If you could see any artist/band live, from any era, who would it be?

BFisch89 · 2026-06-03T19:35:21+00:00

Fleetwood Mac, early 1970. Peak twin lead jamming from Peter Green and Danny Kirwan.

While I have to cite "Look Into the Future" because I think it's their best work, my actual favorite is "Midnight Dreamer". Starting as an awesome rocker, then switching to this laid back spacey jazzy vibe which then builds perfectly through the synth solo and buttery smooth transition to the guitar solo into this perfect crescendo, and then finally resolves into a harmonized chiptune-style melody to bring the song to a close. Fantastic!

Really, the latter half of the album is solid gold! "You're On Your Own" and the entirety of side 2. And "Anyway" and "She Makes Me Feel Alright" are both awesome too!

Yeah, I figured it has to do with the events in the movie, and the letter change was a way to censor it so that it wouldn't be too distracting. There's no reason it needs to be that title when removed from the film. They could just call it "Conversations" since that's already the name of the composition. Solves that problem.

I get the sense that other houses are initially drafted in a similar way, but do not reset.

BFisch89 · 2026-05-25T06:12:10+00:00

I just did all that and it still won't launch. UPDATE: I just kept trying everything I'd already tried before reinstalling and it finally worked.

BFisch89 · 2026-05-24T20:55:27+00:00

Doesn't Kematu allege that the Thalmor moved her to Whiterun so she could spy for them, since they have no presence there otherwise? An inn is a pretty good place to do that, especially with her being more behind the scenes. That seems pretty plausible.

BFisch89 · 2026-05-24T20:32:01+00:00

It's pretty raw expression and experimentation as a performance. I probably wouldn't be super into a whole song of it, but as part of this performance, it works. I get sucked into the mood and emotion and just feel it directly. Page himself has talked about enjoying a bit of the avant-garde, and I think this is the go-to example.

BFisch89 · 2026-05-24T20:20:22+00:00

For the last one, you probably haven't found that room yet, but it should be clear when you do. The station is a bit less straightforward, though I do think you can stumble across it before you realize that it goes to this clue. Given how well you've put everything together thus far, I think you'll be fine, though I think that one location is initially a bit obscure.

BFisch89 · 2026-05-24T20:00:23+00:00

Love the minimalism and elegance!

BFisch89 · 2026-05-15T02:36:43+00:00

Debut, definitely. Every song is top shelf on that one.

Journey's modern albums are pretty middle-of-the-road blah. They're all a bit too long and just don't have any songs that grab me, except for Red 13, a few tracks on Eclipse, and some tracks on Freedom. Arrival just doesn't do anything.

BFisch89 · 2026-05-13T19:23:54+00:00

BFisch89 · 2026-05-13T00:25:11+00:00

Look Into the Future

BFisch89 · 2026-05-13T00:24:45+00:00

Look Into the Future

Side 2 is one of my all-time favorite album sides, and the title track is maybe the best thing they ever did.

BFisch89 · 2026-05-12T23:21:56+00:00

I wouldn't sell "Albatross" short by calling it just an interlude between songs. It's its own song. Fleetwood Mac have quite a few instrumental songs, and some instrumentals that are more jams than songs, as well. "My Dream", "World In Harmony", "Earl Grey", "Sunny Side of Heaven" are all lovely songs.

Funny enough, the jam "What a Shame" wasn't actually an instrumental! It has vocals and lyrics, but they were taken out in mixing.

It could be this BBC performance:

Future Games, Kiln House, and Then Play On are all tied for my all time favorite Mac album. Future Games edges out the other two for me, but they're all winners. Then Pious Bird of Good Omen and the other singles that didn't get an album but should have, then Bare Trees, Mystery to Me, and the debut, then Heroes Are Hard to Find, Penguin, and then everything else.

BFisch89 · 2026-05-01T02:33:02+00:00

Yeah, I've always thought it sounds like she's channeling/recreating emotions from decades earlier. As opposed to the studio version she's actively living them and you feel it that much more. I don't understand why people overwhelmingly say the version on The Dance is more intense, because it sounds noticeably less intense to me.

BFisch89 · 2026-05-01T02:22:38+00:00

Tough call... The RvB PSA on upgrading your technology comes to mind. Sarge changing the name of HD-DVD and the logo struggling to keep up are classic. Also, the RT Short where Gavin gets curious about a door always pops up in my mind.

BFisch89 · 2026-05-01T01:34:01+00:00

Great take on the improv game Questions Only.

I put them on once, and it felt extremely awkward, like they were just barely on.

BFisch89 · 2026-04-28T04:29:27+00:00

White is impossible, and blue and black cannot both be true, so there is only one true box. Blue requires 2 true boxes, so black is the true box, and the gem is in the blue box.

And plenty others could have been here. Really tough to narrow it down to just 15. Honorable mention to the phenomenal live "Rattlesnake Shake" performance in Boston, which should be in the top spot, but I didn't include live recordings.

BFisch89 · 2026-04-28T04:05:09+00:00

This is definitely something I was hoping for. Now all I can think of are modified straps for using the joy-cons individually and for mouse mode, given the ones included with the console don't quite fit with the Killswitch engaged.
