Rage 20H/HL are designed with Shallow Spool Non Clicking Alarm Single Drag System. ChrisW Member Joined 153 Posts 4 Ben, the point to the reduced drag is to allow the use of very light braid - PE0.6-1. The speed is also outstanding and it has the power to enable jigging in deep water. The reel foot is now fixed with four screws instead of two for a more secure attachment and the drag lever has been redesigned to produce a clicking sound. The additional ‘M’ position to the drag lever, between the ‘free’ and ‘strike’ settings, that brings significant advantages when using ultra-thin braided line, providing more precise control and minimizing line breakages.

Steinhardt's violin was a distinctive element of the group's sound, being defined more by heartland rock than the jazz and classical influences which most progressive rock violinists followed. It defined the band's signature sound, a mix of American-style boogie rock and complex, symphonic arrangements with changing time signatures. Their 1974 self-titled debut album, produced by Gold, was released in March 1974, nearly a year after it was recorded in New York. Promotional poster for Kansas' 1976 concert in Allentown, Pennsylvania After signing with Kirshner, the group decided to return to using the name "Kansas".ġ974–1979: Rise to national prominence Eventually they received a recording contract with Don Kirshner's eponymous label, after Kirshner's assistant, Wally Gold, heard one of their demo tapes and came out to check out the band at one of their local gigs in March 1973 in Ellinwood, Kansas. In early 1973 they recruited Livgren from the second Kansas group, which then folded. In 1972, after Ehart returned from England (where he had gone to look for other musicians), he and Hope once again re-formed White Clover with Robby Steinhardt (vocals, violin, viola, cello), Steve Walsh (vocals, keyboards, synthesizers, percussion) and Rich Williams (guitars). This lineup is sometimes referred to as Kansas II, and 30 years later would re-form under the name Proto-Kaw. Įhart was replaced by Zeke Lowe and later Brad Schulz, Hope was replaced by Rod Mikinski on bass and Baker was replaced by John Bolton on saxophone and flute. This early Kansas group, sometimes called Kansas I, lasted until early 1971 when Ehart, Hope and some of the others left to re-form White Clover. White Clover members Dave Hope (bass) and Phil Ehart (drums, percussion) joined with Livgren, vocalists Meredith and Greg Allen, keyboardists Montre and Wright and saxophonist Larry Baker. In 1970 they changed the band's name to Kansas and merged with members of rival Topeka progressive rock group White Clover. After leaving to form the band Saratoga with Lynn Meredith and Dan Wright, they started playing Livgren's original material, with Scott Kessler playing bass and Zeke Lowe coming in on drums. In 1969, Don Montre and Kerry Livgren (guitars, keyboards, synthesizers) were performing in a band called the Reasons Why in their hometown of Topeka, Kansas. "Carry On Wayward Son" was the second-most-played track on US classic rock radio in 1995 and No. Kansas appeared on the US Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the 1970s and 1980s and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America, Europe and Japan. The band has produced nine gold albums, three multi-platinum albums ( Leftoverture 4×, Point of Know Return 4×, and The Best of Kansas 4×), one other platinum studio album ( Monolith), one platinum live double album ( Two for the Show), and a million-selling single, "Dust in the Wind". Kansas is an American rock band that formed in 1973 in Topeka, Kansas and became popular during the decade initially on album-oriented rock charts and later with hit singles such as " Carry On Wayward Son" and " Dust in the Wind".

We love that the application feels like a soothing ritual, but doesn’t add unnecessary time to your skincare or self-care routine - just note that the rollerball can sometimes get stuck, but a quick wipe down before putting it back on the shelf should prevent that from happening. The roll-on formula is different from all other options on our list, providing a unique feel that’ll instantly awaken your under-eyes with a cooling jolt. The rollerball can sometimes get stuck, so we recommend quickly wiping it down after each use to prevent that from happening.Īnother lightweight pick, Osea Ocean Eyes Serum firms, brightens, and depuffs skin in one easy swipe.

