Gabriel......Here's one of the best I think from the 80s..and also not Foreigner ;).... but with great meaning.. ;):glossy:

"In Your Eyes"love I get so lost, sometimesdays pass and this emptiness fills my heartwhen I want to run awayI drive off in my carbut whichever way I goI come back to the place you areall my instincts, they returnand the grand facade, so soon will burnwithout a noise, without my prideI reach out from the insidein your eyesthe light the heatin your eyesI am completein your eyesI see the doorway to a thousand churchesin your eyesthe resolution of all the fruitless searchesin your eyesI see the light and the heatin your eyesoh, I want to be that completeI want to touch the lightthe heat I see in your eyeslove, I don't like to see so much painso much wasted and this moment keeps slipping awayI get so tired of working so hard for our survivalI look to the time with you to keep me awake and aliveand all my instincts, they returnand the grand facade, so soon will burnwithout a noise, without my prideI reach out from the insidein your eyesthe light the heatin your eyesI am completein your eyesI see the doorway to a thousand churchesin your eyesthe resolution of all the fruitless searchesin your eyesI see the light and the heatin your eyesoh, I want to be that completeI want to touch the light,the heat I see in your eyesin your eyes in your eyesin your eyes in your eyesin your eyes in your eyes

How can I be sure when your intrusion's my illusion?How can I be sure when all the time you change my mind?I ask for more and more, how can I be sure?When you don't give me love, you give me pale shelterYou don't give me love, you give me cold handsAnd I can't operate on this failureWhen all I wanna be is completely in commandHow can I be sure for all you say you keep me waiting?How can I be sure when all you do is see me through?I ask for more and more, how can I be sureWhen you don't give me love, you give me pale shelterYou don't give me love, you give me cold handsAnd I can't operate on this failureWhen all I wanna be is completely in commandI've been here before, there is not why, no need to tryI thought you had it all, I'm calling you, I'm calling youI ask for more and more (ask for more and more)How can I be sure (how can I be)When you don't give me love, you give me pale shelterYou don't give me love, you give me cold handsAnd I can't operate on this failureWhen all I wanna be is completely in command (Completely in command)You don't give me love, you don't give me loveYou don't give me love, you don't give me loveYou don't give me love, you don't give me love

The Alan Parsons Project - PipelineNot exactly a song but I remember how much I loved this track in 1984 and I can see that I still like it 27 years later... It comes from the album by the APP called "Ammonia Avenue" (released on 7th Feb., 1984 - is it just a coincidence that I thought about this piece today?!)

I love Parsons stuff. Great find! I especially liked his work with Ambrosia...brilliant!Speaking of Phill Collins in the video above, I remember seeing him back in 85' twice in one week. He played Toronto on a Monday night and then Buffalo on Thursday. That was a great tour as he had the same drummer (in the video) with him as well as Phillip Baily and the entire horn section from Earth Wind and Fire on stage with him.WHAT A SHOW!!!I remember when they did "In the Air" Collins sat on the edge of the stage and sang softly for the first part, then leaped to his feet and ran to his drum set and the two drummers pounded out the crecendo part of the drum solo with two kits in unison. You had to be there......................Ah memories..............

Funny, that was my favorite Alan Parsons Project tune. I didn't know many people even knew of those works.I'm kinda jealous about the Phil Collins concerts. I'd love to have seen that. The best I can get are on YouTube and GTA: Vice City Stories.

Great story again Stinger. You've seen some great concerts. Hope Collins tours again. Also would like to see Gabriel, DireStraits (though don't know if they still tour), Springsteen and some others.

Speaking of Springsteen there SB, I have seen him six times now and I still say that of all performers of the modern era (and I have seen many) Springsteen puts on the best live show I have ever seen!His absolute best was the "River Tour" I saw him in Toronto at Maple Leaf Gardens and it was so packed that people were sitting in the stairs. I don't know where they came from, probably door crashers , but when he did his show he would tell stories between his songs of his life, and you could hear a pin drop in the place. 40 thousand plus and all ears were focused on him, but his stories were so intriguing that I thought he was actually talking to me and me alone! All I can say is wow!!!!He came on at 8pm on the bnose and played till 12:20am nonstop!My hero....What else is more important than saturday night, your best girl and your hotrod? The guy could write songs for the common man. Apoet for sure and who could forget "Blinded by the Light"? Intersting lyrics still to this day!As a fan I can say I got my monies worth........

And you said it very well!I have never seen the Boss live (only watched concerts on DVD) but that is on my bucket list for sure. I've heard the same thing, that he pours his heart out in these concerts, and they are long to give the audience their money's worth. :thumbsup:I think he is the best modern singer/songwriter out there, IMO. And The River is definitely one of his best.

Great story again Stinger. You've seen some great concerts. Hope Collins tours again. Also would like to see Gabriel' date=' DireStraits (though don't know if they still tour), Springsteen and some others.[/quote'] I have a million stories...here's another.Driving down the 401 in Toronto one night back in 85'about 5:30pm I heard on the radio that Gabriel was playing the gardens in 2 1/2 hours so I headed south on Younge St and went to the venue hoping to obscond a good skelped seat. I managed to get a gold seat for 80 bucks ten minutes before the show started from a skelper, sat in my seat and waited for the show to start.The house lights went out and the show began with the song "shake those hands" and spotlights were scanning the floor area furiously. Then all of a sudden the spotlights converged on a small figure walking through the crowd on the main floor shaking hands while he was singing the song. It was Peter Gabriel shaking everyones hand cruising through the audience as he slowly weaved his way to the stage!If you think about that today it would never happen, but the people respected him and there were no insane fans malling him or anything like that. I look back at that night as a rather special event indeed!Great concert for sure.
