I'm preparing the UFO Discography And Listening Party Thread. UFO did a couple of tours with Rush in 1977 and 1978.


I love this picture!




Geddy Lee and Pete Way.




Alex Lifeson and Michael Schenker

would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

In the most recent Fish on Friday episode Fish shows off his promo autographed copy of Power Windows.   He said he forgot he had it. The band gave it to him after their leg of the tour.  I'm going to be sad when he stops these. I'm hooked.

So glad I got to see Marillion open for Rush on the Power Windows tour and playing Misplaced Childhood in full as the opener.

It's funny that Rush's most infamous tour mates, KISS and UFO, were so rock and roll extreme.



Alex Lifeson tells the story that one night while they were on tour with UFO, the UFO guys all brought their bathrobes and slippers from their hotel, and stood together off stage mocking Rush and their stage robes.  :lol

What’s truly funny is that, in a few more years, Fish is going to start to resemble Fish.

Can you imagine a Scottish version of Fish?  :rollin

Ok...would someone please explain what the Fish referenece was about?

Unfortunately, this Fish is sleeping.....

There's a meta-reference in play here as well.  Abe Vigoda played Det. Fish, and he was also Sal Tessio in The Godfather.  The expression "sleeping with the fishes" was popularlized by that movie.  It's an old Sicilian message you send to someone whose employee, colleague, etc., you've just knocked off.  They're now sleeping with the fishes.  Abe Vigoda, Fish, passed away in 2016.

I just saw that the making of Snakes and Arrows documentary is on YouTube. I don’t know why I never saw it. I’ve had this album since the release day and it’s never really impressed me as much as most of their work. But, I will say after watching this, I’ve gained a new respect for this album. It’s like listening to it with new ears.

I went back and forth with this album. Loved it when it came out, then thought it was kind of flat, and re-learned to appreciate it. and yeah, that documentary is great. I love the part where Nick challenges Neil to improve a fill, and when he nails it, Geddy gets all excited and goes "he's killing it, man!!!"

No, YtseRush is speaking of Fish, the former member of Marillion. But what Jammindude said is that soon Fish (ex-Marillion) is gonna start to resemble Fish (from Barney Miller). Then he asked "Can you imagine a Scottish version of Fish?" referring to whether you could imagine Fish (ex-Marillion) being a Scottish version of Fish (from Barney Miller). Make sense now?   :biggrin:
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Never going to forget those memories.

About to dig into today's installment. Rothery apparently started his stream today too and scheduled it right after Fish's  I'm not catching it live but it should be a fun next couple of hours.

 I almost bought tickets to see them back around 1990 thinking that Fish was touring the US. I thought Ticketbastard had the spelling wrong, but I didn't want to take the chance anyway since there was no immediate indication of a US Tour at that time. Too add insult to injury,  "An Emotional Fish" was touring then too.

Cashier was no help at all. Totally clueless. Tickbastard wasn't offering refunds even back then so I decided it wasn't wasn't worth the risk until I knew more.

Sucks that he's only been in the US for a tour three times since he left Marillion.
