Ha! Great operas. Just sooooo da*n long.

Just reminds me of when I lived in Munich, we purchased a Wagner Opera Series of tickets, to be played throughout that season. Within days after attending the first one I sold the rest. One of the scheduled operas was 8 hours long, with only one short intermission! Eek

Arrogant Bas****, that Wagner! Mad Big Grin

Incredible music, but I retain the power of when to shut him off. Smile


I can't listen to too much Wagner. I start getting the urge to conquor Poland.

Possibly my favorite "live" album. Just listening to Duane's slide on "Statesboro Blues" reminds me of just how tragic his loss was.


Agreed that it is a great live album. My favorite live album, though, is prbably 'Live at Leeds' (The Who) just for how much better those songs sound off of that than off of their original recordings.
Pete Townshend's "White City"

Love the entire album, especially "Crashing By Design"...

Nothing must pass this line
Unless it is well defined
You just have to be resigned
You're crashing by design

You once believed that crazy accidents
were happening to you
You were chasing a capricious wind
Whenever bad luck and trouble
happened to pursue you
The dice would surely save your skin
But when you look back you must realize
That nothing in your life's divine
Everything that's ever befallen you
Happened simply 'cause it crossed your mind
You're crashing by design

Nothing must pass this line
Unless it is well defined
You just have to be resigned
You're crashing by design

In your single-roomed flat in a courtyard building
You sit alone just like a broken toy
Where's your mother, where's your lover
and where are the children
Are you a man or still a boy?
Who left you behind, or did you run
From the crush of so many options?
Now you know the special despair of the man
Discussed, debated and offered for adoption

Nothing must pass this line
Unless it is well defined
You just have to be resigned

Another man without a woman
Dropped like a tool no longer required
A man who longs for the stifling
Milk flowered bosom, a fool
who's no longer desired

Another man without a woman
Too many rages have cost you this time
Another man among a hundred children
You're just a child who is lost in time

You're crashing by design
You're crashing by design
I't all happens by design
I't all happens by design
You're crashing by design

I't all happens by design
I't all happens by design
You're crashing by design
