112.0. "Chris De Burgh" by CHEFS::HAIGHA () Wed Jun 15 1988 12:55

    
    How about a note on Chris De Burgh.
    
    I happen to have all of his albumns and I am of the opinion that
    he has got to be a brilliant all round proformer.

112.2Hold tight...LARVAE::BRIGGSThey use computers don't they?Wed Jun 15 1988 14:008
    I bought INTO THE LIGHT. How does this rate as a Chris de Burgh
    album? Apart from Lady in Red and Fatal Hesitation, I think the rest of
    it is banal and cliche-ridden and generally immemorable.
    
    Hows that for a controversial reply!! Actually, I'm serious.

112.4Help Wanted IPG::MORGANThis Is Car 55, We're In A TruckWed Jun 15 1988 14:5918
Can someone please tell me the following;

i)  The title of the track which has the following lyrics somewhere
    in it;

    WE cannot live together, but we cannot live apart...

    The title has the words Heart and Head in it. Not really helpful I know
    but I would appreciate any ideas. I saw the track on video in the Middle
    East a couple of times and thought it right special but can't for the life
    of me remember wot its called.

ii) The LP/CD on which I might find the aforementioned piece of music.

Many thanks in anticipation

    Rich,
    		The song you're quoting from is in fact called "The
    Head & The Heart" (I think...!).  It's on the "Man On The Line"
    album, which was released to celebrate 12 years of Chris De Burgh's
    association with A&M records.  A *great* album it is too.

112.6How to get people stripping at partiesOFFCLU::MMCMULLINWed Jun 15 1988 15:408
    
    	A lot of CDeB's stuff could me called ordinary but he as written
    	some great stuff. My fav - Patricia The Stripper. Great one
    	to play at parties. His performance on Self-Aid (Irish Aid Show)
    	was the best of the day, outshining even U2 in my view. I think
    	Lonley Skies is his best!
    
    	Maurice (who does not posess a single CDeB record) 
112.7Spaced out getawayCHEFS::HAIGHAWed Jun 15 1988 16:019
    
    What about "The Getaway"
    
    'Lets stick in a room together'
    'And make them fight it out'
    'Until they see that'
    'Nothing from nothing will leave nothing at all'

112.8Top man live...!WARDER::REXLEYAnna Stesia come to me ! Wed Jun 15 1988 16:5812
    
    	I don't actually own any of his records, but I ventured out
    to see him about 18 months ago...........
    
    	His backing group were polished and consisted of v. established
    muscicians, although he is not pretty to look at he could teach
    an awful lot of groups a thing or to about entertainment. Spanish
    Train live was tremendous, I would reccomend to anyone for a good
    night out. You'll enjoy yourself, even if your girlfriend 'dumps'
    you as he walks on stage !
