Good but their earlier stuff was the best. CTA and Chicago II are da bomb!

I had all their earlier albums.  I always thought Chicago V was the best, although II was a close second.

Not amusement.  But I am not a big fan of "gospel presentations" that use excessive props and skits rather than the plain proclamation and exposition of the word of God.

See that bolded word. That part means the definition has changed.

Actually, the puppet show would easily meet the definition of amusement.

Great song. Written by a TWELVE year old Greg Lake

I did write “Lucky Man” when I was 12. My mum bought me a guitar and I was very lucky in that sense, the answer was yes instead of no. There was the first bit of luck because had the answer been no, my life would have probably been totally different. I got the guitar and I learned the first four chords that were D, G, A Minor and E Minor and with those chords I wrote “Lucky Man”. I truly cannot remember everything about writing it other than I think it struck me as being a sort of minstrel type of event with these chords, G, D, E Minor and A Minor, gave me this sort of minstrel feeling. “Lucky Man” has kind of an almost medieval element tone to it. It is like a medieval folk song in a way. That was the essence of the idea. I wrote the song in its entirety and I finished it and I remembered it. As far as its significance regarding me and how lucky I was, I suppose it does really. You cannot disassociate the tune, the song has been very lucky for me. It came about because of a piece of good fortune, which was my mother giving me the guitar and it has been lucky for me ever since. I would say if I was going to be honest, I have been very lucky in life. I certainly have been.[6]
 
Shades of Bob Jones rearing up in McArthur methinks. 

I wonder if his friend Steve Camp has given up all the royalties to his CCM music, some of which was was pretty driving rock, especially the London import album.

....<regarding sinful associations and questionable practices of Christians>...Things that are sinful.  Ya know I think the same thing about music a lot.  Is there anything more demonic?  Is there anything more ungodly?  Is there anything more raw?  Is there anything more lustful?  Is there anything more drunken than a rock concert?  It's a horrible thing.  It's a HORRIBLE thing.  And they want to reproduce it in the church.  I don't know how true believers that came out of that background could experience all the same stuff and not have their conscience racked, because it is that that they have been delivered from.  I'm not talking about the style of music.  I'm talking about the whole created experience.

I would love to see them in concert.  They are excellent musicians.

I saw them in concert at a computer event.  I remember they were brought in by Microsoft.  I don't remember which event it was.  Maybe Comdex.  I was thinking it was the Windows 95 launch, but that doesn't make sense, since they chose the Rolling Stones song for the product.

Saw them back in '84 at an outdoor amphitheater in Austin, Texas.  Good show.
 
I believe I saw THE CULT  at the US festival in San Bernadino in 84'

Motley Crew was AWFUL. Many famous bands but I went to see Ozzy only

Stoners everywhere. Drunks.

We stayed but it wasn't worth it.
 
One of the best concerts I ever attended was Seatrain in Central Park (NYC).  That's because the Paul Winter Consort opened for them, and they were fantastic.  Seatrain, not so much.
