    Yes, Kansas, Genesis, UK,
  1. The US newspapers have no jurisdiction outside of the US. I suppose they did not publish that issue outside the US so had no international copyright.
  2. One of them said that if anyone else leaves that would be it, however I don't think the others should have to stop doing what they love. Just call it Jagger & Richards or something similar.
  3. Over the years many album's go out of print, some permanently and some temporarily. At some point there may be another run produced but anyone who really wants it can probably find it. The main thing I never got is the 1997 Toronto show because I didn't want to buy a box set for one thing I didn't have.
  4. Not sure that Terry was driving the prog sound. I was told by a friend after P/G came out that Terry had listened to some early songs and wanted a more commercial sound, and they balked at that, but later interviews blame the synth transition. A producer isnt really supposed to decide the musical style or direction, but should help to sort out the best songs, and get the best performances from you, while making suggestions to improve the music. Terry might have pushed for a less lush and layered sound but would not have steered them away from synths, just maybe lessened them a bit.
  5. I enjoyed that show less than the previous two tours and less than the next. It was the shortest show they ever did from the time i first saw them live in 1981 at 1 hour and 45 minutes, but i loved the video of that show, which i was at. The band has stated that the rest of the show was shot on video but they did not save it after the video was produced.
  6. And the strange thing is, they made a point on insisting on recording the drums at Bearsville I believe to get a good drum sound.
  7. Not interested in the remade memorabilia and while I have a pretty good turntable from 1984, the only thing I would consider buying as a reissue would be a high resolution dvd or blu ray version of albums that were originally analog or high resolution versions of digital album's that were originally recorded at greater than CD resolution.
  8. Hemispheres Permanent Waves (released in 1980) Counterparts Snakes and Arrows Clockwork Angels but only choice here
  9. I don't think most here understand what 'atmospheric' means.
  10. Often he would slip in from the back a couple of minutes before the house lights had gone down and would orient himself at the kids while it was covered.
  11. I never liked that song. On the Grace Under Pressure tour (my third tour) my friend and started yelling NOOOO when they started to play it. While I agree that Neil used to overplay on the songs from the first album, I thought his drumming on In The Mood on the ASOH video was so uninspiring and I thought at the time that he was either really tired of that song or just tired.
  12. My head says Power Windows but my heart says Hold Your Fire.
  13. After Moving Pictures they became self conscious and tried too hard not to repeat themselves and the result was still great but not as great. After Hold Your Fire they became more self conscious and tried to push the guitar, and while I agree that keyboards were not their strength, I think they found themselves on a search for their sound and made things more difficult for themselves. I like most of all the albums after HYF but I often skip a track or two on most of them.
  14. Far Cry: Catchy and pretty good lyrics. Workin Them Angels: I like the odd time signature and the drumming, and how the lyrics mix Rush and Neil's story. The Way The Wind Blows: Great playing and lyrics. I don't understand all the praise for Armour and Sword. It seems to plod along painfully.
