CityToCity/GerryRafferty

Over the weekend I listened to 2 albums One was City to City by former Stealer's Wheel member Gerry Rafferty best known for there hit "stuck in the middle with you". The album features the hit Baker Street which has great sax played by Raphael Ravenscroft who has played with such artists as Abba,Pink Floyd and Robert Plant. Another Classic song and the other single from the album Right Down the Line. I found this at my mom's house mixed in with some other gems The smoker you drink the player you get by Joe Walsh and the best of America two really great albums. I would recommend all 3. Here is the original video for Baker Street.

RUSH AT THE FAIR!!!

Last night I went to see Rush at the Minnesota state fair grandstand. It was one hell of a show. All though out the night they played stuff from there new album Clockwork Angels and also stuff from the 1981 classic Moving Pictures such as Limelight and Tom Sawyer. They had amazing videos for most of the songs and awesome pyrotechnics. I wish they would have played my favorite song Fly by Night. But they did play some of my other favorites such as Freewill and a weird version Working Man where it started out more relaxed and mellow but then midway though they burst back into the original version which was really cool. It was also Alex Lifeson's 57th Birthday and as a present the crew and band go him a very long corndog and a porkchop on a stick. The drum solo by the greatest living drummer Neil Pert was incredible because it was 8 minutes long it had a cool video to go along with it and in that video I could see pictures of Big band drummer Gene Krupa. I liked the jazzy solo alot to bad that when I recorded it it did not turn out to well.Then at the end we decided to wait for the fire works because we were not in any rush to leave. During the fireworks I released the Tom Emmer for Governor balloon with the hope of it getting destroyed by the fireworks but sadly it just floated the other way. Here is Geddy early on in the show.
