[@ratinatrap7815]

I love it when Pete and Phil get together. You get a conversation of passion and intelligence about music,

[@747jono]

Totally agree unlike reaction channels and no erm and ahs Love both channels

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Queensryche - “Road to Madness” 6. Genesis - “Supper’s Ready” 7. Thin Lizzy - “Roisín Dubh/Black Rose” 8. Yes - “Ritual” 9. Maiden - bugger, this is difficult! . . “Rime Of the Ancient Mariner” 10. Pink Floyd - “Echoes”

[@terry412]

1) "Teo Torriatte" - Queen - A Day at the Races 2) "Nights in White Satin" - The Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed 3) "A Day in the Life" - The Beatles - Sgt Pepper 4) "Love to Love" - UFO - Lights Out 5) "Purple Rain" - Prince - Purple Rain Soundtrack 6) "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" - Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland 7) "Won't Get Fooled Again" - The Who - Who's Next 8) "Magnum Opus" - Kansas - Leftoverture 9) "The Court of the Crimson King" - King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King 10) "Perpetual Change" - Yes - The Yes Album

[@VantagePointrocks]

As much as I love Hallowed, the Iron Maiden last track epic for me is Alexander the Great, absolutely adore that song, was so good to hear it live on the last tour.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

That thumbnail of Pete. Almost unrecognizable without a comic book or rock t shirt😂

[@gordy3714]

I had to look twice.

[@kenfrederick6223]

Great conversation. Your enthusiasm is for music is contagious. Take care, guys!🎸

[@gavinsmith9016]

Loved this. Two of my favourite KZbinrs. I just recently created a playlist of great opening and closing tracks from the same album. An album that opens with a banger, and closes with a banger!

[@kgrant67]

I think the reason Alex Lifeson doesn't come up more in the discussion of the all-time great guitarists is because everything he does is in service to the song. It's about the composition not about a solo. I actually think that contributes to his greatness

[@Gk2003m]

It’s because he’s not a great onstage improviser. Yes Alex is a great player and great prog composer. But what you heard at last week’s,concert is exactly what you heard at last month’s concert which is exactly what you heard at last year’s concert. Absent the demonstrated ability to blow you away with improvisation, he will never be held in as high regard as, say, Steve Howe or Ritchie Blackmore or Jan Akkerman.

[@cl8804]

i mean that and the fact that rush songs generally aren't that great, relative to the greatest

[@davidgehring4194]

The Beatles - A Day in the Life ( Sgt. Pepper )

[@ruinousinadequacies7655]

Brilliant...2 of my favorite channels together!!!

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Thank you 🙏

[@michaelboyle5563]

Tomorrow Never Knows by THE BEATLES, stunning !

[@maddysmith8846]

I always felt it also pointed the finger to where the Beatles were headed next. Brilliance on my favourite Beatles album.

[@PittsburghRocks]

Love the shirt, Phil! I'd say "You Keep On Moving" is one of the best closers... so hauntingly beautiful.

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

I did nearly choose that. It is my favourite track from Come Taste The Band.

[@ruinousinadequacies7655]

Deep Purple In Rock..Hard Loving Man!!!Rainbow Light in the Black!!!

[@TroyCooper-rw1pu]

Echoes from my favorite Floyd album, Meddle. Wonderful topic, Phil! And thanks for inviting Pete. You guys compliment each other with your passion for music.

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Thank you very much - Phil

[@thekivster]

A Day in the Life by The Beatles is probably my favorite.

[@thekivster]

Also Pink Floyd- Echoes. Thought you guys would mention it.

[@747jono]

Light In The Black Phil absolute classic 💯💯💯🤘🤘

[@angelomicciche3044]

Face melter of a solo!

[@jeffkelty6636]

Great program, Phil. Always good to see you and Pete get together. I agree with your choice of Dirty Women. Technical Ecstasy is my favorite Sabbath album, also. One of my picks would be The Garden by Rush, final song.on Clockwork Angels. Final song on their final album. In a word: poignant.

