Great album...... makes me feel even older to realize that I bought it when it first came out. My favorite of theirs in fact, closely followed by Joshua Tree.

I went back to add two favorite meditations from Joshua Tree album so we must have been posting In God's Country at the same time. It is magical like that, all the religion I ever need.
Joshua Tree has serenity that surpasses the place itself, a nearby stark desert wasteland with rocks the size of small mountains.
It cleared their minds to create pristine elegies including a tribute to a band employee who had died in a motorcycle accident in 1986 and his favorite place at home in NZ.
:) I totally agree. From Denver originally and parts of S.W. Colorado bring a new meaning to the word "sublime". Both in a spiritual sense and an aesthetic one. Cool that this tremendous album has meaning to all who hear it.
Went to Japan a few years ago for some CNC training and a friend there took me to see these guys.
I was at Winterland when they recorded some of this album. On one of the songs you hear a firecracker go off, I can't remember which just now. I was like 5 ft. from the firecracker. Winterland was a former ice skating rink. It had horseshoe shaped seating, and a horseshoe shaped balcony. I was on the floor almost dead center. Frampton wasn't as big then as he'd soon become :) I was 15
