other dog Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 It's generally agreed,MOST music from the eighties sucks! despite being born and raised in Jersey,we listened to a lot of country music,my dad was a product of the "honky tonk" era,so it was Webb Pierce,Hank Snow,Waylon Jennings etc. my grandad was a big fan of the "Chairman of the board" (Sinatra) so i was blessed with a pretty ecclectic taste in music! does'nt get any better then hearing Springsteen do "Jersey Girl" live,seen the guy like 10 times now!.............................MarkI've seen ZZ Top 3 or 4 times, Eagles twice (in the '70's), Pink Floyd once. "Passing Zone Blues" is my favorite trucking song- "I was in the left lane...scraping gears". "If you'll just let me go i'll crank this smokin' Mack...go on home...i'll stay behind...won't try to pass..."And Susanna Hoffs might be the hottest singer ever-naw, she is the hottest singer ever.

Like Susanna Hoffs too! seen her lately? she STILL looks good!.............................Mark 1 Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

Greg Rider Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 i dont know where they got the trailer though.Rumor had it that the trailer was an old East unit that had been rolled over. Guys talked about it around the shop. They cut out the floor and put cross bracing in to keep the walls inline. If you watch the cliff scene real slow and look you'll notice the missing floor and about 5 sets of cross bracing. East calls it bisecting.

They were at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh,N.C. in the early '90's. I must give them a plug, it was by far the greatest concert I have ever seen. Absolutely awesome experience! I didn't see David, but he might well have been there,i'm not sure.Get the "Pulse" video, that was the same tour, I highly reccomend it. They played "Dark Side of the Moon" in it's entirety, just like on the album.Here's a sample- When the giant inflatable pigs came out during "One of These Days" I was shocked and awed.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqKkNezFG-g Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
