HW: Live 79 (An invitation to a 1 minute hate)

[John Majka]

Wow...people have widely varying opinions about "Live 79" apparently!  I
have always HATED "Lighthouse" and thought it was execrable crap, nor did I
care for Tim Blake's extremely overrated synth playing.  I'm so glad he
left the band in a timely manner!  However, having said that, I think that
"Live 79" is a fine album, as the rest of the members more than make up for
Tim's ummm.....cheesy playing style.  I particularly like the version of
"Motorway City" on this album; the flanger on Brock's guitar at the
beginning of the track is great!  And I also find Huw's lead stuff on
"Spirit of the Age" really inspired.
