Re: 'rage goes retro' 2 - FULL ARCHIVAL INFO on TWO of the ROCK ARENA episodes being screened

Yep, I tuned out on 1989 RA as well. Awful.

I am SO glad to have the Sylvian episode FINALLLLLLY !!!!!!!!!

And I did enjoy the 1983 episode as well as I loved the Dave Edmunds selections.

Interesting to see people's different points of view. Whilst I agree week 2 was a bit of a bummer I still got something out of it. The 3 H & C clips were good. Been years since I saw those. Also that Black Sorrows set was also cool. A much younger Vicka & Linda. I enjoyed watching that set.

Re: 'rage goes retro' 2 - FULL ARCHIVAL INFO on TWO of the ROCK ARENA episodes being screened

I was one of the only ones that got something out of rage goes retro 2. Whilst the first Rock Arena had clips many see on rage all the time, I love the Rock Arena format and I've always been a Rock Arena fan since the 80s.

And as for episode two, I certainly got A LOT out of it as I requested that episode. Certainly not for Hunters And Collectors as I only like their first two albums when they were Post Punk/New Wave. Me being a HUUUGE Japan and David Sylvian fan was my reason for requesting that episode and I am one happy boy to finally have the interview that Suzanne so very gracefully conducted with KING SYLVIAN!

It takes a certain sophisticated musical palate to appreciate Japan and Sylvian and I luckily have that sophisticated musical palet unlike most Australian bogans as I am European/Irish and English.

I fortunately tuned out and pressed stop on my DVD Recorder on the awful 1989 RA, I loathe Vika and Linda and The Black Sorrows. Jo Jo Zep was SO GREAT in the Falcons and was STUNNING solo and then came that travesty!

I got plenty out of it as well even though it was just the two RA's.
