Routine The routine features a man recounting the day he took his revenge on his enemy – and becoming so engrossed in his own tale that he attacks the innocent listener to whom he is speaking. The attacker comes to his senses, only to go berserk again when the listener says something that triggers the old memory again.

Niagara Falls (Phish Album)
''Niagara Falls'' is a three-CD live album by the rock band Phish. It contains the complete concert recorded on December 7, 1995, at the Niagara Falls Convention Center in Niagara Falls, New York. It was released by JEMP Records on November 12, 2013. Critical reception On AllMusic, Thom Jurek said, "Given Phish's musical renaissance after their reunion in 2008, revisiting the band's past is often useful for the purpose of hearing just what made them such a dominant force on the early jam band scene in the first place. This date, recorded at the Niagara Falls Convention Center in December of 1995, is a prime example.... The sound captured is simply pristine; the show is top flight.... It's not just Phish's tight command of the material that's so remarkable, but the improvisational interplay that takes place inside an intricate, often knotty set of musical parameters. As evidenced by ''Niagara Falls'', playing and performing like this set the band apart in the early years — be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Niagara Falls (Greg Hawkes Album)
''Niagara Falls'' is the first solo album released by Greg Hawkes, best known as an original member of the Cars. It was released in 1983 by Passport Records. Hawkes plays all instruments (with one exception—see below), with programmed drums and multiple layers of keyboard parts, as well as rhythm guitar. It was recorded at Syncro Sound, then The Cars's private recording studio. Tuneful and not overly experimental, it sounds (despite the instrumental nature of the material) very much like the ''Shake It Up'' era of The Cars. "Jet Lag" and "Voyage Into Space" are the only tunes to feature lyrics: ''"Jet lag / It's a real drag"'' and ''"Voyage into space / Check out some other place"''—sometimes processed through a vocoder. "Voyage Into Space" also features the artist's wife, Elaine Hawkes, on flute. Hawkes would not release another solo album for 25 years. His second solo album, though also instrumental, was very different in sound than this, his first: ''The Beatles Uk ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
