Yeah...but I did...heheh..and there's at least one in the collection...the one that has the track that begins something like..."as far as my eyes can see....blah blah blah.." can't remember the rest... |

Yeah Cecil used to play Old and Wise a lot in the early 80's.....Loved it so much I ended up buying The Greatest Hits of Alan Parsons for it....can't really comment on the rest of the collection...other than to say....don't waste your mullah!!! |

I knew it! :) When I discovered Napster in 2000 it was one of the first tracks I downloaded - sounded too evocative not to have been played at the Grove - Eye in the Sky was another of their's but I think Cecil favoured Old & Wise...

Good God - You're right. I went onto iTunes to preview
"Old and Wise". Absolutely was played during slow sets at least for a while while I went (1981-84). I didn't know it was Alan Parsons. It's a real smoochy

TMarie - I think Mel mentioned Cecil playing
"The Factory" by Springsteen. I can definitely remember him playing "The River" -- the opening strains of harmonica and it often was one of the first in a slow set. I'm not sure on the Alan Parsons track but I don't think your the first to mention it so it may well have been played. |

I remember being very careful to look busy and studiously engage in conversation during "17" - it was "not a good look" for a girl to be singing wistfully to "17" during the slow sets!! ;) Did Cecil play "Bright Lights and Promises" once or twice? And here's a bftp..."Old and Wise" - Alan Parsons Project - I'm convinced Cecil played that in early 80's - can anyone confirm? Has anyone mentioned "The River" yet? I'm not a huge Springsteen fan but I've never tired of hearing that song
