Great concert anyway.
God I remember now - that was the one where Devo got bottled by the hippies and rockers.
What are you listening to now? Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

haha that reviewer seems to have the felt the same way I did about Brand X - boring
Roy Harper was hilarious though
Pity Devo got such a hard time - I liked them

Yes I think that is a good example - musically they were very talented (especially the bassist) but I thought they took too much of the jazz out of the jazz-rock and left it sterile and soulless (compared to many Jazz-Rock bands that I liked very much like the Mahavishnus, Weather report, even Isotope etc). It seemed all show-off and no substance musically.

Here is Roy in a more "serious" mood. A great Song and one of the iconic voices of English folk/rock music.

Lou Reed is dead. Long live the King.
Standing, waiting for a man to show
Wide eyed, one eye fixed on the door
This waiting's killing me
It's wearing me down
Day in, day out
My feet are burning holes in the ground
Darkness, warmer than a bedroom floor
Want someone to hold me close forever more
I'm a sleeping dog
But you can't tell
When I'm on the prowl
You better run like hell
You know it makes sense
Don't even think about it
Life and death
Are things you just do when you're born
CHORUS
Say fear's a man's best friend
Say fear's a man's best friend
Say fear's a man's best friend
You add it up, it brings you down
You add it up, it brings you down
Home is leaving like a man on the run
Trains leading nowhere, where to my son?
We're already dead
But not yet in the ground
Come on, shake my helping hand I'll show you around
You know it makes sense
Don't even think about it
Life and death
Are things you just do when you're born
