I never really went to any concerts that I wasn't in.

I have very eclectic taste in music, but when it comes to going to concerts, I like going to rock concerts.

Talking about the all night concerts, I did some of the first all night concerts back in the 60's with this little harmonium, and I also had saxophone taped delays.

When we did concerts, we wanted them to be theatrical events - collaborations with designers, choreographers, and directors - because we thought traditional rock concerts were boring.

Chi dirige I concerti?

For how many years I have directed concerts
of insight, ideal, of a sleep that kindly applies,
a white sun awakes in an even music concept,
shadow of myself to wonder on my soul's incise?

A memory stream, an odd decoy is convening,
invites a one-dimensional call of my destiny,
an allusion the falls cloudy drops ascending,
a forced stream simmers, my blood flows veiny.

A monody morning awakens the cypress trees,
my village that has no inhabitants to gather,
without smoke the hearths, of distant bliss,
the foliage dithers as my concerts tunes alter..

The Falcon

I RECOLLECT, that lately much I blamed,
The sort of lover, avaricious named;
And if in opposites we reason see,
The liberal in paradise should be.
The rule is just and, with the warmest zeal,
To prove the fact I to the CHURCH appeal.

IN Florence once there dwelled a gentle youth,
Who loved a certain beauteous belle with truth;
O'er all his actions she had full control;--
To please he would have sold his very soul.
If she amusements wished, he'd lavish gold,
Convinced in love or war you should be bold;
The cash ne'er spare:--invincible its pow'rs,
O'erturning walls or doors where'er it show'rs.
The precious ore can every thing o'ercome;
'Twill silence barking curs: make servants dumb;
And these can render eloquent at will:--
Excel e'en Tully in persuasive skill;
In short he'd leave no quarter unsubdued,
Unless therein the fair he could include.

SHE stood th' attack howe'er, and Frederick failed;
His force was vain whenever he assailed;
Without the least return his wealth he spent:
Lands, houses, manors of immense extent,
Were ev'ry now and then to auction brought;
To gratify his love was all he thought.

THE rank of 'squire till lately he had claimed;
Now scarcely was he even mister named;
Of wealth by Cupid's stratagems bereft,
A single farm was all the man had left;
Friends very few, and such as God alone,
Could tell if friendship they might not disown;
The best were led their pity to express;
'Twas all he got: it could not well be less;
To lend without security was wrong,
And former favours they'd forgotten long;
With all that Frederick could or say or do,
His liberal conduct soon was lost to view.

WITH Clytia he no longer was received,
Than while he was a man of wealth believed;
Balls, concerts, op'ras, tournaments, and plays,
Expensive dresses, all engaging ways,
Were used to captivate this lady fair,
While scarcely one around but in despair,
Wife, widow, maid, his fond affection sought;
To gain him, ev'ry wily art was brought;

Life is very different depending on whether you’re promoting, on tour, doing concerts, on holiday or preparing a new project. But yes, you have to be organized and disciplined at all times.

I wanted people to come see my concerts one day. So I set my sights on getting my music out there and getting a record deal.

Am Radio

The VCR and the DVD
There wasn't none of that crap
Back in 1970

We didn't know about
A world wide web

It was a whole different game being played
Back when I was a kid

You wanna get down
In a cool way?

Just picture yourself on a beautiful day

With the big bell bottoms
And groovy long hair
Justa walking in style
With a portable CD player

No
No...you would listen
To the music on
The AM radio

Yeah...you could hear the music
The AM radio

Flashback to '72
Another summer in the neighborhood
Hanging out with nothing to do

Sometimes
We'd go driving around
In my sister's Pinto
Cruisin' with the windows rolled down

We'd listen to the radio station
We were too damn poor
To buy the 8 track tapes

There wasn't any good time
To want to be inside
My mom would want to watch that TV all night

I'd be in bed with the radio on
I would listen to it all night long
Just to hear my favorite song

You'd have to wait

Banned In The U. S. A.

Government of the people
For the people
By the people
[news reporter]:
Earlier today in broward county,
Appalling courtjudges upheld the previousruling
To ban the sale of miami rap group the 2 live crews double-platinum album,
Nasty as they wanna be, in broward county.
[someone else commenting]
We think its the banning of free speech.
First amendment protects material, resultably.
Luke (being interviewed):
We dont talk about, uh, harrassing and sexually brutalizing women in my music, man!
We dont do that in my music, man! Im tired of you saying that!
Verse 1: [fresh kid ice]
Weve got white-collar people trying to grab our style
Saying were too nasty and were 2 live
Corrupted politicians playing games
Bringing us down to boost their fame
They must be joking thinking we will fall
But theyre like flies movin the wall
We stand tall from beginning to end
With the help from fans and all our friends
Freedom of speech will never die
For us to help, our ancestors died
Dont keep thinking that we will quit
Well always stand and never sit
Were 2 live, 2 black, 2 strong
Doing the right thing, and not the wrong
So listen up, yall, to what we say
We wont be banned in the u.s.a.!
Chorus: (3x)
Banned in the usa, I was
[reporter]:
Lukes concerts are for adults
[luke] (being interviewed):
If its an adult show you have to be 18
Our record is a year old, but with all the publicity,
Theres a lot of people ... curiosity is around!
Were selling records to a totally different audience.
I take a precaution that nobody else has not stickered my album, I made
Two versions, two versions two versions..
Verse 2: [brother marquis]
The first amendment gave us freedom of speech
So what you sayin? it didnt include me?
I like to party and have a good time
Theres nothin but pleasure written in our rhyme
I know you dont think well ever quit
Weve got some people on our side who wont take your lip
Were gonna do all the things we wanna do

