I enjoyed reading at least 2 pages of this topic. Just bought the 4-disc set from Amazon and it did bring back a lot of memories from the '70s and also of seeing him live at the SF Opera House (I think it was). Favorite song is Seven Island Suite because it is complex and long, and also mysterious as far as the lyrics in parts. Also feel strongly about Carefree Highway because it captured so well the feeling of running away, and the music fit the words so well. The first one I ever heard was If You Could Read My Mind and I was blown away by the story it told - the vulnerability from a man. I would like to see him in Houston if he's still touring...
