Should be a good tilt tomorrow between the Gunners and the boys from Anfield.

My ManU guys put on a decent performance today, but the goal-less draw was not what they deserved for their efforts. A couple of key saves from Krul, a couple of poor officiating calls, and a couple of selfish decisions from Memphis ... but otherwise they dominated the game.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer    "Karn Evil 9 - 3rd Impression"    California Jam, 1974

The now famous Cal-Jam attracted about 250,000 fans, and was touted at that time to have the most powerful amplification system ever set up. ELP were the final act in a showcase featuring Deep Purple, The Eagles, Black Sabbath ... among others. The KE9 Trilogy was based on the familiar sci-fi theme of computers usurping humans, summed by Lake's final dialogue with the AI:

LAKE: "But I gave you life!"
KE9: "What else could you do?"
LAKE: "To do what is right!"
KE9: "I'm perfect ... are you?"

Of particular note is that Greg Lake is singing, playing bass, and chewing gum at the same time ... well coordinated!

I agree with Bill, Graham ... especially in light of the fact that your group hasn't played together much. I doubt one of those DigiTech Trio's could be any tighter ... nice piece, nicely played.

LOLOL ... "That's they way it was, and we liked it!" Thanks for a good laugh, Bill.

That's a nice job on that song, and you'v e got a terrific voice also ... cool!

For some reason, a number of municipalities in our Province have been lobbied by residents to either restrict or forbid busking in the form of street musicians. While I would agree that public performance on public streets should be in good taste. I can't imagine how anyone could not enjoy a leisurely stroll, with quality music like KajiMa's sweetening the air. If they're against buskers "passing 'round the hat", then they just don't need to dig into their pockets ... no one's forcing them to.

Long live busking!

LOL ... You gotta shirt? Reminds me of this old Monty Python sketch, about 4 Yorkshiremen trying to outdo one another, about how poor they were growing up.

Awesome ... TIG is a foot-baller!

TIG ... you and my brother would get along famously (also a Mersey-sider) but I probably couldn't stand being the same room with you both! LOLOL Nice to see both of our teams start the season with 6-points each.

I was also a keeper, but not very good at it. I never had a well-developed instinct for knowing when / when not to come off my line to challenge a shooter, and was often exploited because of it. It was just High School level, and that's as far as I went as a player.

Bill ... your guys have already qualified for the Group Stage, which ManU will have to seal with a victory or tie at Brugge. Once we get to the 32-team Group Stage, the fun really begins. I was delighted to see Schweinsteiger come to ManU this summer, to strengthen the midfield from a tactical viewpoint. That must have been quite a shock for you, to learn in that way that the term "football" could be used of two completely different games.

The historical significance of this concert and its location is worth mentioning. The Gdansk Shipyard - formerly called the Lenin Shipyard - was the site where the Polish Solidarity Trade Union (Solidarnosc) was formed, in September 1980. It was the first trade union in a Warsaw Pact country, that was not controlled by the communist party, and it was first headed by Lech Walesa. Walesa, an electrician by trade, later became the President of Poland in 1990.

This famous historical site was the only location where Gilmour's song "A Great Day for Freedom" (Division Bell album) was fittingly played on this tour, and its powerful message was not lost on the audience of 50,000 attendees.

Herr Rudi Voeller was one of the greats, for sure, although I can't make out the lyrics. Mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut, und Ich habe alles vergessen ... schade. I took German in university, and could carry a conversation at one time; but without practice, it's now gone. I consider Bayern Munich's Frank Ribery to be one of the best attacking midfielders in the game. Here's their team crest:

Under Van Gaal, ManU made it back into Champions League status for this season, so I'm sure we'll see a good tilt between BM & ManU sometime this year. I'm sure some of our Chordians from the UK will join this thread, and I for one am looking forward to their insights.

You're right about EasyBeat ... and the rest of the group here, Bill.

I submitted a poem a while back, which seemed to "dangle" at the end. EB challenged me to write one more verse, about how what was described made me feel ... great advice, so I did.

Happy New pedal Day, Phill ... Digitech make great quality gear, and it's more user-friendly than most.
