I saw this tour, January 83, in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was either the show before or after the Memphis show that was filmed & from which this comes. 41 years later & I remember it like it was yesterday. In the 4-5 weeks after this I also saw Ozzy & Rush, both of which were in Charlotte, NC. I was 17, a junior in high school, and was on top of the world 🤣

I have experience of american friends of my age, in their 50s and they were raised and have a love of country but hard rock always features heavily. What was it about that music at that time that crossed genre boundaries?

Good question. I think it’s pretty standard fare for teenage 🇺🇸 (can only speak to here) males to at least go through a metal/hard rock phase, of which many never leave. And I don’t think it was specific to just that point in time. I was heavily into Sabbath/Priest/Blue Oyster Cult/Rush/Van Halen until hearing Grateful Dead in 82. Of course the girl who turned me on to GD had a big role in this but she never panned out as I hoped she would. The band, however, turned out to be quite the consolation prize 🤣

I never turned my back on those hard bands, they just dropped down a big notch. I still listen to them a lot, especially BOC, Sabbath, & Van Halen. The older I get the soft spot I have for the bands from that specific part of my life gets even softer

How the hell are you finding this great stuff? Love love love. Totally digging the motorik "Can-style" beat.

It's on Funk Night, the same label as Misha Panfilov who has been discussed here before.

@Xann -- and now I finally grasp the phonetic cleverness of the X in your name, as in complexion.

Heh - It's nowt clever, I thought XAN looked cool on three character high score tables in the arcade.
