Swede Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 The Kinks - Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) Concept: English suburban life. Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys Pt.1 & 2 Concept: Gothic, fantasy-oriented stories. The Hellacopters - Head Off Concept: Covering friends, labelmates, tour partners, and other contemporaries.

Swede Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 anyone heard *the eight wives of henry VIII* or *journey to the centre of the earth*? The Amboy Dukes? They were a great band! Ted Nugent solo, not so good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmie ray Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I'd consider Pink Floyd's "Animals" a concept album, and unapproachable by any other group... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 He/She is talking about two records by Dick Wakeman. Ah, yeah, I remember now that the Amboy Dukes record/song were called Journey to the center of your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie29 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 A toss up between Journey To The Centre Of The Earth and War Of The Worlds. In 2005 Rick Wakeman presented an almost* one man show. He performed pieces from Henry VIII, Arthur and Journey in it's entirety (*Ashley Holt sang and narrated). Last year Jeff Wayne performed War Of The Worlds with a holographic Richard Burton narrating, Justin Hayward, Richard Thompson on vocals and a fully functioning Martian robot "ship".

caroselambra~ Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 *journey to the centre of the earth* must be pretty good if you rate it alongside WOTW contrary to what some might say, i've never heard it, but your review has inspired me to order it amazon here i come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancin'Days Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I have always thought Rush had great concept albums starting with 2112 and then Hemispheres. Also The Allen Parsons Project-I Robot and Tales of Mystery & Imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always wondered what it would be like if JPJ and RW played together!? David Hemmings one of my favourite British actors is the narrator. There is a Zep (well Yardbirds) connection as he starred in Blow Up. I remember watching a "live" simulcast of the this concert on tv and fm radio in '74. Dunno if it was ever released on DVD. In '75 another simulcast of the Melbourne concert with the Melbourne Philharmonic Orchestra and his band. Both were awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninelives Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Dark Side of the Moon and Animals are the more obvious ones but I'd also cast my vote for King Crimson's The Court of the Crimson King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
