Location: Jet City		Jeff's topic on movies made me think of this. The best closers of all time in a concert. Mine used to be Rush's YYZ at the end of Exit Stage Left, but I think I have a new favorite.

And I was at this one...

Location: NJ		". . Remember the flying pink pig? . ."

Madison Square Garden. 'right around Jul.4th.

There had been a rash of people throwing lit fireworks (cherry bombs, M80's) about like confetti. There had been instances at a Zeppelin show(that I was also at) just prior to this one. A cherry bomb went-off near Jimmy Page's right-hand (they didn't press charges because his guitar-playing actually improved) . .

Somebody lobs an M80 up to the stage & goes off near Waters' head. He throws his bass down on the stage, an just f@ckin' TEARS-INTO "who' eva'th fook it wuz". . .
He ended it with "leave th'Fireworks to us" . . .

At the end part of "Sheep", when those two cherry-pickers just rose out of the dark stage just SPRAYING plumes of fireworks out of the bottoms, I was just like "HOLY SH!T!! . . .".


Obviously, . . . Fire Marshall Restrictions weren't QUITE what they are t'day . . .


The pig worked better at outdoor venues.
(It kinda' hard to hide something that size in the rafters of th'Garden)

Main Street - Bob Segar

He could have faded it out and it would have been fine, though predictable. Instead he came up with an intelligent and definitive ending. Classy.

Funny you mention that, Beal.

That part at the end was always one of my favorite piano parts . . .

Now, (after a few piano lessons) I can actually PLAY it.
I'm not "good" at it, but it's something to "work" on, and it's like the whole "veil of mystery" has been lifted from it . . .

it's rather cool.


I love the way they "synched" the end credits to "Goodfellas" to the changes in that tune.

That part was written by his drummer, Jim Gordon.
Back in the good-old-days before his drug-adled psychosis prompted him t'kill his mother & go t'prison. Sad.

Got that ajax song deal in there ... 'stronger than dirt'.

I also really like the whole second half of "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" when Bobby Keys and Keith and boys get their whole groove going.

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest		I agree with Layla as well...

Back in my radio days I got a wild hair and did mix of Blinded By the Light... somewhere around the end of it after the final "make it threw the night" "I'll turn you on sonny to something strong" I brought in the Clapton ending of Layla... let it run to it's end, then dropped into the final "She got down but she never got tired, She's gonna make it....through the night"

I thought it sounded pretty cool, and apparently so did a few others as I started getting calls as to what album it was on. I just said it was a radio only version. LOL!
