hey, @warm_leatherette ! Is your name from the single by “The Normal”, or from the Grace Jones version? Or neither?
of course, the most sultry of their tracks, love Yello
Fripp played on several Van Der Graff Generator songs. His double solo at the end of this song is quite “fripp like”.
I know, I also love VdGG, I have all the records, and most of Peter’s solo ones. H to He is up there with some of the best VdGG…
haha, didn’t know you were a fan. Yeah, I think my two faves are H to He and Still Life. One of the greatest strokes of luck from my past was seeing PH solo in a punk rock club in 1978.
I saw Peter live 4 times on 2 continents, and VdGG during their reunion tour in Utrecht NL. That show blew the roof off, still one of my all time faves. Also, check, I posted A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers here many moons ago, still I consider that their masterpiece
Yeah, I have the CD of the first reunion in London, it’s awesome. Of course I know plague well, but I have to confess I don’t like it as much as some of their “easier” stuff. Of course they stuck Man Erg on that record (at least in the US?). PH did sing that song when I saw him solo.
Here is a young VdGG live
And Peter at around the same time solo
And here is a Rockpalast recording of the same tour I saw them on in Utrecht, NL.
