Re: TDIH - From the Dawn of the Welnick Era |
Sorry, but a rockin' Gloria from Bob is the kiss of death to a show as far as I'm concerned. And one of the reasons Keith is my preferred keyboard player is that he didn't write songs. Also I'm not as down on Vince as many here because I was a Tubes fan.
BTW Did you know there was a GD fanzine based in the U.K. in the 80s and 90s called Spiral Light ?

Re: TDIH - From the Dawn of the Welnick Era |
Purely from a songwriting stndpoint,
I'd take some faux Rick Danko ("Sing Your Blues Away") over faux Glen Frey ("Tons of Steel") any old day.
Still, it is strange that they gave the new guy the second track on Wake of the Flood. Baptismo del Fuego!
And you know, the Keith and Donna album ain't half bad! A friend found it on vinyl for a buck. Jerry's all over it. Two of McCartney's Wings play on it. As does the baddest-ass drummer ever, Bernard Purdie.
Still, it suffers from cocaine lethargy.

Re: TDIH - From the Dawn of the Welnick Era |
A) I think I have heard of that fanzine but have never seen it. I need to look that up on the web....thanx for the lead/reminder!
B) Yes, Gloria could be a throwaway but I liked it. Have you ever listened to?:

Cheers!

Re: TDIH - From the Dawn of the Welnick Era |
Better than usual, I listened all the way to the end !
Here's a link, but as it faded away in '96 it never had an online edition.
http://easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~billpannifer/spiral.htmThe early editions were photocopies, but as you can see by the cover of the last edition it had become quite professional looking.

Re: TDIH - From the Dawn of the Welnick Era |
Thanx for sharing!! Played around a little bit on it this AM and liked what I saw!
I read the LA Forum 89 article; well written by an astute fan and it made me feel as if it was all happening real time in front of me. Almost Blair Jackon Blog-ish, if you will.
So familiar with UC, Relix, etc. it is fun to see the international fan stuff, too. Noticed a link to Franklins Tower wh/ I will have to noodle on, too.
Thanks again and have a grateful weekend!