[@BanalayerPete1972]

That was great to watch - cheers Phil. Just last night, I listened to MSG's Lost Horizons around 5 times. It's so meaningful and emotional. Even though there was no actual band at the time, the album had an identity. That song leaves such a great impression. The bandleader Michael Schenker had arrived. Was hoping you'd include Light in the Black, but in fact I also think Rainbow Eyes is a great album closer, in a completely different way.😂 For Zeppelin, Bring It On Home is my fave end piece. Your UFO choice was perfect. I reckon Born to Lose, Anyday and Profession of Violence also hit the spot. Cheers.🙂

[@roberts.4261]

Immediately comes to mind: Rainbow - A Light in the Black; Uriah Heep - Salisbury; UFO - This Kid's including Between the Walls, etc.

[@stevewaring7177]

Just started watching so I've no idea what you're going to pick but I particularly like Gold Dust Woman at the end of Rumours - great atmosphere

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Brilliant track, and my favourite from Rumours

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

If think just right off the top of my head the epic jungleand from Born to run from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band is one hell of an album closer Followed by Tomorrow never knows from the Beatles on revolver definitely a sound unheard of at its time

[@derekclacton]

Great pick - one I also thought of and my favourite track from Rumours back in the day too 👍

[@maddysmith8846]

Both last two tracks Chris’s Oh Daddy and Stevie’s Gold Dust Woman bring the album to a great atmospheric close. I love GDW, one of the best tracks Stevie wrote.

[@douglasweston126]

Thanks guys - great picks. There will never be another Jimi Hendrix - what an impact he had. Cheers

[@tmc1054]

Such a great topic and idea behind it. Brilliant show, Uncle Phil, you had me at hello. My choices are obvious, perhaps becauce they are so good - 1. Echoes - Pink Floyd (Meddle) 2. Hallowed be thy Name - Iron Maiden (The Number of the Beast) 3. Whole Lotta Rosie - AC/DC (Let there be Rock) 4. Don't Wake the Lion - Magnum (Wings of Heaven) 5. Brothers In Arms - Dire straits (Brothers In Arms) 6. When The Levee Breaks - Led Zeppelin (IV) 7. You can't always Get what You Want - The Rolling Stones (Let It bleed) 8. Shooting Stars - Rival Sons (Feral Roots) 9. The Garden - Rush (Clockwork Angels) 10. Into the Void - Black Sabbath (Master of Reality) HMs Rime of the Ancient Mariner - Iron Maiden (Powersalve) Knights of Cydonia - Muse (Black Holes and Revelations) Spiral Architecht - Black Sabbath (Sabbath Bloody Sabbath) High Hopes - Pink Floyd (The Division Bell) Eyes of a Stranger - Queensryche (Operation Mindcrime) We wish you well - Whitesnake (Lovehunter)

[@lexpeters735]

Fantastic episode Phil, I agree, sequencing has just gone out of the window. The End was a great start, A Light In The Black is an absolute epic, Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, lastly You Keep On Moving puts Tommy Bolin with the greats.

[@johnmedland3399]

I was about to call it a day but then I saw this. So while listening I quickly scanned the CD collection. I'm glad you guys came up with Whole lotta Rosie, Larks Tongues in Aspic Pt II, When the Levee Breaks, Love to Love, La Villa Strangiato and the gorgeous I Believe in You. So here are some you may have missed (not sure: the video is still playing) in no particular order: Beatles - Sgt.

Excellent show.

Van Halen 'On Fire' from the debut Iron Maiden 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' from 'Number of the Beast' Judas Priest "Steeler' from 'British Steel' The Who 'Won't Get Fooled Again' from 'Who's Next' Black Sabbath 'The Writ"' from 'Sabotage'

[@briankellogg2751]

Here's a few obscure ones that are MUST hears: 1) On Fire - Van Halen (not that obscure) 2) Fuel To The Fire - Rory Gallaher Photo Finish 3) You Told Me That You Love Me - Tommy Bolin Private Eyes (every song is amazing) 4) Black Train - Montrose W.B. Presents (if you don't know this one, you need to) Cheers Guys!

[@UFO1601]

Hey guy's , one I'd certainly have picked is Starless by King Crimson, amazing track.

[@randyhenderson6166]

My favorite album closers off the top of my head: Natural Science - Rush (Permanent Waves) Lonely Is the Word - Black Sabbath (H&H) The Count of Tuscany - Dream Theater (Black Clouds and Silver Linings) Learning to Live - Dream Theater (Images and Words) Echo - Joe Satriani (Surfing With the Alien) Marching In Time - Tremonti (Marching In Time)

[@jamescouture3293]

One of my all time favorite closing tracks Harmony Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick Road absolute classic Closer to a absolute classic album

[@jerrygeorgopolis8015]

Phil, Thank you and Pete for the video !!

