Couldn't get to a gig tonight with Pete Bruntnell and James Walbourne, as transport problems, so watching music stuff on TV.

Hoping someone got videos of the gig at The Cavern Pub,Raynes Park,SW London tonight .
A lovely venue with some top live music coming up as long as covid restrictions stay as they are.........at least.

I was living in Guildford England at the time when this was released in '87, and everything about it brings back many of those memories.
Here are Eric and Elton again on the title track, with some extra tasty playing from EC:

A very good record that never got much attention.

Well it sort of did as far as I recall, but I guess that depends how you define "much attention".

The album went platinum in the US, made it to #8 on Billboard, and #10 on the UK Albums Chart.
Lead single Got My Mind Set On You made it to #1 in the US (and several other countries), and #2 in the UK.

Via wiki:

"The album has consistently been praised by rock critics. Writing in Rolling Stone magazine, David Wild described it as "an expertly crafted, endlessly infectious record that constitutes Harrison's best album since 1970s inspired All Things Must Pass". Wild also acknowledged Lynne's input as co-producer and praised "When We Was Fab", "Cloud 9", "That's What It Takes" and "Wreck of the Hesperus" as "sublime pop".[15] In The New York Times, Stephen Holden noted the release as "crucial" to Harrison's career, adding: "A pleasingly tuneful album, its sound is deliberately quaint, as it explicitly evokes the Beatles' more romantic psychedelic music of the late 1960s."[16] Although he regretted the inclusion of ballads such as "Breath Away from Heaven", Bill Holdship wrote in Creem that "a good album's a good album, and Cloud Nine is plenty good … it's the best record from a former Beatle in at least seven years."'

I stand corrected then.

Ha...well I wasn't trying to prove you wrong, I just remembered it differently, and after looking it up on wiki found those stats and review excerpts.
Anyhow...........................time for some more George.

I was thinking how Traveling Wibury this sounded. Sure enough>>>
Jeff Lynne – bass guitar, keyboards, backing vocals

IOW Lynn is the producer. Stated or de facto.
