When it's a big deal, it usually begins with a fancy overture. I'll illustrate:
o·ver·ture/ˈōvərCHər,ˈōvərˌCHo͝or/ noun: overture; plural noun: overtures1. an orchestral piece at the beginning of an opera, suite, play, oratorio, or other extended composition. an independent orchestral composition in one movement.2. an introduction to something more substantial.
So join us as we count down 10 semi classic rock overtures from our misspent youth, who knows it just might lead to something bigger ...and it usually did! Here's tonight's concert program:
10 Semi-Fraudulent Direct-From-Hollywood Overture from 200 Motels - Fank Zappa
09 Overture from The Raven- Lou Reed
08 The Clown's Overture - Beacon Street Union
07 The Long And Winding Road (Overture) - Beatles Con Grosso
06 Jimi Hendrix Overture - Pickin' On Hendrix
