Say You Will definitely lacks coherance as you said, and it's too long. It doesn't hold my interest through the whole album and I only listen to whole albums. Behind The Mask as well. FM definitely has its ups and downs.

Great, classic songs, but not in my top 10 - they can't all be in there..lol. Thanks.

sketchers - online - hard to find them in the stores.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow do they come in black

@@Voodoolounge94 There's many different styles - go to sketchers website - that's where they are.

@TheAlanRosenbergShow Ok thank you

I don't have that Kiss boxset but I'm sure that was a much better purchase. Enjoy.

They do the guitar weave - that's for sure.

Shetland Sheepdog - better known as a Sheltie - only breed I've owned (he's my fourth). We all love our dogs - for sure (and cat for you too).

I never heard that term before - but he was certainly Thunderfingers as they often called him.

Absolutely - but he terrified me in Blue Velvet. Amazing.

@@martinstarnes2237 thanks as always for your honesty. And that’s a key part of this video. I can’t imagine seeing the lamb live before it came out. Thanks for your honesty and saying it was saved by the encores. Overtime it became a favorite and one of mine as well. But the guts and the audacity of these great artists to present the complete Works live before an audience that never heard it. Absolutely amazing. Now nobody will play even a deep cut that we know lol you also taught me so much about Cropredy. I had no idea what a wide variety of music is there. Rick Wakeman is going to be amazing. enjoy.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow I agree entirely. Perhaps living under the shadow of the bomb, and we did in the '70s (and maybe are again today, at least over here. Trump's sacrificial island?), somehow meant people, including rock bands, took more chances with the time they thought they had. I don't think we were that convinced we'd all live to old age. Or maybe that's all bullshit! Lol! Wakeman is a lovely guy, as you have found out for yourself. Last saw him a couple of years ago doing a solo piano/stand-up comedy show in front of 200 people in a little town a few miles from where I live (songs included Strawberry Fields/While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Morning Has Broken, And You And I, Jane Seymore, Merlin, and Life on Mars, among others!!). And he's played Cropredy before. This year he has Matt Pegg, Dave's son, on bass (time moves on - Matt Pegg is in his mid-50s now!). Apparently the Genesis gig I attended in 1975 was recorded in full but only snippets have ever been released for some reason - you probably know more than me about this.

@@martinstarnes2237 The official Genesis Lamb Lies Down On Broadway live release is in the Genesis Archive 1967-1975 boxset - recorded 1/24/75 from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles - but parts and even I believe complete songs were re-recorded if I remember correctly.

@@DAGDRUM53 that’s fantastic. It’s truly a favorite of mine. I hope you love it. I’m sure you will.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Thanks, Alan. UPDATE: just learned the book weighs a measly 10.4 pounds.

@@DAGDRUM53 Wow - that is incredible...lol

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Before buckling down to read this I checked the 5-star and 1-star reviews (the only ones that matter) at an online merchant's site (they wanted $44 but I found the book for $10.71 delivered). One reviewer attempted reading this photo collection monstrosity and 'found it impossible to read.' Even wearing glasses in good light my 71-year-old eyes couldn't read the fine print text, made more problematic by the distracting color photos that border every paragraph. I was determined trifles like tiny print would be no impediment. My little dollar flashlight revealed intensely interesting stuff about the band formation, waiting around hours to jam at clubs, what amps/guitars they bought, how the lineup solidified and day-to-day band stuff maybe others don't find entertaining. It's probably nothing I hadn't already read in Stone Alone but forgot (rereading that next). I didn't forget though Wyman penned extensive diaries while his memory was fresh; glad he did, fascinating minutiae here. Thanks again for the heads up.

I'm glad you love them so much. I'll have to politely disagree, but music is personal. I guess you're not alone in that Queen is selling their catalog for more than double anyone else including Dylan and Springsteen

Very true - I don't own that album - I HATED that song, so I didn't cover it...but yea - great choice.

