That´s true dear Art! Really amazing to think about this fact. The probabilities are so low... but it happened!!
Had my UN FO at the GnR concert last week...
Don't think any official concert recording has been released yet....
One of my favs...Coma
I've run into Axel a few times and Slash several . . .
. . . at The Rainbow Bar and Grill back in late '80s and early '90s. Saw Guns 'n Roses perform thrice, opening for the Stones in '89.
Thank our lucky stars for YouTube - we can re-live our experiences as no other generation before.

I was at The Rainbow last night with a few of my pals . . .
. . . reminiscing over old times. Been hanging out there for thirty nine years . . . loads of memories, not to mention incidents.
😉
3 hours of exhilarating performance.
I had expected about 2-2.5 hours tops. Despite the intensity, there wasnt any unnecessary breaks…I think Slash had 7-8 guitars used for the night.
Watching The Wheels....
Music always, in ALL WAYS inspires.
A special song can bring back memories from sadness to tears of joy... and laughter. Dare we include that music can suddenly remind you of the past decades... enjoying horology. Over the decades there have indeed been very special moments. With that said...
Please start playing the music video... then begin reading the lyrics.
People say I'm crazy
Doing what I'm doing
Well, they give me all kinds of warnings
To save me from ruin
When I say that I'm okay, well they look at me kinda strange
"Surely, you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"
People say I'm lazy
Dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice
Designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time boy, you're no longer on the ball?"
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
Ah, people asking questions
Lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem
Only solutions
Well, they shake their heads and they look at me, as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry,
I'm just sitting here DOING time.
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go...
Brilliant, Steve. Thanks a mil . . .
. . . for the inspired slide show.
He was a songwriter . . .
. . . and a half, that's for sure. Played most Wednesdays on the jukebox . . .
. . . at my weekly pool tournament.

Great song by a great artist.
Come Together, Ballad of John and Yoko, Jealous Guy, Love, and of course, that anthem Imagine. What a thinker!
This one is hot ! …
Harry Nilsson -1972- Jump into the Fire …. enjoy

It’s a powerful track …
How I've missed this track of Nilsson's all these years . . .
. . . is a mystery. That's a jam session and a half, Cap . . . wow!
Easy on the watch, tougher on the music…
Easy to explain the watch bit, as I have only been wearing the one this weekend 😊 With the first dusting of snow this season.
As for the songs, so many that have at different points in time qualified. ‘Long, Long, Long’ by the Beatles, then ‘The Partisan’ by Leonard Cohen, ‘Brothers in Arms’ from Dire Straits, ‘The Youth of Today’ by Amy Macdonald, or a recent discovery, ‘Iron’ by Woodkid. Hundreds missing I guess 😁🤷🏻♂️
Mark Knopfler might be better known for his prowess on guitar, but . . .
. . . he was some kind of songwriter, too.
Thanks for sharing, K.
