Definitely the same version as 2112 Deluxe recorded in Manchester. The version on Exit i believe was from Glasgow.

Oh yeah!!! .... Old Gary could have wiped the floor with Clapton. Hard to believe all three have passed away now .... must be one hell of a gig in heaven right now!!

TBH ... i struggled a bit with them ..bits i liked, bits i didn't. But certainly not dull. In a strange way they remind me of XTC ..... again another band i could only like in part. According to the music mag i get, The Lickerish Quartet (who i believe consist of members of Jellyfish) are making new stuff ..... donno if that is of interest to you?

No one has yet been able to tell me the connection between the hoarding of t.p. and the virus. Some psychologists have shared their opinions. Many if not most of their opinions are similar or even identical. Briefly, buying toilet paper is something that everyone can do (if there's stock of course) and have control over. Controlling one's environment, or at least not being at its mercy is important to people. So, this tp hoarding is a method of controlling one's destiny, and the tp itself - a symbol of comfort...even if it seems irrational. Another explanation which also seems reasonable imho is that social media inflates people's sense of danger / threat. If you see footage after footage of massive lines in shops and people pushing cartloads of toilet paper, the chances of you going out and getting some tp yourself is much more likely than if you hadn't seen the footage. Another explanation is that people were acting like idiots! My brother in law works in our local Asda (UK supermarket owned by Wal-mart). A week after the initial panic subsided, a customer brought 50 packs of 8 rolls back to see if he could get a refund ..... he was politely advised of a place he could shove them!!!! Yeah, that reason can easily go hand in hand with what I was saying. As for the dude returning all of that tp, he was lucky the shop staff didn’t directly tell him to f**k off. Hehehe ... I know the guy who brought them back (small town syndrome - everyone knows everybody else!) ... it was appropriate that he had so many rolls as he is a total a*s-hole!

Hehehe .... you'd feel right at home here in Ireland lol!

11°c / 52°f and raining ....... one of our better mornings lol!

We were in Orlando in 2018 and got tickets for Bon Jovi. Old JBJ's voice had ....ehem..... seen better days!

No one has yet been able to tell me the connection between the hoarding of t.p. and the virus. 1 person sneezes and 10 people sh*t themselves!

Love this album....especially live. Not a month goes by without me listening to it at least once. I like his Wishing Tree stuff, but this is orders of magnitude better. I'm a Marillion fan, but this album is album is a very special one to me. I'm stuck watching DVDs and you tube videos because I know I'm never going to experience this live. The man has never played a proper solo gig in the US although he's done some clinics and sat in on a few songs hear and there. It's incredible. I only buy Marillion albums still because I love the band. "H" sucks. He ruined Marillion. JMO I have the proof but this isn't SOCN. I kinda lost it a bit when Fish went .... Don' get me wrong, some of the Hogarth stuff is OK .... just not that same magic i got from the Fish era. Probably an age thing!! (Think i'll make that my motto in TRF lol!!)

Zepphead!!! You are a breath of fresh air around here with all of your music memories!!!!! YOU ROCK!!!! Thanks Rushhead666! Hehehe .... I guess the memories are due to me being an old codger lol!! I wish i had joined the forum years ago .. i really enjoy talking to you guys!

Welcome, Zepphead! There are a lot of great people here; I think you will enjoy it! :hi: Thanks blueschica! Everyone seems real friendly and I know i will enjoy talking to you all!!

Zepphead, I'm another really good person, who would like to welcome you here. There are some really good people to talk, and socialize with. Thanks Derek19! So far i am really enjoying this super forum!

Welcome Zepphead, this is a great forum. I was a late comer to Rush myself (2011) and this board really helped me learn all types of things about the band and meet some fun and unique people. I had a number of tours I missed and regret it but I did get to see R40 with my sister and I am forever grateful. Glad you are here :haz: :rush: Thank you Rhyta! I'm sorry i took so long to get here! It's comforting to know there are still so many Rush fans out there and I know i will enjoy conversing with all you guys!

Welcome Zepphead! I'm Rushhead!!!! Hope to visit Ireland one day! Cheers! Hi there Rushhead! Thanks for the welcome... its only taken me 61 years to get here but i think i am going to enjoy TRF!Hope you can get to this side of the pond someday .... just be prepared for cold temperatures and rain lol! Hahaha! You are very welcome!! Glad you finally made it here! Heck yes!! Some year I will be in your neck of the woods!!! I want to lay down a black rose at the Phil statue in Dublin. I want to see the pub that has that big Rory Gallagher guitar statue in the window. Guinness of course. Visit Gary Moore's grave and hopefully see the new Gary Moore Memorial Statue! Endorsed by Scott Gorham of course! Oh and see where the Titanic was built! I suspect fundraising for the Gary Moore Memorial Statue has stalled due to Covig-19 so it may be some time before we get to see this. Gary Moores grave is apparently very understated bordering on sad! Not a fit tribute to great man! Yes, he is buried in an old country church in England. Apparently he had stated to family that if anything ever happened to him he wanted buried somewhere quiet and out of the way.

It was You Can't Fight It. A phrase springs to mind ...... too much time on your hands!! :LMAO:

Spanish Key Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood

Indeed. I wasn't aware of the debt he owed to Roger Glover of Deep Purple... https://www.rogerglo...ert-hine-r-i-p/ And from Rupert's own website a year or two back... " Roger Glover Having spent much of the night hearing such touching stories re my involvement with, and encouragement for, artists, writers, engineers, musicians, collaborators… the end of the evening was to be my turn to thank the one person in my life to effect the same level of change to my own life-story. Having started my creative life with a rare recording opportunity of a contract with Decca Records (The Rolling Stones label amongst many, many others) and a first single produced by the Decca equivalent to George Martin (at EMI) - Dick Rowe - things plummeted to nothingness over the succeeding months. I continued to write songs with my lyricist partner David MacIver for some four years, whilst working on what seemed like hundreds of two or three week temp jobs for the rent. This, not particularly promising way of life, was beginning to feel somewhat fruitless when a chance discovery that my old Episode 6 mate from the early Sound of Silence days, was now with a rather successful band called Deep Purple. Given their massive change of appearance from mid-sixties mop-tops / suits to late 60s waist-long hair / jeans, beards and moustaches, I needed to call the record label and see if he was indeed the same Roger Glover. He was, and when I cheekily asked if a message could be passed on to him, it was - and we met again. I played him the intervening years worth of songwriting and he immediately loved them. Deep Purple had already been given their own imprint and Roger suggested to the managers at the helm that they should sign both myself and David to Purple Records… and while he was at it - also suggesting that he produce us. Imagine our delight, five years after experiencing such an immediate high followed by a bleak and sustaining low - we should re-surface signed and produced by an old friend - to his own label! The entire experience was such a joy. Still to this day much of that sounds original and colourfully rich. Exquisite string arrangements and witty Hi-fidelitous production. Which directly led to…. This opening chapter to the next creative phase started when David and I were asked to write and record a 2nd album for Purple and due to Deep Purple’s ever-expanding global domination of early ‘heavy’ rock bands, Roger was simply not available to produce. His recommendation for a substitute producer was… well…. me! I told him I had no idea how to do all that! He calmly instructed me to do what I did at home with my bits of string and tin-can studio - only - bigger! And that’s how I became a producer." Looking at his list of subsequent production credits, that is one hell of a debt he owed Mr Glover!
