i saw the rock and roll animal tour in 1974? great show and illuminating in so many ways.

RIP Dick Wagner. I "inherited" Rock and Roll Animal from one of my sisters and always loved the guitar work. I was also exposed to a lot of Alice through older sisters. Here's another track he soloed on.

My first exposure to Dick Wagner was probably this song...

... And Berlin by Lou Reed but that was some twin work, but it was Welcome To My Nightmare and seeing the tour that sticks in my mind...

I derailed about here (with this somewhat underrated LP) but this will do to finish...

Thanks for the music DW... rip...

wow, lovely version of Sloe Gin, I take it that's Tim Curry of Rocky Horror fame, is the rest of his solo stuff as bluesy?

Errrrr... no.

Bob Ezrin produced the first LP (with Sloe Gin - co written with the late and great Michael Kamen...
Most of the 2nd LP was written or co-written with DW...

Something else from the first LP, with a real "nightmare" feel...

Scarey !

So the Tim Curry version of Sloe Gin is the original
wow

Dick epitomized the true working musician to me.  He was everywhere, much like Chris Spedding.  My first exposure to Wagner was this album.  You guys are kids.   

[nofi]

hey, i had that record too. i liked this song.

[Highlander]

That was never available over here... proverbial rocking-horse-droppings...

And as WRM noted, yes indeed, Sloe by TC was the original...

[clankenstein]

i also had the ursa major lp and loved it, i got it on its release here in new zealand - a year or to ago now.....

[Highlander]

Stumbled on this one this morning - a live version (not great watching quality) of Sloe Gin, but Tim Curry credits Dick Wagner at the end, so a pretty rare performance from '78...
