Adult Education - DARYL HALL / JOHN OATES

Hall & Oates are an American pop rock duo formed in 1970 in Philadelphia. Daryl Hall is generally the lead vocalist; John Oates primarily plays electric guitar and provides backing vocals. The two write most of the songs they perform, separately or in collaboration. 

"Adult Education" is a song by American duo Daryl Hall & John Oates, released as a single in February 1984 and debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 on February 18. The song is featured on the duo's second compilation album Rock 'n Soul Part 1 (1983). It was one of two new tracks that were recorded specifically for the compilation release and hit Number 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

The song centers on the plight of a teenage girl in high school. Her girlfriends only "care about what she wears" and the narrator assures her "there's life after high school." The lyrics suggest she is wiser than her years and, in fact, is receiving an education to the behavior of adults in high school.

Hall criticized the music video in the book I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution. "Videos began to attract wannabe Cecil B. DeMilles, directors who had almost unlimited budgets and did whatever they felt like. 'Adult Education' is a perfect example. 

We brought in a director I didn't know (Tim Pope) who was newly hot. He didn't have a clue what to do with the song. The plot? I couldn't tell you." On VH1's Behind the Music retrospective of Hall & Oates' career, Oates also derided many of their old videos, describing this clip as "Survivor on acid".

Throwing It All Away - GENESIS

Genesis is an English rock band formed at Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey, in 1967. The band's most commercially successful line-up consists of keyboardist Tony Banks, bassist/guitarist Mike Rutherford and drummer / singer Phil Collins. The 1970s line-up featuring singer Peter Gabriel and guitarist Steve Hackett was among the pioneers of progressive rock.

Phil Collins left Genesis in 1996, and Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford replaced him with Ray Wilson, who appeared on their final album Calling All Stations (1997). The commercial failure of the album led to a group hiatus. Banks, Rutherford and Collins reunited for the Turn It On Again Tour in 2007, and then again in the coming 2021 for The Last Domino? Tour.

"Throwing It All Away" is the seventh track on the 1986 album Invisible Touch by Genesis. It was the second single from the album in 1986, reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 22 in Britain, where it was released as the last single of the album in 1987. In the U.S., it also went to No. 1 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart in October 1986 and the Album Rock Tracks chart in August 1986.

The song is a soft rock ballad structured around a guitar riff by Mike Rutherford, who also wrote the lyrics. The U.S. single included an edited version of the instrumental "Do the Neurotic" as the B-side; the UK edition featured the track "I'd Rather Be You".

A music video for the song was composed of soundcheck footage and shots of the band travelling while on their Invisible Touch Tour of North America, much of which was filmed by Collins on his 1985 Sony Handycam, mostly filmed in Toronto (Exhibition Stadium) and Detroit (Joe Louis Arena). It is featured on their DVD The Video Show.

URGENT - FOREIGNER

Urgent - FOREIGNER

Foreigner went into the Manhattan studio with producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, best known at the time as producer for hard rock band AC/DC. Foreigner's sound wasn't quite as heavy, and the band worked with then-unknown Thomas Dolby to program and play synthesizer. Dolby's work can be heard on "Urgent", along with a saxophone solo by Motown artist Junior Walker.

Lange was a perfectionist with Dolby, making him play some of the simple notes over and over until they were perfect. On the other hand, Lange used Junior Walker's first take, appreciating its raw, rough edges. Lange was a fan of Dolby's earlier work, and Dolby had a demo of a song called "Urges" where he sang "urges, urges...". Lange asked Dolby for permission to incorporate this into a Foreigner song, which was then turned into the lyric "Urgent, urgent...". Dolby was a little surprised when he heard the finished song, but later felt glad to have positively influenced the track.

This magnificent concert was recorded at KKL Lucerne, Switzerland on May 20th and 21st 2017 and thus became the very first Foreigner album, recorded with the orchestral and choral harmonic arrangements of the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus.

The chorus of Williams's song was used in the bridge, and Williams wrote new words and melody for the verses as well.

This awesome performance is from the spectacular live concert of Toto celebrating their 35th Anniversary at the Atlas Arena in Lodz, Poland during their 2013 World Tour.

Can't Find My way Home - STEVE WINWOOD

"Can't Find My Way Home" is a song written by Steve Winwood that was first released by Blind Faith on their 1969 album Blind Faith. Rolling Stone, in a review of the album, noted that the song featured "Ginger Baker's highly innovative percussion" and had judged the lyric "And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home" to be "delightful".

Eric Clapton played acoustic guitar on this song, which was highly unusual for him. As a member of CREAM, Clapton was famous for his lengthy and complex guitar solos, from which he obviously wanted to take a break. Many fans consider his subtle guitar performance on “Can’t Find My Way Home” as one of the best of his career.

Safe (In The Heat Of The Moment) - DURAN DURAN

Bassist John Taylor told the story of this song in a blog on Duran Duran's website: "It began life as a bassline and loop brought in by Mark Ronson, producer, in which he referenced NY post-punk bands ESG and Liquid-Liquid. Fantastic fun to play.

At first, Simon's vocal ideas were deemed too Happy Mondays-ish. The groove sat around for months, in my iTunes, called simply 'New York Minute'.  Simon had to go back to the drawing board on this one several times until he came up with the concept of 'Safe (in the heat of the moment)'.  But once he sang the basis of 'Safe', we all jumped on it, hungry as we were to have the energy that this song has in spades on the album."

Double Vision (Live Performance) - FOREIGNER

"Double Vision" is a single by Foreigner from their second album of the same name. The song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for two weeks in 1978, behind "MacArthur Park" by Donna Summer. It became a gold record. The song was also a top 10 hit in Canada.

The song has been a staple of the band's setlist since its release. Over recent years, Lou Gramm and Foreigner (now fronted by Kelly Hansen) have both used the song as their show opener.

Billboard felt that "Double Vision" was a stronger single than the previous release "Hot Blooded" due to its "driving but less monotonous hard rock rhythm" and "more infectious melody." Cash Box said it has "slashing guitars and a mean, ticking beat" that gives way "to an appealing, lighter chorus which is underlined by gently swirling keyboard work" and likewise praised the suave vocal performance.

This magnificent concert was recorded at KKL Lucerne, Switzerland on May 20th and 21st 2017 and thus became the very first Foreigner album, recorded with the orchestral and choral harmonic arrangements of the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra & Chorus.
