For me it didn't work. The only saving grace for JT is the baseline. I'd rather be hung off the Tuttle bridge by my feet than have to listen to JT. Kitt, who can toss Anything For You on my strongly dislike list. Sent from My World > On Apr 6, 2016, at 7:50 PM, David Garcia wrote: > > I like its instrumentals.

The Children Of The World album is one of my favorites... I did not know that Boogie Child was released as a single though. Reached #12, cool!

It was so different from the recording. The band was smokin hot. That was probably one of the last time they deviated from their soon to be predictable boring one trick pony sets. They don't appear to value their pop wilderness period, but to me, they had some of their best sets. Even with Mo acting silly. At least they dared to do different things in their sets. I absolutely hated when they cut NOB down to a smidgen of a song.

Although, it's clearly a better song than "Boogie Child". I did usually like to hear "Jive Talkin" live, though. The "Here At Last" version is very good. Alot more energy and power than the record.

Yikes. >Kitt- There were moments during the ONO shows that made me cringe. The "Grease" number was one of them. I like Frankie Valli enough, but I didn't really need to hear his taped vocals (or the song for that matter). Also, didn't really give a sh-- that Olivia-New And forgive me, but even the Andy tribute with OLDTIAA may have come close to pushing the sentimentality meter. Same thing with "Immortality" and Celine Dion (didn't need to hear her either). Ah, I'm sorry. I'm in a cranky mood tonight. The ONO concerts had to be either a Barry idea or their management company with Barry agreeing to it. It wouldn't have surprised me if Robin, as well as Maurice never liked the idea of the ONO concerts. I've said it before, but I think ONO was when it was coming to the end.

Seen him live a few years back, once in Jersey and once in Fort Worth. But I still didn't want to hear Grease with the Gibbs singing it. I too could have done without Ms. Dion. I don't regret going but ONO was stale and flat. I've only stated this to a few people but I too could have done without the Andy tribute, and I'm not cranky tonight, just never cared for it. Well, that's not true. The first couple of times were fine. But I understood why they did it. If Barry tours for his new album I wonder will he continue his Andy tribute?=20 As far as your cranky mood, have a Snickers bar ;) Kitt- Sent from My World > On Apr 6, 2016, at 10:11 PM, Salvatore Compoccia via Words wrote: > > There were moments during the ONO shows that made me cringe.

I have seen the youtube versions and actually do not like that song live, unfortunately. It really needs the reverb on Robin's voice, if I can put it that way.
