I'll never forget the beatdown ELP took when I saw them at the Fillmore East back in the day. I was a huge fan, excited that we scored tickets. Wasn't aware that Edgar Winter's White Trash was 2nd billing. Well, being the era that it was, I think the whole audience was trippin' on acid, expecting a psychedelic ELP roller coaster. Out comes Edgar & the boys, basically performing their whole 'Roadwork Live' record. Poor ELP had to follow FOUR sweaty encores! 1st song was 'Barbarian' followed by the side-long tune from Tarkus. People were walking out in droves! Ah, the good ol' days!;)
Are there any albums you consider perfect?
My daughter gave me an ipod for my birthday and I have been loading music to it slowly. As a perxon who listens to albums start to finish I have been loading albums I consider high quality beginning to end.
Makes me wonder how many perfect albums there are out there. Steely Dan's "Pretzel Logic" is to me perfect. What I mean by perfect is not one sound needs to be added or subtracted to make it better. Funny thing is, "Pretzel Logic" is not my favorite Steely Dan album, but its sound is perfect. I can only come up with a few.
Pink Floyd, "Wish You Were Here"
Tears For Fears, "Songs From The Big Chair"