Thanks as always. I'm a big fan of Alan Parsons, but I don't remember Alan Parsons touring those albums as a conceptual concert. Perhaps I'm wrong. That was the concept of the video - these albums were performed live in their entirety as it's own show. Those Parson's albums are great though.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Parsons and Wolfson Did present "Tales Of Mystery And Imagination" once, at Royal Albert Hall. I'm not 100% on that , but I believe it's true.

@@derhandtrommler Interesting - not a tour exactly, but I guess would count. Not aware of it. Thanks.

Thanks for watching - I'm not sure what you're saying...lol (but I'm really tired..lol). The shelving I have is amazing - I bought at a local record store and I bought a bunch of them - they weren't cheap. But the "real estate" - to get on my shelf is valuable to me. I have limited space for sure - so albums have to earn their keep (unless its a band I really love and then I'm a completist). I estimate 20% of my purchases don't make the cut, simply because of space issue.

@TheAlanRosenbergShow I meant to say all the old albums you have are worth a lot of money.

@@Voodoolounge94 oh - ok - thanks for clarifying. Yea, I imagine they are. I've never priced them. My life's collection. Thanks so much.

Interesting. I know Utopia could be theatrical, with the cool guitars and RA staging. Didn't realize they played a whole conceptual album through. I am more of a Rundgren solo artist (though not all of his albums) than a Utopia fan.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Understood. Yes the RA album wasn't a commercial success like most of Utopia and Todd albums but Bearsville backed the group with a lot of props for this tour. Todd made a lot of wonderful but not that commercially viable music.

@@roberthale2268 I love some Utopia, but some of it didn't really appeal to me. Was an interesting time when Rundgren would flip back and forth releasing albums back and forth - some I liked...some not so much though...

Yea that's an amazing photo. Thanks

Quadrophenia is my favorite Who album, but they never played the album in the 70's. On that tour they played select songs, with some effects tapes in between. It was decades later that they did the Quadrophenia tours (which I loved). So that's why I didn't include it. I could've mentioned Tommy as they did play that in its entirety at the time. Probably should've mentioned Tommy I guess.

@@micurzeszow7307 Stormwarch was a major grower for me. My favorite was and is Songs From The Wood and I love Heavy Horses as well. Was such a great period for the band. Stormwatch was darker and more menacing. But it grew over time for me especially after getting the boxset and other live performances Now I love it.

@@markspooner1224 thanks Mark. Wow that’s cool information about Scarfe and Jane Asher. That’s a name from the past.

Thanks so much - I really appreciate it. You never know what people will like or if they like it - so I greatly appreciate your support. Thanks again.

Yep - strong version, though for me with the endless live versions I already have of JJF and the warhorses, they're the least interesting tracks for me.

That's a great one. Thanks.

I actually thought of The Tubes, back in their heyday. Had a wild show, giant toothpaste, pills and a lot more. I saw them later on, without all the props and were just ok. Thanks.

That's a great example - I really like that album too. Thanks.

Thanks, again, for putting my feelings into amazing words, better than I said it. Of course, I'm in complete agreement with you. By the way, I should've included Born In The USA - that is a great cover.

Thanks for your excellent comments on the overlooked, undervalued The Hunter. You know I'm a fan of it. I listen to The Hunter way way more than Autoamerican. And The Hunter continues to be a "go-to" Blondie album for me as well. But overall, yea, you have to be a fan and not a casual listener. Funny that my favorite track on the album is probably For Your Eyes Only, which they submitted to be the title track of the James Bond movie and it was rejected. Another great track from the album.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow For your eyes only is a great song. I think it was Debbie Harry herself that convinced Chris they should include it on this album. And you know thinking about the last comment I made...every artist who has had big success at some point has an album like this because once your at the top where do you go? And the music market changes all the time like any other product. As an artist choosing which direction to go with your sound in trying to keep up what you have created but at the same time compete with what new and up coming musicians are charting with beside you can be a lot of stress after a few years of being around. In 1981-82 some of the members of Blondie are pretty worn out and some of them have gotten knee deep in to drugs to cope with being at the top and Chris got that rare medical condition (forget what it was called) and was very sick and the doctors did not know how to deal with it at first. It was putting stress on Chris and Debbie's marriage and the band, so yeah there was lot's going on behind the scenes during the making of this album. And the other fact is look at the new artists that are just coming out at that time. Madonna with her single Lucky Star is all over the radio and it's a new sound. Prince has taken off, Duran Duran and Culture Club are just starting to make some waves. Within a year of The Hunter's release it's almost a whole new order of synth related pop type artists dominating the charts. I think Talking Heads may have been the only CBGB scene survivor from the Blondie era to have chart success knee deep into the 1980's.. Blondie to their credit were trying new things to keep themselves interesting and fresh in the music market. But they had so many things happening all at once going against the making of this album and it's chances of success. I think in it's own right it is a very special album considering all of those factors. The Hunter has it's place my friend. It does have it's fans and I am certainly one of those. Thank you for posting this wonderful video.

