music trivia

MG's guesses are all right and so are most of excearulo's. I dunno if there is a band called the grand illusion, but it's not one of the answers I was looking for. it's a possible clue to the answer I did want, tho.... these are the ones that are left:

5. chuck and john panozzo
8. eddie and alex van halen

quick question inspired by one of the postsers here: what live album opens with the words, "bon soir, montreal!"? (possibly after an opening instrumental interlude, not sure.... been awhile since I heard it.)

 

[montrealgirl]

Interesting question...I'm embarassed to say that I don't know... *hopes that it is from one of your "classic rock" albums so then I can be excused*

 

[excearulo]

Was it Bowie?

yeah it is, sorry to say. I think this band was even tagged with the "corporate rock" label along with bands like foreigner.... not sure what that meant other than they sold a shit load of records

and I also guess that means no, it's not bowie. at least he's not what I'm looking for.... I never considered the fact that there might have been other live albums recorded in montreal.

did I spell bon soir right? I was guessing....

Oui...your spelling is fine...hopefully someone else can take a guess at this...

it was the album "captured" by journey. from an earlier post in the thread, still looking for the bands that these brothers are or once were in together:

5. chuck and john panozzo
8. eddie and alex van halen

*another one of my favorite live album intros: "from the streets of toronto to the streets of london. now here he is to kick your ass, pat travers!"
