RE: 1987 - Welcome to London! For x-daysofmusic
The french one sounds familiar, but not sure I've heard it in the last 30 years. still like P&C of HH. I think it has some of Clapton's best playing on it, but what do I know? ;) I hadn't seen the KAOS video before.
Thanks for the interesting selections, and for making me laugh.
I think Touch of Grey may have been the first I really heard of The Dead, but I just never got into them. You obviously did in a big way.
You're right about Clapton on P&CoHH - the intro to the song of that name is brilliant - especially considering what he was releasing under his own name in those days. Pros & Cons is just not as good as 'Radio KAOS' or 'Amused to Death'. I tend to think of 'Final Cut' as a Waters solo album as well, even though it's Floyd. The latest album is a bit weak, though.
The less said about 'Ca Ira' the better.
My main point about '87 is that it was one of the years I got to change myself. Happened again in the early 90s, when I left the UK for Hong Kong. In '87 it was about being independent; there's still something about that bed-sit year that I look back on with nostaligia.
