Rush - Tom Sawyer

This is a live performance by Canadian rock band Rush performing their classic song "Tom Sawyer" live.
The song takes name after Mark Twain's literary character Tom Sawyer. It was originally released on the band's 1981 album "Moving Pictures" and many albums and compilations since. The song uses synthesizers and the drum techniques of drummer Neil Peart to create the unique sound "Tom Sawyer" has. The song did relatively well in the charts, was inducted into The Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, and became a staple on local hard rock stations everywhere.
It's a great song that has a unique sound.

Enjoy ; )

ZZ Top - Party on the Patio

This is a live performance by hard rock/blues band ZZ Top. They perform their song "Party on the Patio", a very traditional ZZ Top song. It's from the 1981 album "El Loco" which was the first album where the band started experimenting with synthesizers. This and "Tube Snake Boogie" were exceptions for the new format that would eventually bump the guys into 80's fame with the use of funny music videos, usually with hot chicks and nice looking vintage cars.
Dusty Hill sings this song, and he does a good job, just singing as loud as his lung capacity allows him.
It's a great little feel good rock 'n' roll vibe and song, classic ZZ Top, the old school ZZ sound, gotta love that!

Enjoy ; )
