A clip from the Eagles' reunion concert, 1994, @ Aspen, CO.
If you don't own the DVD, it's a must get!
The production completely changed my mind about the Eagles.
 
Saw them play before Rush @ McElroy Auditorium, oh gosh, when was that.....1976, or so....
Speaking of Rush in 1976, that was the year they released the live album "All The World's A Stage". If 2112 didn't save their career, this one certainly did. The period from 1975-76 was gargantuan for live double albums. Frampton, who was discussed, Kiss, Rush, Wings, Blue Oyster Cult, I'm sure I'm missing a few.
 
I could post about 15 early Foreigner tunes. Here are two of my faves.

Love "Starrider" featuring a rare Mick Jones vocal.

Just love deep tracks in general. My favorite song off Styx Pieces of Eight is "Queen of Spades".

My favorite from Toys in the Attic is "Uncle Salty"

Def Leppard High & Dry-"Another Hit And Run".

I came very close to including Starrider in the post, and, in fact listened to it last night. You can really sense the early progressive rock roots with that song, and also feel the Pink Floyd influence.

That said, even though I enjoy listening to it, when I watch the older performances of it I can't help but get a little Spinal Tap vibe and chuckle from it, like I'm expecting a miniature Stonehenge replica to descend onto the stage...

If you enjoy deep tracks, I would recommend Nazareth's "Please Don't Judas Me," especially with headphones. I remember it being especially good with, um, "recreational substances" back in the day.
 
Careful. You're going to get me going down the "Soft Rock" tangent.

Love Ambrosia, LRB, Firefall, Orleans, etc. Just another great genre from the 70s.
