In some prior thread I'd said the first big gig I saw live was ELO but the openers were Meat Loaf
...at first i thought it was a "big" farce filler act, but soon I had my eyes glued to the piano player (ok, as well as the back up vox gal!)
...I later learned he had penned the compositions, he became an influence as all I wanted to do was learn to play that album intro and write some catchy tunes and ballads such as you'll find on the "LP" (Heaven Can Wait, Took the Words Right out of My Mouth, etc)
...I hadn't listened to it for decades until I stumbled on this clip form Classic Albums...I wish there was one of these for Sundown and ODR, etc, etc
the raw segment 25 seconds in is what I really enjoyed as it lead to the Who-ish, F Ab Eb hook, as well as some of the tidbits at the soundboard not to mention the last 10 seconds, pretty hilarious
I've never been a big e-guitar fan but as a teen I remember thinking, this is pretty captivating...thank goodness they kept the acoustic piano up in the mix