In doing so, we identified the top ten eye creams that revitalize under-eyes, depuff skin, and reduce the appearance of dark circles. To find the best eye creams to lean on when you aren’t able to catch the proper amount of zzz’s, we consulted with experts, read thousands of reviews, and tried out some of the top-rated ones available. Sure, concealer will always work to cover up those dreaded dark circles, but it’s a moisturizing eye cream that’ll really contribute to your skin’s overall health, brightening your under-eye area with long-term results. For those nights when an impending deadline is keeping you up or a crying baby just won’t quit, eye cream might be your very best friend come morning. They pack ingredients like peptides (for firmness) to Vitamin C (for brightness), caffeine (for circulation and alertness), hyaluronic acid (for hydration)-and some even contain SPF to help deflect UV rays and prevent environmental damage.Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to get a full eight hours of sleep. It’s wise to consider an eye cream as a treatment-the same way you might target an acne breakout with salicylic acid or use retinol to counter signs of aging, you would use an eye cream to prevent things like dark circles, puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles, dryness, and so forth. And that tiny eye cream is way more dense with nutrients and active ingredients-particularly those that benefit the very thin, delicate, and susceptible skin around your eyes. You might ask: If I’ve already got a moisturizer, then why do I need an eye cream? Isn’t an eye cream just an overpriced, pint-sized moisturizer anyway? Well, it is a moisturizer, but the price is relative to what you might need in an eye cream. Suddenly you’ve got a million-dollar stare, no fillers or botox needed. But with the best eye cream, it’s like a daily shield against all of those antagonists. Sleep deprivation, sun exposure, alcohol, dehydration, aging in general… these are just a smattering of things that compromise your steely gaze. Click here for a list of other gaming subreddits.

Rod Stewart performed the song for the 1972 orchestral version of Tommy, and it is included on several of Stewart's greatest hits compilations.Roger Ruskin-Spear (who was Townshend's roommate at college,) performed the song on his album "Unusual".Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.

Davey Johnstone – acoustic and electric guitars, backing vocals.To date, it is the only cover of a Who song to reach the top 10. John has performed the song as part of his Las Vegas Red Piano Show, as well as on various tours. Unlike most of the soundtrack's music, which featured various combinations of The Who and some of the era's best session players, John used his own band ( Dee Murray, Nigel Olsson, Davey Johnstone and Ray Cooper) and producer Gus Dudgeon for the track. John's version uses a piano as the song's centerpiece in place of the acoustic guitar in the original (in the film, John's character is shown playing his pinball machine via a small piano keyboard), and features additional lyrics specially written by Townshend for the movie version, as well as a subtle inclusion of musical phrases from The Who's 1960s hit " I Can't Explain" during the outro (similarly, The Who's later cover of John's " Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" included parts of " Take Me to the Pilot"). The song was performed by Elton John in Ken Russell's 1975 film adaptation of Tommy. This version was released as a single in 1975 in the US, and in 1976 in the UK, where it reached number 7. Bootleg recordings show that this song has been known to last as long as 8 minutes (at a concert at the Rainbow Theatre in London on 3 February 1981), although live versions lasting as long as that are extremely rare. The live performances rarely deviated from the album arrangement, save for an occasional jam at the end sometimes leading to another song. This song is one of the band's most famous live songs, being played at almost every Who concert since its debut live performance on. The song "Pinball Wizard" was written and recorded almost immediately. Knowing Cohn was an avid pinball fan, Townshend suggested that Tommy would play pinball, and Cohn immediately declared Tommy to be a masterpiece. Following this, Townshend, as Tommy's principal composer, discussed the album with Cohn and concluded that, to lighten the load of the rock opera's heavy spiritual overtones (Townshend had recently become deeply interested in the teachings of Meher Baba), the title character, a "deaf, dumb, and blind" boy, should also be particularly good at a certain game. In late 1968 or early 1969, when The Who played a rough assembly of their new album to critic Nik Cohn, Cohn gave a lukewarm reaction. The song was introduced into Tommy as an afterthought. It was a perpetual concert favourite for Who fans due to its pop sound and familiarity. Townshend once called it "the most clumsy piece of writing ever done" nevertheless, the song was a commercial success and one of the most recognised tunes from the opera. Always has a replay Never tilts at all That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball.", and " I thought I was the Bally table king, but I just handed my pinball crown to him". The lyrics are written from the perspective of a pinball champion, called "Local Lad" in the Tommy libretto book, astounded by the skills of the opera's eponymous main character, Tommy Walker: " What makes him so good? He ain't got no distractions Can't hear those buzzers and bells Don't see lights a flashin' Plays by sense of smell. |
