Human League / Soft Cell / Alison Moyet, tonight, at the “Texas Trust CU Theatre” in Grand Prairie, Texas!
I’ve been a huge HL fan since high school, but this is my first opportunity to see them live. I probably know every word to every song on “Dare!” “Tainted Love” is the only SC song I know, but looking forward to hearing it, and I only vaguely remember Alison Moyet from the heyday of MTV. I have always liked this venue, which is located adjacent to Lone Star Park, a horse racing course. It’s been there for over 20 years. My concert DB tells me I’ve attended the following shows there: John Fogerty, Steely Dan, the briefly reunited James Gang, Spinal Tap, The Beach Boys 50th Anniversary, Don Felder, (fake) Foreigner, Styx, Deep Purple, Brian Wilson’s Pet Sounds, and even Eagles! The only show I left early was Foreigner, when I realized Mick Jones wasn’t on stage. I found out later that he came out after three or four songs. |

My copy of Jethro Tull's Under Wraps: The Unwrapped Edition arrived yesterday. It has been some years since I have heard either Under Wraps or Fly By Night, so I'm taking a listen and finding I do still enjoy them. They are quite different from much of what went before, and Under Wraps was definitely 'marmite' for many JT fans. Like all of the boxsets, it is a lovely job, with a lot of information about the albums, interviews with Ian Anderson, Peggy, Martin Barre and others aboutt he making of, etc. Each album is presented with the original programmed drums and with updated drum programming (apparently they thought about getting a real drummer in to redo them, but it didn't work). And there's a live BBC recording from Hammy Odeon (the day after the one recorded on London Fields), and a Bluray with all the music in 5.1 and a couple of videos. I'm hoping that Crest of a Knave will be the next one out, and then I think I'll have all I want - JT wise, anyway! - to the relief of my wallet! But these Tull boxsets really are pretty much the gold standard for presentation at a pretty reasonable price, compared to what some people ask for sets with much less quantity or information. I sometimes think I'm the only Tull fan in the world who loves Under Wraps... I thought the remix was excellent. j-tull.com is out in August, but it's on a different label to the Chrysalis albums (Probably the same album the Xmas album box came out on.) Bruce Soord has done the remix. Loves might be a bit strong, but I don't have the same reaction against it that many Tull fans seem to have. I am enjoying the new version too. |

I was planning to see Martin Barre, with Clive Bunker and Dee Palmer, in Houston in 2020. The tour was postponed for obvious reasons, and when it resumed in 2022, Dee had stepped away. I’m sad at her passing but envious of her long and productive life. |

Dave Greenslade has died. :-( I do like a bit of Greenslade. This is sad. I've always liked Greenslade. First saw them live around 1974, then in 2001 I think. |