Simple As That

(Chapin Hartford)
Out on highway 1, I saw a camper van parked out on the shoulder
Thinkin' they had broken down, I pulled over
There was a little old lady and her old man kickin' back relaxin'
They said "sit down and help us celebrate our golden anniversary"
They had foldin' chairs, they were holdin' hands starin' at the fields
I said "man this ain't no movie, this is real"
Love should be as simple as that
Foldin' chairs, holdin' hands and matching baseball caps
Love is wanting what you have
Love should be as simple as that
They said "stay awhile", I siad "I thought I might and ask some burnin' questions"
Like how'd you make love last so long, they started laughing
He said "to keep our love from danger, I treat her like a stranger"
Courteous, considerate and kind
Love should be as simple as that
Foldin' chairs, holdin' hands and matching baseball caps
Love is wanting what you have
Love should be as simple as that
So I went home and I said "baby, baby listen"
There's something missin' in our lives
She said " I know, I been tryin' to tell you"
We need more communication, an exotic vacation
Big screen tv, redwood jacuzzi
Dinners out, concerts and movies
New kitchen, big addition, a pool, jewelry
Sauna, fish pond and a five acre lawn
I said " get in the camper"
Love should be as simple as that
Foldin' chairs, holdin' hands and matching baseball caps
Love is wanting what you have
Love should be as simple as that
Love should be as simple as that
Love should be as simple as that

Crazy

(sang by dolores during selected 1996 concerts)
Crazy, i'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy,crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do i let myself worry?
(baaum bum bum bum)wond'ring what in the world did i do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And i'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And i'm crazy for loving you.

Drunken Hearted Boy

By the allman brothers band
From the fillmore concerts
Well, yes, people I am a poor, drunken hearted boy.
Well, yeah, people I am a poor, drunken hearted boy.
I have a whole ocean of trouble,
And just a little, half pint of joy.
I drink because Im worried, I dont drink because Im dry.
I know if I keep on drinkin, Im liable to drink away my life.
But thats alright.
Baby, bring me another half-a-pint,
Im trying to drown these blues, yes I am.
People if you had my trouble,
Baby, I know youd be drinkin too.
Alright.
Baby, bring me some old grandads 100 proof.
Dont play like that man, youll make me thirsty.
Oh, lord.
Baby, if I keep on drinkin, I know I cant last too long.
Woman, if I keep on drinkin, people ya know I cant last too long.
Thats alright, cause when Im dead and buried,
Please think about me when you hear this song.

Druscilla Penny

Druscilla penny, what a name!
Are you sure you didnt make it up yourself?
Youre very pretty, yes you are
Buth with all the junk you wear, its hard to tell
Man, you must work hard to get your hair to look like that
I dont need a horoscope to tell me where youre at
Your familys probably given up on you
Since you began to follow groups of long-haired rockn rollers
I can hear your mother crying for her daughter
Ah, ah, ah ....
Ah, ah, ah ....
Druscilla penny, what a girl!
Wheres the purpose to the crazy life you lead?
It doenst matter after all
Youre so sure instant love is all you need
Ive seen your face at least a thousand times
Youre always standing there behind the stages at the concerts
Waiting for an offer to be with someone after
Druscilla penny, hows your head?
Do you ever wake up lonely in the night?
It isnt easy for a girl when she cant decide
If love is wrong or right
I hope I live to see a change
Could you ever really love?
Ever really care?
Ever really get it together? no no

Starman

Didnt know what time it was and the lights were low
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin down some rock n roll lotta soul, he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That werent no dj, that was hazy cosmic jive
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us
But he thinks hed blow our minds
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hes told us not to blow it
Cause he knows its all worthwhile
He told me -
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone so I picked on you
Hey, thats far out so you heard him too!
Switch on the tv we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see the light
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
Dont tell your papa or hell get us locked up in fright
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us
But he thinks hed blow our minds
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hes told us not to blow it
Cause he knows its all worthwhile
He told me -
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
Starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us
But he thinks hed blow our minds
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hes told us not to blow it
Cause he knows its all worthwhile
He told me -
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la-la (repeat until end)
Culture club faithfully covered this david bowie hit (it reached no.10 in the uk and no.65 in the us in july 1972) on their 98 re-wind tour so well that it has become a fixture at culture club concerts, got a joint a-side single with cold shoulder and also features on the new album, dont mind if I do.

Cattle Call

Cattle Call
(sung by Elvis in concerts of the 1950s)
[In der mir vorliegenden Version summt er nur die Melodie.]
(Tex Owens)
The cattle are prowlin' and the coyotes are howlin'
Way out where the dogies bawl
Where spurs are a-jinglin' a cowboy is singin'
This lonesome cattle call
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo hoo
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo
He rides in the sun, till his days work is done
And he rounds up the cattle each fall
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo
Singin' his cattle call.
For hours he will ride on the range far and wide
When the night wind blows up a squall
His heart is a feather in all kinds of weather
He sings his cattle call
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo hoo
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo
He's brown as a berry from ridin' the prairie
And sings with an ol' western drawl
Woo-hoo woo-hoo hoo hoo
Singin' his cattle call

A live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd and on stage. It's my favorite part of the business, live concerts.
