A little about us:
Dave (the 36-year-old with the impressive beard) was raised almost completely sheltered from pop culture by his strict military family. He was homeschooled K-12. He legitimately has very little knowledge of music and artists from before 2000.
John (the guy in disguise) has been a MUSIC LOVER since he was born in the 1960's. Problem is, he rarely knows the lyrics to the music he loves.
Dave, on the other hand, has never heard or rarely overheard the music that John chooses to play for him, but does an impressive job sussing out the meanings behind the lyrics, sometimes to unexpected ends.
John remains in the dark both as a wry play on the situation but also because of legal issues causing his attorney to recommend maintaining a low profile.

There is no known video footage of Chris Squire playing this amazing "solo" during the 90125 World Tour. But since there is audio, I have meshed it with video of the Whitefish solo from a 1998 concert. Since Chris made changes to the solo all the time, it is impossible to completely match video with audio, so I barely tried (with some noticeable exceptions). Chris Squire passed away on June 27,...

    My childhood. My Dad has this record and we used to play it all the time. The whole albums great but I know this song word for word... Very catchy!! It's about man creating robots and then the robots taking over and the carnival barker is showing the last vestiges of humanity. ("There behind the glass is a real blade of grass!!) It's a very appropriate song for the world today with robots and AI. Emerson is more of a prophet less of a musician!!! I do however have an issue with John Doh's (if that's your real name) comment that Asia is a bigger supergroup than ELP..not even close!!! They had one hit.(Heat of the Moment) I guess that's a subjective statement though. Anyway....glad you're listening to good music. Listen to their self titled album as well with "Hoedown" on it. Also very catchy and fun!!! Peace ☘️

    You are trying to judge a song that was written before you were even born. You’re missing quite a few things here…… when this song came out it was pretty standard for people too. Let’s just jump in the car and go who cares where we as long as we’re not here….. It’s not about suicide. It’s about how to make your happy when you’re depressed staying in the same spot not gonna keep you from being depressed…… people were different than…. ☮️❤️🙏🌍🌏🌎🇺🇸❤️☮️

    The verses are the voice of a crazy UFO believer, of which there were many in the 1970s, and the chorus is making fun of him. Like, OK 'Balthazar', whatever. That's why the verses start with "psst" and "wait, there's more". It's some kook pestering you with his UFO theories. Saucer News was a newsletter popular among such people.

    Saw KANSAS just before Masque came out , and they did entire first album start to finish, and was blown away by them and instant fan. Saw the Leftoverture tour and Monolith also, on crutches too of my broken leg. To me Kansas and The Beatles are my two top bands of all time. Because they both changed the world in some ways.

    Dan Hartman, the bassist, had a very successful solo career and sadly died young due to the AIDS epidemic. Rick Derringer is on guitar here and he also has had quite the solo career. Edgar is in his 70s and still continues to play. He's currently touring with Ringo Starr. He has played sax in a lot of studio recoridngs, including Tina Turner's "Simply The Best".

    The fathers of progressive rock. Who else would give you the evolution of communication - and music - at the start of the album, then launch into a kickass rock song? The Moodies started as a blues/rock band in the early 60s, changed their lead singer after one album, invented prog rock, took a brief respite in the 70s, and returned as a pop band. And they kicked ass all the way.

    I loved the Trevor era of YES because 'Owner of a Lonely Heart' was my introduction to them, and being a massive Rush fan, I immediately took a liking to it. That said, I have never once thought of Trevor and shredding in the same conversation. It's not his discipline, and when I listened to this solo it struck me as someone playing a lot of chords and notes, but none of them really landing or amounting to much. That isn't to say I don't like a good shred, I am a child of the 70s after all and so I grew up on the rock/metal guitar Gods of the 70s and 80s. When you listen to Jimmy Page or Alex Lifeson, you immediately know it's them, but it they were to have done the shredding stuff it would have sounded off. To me there has to be more than just speed for speed's sake. One of my favorite guitarists is Paul Gilbert, and my introduction to him was with Racer X, but I almost never listen to his Racer X or old shred material. Rather, I love the incarnation of Paul Gilbert that developed with Mr. Big, because you got a touch of the speed but blended into songs with vocal harmonies, melody, and a great rhythm section in Torpey and Sheehan. Same with a Ritchie Kozen, absolutely love his playing and singing, but I never listen to his earliest shred adjacent stuff because that's just not who he is as a writer, a singer and a player. I could ramble on, but shredding notes absent any kind of overall song, reprise, or melody is boring to my ears. It becomes white noise. Young, unrefined me loved the raw speed. However, by my late teens and early 20s, my tastes had developed to a point where my mindset was "Okay, the speed's nice, but where are we going with this?" in terms of the song. I prefer my "shreds" to be moments of flourishes and embellishments during a song or as an aspect OF the solo, but not to be THE solo. I think Trevor is an amazing musician, and certainly it's a bit interesting to hear that solo, but tonally and musically that's not him. It would be like hearing a Stevie Ray Vaughan shred solo, I would want to hear it at least once out of curiosity, but that would be the extent of it. :)

    Frampton wasn't that big of a deal before this live album. In fact, he may be one of the only artists who basically ONLY charted with a live album, because he put such a crazy good show on (and blew people's minds with that damn talkbox). Honestly, if you've heard his studio albums, the production really robs them of the energy his live albums have. A modern band who uses the talkbox quite a bit is Chromeo, a dance-pop duo out of Montreal. Their keyboardist is the one who uses it, and I'd say one of the best illustrations of it is their performance with Darryl Hall (yeah, that one) covering Hall and Oates' "No Can Do" at Darryl's home studio.

There's bluesy goodness here but there's also a dose of acid rock at one point, yes Santana tends to have a Latin feel and there's a different rhythm. Good stuff for both versions.
