Fusion-tastic!

[MrBump]

Love this.

Mr Moore during his "fusion" period...  It was the furious flurry of notes that he does so well that got me into him in the first place.

I could live without the drum solo though...

[Philly Q]

I don't think I've ever heard that before, although I think I have most of the stuff from that period on ancient vinyl.

Not sure... too much keyboardiness for me, and I find the guitar tone a bit too smooth.  But I enjoyed Paicey's drum solo!  :lol:


I prefer this one from the same(?) show:

(Even though the song is virtually a rewrite of "Mistreated"!)

That's a great line-up. All of them are excellent players.

I think but may be wrong that it's from the Back on the Streets album. Been so long since I listened to it since I only have it on Vinyl.

I remember  buying and enjoying his first solo album / outing from which this came " Back On The Streets" . It was a mix of fusion, blues, Punk - and Ballad. 

Also he did do a mid career album called something like ' A Different Beat " which I gather was relatively 'alternative'. That is why it seemed a bit rich when he gave Joe Bonammassa the bad word for " trying too many styles".

[FELINEGUITARS]

What a great band - top p;ayers
Didn't like the tune though

Loved Gazza stuff from Corridors of Power onwards

Ah, that's one of the ones I haven't got!

I think it's safe to say that right now "fusion" is DEFINITELY my least favourite genre of music.
I want my 7 minutes and 52 seconds back! >,,<
Hey, at least I gave it a shot!

Well done for giving it a try!

Back On The Streets had lots of this type of stuff on - I love the titles.  "Flight Of The Snow Moose", for example... Brilliant!

[gingataff]

Huge Beck/Hammer influence there.

[phlip]

The Title Track is without a doubt the best track on the album

(OK parisianne Walkways is a classic too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18FgnFVm5k0 )

Gary's never really got his head around the whole sartorial elegance thing, has he?  great player, great tone, dresses in the dark....  ;)

Didn't everyone wear two-sizes-too-small red T-shirts and blue leggings in 1983?  And get their hair cut by their mum?

I know I did.

Superb vid!

Don Airey is a close mate's uncle, which is pretty cool.

[Rock Pig]

Keyboardist really stole the show for me. Awesome.
Gary's playing was great but so much of it was just random chromatic widdling - not cool.
And I never saw the attraction in drum solos - they're the least musical sounding things in the god damn world.

I'm not really a fusion person. I prefer rock with a few jazz elements.

As for Gary himself I prefer his blues ballads - I'm probably gonna get yelled at but to me Still Got The Blues is a brilliant song.
