This is weird. I'm on little sleep after my Vai experience last night and working all day. I see Ozrics in an hour and the two people that were going with me are both sick. So I gave a CD to my son and his friend to listen to, and if he likes it they will go with me.
Oh yeah...the set list:
1) Jethro Tull - Beltane
Jam Forte told me this was a great Spring tune. Although Tull is my favorite band, I can never understand a lot of what Ian sings. I read the lyrics....spot on Jammy!
2-9) Tabula Rasa (same)
Lahto
Miks' ette vastaa vanhat puut
Tuho
Gryf
Tyhja on taulu
Nyt maalaan elamaa
Vuorellaistuja
Prinssi
I heard a couple tunes on the Moon and decided to give it a listen. I took right to it. Along with Hidria Spacefolk (last week's CD), Finland is getting some serious love! I read some reviews that were less than crazy about it. Well, I like it.
10-12) Taal - Aspartamus, Barbituricus, Flat Spectre
This French band has a neat sound. Love to see these guys at Nearfest. Three songs here for your pleasure.
13-21) Fish - Acoustic Session (Live At the Funny Farm 1994)
Lucky
Internal Exile
Kayleigh
Fortunes of War
Dear Friend
Sugar Mice
Somebody Special
Jump Suit City
Lady Let It Lie
I was recently given this, and was looking for an excuse to play it. "Spring cleaning" is a good enough reason
.
22-30) Steve Vai
Part one of a two part spotlight, this week the less proggy tunes and next week the more fusion/prog efforts.
Viv Woman - Flexable
Survive - Sex & Religion
Bad Horsie - Alien Love Secrets
Here I Am - The Ultra Zone
Windows to The Soul - The Ultra Zone
The Crying Machine - Fire Garden
The Riddle - Passion and Warfare
The Audience Is Listening - Passion and Warfare
Liberty - Passion and Warfare
31) Marillion - Easter
After a lot of wrangling, I got the DJ at my wedding to play mostly my selections. He still snuck in "That's what friends are for"...just what is appropriate for a wedding, NOT. I was able to get this tune in.
Hope you have a good Easter. I was told that three times today. Each time I said, how about a good Friday and Saturday? I could use that too.
Note the post-Fish Marillion tune. Can't we all get along?
Update: looks like solo Ozrics tonight