[@terrydaktyllus1320]

Eloy are the *absolute masters* of "the epic album closer": "Mighty Echoes" from "Silent Cries & Mighty Echoes" (1979) "Carried By Cosmic Winds" from "Planets" (1981) "A Broken Frame" from "Performance" (1983) "Jeanne D' Arc" from "Destination" (1992) "Company Of Angels" from "The Tides Return Forever" (1994) "The Answer" from "Ocean II - The Answer" (1998) - this one is "the most epic of the Eloy album closers", 11 minutes of sheer majesty. "Mystery - The Secret, Part 2" from "Visionary" (2009)

[@Nitramessahc]

Well, Atlantis' Agony and the Bells of Notre-Dame are some of their greatest.

[@kerrycanfield332]

One thing sealed it for me: Is it a fadeout that gives the impression/illusion of continuing forever, past the conclusion of the groove? That suggests two to me immediately: “Pilgrim’s Progress” from A Salty Dog by Procol Harum, and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” from Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones.

[@alexsuperpower1]

These two gents together is magic so much knowledge. Great having Pete on your own channel Phil! It makes me so happy that Phil mentioned I Believe In You one of my personal favorite songs, just an epic track and the best Y&T song (in my opinion). One for me would be Highway Song by Blackfoot. One of my fav bands (fav southern rock band) just love that song!

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Thank you - Phil

[@Beaumont67]

AWESOME PICKS & Excellent Channel !!!

[@kylereece1979]

"The Call Of Ktulu". An absolute epic finale to a groundbreaking album. The gargantuan journey Ride The Lightning takes you on via the previous songs is already exhilerating, but Ktulu's call is a cinematic, climatic cresendo. It is a stunning, awe inspiring piece of brilliance that sounds like it is a bands absolute final statement. Yet, they were only really getting started. Hot Take: I think the S&M version is even better. The orchestration introduces a whole new experience and dimension to it.

[@65mule]

Fantastic episode guys, making me think now! Hallowed will always be my favourite pick though!

[@griefforest1870]

Here are a couple which came to my mind: Judas Priest - One Shot at Glory Majestic, full throttle impact, one of Rob's best vocal performances Roy Orbison - Careless Heart /You may feel me crying This is a tricky one because the other one is basically a bonus song but it still serves not only as an album closer but as a career closer because he sadly died shorty before the album was released. What a voice. Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland What a great composition! One of the best sax solos. As much as I love the direction he went I'll always cherish Wild Innocent E Street and Born to run for their lavish and complex arrangements. The Cure - Faith Although everything goes bananas for the successor, I always preffered this album to it and especially the title track which finishes it. Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms Although I prefer their work up to this point, there is no denying that there are some gems on this album and the title track especially is a timeless classic. Depeche Mode - Higher Love Although DM has many strong suits album closers are not one of them in my humble opinion. Blasphemous rumours might get close but it feels more like a hitsong at the end, whereas Higher Love from Songs of Faith and Devotion (my favourite DM album) has a hymnic, final quality to it. Elton John - Madman across the water (Original version) One of my favourite songs by him, probably shared by quite a few. 9 minutes, epic and poignant, ripping solo by Mick Ronson.

[@stanferraro4130]

An interesting topic, so many to choose from...here's a bunch that came to my mind : "in a glass house" and "i lost my head" Gentle Giant, "heart of the sunrise" and "awaken"-Yes, "lunar sea"-Camel, "Vital signs" -Rush, "all things will pass"-Opeth, "into the void" "under the sun" ,"spiral architect"- Black Sabbath......and the list goes on...good choices BTW.

[@peterr1001]

As always an absolute joy to see the 2 of you doing a show together, you're a really great double act. There are 2 or 3 songs that you didn't mention, an obvious one being Supper's Ready, Pete mentioned Genesis but not that track. The one I was most surprised you didn't include was Day in the Life from Sergeant Peppers, if I had to choose a favourite closer that might be it. Finally a bit of a cheat, I want to include Bohemian Rhapsody, I know strictly speaking it isn't the closer on night at the Opera, but I always forget about the National Anthem 7 it doesn't really count for me. Certainly I was surprised you didn't include any Queen. Cheers guys I look forward to the next show

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Thank you - Phil :)

[@tristanblack6609]

Awesome video. Two of my favorite channels. Hope to see more Sabbath content..funny when Phil pulls out The Doors lp😅

[@x51p]

Great chat and very informative Phil. Pete touched on a subject I think would make a good topic for a future discussion. In the age of the 78 minute cd, how many albums considered 'good' would be considered classics if they had a few less tracks on them. Too many artists feel the need to fill the disc with filler tracks when a few less would lead to a far higher quality album.

