Enjoy the show. "Argus" is one of the greatest albums of all-time. Wishbone Ash's first five albums were great, but this was their peak. And (as I'm sure you know) it had a huge influence on the development of Iron Maiden's sound. I'm hoping they bring the tour to Ontario (Canada) at some point.
I was at the Hamilton show last night. It was a great concert (how could it not be?), but I enjoyed the Toronto show a lot more. That's probably due to my tickets (I was at the barrier on Tuesday, and had a seat yesterday - and although it was a really good seat, it just wasn't the same...
Just got home from the Toronto show. It was my 7th time seeing the band, and perhaps my best concert experience so far.
I won first to the barrier (but was towards the back of that group). I ended up getting 2nd row, to the right of centre. Janick was there 90% of the time, and Harris was there...
"The Talisman" is correct. Maybe the anagram in the 2nd clue was too obvious. (The first clue is a picture of a bottle of port, and the word "port" appears early in the song). @Jer is up.
King Crimson - Absent Lovers. This was the band's last live performance for nearly a decade. They play all of their best material from their three 1980's studio albums (the songs are played with so much energy that it makes the studio albums feel flat and lifeless in comparison), plus two more...
Falling Down?
(edit - I meant Man on the Edge, based on the movie Falling Down, where the main character snaps after, among other things, being laid off from his job - hence his "services are no longer needed")
The two that stand out for me:
"Sign of the Cross" from Rock in Rio is played faster and heavier during the verses and the instrumental part (right after the Harris/Murray section). Harris used far more power chords at Rock in Rio, giving the song more energy. I like Blaze Bayley, but Bruce...

I was reading the YouTube comments for "Robot". Someone suggested the lyrics to the chorus are actually "I am a yam / I am, a yam". Now I can't un-hear that.
