Joe Jackson is one of those people I rarely listen to yet thoroughly enjoy when I do.

The glorious madness that is Roxy Music's Country Life.

Probably against forum rules to post the cover.

I knew it wasn't a fever dream: The Tube's The Completion Backward Principle



(Been searching for a cover with a pvc pipe on it for a long time - I thought it was by Air Supply at first - I knew I didn't dream it!)

November of 1974...earlier that year I had been teaching Latin and American History at a corrupt public high school - part of a corrupt school district west of Dayton.  ;D  $6000. per year!  I thought I was rich!

Yes, Hara Arena was where the action was for rock-and-roll bands!  It is interesting that the Wikipedia article says nothing about that!

One rock music fan remembers that specific Frank Zappa concert:

https://www.daytondailynews.com/events/concerts/concerts-hara-arena-won-forget/o6DOCH0iOypL04DIo88PQO/

An excerpt:

Quote

"...we asked Don Habil of Dayton, who has just about seen them all (i.e. rock concerts) through the years, about his memories. He spent years compiling his Hara Arena show memories and matching them with his saved ticket stubs. He remembered seeing his first Hara experience in the fall of 1970.

"The first show I ever went to was Grand Funk Railroad, with B.B. King as the opener," he said. "It was a weird crowd. Half the crowd was well-dressed black people and the other half 20-year-old dirty white punks."...

...Dayton was a great market for acts trying to build steam in the '70s, like Blue Oyster Cult, who seemed to have a residency there at one point. They could sell out the 5,500-seat venue while building a fan base and vying for air time on the radio on their way to larger venues in larger towns....


...Habil also remembers being a part of the unofficial Hara Arena attendance record in 1974 at a Frank Zappa show with Robin Trower opening.

"They never released how many people were at that show, because they would have been busted," he said. "All the aisles were full. You couldn't get up to go to the bathroom. It was estimated at 10,000
."


"Meet Miss Ruth Sherwood, from Columbus, Ohio, the Middle of the Universe!"

Still think this is Tool's best album: Lateralus

H/t to @Crudblud for reminding me of this mega-album, which I have not heard in too long.

1972 British jazz with classical overtones. Contains a delightful (IMO) rendition of Edward Lear's  The Dong With A Luminous Nose

Had to read that twice.

I'm still suspicious...😧
