The Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels Tour was a concert tour which was launched in North America in August 1989 to promote the band's album Steel Wheels; it continued to Japan in February 1990, with ten shows at the Tokyo Dome. The European leg of the tour, which featured a different stage and logo, was called the Urban Jungle Tour; it ran from May to August 1990.Quote:

I was doing my Finals at the time but I did go and see Jethro Tull the night before one of them.

Not bad, at all.

Very talented Australian multi-instrumentalist - written played, recorded and produced by her in its entirety, much more mellow than her earlier stuff and just right to round off a Sunday evening.
Couple of crackers there, Mike. Too late for anything that raucous, so this one to end the evening:
The Cinematic Orchestra - The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos (Soundtrack) (2008)
https://i.discogs.com/_kACX_v-DFEgaA...Q4LmpwZWc.jpeg
I had it in my head that The Cinematic Orchestra "accidentally" got given this project for a French Disney documentary about, um, flamingos, because of their name. I'm not sure if that is entirely correct, but according to Wikipedia, Imogen Heap was due to do it, but pulled out at the last minute and it passed on to The Cinematic Orchestra...
Whatever, it's a magnificent soundtrack in my opinion, well worth a listen, and the documentary isn't a bad watch either, narrated for the UK version by Mariella Frostrup.
Mariella Frostrup still has a sexy-sounding voice. :)
A Jack Bruce recording that is new to me.Quote:

Nice one, Steve! The first couple of tracks with Feels Closer I am never sure on, but the second half of the album especially is very strong. All Night Long next purchase…?

Rush 'Hemispheres' on a lovely Japanese pressing. All these years later I still think side 2 is one of the best halves of an LP ever.
No, somehow I missed that one, but it's going on my list. "Low Life" is the one I just ordered. I find these guys to have done just my sort of thing - I guess they're sort of EDM, but much more varied in their pace and with plenty of light and shade to keep them interesting. Got you to thank for this :)

As someone who only has ELP's debut LP, but was never convinced to buy any of their successive recordings, that compilation would be of interest to me.Quote:

Workmanlike stadium-rock offering from 1991
The parents of the native American boy featured on the cover sued the band for unauthorised use of his image. They were unsuccessful.
Not at all bad, but IMO it's not her best.Quote:

Great album this
