Holy crap, I'm so happy! One of my favourite bands since I was in school, never even considered they'd ever get back together.

Oh man, I hope Roback's involved!

The only Roback on board was Steven. Of the original crew, only Piucci, Steven Roback and John Thoman are there.

Always liked this song a lot - dead ringer for something Richard Wright would sing on Obscured By Clouds

D!me again
RAIN PARADE Torino, Big Club, Nov 13, 1985 Soundboard recording from the master reel.
QUALITY: A- TIMING: 62:54
LINEAGE: Mixing desk > Reel recorder > K7 > CD > FLAC > YOU
A picture disc was bootlegged from this very recording (actually a copy of my tape), but the mastering work was awful and the sound quality is a lot worse than the original - also, it has 11 tracks, here we have 17. This is the whole thing, from the venue's manager introduction straight to the encores. I have vined a copy of this cd many years ago, in my PaisleyWeeds Yahoogroup, so some of you might have got it already. Just check the timing and number of songs.
TRACKLIST: 01. Intro/No easy way down 02. It can't be today 03. Ain't that nothing 04. Invisible people 05. Don't feel bad 06. You are my friend 07. Broken horse 08. Mystic Green 09. Depending on you 10. My secret country 11. Blue 12. Night shade 13. Both eyes closed 14. Cheap wine 15. Band intro 16. Only business 17. 1+1/2 hrs. ago

Just spotted this, nothing new but a remaster might shine them up a lil.

Overall thumbs up on the new album. I never, ever considered something like Neil Young's Electric Light Orchestra and I feel dumb that such an obviously fun concept was there for the taking.
