:up: I was a sophmore engineering student at university that winter when the War album dropped and saw U2 perform it live at a small college in upstate NY that spring with my bandmates (yeah, I was a fairly poor bass player in a faux-punk funk/reggae band that played fraternity parties for beer and drugs :yum:) and our girlfriends. Great show, glad I saw them fairy up-close with about 2,000 fans – just before they blew up into "the.biggest band in the world" (as The Police finished their Synchronicity final tour that summer) and peaked a few years later with Joshua Tree. :cool:

'Faux-punk funk' - What is that? What did you play?
Not 'Ole Blue Eyes', anyway :wink:

Frank Sinatra Live at the Sands. Where or When

:smirk: I gave up playing music fairly soon because of jazz (à la Sinatra et al) knowing I'd never be that good. My college buddies and I mostly played songs by The Clash, Simply Red, UB40, The Police, Bob Marley, David Bowie, The Talking Heads and ... I can't remember who else ... always danceable party tunes, usually too fast and out of tune ... I was the "weak link", of course, but it was great fun for a few semesters. :sweat:

(But at least one of our band "made it" in music as a journalist for Rolling Stone, Spin & The Village Voice – Jem Aswad.)

Thanks to @unenlightened:

Sandy Denny was better than Joan Baez better even than Joni Mitchell at expressing the emotional intensity of a lyric. You need more...

I read her story on wiki. Such a sad and early death. Tributes include:

One of the most moving and beautiful voices this country has ever produced': Bob Stanley's short biography of an unsung hero of British folk music — Sounds of the 60s - Sandy Denny

Who Knows Where The Time Goes - Sandy Denny, composer, lyricist, singer.


Judy Collins sings and pays tribute to Sandy Denny andher late '60's classic,"Who Knows Where The Time Goes?" in a 2002 concert at the Wolftrap Farm amphitheater in Vienna, Virginia.

Beautiful. Harvest Moon. Perfect. In every way.
