Oh I remember Toronto

When Mylo went down

And we sat and we cried on the phone

He was the first of our own

Some of us go down in a blaze of obscurity

Some of us go down in a haze of publicity

The price of empathy*

The edge of insanity

Ok, now I'm confused...

 

Same...what is the thread about, and why did Tony R say what he said?!?

Are you familiar with Marillion - the album Misplaced Childhood?

Check it out - I'd be interested to hear what you think (also, you'll come across the lyric lines quoted in the opening post).

Nope. All I know of Marillion is that pic of them on the marquis in one of my RUSH Tourbooks....I've heard some on the "Underdog Prog" show on The Dividing Line, but never got into them as much...

Oh, it's their best album. So full of intensity. Listening to the whole thing takes your emotions for a ride, but thankfully leaves you feeling uplifted at the end.

Interesting turn this thread took! I was a little out of my mind when I started it....that part of the album has been on repeat in my head for a few days.... I was feeling a bit maudlin.

Mind you, I don't remember any of it because I was too young! When I was last in Montreal a few years ago we drove past the former Expo grounds and they still had some buildings (apartments?) standing there.

This was called Habitat 67, and my memories are vague as well except for the bathrooms for the people, met an interesting kid from Tennessee

Every time I see this thread, I think of the Little Feat song Oh Atlanta!

 

Oh, and I have some very hissy old recordings on analog cassette of the Grateful Dead and I believe Jefferson Airplane both, performing live at the Montreal Expo in '67- August 4th and 5th.

WOAH!!! Sounds like something I would've done had I had my Panasonic monaural cassette recorder when I was nine! (my parents wouldn't have taken me to those concerts!) :( :)

Well, I wasn't there, I admit. I acquired the recordings sometime in the early 1990s, through trading. (Ahh, the days of handwritten bootleg tape lists, sent through the ol' U.S. Mail).

Yes, that's exactly it! I suppose it looked futuristic at the time.