[@FromThe4thWall]

"Slim Slow Slider" - Van Morrison "Goodbye" - Free "It Don't Matter" and "Take Me to the Top" - Loverboy "Lonely Is the Word" and "Over and Over" - Black Sabbath "First Step of Love" - Hughes/Thrall "King of the Mountain" - ArcAngel "Shame on the Night", "Egypt", "Bring Down the Rain" and "This Is Your Life" - Dio "Dr. Mabuse (First Life)" - Propaganda "Lost Reflection" and "Transcendence" - Crimson Glory "All Things Must Change" - Widowmaker "You Fly" - VandenPlas "It Falls Through Me" - Iommi "Nothing but Time" - Metric

[@patriotpizzaman]

Love To Love is the first song I thought of for this excersise. I knew it would be on Pete's list but, I didn't see it coming from you Phil, nice choice! Shine On You Crazy Diamond VI - IX is another epic album closer that you have to hear before you die. Anyone who hasn't been through Wish You Were Here from beginning to end has to find time for that before it's too late. Absolute perfection from David Gilmour and company. My #1 is an epic Tour De Force from the late great Randy Rhoads, Diary of a Madman. Yeah Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake, and Ozzy Osbourne helped make that song great as well but, Randy outdid himself the performance of a lifetime to end that masterpiece.

[@retohofmann5878]

Hi, all your chosen songs are brilliant, but I would like to mention one song from this millenium too. It's OPETH - Deliverance (LIVE AT RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE)...the last 5 to 6 minutes are outstanding! Cheers from Switzerland

[@Mr.Wrong1]

For me, it has to be Last Exit For The Lost by Fields Of The Nephilim from The Nephilim record. This is not only the best album closer but also the best gig closer. It never fails to inspire and always take me to another place. I never tire of hearing this song. At almost 10 minutes long it just builds and builds reaching an outstanding crescendo, always leaving me wishing this track would never end. Its simply a stunning piece of music, on a wonderful record by an often overlooked, fantastic band.

[@ianemery4355]

This is a wonderful video! Yes Thin Lizzy Emerald! And Black Rose! And the Stranglers Down in the sewer! But Rainbow Zeppelin fantastic! 👍

[@Mikesmallfanclub]

Excellent can we have some more of the same please Phil and Pete, I’d like to mention Magnum Opus from the Leftoverture album from Kansas an absolute epic of an album closer agree with every track you’ve mentioned all classic album tracks and well worthy of a mention 👏.

[@NowSpinningMagazine]

Thank you - Phil

[@jimmyagates]

As for The Babys I suggest the closing track on their debut "Dying Man" it's an epic for sure. Great list anyway guys! Also I'l add Animal Magnetism by Scorpions...awesome track.

[@williamwalker146]

Can't wait for part 2!

[@MrDirtybear]

My favourite epic album closer? 'A Louse Is Not A Home' by Peter Hammill from his 1974 album 'The Silent Corner and The Empty Stage'. By guitar based hard rock standards Hammill and Van Der Graaf Generator probably get filed under 'left field theatrical also rans', for being keyboard and sax led where they are well received at all. But the intensity of the lyric and ear worm nature of the music on 'A Louse Is Not A Home', a song about divided identity, is so much more than merely 'memorable'.

[@Fritha71]

A great one!!

Always loved " A light in the black" with the speed and power and especially when it came out in 1976 i always thought it was proto thrash metal just year's earlier.

There are some great music appreciation channels on You Tube and these are two of my favourites. I always thought that Black Sabbath were painstakingly careful with all of their closers.

Thank you 🙏

Just what I was thinking too- Warning, Fairies Wear Boots, Into The Void, Under The Sun & Dirty Women in particular. All stunning closers.

All the king's horses is another great Nazareth album closer.

Whisper a Prayer for The Dying on Coverdale / Page is beyond epic and underrated.
