Esau Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 He rocked his way through yesterday, lord he thought he had a chance He played guitar and wrote some tunes, of love and romance He did his share of travelin', like a dog without a home A fugitive who would rather give, a star that never shone Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame No one ever warned the boy Rock n' roll is a vicious game, oh yeah He said he wouldn't get led around, or caught up in the games Or end up in a gallery, of faces with no names And rock 'n' roll was in his soul, and music was a friend He recorded a song that made us sing along, and he was on the road again Isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame No one ever warned the boy Rock n' roll is a vicious game, oh oh, oh yeah, oh oh Stage fright, ooh, and long black limousines He's pushing himself a way too hard, or so it seems He opened up his heart to us, he gave us what he could We symphathized and harmonized, he made us all feel good But it's funny how those things can change, and time can pass us by Songs that moved us so easily, no longer make us cry Now isn't it a pity, isn't it a shame No one ever warned the boy Rock n' roll is a vicious game, oh oh, oh Oh yeah, oh, oh oh oh, oh, yeah, yeah yeah yeah My my my, rock 'n roll is a vicious game, yeah Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' roll, yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esau Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Never said I "wasn't" showing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Esau, Should be fun, I saw them at Lulu's in 1995, I miss that venue. After seeing Van Halen a couple of weeks ago, I'm still in the mood for some more Classic Rock. Besides I didn't get "Could Have Been A Lady" at that Lulu's show, I hope they play it tonight.

hamilton Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I'll be there, MarcO, hamilton? Are you going to go? Errrrmmmmmm... no. I'm still jamming that fork into my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted July 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 Hey hamilton, I hope your fork jamming went well last night. While you were doing that I saw a pretty good Canadian band that has been around since 1971. I think Myles Goodwyn is not only a underrated Canadian guitarist, but songwriter as well. I dragged my girlfriend to see the show, by the end of it she actually admitted to enjoying the show. She couldn't believe how many songs she actually knew! I guess we can all thank Cancon and the CRTC for that, but that's for another post. I also couldn't believe that their drummer Jerry Mercer is sixty-five years old! Boy for an old, relatively large man, can he still drum. The band was rounded out by Jim Clench on bass, who wrote "Oowatanite" and sang lead on that classic radio song and "Weeping Widow." Brian Greenway on guitar, who sang lead on "Drop Your Guns" and King Crimson's "21st Century Schizoid Man." Myles sang the rest of the songs mostly written by him, minus "You Could Have Been A Lady" by Hot Chocolate, "Bad Side Of The Moon" by Elton John and "Sign Of A Gypsy Queen" by Lorence Hud. There was also a new mamber Carl Dixon on guitar and keyboards. Here's the setlist from the show. Start time 8:57pm 1. The Band Has Just Begun ("Electric Jewels", 1974) 2. Don't Push Me Around ("Stand Back", 1975) 3. Drop Your Guns ("On Record", 1972) 4. Cum Hear The Band ("Stand Back", 1975) 5. Say Hello ("Harder...Faster", 1979) 6. Big City Girls ("Nature Of The Beast", 1981) 7. Weeping Widow ("Electric Jewels, 1974) 8. 21st Century Schizoid Man ("Harder...Faster", 1979)> Drum solo> 21st Century Schizoid Man 9. Just Between You And Me ("Nature Of The Beast", 1981) 10. Bad Side Of The Moon ("On Record", 1972) 11. This Is Who I Am, This Is What I Do ("Greatest Hits Live 2003", 2004) 12. Sign Of The Gypsy Queen ("Nature Of The Beast", 1981) 13. Could Have Been A Lady ("On Record", 1972) 14. Roller ("First Glance", 1978) Encore: 15. Tonight Is A Wonderful Time To Fall In Love ("Stand Back", 1975) 16. Oowatanite ("Stand Back", 1975) End time 10:32pm (Total time 1 hour and 35 minutes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 I'm sorry I missed this. I ended up at a BBQ at one of my best friend's place. I don't get a lot of time to spend with him, his wife, and his two kids, so I had to take the opportunity. I hope it was a great show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
