jamesjazzguitar Posted July 22, 2012 I had a great seat right in the middle, about 20 rows back and right next to an aisle so I didn't have any 'heads' blocking my view. Yes, great show. I really felt like I was back in time about 30 or so years since most of the songs were from the early years; all of the hits. Plus he talked about some of his favorites like Waterloo Sunset. A song he said was all about love and for lovers. Yea, I didn't know where I should of posted this, but 'off topic, favorite music' looked right to me even if I didn't post a link to youtube or any music.

EugeniaH Posted July 22, 2012 Wow, you really did have a good seat. You were lucky, with a group as famous as these guys... It's interesting for me to hear about the groups that you like, since you yourself are a musician. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamesjazzguitar Posted July 23, 2012 Chrissie would always play a Kinks song at The Pretender concerts. I went to one in L.A. a few months after they had broken up. When she went to introduce the song she didn't mention Ray or the Kinks but she said 'don't fall in love with your idols'. There was some pain in her voice when saying that.

EugeniaH Posted July 24, 2012 *The only Styx song I really like is "Blue Collar Man".* I've never heard "Blue Collar Man": Admittedly, I like the "sappy" Styx best. "Come Sail Away", "Lady", etc. Dennis DeYoung has a good voice for these... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottman1932 Posted July 24, 2012 I've always liked "Too Much Time On My Hands" by Styx: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted July 24, 2012 You didn't like "Blue Collar Man"? Is that a song for dudes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted July 24, 2012 Hey, I'm no dude! :^0 You're right, there wasn't enough in the song about flowers and love and heartbreak, all the things we women love to hear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted July 25, 2012 Did Styx ever do a song about the heartbreak of psoriasis? Edited by: finance on Jul 25, 2012 3:51 PM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted July 25, 2012 I don't believe so, but too bad - sounds like a missed hit for them! Heartbreak. Heart. Okay, sounds good. Here's "Magic Man": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDwKuYWVMvo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted July 25, 2012 For "flowers", how about "Flowers" by the Emotions, a great soul ballad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted July 25, 2012 Cool, I've never heard of them or this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQW26zy41-0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted July 25, 2012 Also, "Where Have All the Flowers Gone", lol! I once saw this band live at a small outdoor concert. It was really cool, though I don't like this song I posted... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DownGoesFrazier Posted July 26, 2012 Wow. If we're getting into doowop, I have an endless supply. The national anthem of fast doo-**** may be "Remember Then" by the Earls. The best slow doo-**** group was the Harptones. Willie Winfield was just a fantastic lead vocalist. Best songs---"That's the Way it Goes", "Cry Like I Cried", "Life is but a Dream, "THe Shrine of St. Cecilia".

EugeniaH Posted July 26, 2012 I don't listen to much doo-****, so I'll educate myself. The Earls: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ-bdlPqJME The Harptones (I like their sound): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTdCfD4VZWo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DownGoesFrazier Posted July 26, 2012 Incidentally, "THat's the Way it Goes" was covered by Manhattan Transfer, who had in general really good taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hibi Posted July 26, 2012 I remember those commercials! What was so heartbreaking about it??? They talked about it like it was leprosy........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hibi Posted July 26, 2012 I bought a Doo-**** compilation set earlier this year (think it was 4 cds) and I love it! (there are several sets out there.......) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EugeniaH Posted July 26, 2012 I remember Manhattan Transfer! I remember seeing one of their videos on the VH-1 music channel... This channel catered to "older folks", as I recall, as an alternative to MTV. They played a lot of Basia, et al. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hibi Posted July 26, 2012 I was a big Manhatten Transfer fan. I have most of their CDs. Unsure if they are still together....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
