HUGE Rush fan. Glad to see somebody else besides me who listens to Rush after Power Windows🤘Saw Rush on the Presto tour '86 and wow, the second half of the concert was the first half of 2112.

Both RIP: Ozzy and Dio both brought to Black Sabbath their own genius ways. 

Saw Dio twice, this dude was the real deal.

How Black Sabbath clicked; it happened here:

I heard this on the radio today. Must have heard it "in real time" (in the '70s), but it didn't register then.

Today I was stunned by the free jazz-like piano.

Looked up Mike Garson on wiki, and of course the solos are well-known 🤣:

Garson provided the piano and keyboard backing on the later Ziggy Stardust tour of 1972–73 and his contribution to the song "Aladdin Sane" (1973) gave the song an avant-garde jazz feel with lengthy and sometimes atonal piano solos.

'I had told Bowie about the avant garde thing. When I was recording the "Aladdin Sane" track for Bowie, it was just two chords, an A and a G chord, and the band was playing very simple English rock and roll. And Bowie said: 'play a solo on this.' I had just met him, so I played a blues solo, but then he said: 'No, that's not what I want.' And then I played a Latin solo. Again, Bowie said: 'No no, that's not what I want.' He then continued: 'You told me you play that avant garde music. Play that stuff!' And I said: 'Are you sure? 'Cause you might not be working anymore!'. So I did the solo that everybody knows today, in one take. And to this day, I still receive emails about it. Every day. I always tell people that Bowie is the best producer I ever met, because he lets me do my thing.'