Thanks - I agree Muswell Hillbillies is by far the Kinks best RCA album - great album. And yes, my point was that inflation is not the cause at all of the current pricing. If it was inflation, we would be paying between $45 to $65 dollars in todays world. Springsteen in 1978 for $8 is a fantastic example - and a 2 1/2 + hour show.

Lol. I would have included that if I did the video on S A T U R T U R Night.

At some point, they tried but over the decades, I've no idea. haven't heard anything. Of course they've worked together over the last decades with live albums using the classic Klein era tracks and compilations like 40 Licks that combine both periods. One of the sad legacies of rock music that The Stones don't own their pre-1971 songs.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Sticky Fingers (my fave Stones album) has two Klein owned masters, Sugar and Horses. It's practically it's own greatest hits album! Talking Sticky Fingers cds, the 1994 Virgin pressing sounds best to my ears, 2009 is too harsh IMO. Even the original Columbia pressing sounds pretty good. Four SF cds in my collection, Columbia, zipper Virgin, regular Virgin for the cd player, and the 2009.

@@jasonpp1973 Sticky Fingers is my favorite album of all time. I have at least 6 versions lol. I agree the best versions of the Rolling Stones records albums, including Sticky Fingers are definitely the Virgin releases. I also have those special editions where they reproduced the covers (with the Zipper no less). But yea, those are amazing.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow It would be cool if someone like Giles Martin or Steven Wilson could do a remix of the album.

@@jasonpp1973 Personally I hope not. I love the remastered versions in that you can hear things clearer, with a better sharpness oftentimes. But the whole "fad" of remixing (for example the Beatles and Beatles solo albums like Lennon's), I hope doesn't carry over to the Stones. Remix are completely creating a new album, and I love the Stones albums as they were originally mixed designed. I remember Jagger wanted to remix Exile. Thank God that hasn't happened. The last thing I want is a remix with his singing up in the mix and clear. Giles Martin did a remix of Goats Head Soup - I find it unnecessary. And I personally hope they never remix Sticky Fingers, the greatest album of all time IMHO.

Nice - I actually haven't picked up the Joni Mitchell Archive Series boxsets yet. My backlog of boxsets is already massive so I'm slowing down (or trying to), but eventually I'll get them. I find those boxsets fascinating but at the same time, don't tend to listen to them much. More historical than repeat listening for me.

God - damn - I'm responsible for Queen getting over a billion dollars for their average at best catalog....kill me. please. Damn you actually saw those shows - wow. You need a TV show David. I can't imagine - well I can - from all my reading, listening and watching, but will never equal actually being there. You never fail to impress. And you still keep going to shows. Amazing.

did he say that...I can believe it. Keith rips everyone. Hey I love Keith but I also love Tull.

