Thanks Bob! That was a very well executed introduction to Roger's solo career. And such a nice balance between in-depth info & observations (for us who already know his stuff) , and, on the other hand, introducing his material to someone who may have never heard anything from him. As someone who has all his solo albums, I would have wanted even more of that ”bollocks” (digging into lyrical content and analysing the songs musically). So maybe sequel, for us die-hard fans??
Also, a nice selection of songs. I can imagine how hard it was to make it all fit into a one hour programme. The only complaint I have is the usage of the single version of Pressure On (I understand the time constraints, but still..). The album cut is one of my all time favourites from Rog, but the single edit is just a nightmare. By cutting a bar here and another one there, the single edit rushes through the song, losing all the tension (sense of Pressure?) in the process. I just hate that version, and never wanna hear it!
Talking about single versions, was that the single edit of I Cry For You, that you played`? Or did you just edited the album version down by yourself? I remember hearing the single version many years ago, and preferring it to the album cut. And the version you played, sounded great to me! I really have to dig up that single edit, and give it a listen, as I seem to recall, it's a different mix altogether...
Anyway, that was my two cents. Thanks for the show!
