"Light up"

Postby BRETT5150 » Mon Nov 05, 2012 10:52 am

Just wondering was this ever the intro song on a tour. it has an amazing start, and very heavy. i'm not a fan of the song on a whole, but the start is one of the best ever.

During that tour Born For Adventure was the opener. Light Up was played later in the set.

Out on a Day Pass doesn't deserve the plastic it was burned to.

i am a huge JY fan and have always been but i will never forget the day I bought "out on a day pass" and was all fired up and popped into the player and was truly beside myself at how god-awful that album was......it truly was terrible......and like i said I'm massively pro JY.....but the truth is what it is.

TRULY AWEFUL album, but 'Young Man' was awesome when Styx did it in the early 70's and was equally as good on Day Pass.

Maybe Day Pass it was JY's tribute to Tommy's 'What If' album. It barely eckeed out being a worser( is that a word??) album than What If was.

Ah, but Tommy's excuse for What If are the influences he was under at the time...what's JY's excuse?

And Tommy did bounce back with the amazing 7DZ...and, even though bluegrass isn't my cup o' Joe, The Great Divide is really good, too.

Don't forget about ambition. Killer album. Agree about tgd though at first I had to take a
step back and really let it sink in. I just couldn't believe it was the same guy that wrote
blue collar man.

I feel the same way about OOADP, I only played that CD once! Young Man was good. As far as WI, it was disappointing effort from TS. I did play that album more then OOADP though. There are some decent songs on there and some that are just awful.

Not having someone like TS or DDY around to act as a filter and collaborate with.

Ambition was a great album. He and Terry Thomas gelled well on that album.

Yes, but don't forget Tommy's first musical influences were gospel, bluegrass, and country. I think writing BCM and bluegrass--and well--just shows how very versatile he is.

I get that but it was just a shock to the system at first. I've actually grown to like a couple songs on TGD. Never thought I would say that.
