That was so good. Great stage performers can really bring out the best in a song. Of course Maiden is a perfect example. Dio/Geezer doing sign of the southern cross would be a Sabbath example.
Or this song...which should only ever be a live recording 🙂
@vondon302 Damn right! I bought a CD of theirs just to get Hot Rod Lincoln - the only song on the whole album I had actually heard of - and found a lot more that I liked.
@66p1800inpieces If that was The Final Frontier, I admit to not being that familiar with that album outside When The Wild Wind Blows. That being said, pretty good song.
I would say with a lot of artists they're best to hit with a little gap since a big new album. I recently saw The Sword, and while there was a period where they apparently weren't playing much off their first album, this tour didn't have that problem.
@cb i think this is a common sentiment. it was a long time between drinks, daisy wasn't great, and shortly after the album they broke up under undesirable circumstances.
@napoli The effect of Rankin/Bass productions on the collective psyche of Gen X would make a fascinating thesis topic for some sociology student. All this stuff we all saw as kids, don't really think much about, but is still rattling around in our heads...