Love Keith as well, but he can be a smart ass. Keith has a million of these wise cracks for different bands. Always like the question he asked a reporter. What does a dead head fan say when he hears the Grateful Dead sober? This band sucks. I never got into Tull myself. Or a lot of stuff like Yes, ELP, Rush, Alan Parsons, King Crimson, Gentle Hiant, Styx, Strawbs, Uriah Heap, etc. just didn’t have any groove to me. That’s what great about music - to each their own Gimmie my stones, faces, little feat, sly stone, funkadelic, black crowes. I gotta be able to get up and dance ​@@TheAlanRosenbergShow

I like it. That's a very cool idea. My favorite would be Quadrophenia. Thanks - will take some work, but yea - I'll do it. Thanks again.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow it'll be fun you just have a fun take on music and I find no matter what show you do it has a fun sense of humor and that's definitely what this community needs is less serious and more fun after all it's only music and we're just here to have a fun discussion and encourage conversation

I can believe it. So many "critics", youtubers were born in the late 90's early 2000's. I speak to people who were born after The Stones Voodoo Lounge, and to me that's a fairly new record..lol. Where does the time go.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Really my friend seems like yesterday I was 24 yrs old going to some really cool shows oh well we have dvds and blu-rays lol

Thanks for the correction - he's wearing the leather jacket, with the makeup of Rael, but didn't realize that was the encore - interesting. I knew the last show was cancelled due to poor sales, but wasn't sure where. Interesting in that it was in France. I know it was a disappointing way to end the tour for them as that was supposed to be Peter's finale. Thanks again for your corrections.

I don't and have never owned a single album by any of these

Thanks so much. Oh Lucky you - I can only imagine from my reading and listening.

Thanks so much - lucky you to be at that show - I was only 10 years old. I have to live vicariously through the albums, bootlegs and videos. I can only imagine.

yea me too. I still have to be in the mood for APP, but when I am, I love it, but not an easy listen.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Side 2 I like much much more!

It sure was an incredible time - and we were lucky living here on Long Island. Unfortunately those days are long long gone.

Thanks again so much - I really do appreciate it.

Wow - thanks for checking out that older video. Smithereens are a fine band - some really good stuff. I know they have covers albums, forgot they did Tommy. But they have lots of good originals. I hope you enjoy.

Lol- you're the only one who likes it when I sing....lol. Even I don't enjoy it...lol Neighborhood dog...yea that's me....

I actually really like the studio version as well. It's bigger. But the Ya Ya's has the slinky, such a sexual groove. It literally oozes off the grooves and perfect for the song. So yea I really like the Beggars version, but I'll stick with Ya Ya's for the sex in rock and roll. Thanks so much.

ouch and I really like Uriah Heep too. Oh well. Although I probably have to be a lot more popular to be overrated - lol. Sorry to disappoint you.

@@Voodoolounge94 thanks so much. Really appreciate it.

@@Voodoolounge94 they sure are. So glad you enjoyed the show.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Thank you

@TheAlanRosenbergShow I never missed a Rolling stones concert I'm a true fan

@@Voodoolounge94 that is amazing. I give you credit. I passed on the last tour because of the cost and was the same setlist. Even I have my limits (cost prohibitive), otherwise I've seen pretty much every tour since 1975. But yea, I'm a huge fan, know every song inside and out, but there are even much bigger fans - I give you props big time.

@TheAlanRosenbergShow I don't know if the rolling stones will ever do a Farewell tour I like them to keep going

Thanks for sharing. Nice to see BOC so high. I have no Pere Ubu, shall have to investigate.

@@TheAlanRosenbergShow Pere Ubu is a bit industrial/experimental, from Cleveland OH, think of a harder edged/less commercial Devo. They have close to 20 albums, most of them good. I would recommend their first two official releases, Modern Dance and Dub Housing , along with a collection of pre album singles, Datapanik in the Year Zero. Two other late albums I would strongly recommend are The Tenement Year(my AOTY for 1988) and Pennsylvania. Also, there is a reunion album in the early 2000's from Rocket From the Tombs, which was the precursor band to both Pere Ubu and The Dead Boys, which is absolutely killer. Richard Lloyd from Television plays Lead Guitar on it and it's great!

@@painless465 thanks for the recommendations. Definitely out of my wheelhouse but I’ll check it out.

Thanks Doug - sunburn better...lol

It doesn't say. But their Stones line is clearly limited. They certainly will be available for a certain amount of time. No idea how long. Got it as a gift.
