soon after you see the ugly side of Woodstock.
Ever wonder how you can completely butcher a great song? Simple...get Pat Boone to cover it.

Divenire and Una Mattina are probably my favourite albums to work to. Or they're at least tied with Chopin's Nocturnes :heart:
Ts is why the New York Knicks suck:
