Had to chime on this one.....I was at one of their very first US shows on
that first tour they did...at the Rat in Boston. Was a kid around 16, used
to sneak in to a bunch of shows when the right door man was there, who would
le t me in as long as I did not drink--what a guy! Hey, I didn't
care--what you say sir! I wanted to rock--and, bless him, he knew that.
(never drank anything until I was 18 there)
Anyway, this is true.....i had the import of "Outlandos" already and the
band ripped the place up--they were just great, really great. But they had
only the material ready from the album, so they stretched it out, but they
played a bunch of the songs again. There were 30/40 people there, but they
gave it all.
Never saw them again, live, tho. Loved the first three albums, but they
just did not do much for me after that. That said, I've literally not
watched the Grammys since 1988, I think when Jethro Tull won the Best Hard
Rock album the first year they had that award. I was done after that and
have not tuned in since. So they will play the Grammys, eh? Well, I'll get
off my high-horse and watch--- if I remember it's on. ;-P
