Rain Parade: C/D

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

Nice!

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

How I wish I could see this.

"1 hour 1/2 ago" is such a stunner.

Talkin' in my sleep is my fave

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.

How did I manage to miss this? I'm so ashamed, this is sounding really good today!
