Yeah they were (and still are) a great rock band.
I love that sound on "At Budokan". I think it's the Japanese audience that makes it. Those high-pitched screaming is reminiscent of The Beatles in their heyday (so I'm aware of anyway!).

No.669: Radio KAOS by Roger Waters (1986)
Ex-Pink Floyd bassist/vocalist/songwriter/control freak with his second solo release. I don't rate it all that highly amongst the wealth of classic Pink Floyd-related material as it has dated badly. It's also a very mixed bag of subject matter based around a Los Angeles radio show and listeners such as "Billy" tuning in for chatter then the DJ linking rather confusing themes such as the miner's strike of '84, the concrete block thrown from the motorway bridge, the onset of technology, the usual end-of-the-world doom and gloom which Waters is rather 'fond' of and somebody who "doesn't like fish". A mixed bag.

Enjoying.David Crosby tells about living next to Jackson Browne, in a shed-like ground floor apartment when he was writing "Running on Empty" and said he had the most astounding work ethic of any writer he knew. Said he would work on a piece 12 hours or more perfecting. Crosby said it was so good, no one cared about the repetition.
Have always liked the Moody Blues on tour because they always hired the local symphony to play with them. Always a great performance.

I think you can tell that the Running On Empty album will make an appearance in here (my favourite of Browne's in fact).
Love the Moodies and their solo projects. My best mate's son was named after Justin Hayward incidentally and practically burst into tears when he met Hayward at a 'War of the Worlds' performance a few years ago.
Sorry there was only one album to post yesterday...up to my eyes in ironing all afternoon and I even forgot about the gym. I must have been enjoying it so much! Not.
