@DemNuts Maybe your user name SHOULD be -
My buddy, the main songwriter in my first band, the guy who turned me on to Rush, Yes and the guy who I still owe big time for turning me on to Sgt. Pepper and A Night At The Opera while tripping my balls off on red window pane, was playing bass on an Ibanez Musician exactly like that when he taught me how to play No One At The Bridge, Hello Hooray and a shit ton of other great songs in what was the first time I really ever jammed in a band situation. Of course most of that shit he was playing wrong and by the time I started Dead Friend's Hat and we were playing in bars all over the county I had taught myself the correct way to play those songs. I learned the proper bass lines then learned the guitar parts correctly and taught them to my guitar player, who was phenomenal. He's now a schizophrenic and complete drug addict who I haven't talked to in 2 years, but when we were 14 the mother fucker was playing and properly executing Diary of a Madman. I'm not sure I could pull that off now without about 3 weeks of practicing it.
Man I love that shit. Heart of the Sunrise, South Side of the Sky, Perpetual Change.
You put the bag in douchebag
Oh boy.
A buddy of mine was in the navy and on leave in some port in Spain and a girl with an acoustic guitar came over to his table and played Mood For a Day. He copped it off her and taught it to me. That and Blackbird are my warm up songs when I feel like playing with my fingers.The 'brother from another mother' vibe here is getting kinda nuts.
I was hardcore Zep/Sabbath/Purple/Nugent/Trower, etc. rocking a black LP custom with gold hardware.
Girl I met knows I drop and hands me this greenish album with the trippiest inner sleeve I'd ever seen.
The instructions were clear. Drop, wait till you can really feel it coming on and then listen to the LP
with headphones on all the way through.
Almost overnight I sold the LP and got one of these (175 was just too thick). Started a long affair with Ibanez.
Mood for a Day was what I played for my dad (on classical) to prove that long haired music wasn't just all noise.
Jebus. Coming up on 50 years later and it's one of two songs I play every morning to get my brain and hands going.
Air in G by Handel is the other.
Saw Yes in the round from 3rd row and was making eye contact with Steve all night and flashing the #1 at him.
During the climax of his solo during the final encore Roundabout he jumped off the top tier at the center of the stage
and proceeded to land on his cord and unplug the guitar.
He recovered like a pro but shot me a quick glance with an oops look on his face. I flew home that night!
Oh yeah. Seen it several times.
I think they played a couple new songs that were very much in the old vein.That the one with the orchestra and Wakeman's son on keys?
Saw that here in San Diego outdoors on the Navy Pier.
Whole first side of CTTE started!! the show. They did the entire Gates as well as one side of Tales.
Mind blown once again.
The band was at the end of the nearest pier (no carrier docked at the time) facing the buildings.
Sun slowly set behind them and the Pacific as the show progressed.

Sooooooo glad I wasn't still tabbing by then. I may have never come down after that show.
Nailed it bro'.
Not up to your standards man. Tan pants and me have never even been in the same room together.
assless chaps I suspect at the gay strip bar?
@DemNuts Morning NumbNuts, you want to relive your Rush and Yes fantasies?That the one with the orchestra and Wakeman's son on keys?
