errr .... what's Tik Tok?

I am not meaning to disrespect him in any way, but from a purely personal perspective, unless he is bringing something new to the table, I will probably just stick with the originals.

Yes, I use it occasionally. I got some decent Rush & Tull bootlegs there.

Often overlooked behind Duane & Gregg, Dickey was a real driving force within the band. A great songwriter and a fine guitarist. RIP Ramblin' Man

Many Happy Returns Rush Didact!

I haven't listened to it yet but if he is note for note on all instrumentation and vocals do I really need to bother?

I'm kinda bored with YYZ and Red Barchetta

Many Happy Returns!!

Many Happy Returns Blackhawkrush!!

Probably not. The MSG show is tempting but probably not enough to make me buy it.

I've never really been able to find out exactly which shows were used to compile it (other than that Berne May '78 provided some of the tracks - but i just don't know how many). There may be a few tracks live from Germany also. TBH the inclusion of the entire Berne show on the Heavy Horses Anniversary addition pretty much supersedes Bursting Out in my eyes. However the addition of the MSG October 78 concert in a couple of formats, make it all worthwhile for me!

Oooooohh!! Looks pretty!

They say 'justice prevails' ....... not in this case!

But, but, ... Paul slips his rose tinted glasses on ...... Randy was a guitar god, Amy was a p*sshead.

I agree with Segue Myles .... she was huge in the UK. She wasn't my cup of tea but Back to Black is regarded of something of a classic album. Sadly it was so evident that she had her finger over the self destruct button that when her death was announced (another entrant to the 27 club), it was no great surprise. A career of two studio albums isn't really enough to gauge how good she could have been.

Nice pics ...... and ....... Great seat!

I loved Ronnie but I always thought he had a single minded approach, rather than a particular 'chemistry' with his fellow bandmates.

In terms of chemistry within live performances, Rush, Zeppelin, Purple MK2, Slade, Grateful Dead, The Who all spring to mind.

sorry, I lost you after 'esoteric'

Belated Birthday Greetings Leanne!!

Congratulations BastillePark

That would indeed be a 'clash of the titans'!! Having said that, as much as I really like Queen, and May as a guitarist, I didn't idolise him the way I did Page, Iommi and Blackmore. Those three are guitar gods in my eyes.

Riffmeister

A fine band

RIP Eric
