KAYAK - Eyewitness



Recorded live but without an audience whose applause they apparently patched in later for the LP but not the CD. I dunno - anyway - the version I listened to doesn't have any audience sounds on it.

It's a selection of songs from various albums and seems to flow ok. Some of them sound a bit dated - in fact it reminded me a lot of John Miles' Rebel in places - which I'll probably always like but which I expect might not have aged very well either! Will have to listen to that now. Less progressive on the whole - not bad listening - some standouts here and there, one of which is this, originally from their Phantom of the Night - the single from the album which otherwise doesn't seem to have fared too well ... 




And another I enjoyed - "Irene" - an instrumental track - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7BKKpkLpGQ

Ooooh I like this remastered version - reminds me of a lady I knew long, long ago. https://youtu.be/kLS33TSzDag

One of Elton & Bernie's many masterpieces - a tribute to Edith Piaf - lovely piece. https://youtu.be/X7jLo85EMfg

Listened to John Miles' Rebel - amazing voice, album engineered by Alan Parsons. May have listened to "Music" one too many times in the past, but after not having heard it for a while, it's clear why it was so popular at the time - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAsvjVx-Mg4

Now it's on to Pyramid  - APP - one of my favourite albums of all time. The cover art seems apt at this time! 



The first three tracks .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI8NDA_-zOo

I knew a lady many moons ago whose sister did up an alcove of her open plan living room in an Egyptian-themed sort of style. Anyway, I gave her APP's 'Pyramid' as a birthday present. Never did find out whether she ever listened to it or not. She probably thought I was nuts. Fantastic album.

^Yes it is. First album I ever bought - for a whole ZAR5.00 lol! 

Running on Empty - great album. Not a wonderful clip in terms of quality but nice to see anyway ...

Yes – saw your post – I just put off listening, unaccountably. Sorry . Took the time today – it’s vintage Jackson Browne alright. Quite contemplative - no four minute moves for him! Thank goodness his voice is still there. He’s in recovery from Covid-19 I see .

The album is due out on October 9th.

I didn't find much wisdom
When time was on my side
Too little information
Too much time to decide
I took a couple of wrong turns
It only takes you one
To send you down a lifetime
Of wonderin' what you might've done
