Last night (I am such a sucker) I found myself watching the last half of the 3rd film in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, for probably the nth time, and I had occasion to marvel for not the first time, at what Liv Rundgren Tyler brought to the part of Elven princess Arwen Evenstar.
Here's one from her biological father, Aerosmith's Steve Tyler, from the film "Armageddon"
and one from her adoptive father, Todd Rundgren

I've been gone WAY TOO LONG!!! Miss you all and think about you often! I've been trying to figure out some creative techie solutions, maneuvers and fun tricks. I've generally been busy. Will write about it later. Not working today. If I don't come back I'll publish my physical location so someone can come kick my butt!
Warning this offering for Christmas from "Fascinating Ada" may offend
Original released in 1963 ..this is a little later.
RIP Mick Abraham's, founding member of Jethro Tull
Which one is Jethro Tull?!?
(I kid, I kid! I'm a pretty big fan of Ian's music, even his weirder stuff.)

Aussie band Flowers had some good songs.
When they wanted to break into the US charts, they found there was already a band of that name, so they renamed to
Icehouse

This will be a seriously long post. Some may find it TLDR , if that is so, fair enough.
In 1990, I saw what may well be the most impressive concert I will ever see, of the dozens I have been to.
The Brisbane Entertainment Centre saw three concerts from him, March 17 - 19, 1990. My partner Sue became my second wife a couple of months after the show.
I am talking about Phil Collins, the drummer of Genesis, later lead singer after Peter Gabriel left the band.
The World Tour was named "Serious", and toured 16 countries to 2 million people. It took 10 months.
Phil was later reported to say that his favourite venue was Berlin, because it was not long after the fall of The Berlin Wall, and he had a wonderful welcome from the German people.
I've actually been sourcing this Post on and off for several weeks, trying to locate the elaborate stage he toured with.
Earlier, I found that someone had put together a reproduction with Lego, and that is featured here (you don't need to be a member)
The stage was like a Carousel, or roundabout or merry-go-round. Round, with panels that opened up to reveal the band, and closing after the last encore. When closed, the bunting at the top had the words
Mr Collins Galloping Horses
emblazoned.
Today, I found an amateur video of the entire show, I provide the Reddit reference for the background to the vid
...and it is from the Philadelphia concert, which is home town to our leader @Rob , so he may be interested, perhaps even seen it.
Be warned it is around 2:18:00 long (good value, in my books, when an artist is on for 2 hours or more), and if you want to fast-track to around 2:10:00 + , you can see the effect with the stage closing down. The person who took the vid did not capture the opening of the stage, but if you see the end you can imagine the beginning.
I hope you enjoy
I have yet to watch the full video myself, but it appears to have been the same setlist that Sue and I experienced.

I take it back, he did get most of it, just not what it looked like before it started opening. My bad.

Imagine, lugging all that around to 16 countries and over the space of 10 months !!
Good stuff, Chris.
