One Fine Morning - Piano Solo (2007-08-12)

Can anyone tell me who played the piano solo in One Fine Morning, and whether he ever did any jazz on his own? Any recommendations are welcome.

Gone on to greater acclaim (2006-02-10)

Lighthouse was the first rock band I ever saw in concert - at the CNE Bandshell in Toronto, around the time that One Fine Morning was released. This is a great retrospective collection. One the various band members, Howard Shore (flute, etc.) has since gone on to a very successful film scoring career ("Lord of the Ring" trilogy, etc.), and Paul Hoffert (keys) is executive director of a culture/technology thinktank at York University. Sadly, original singer Bob McBride had a troubled post-Lighthouse life (criminal, drug and health problems) and died in 1998.

Sunny Days, Yes Indeed (2004-09-22)

Its a shame more of the Lighthouse catalog isn't available on CD. They were one of my favorite bands from my youth, and after all these years, these cuts still sound fresh. Lighthouse was a band that recorded "live" (that is, even in the studio, everybody played together at once, rather than laying tracks down one at a time), so the sound you got on the albums was the same sound you got in concert.

I love that layered sound, with the live strings, horns, and tight, tight rhythm section. Great vocals too. One Fine Morning has to be one of the brightest, catchiest tunes in pop history (that 2-chord simple rhythm guitar lick will last forever in my mind). I was also partial to the "Can You Feel It" era of Lighthouse, and the hit from that album, "Pretty Lady."

Is there a complaint? I just wish there were more. Many of my favorites from Lighthouse are not included (I had all of the albums on vinyl at one time), and some of the digital remastering altered the depth and balance of the original cuts as I remember them, but that's a nit pick.

Lighthouse was full of great musicians making great music. If you like the "big band" rock sound of groups like Chicago, BS&T, and other bands of that genre, Lighthouse fits right in, and contributes a more unique sound and color than most of those 70ish bands.

Any chance they'll release more on CD? I hope so.

A fan from Youngstown Ohio (2004-04-10)

I only had one chance to see/hear Lighthouse "Live" and they had a no frills ass-kicking concert at the Tomorrow Club in Youngstown , Ohio!Outstanding from beginning to end! I wish I could have heard them again , I wish they would release all there catalog on CD format.Dreams do come true.

Blast from my Childhood Past (2003-12-23)

I was lucky enough to grow up with older brothers who liked really cool music, so I remember listening to Lighthouse in the early 70's when I was about 10 years old. I liked it then, and I like it even more now. There are a couple of "filler" tracks that aren't particularly good, but for the most part this CD is a horn-band lover's dream. This is the kind of stuff that causes me to regress back to my college habit of putting my speakers in the windows and blasting it for all my neighbors to hear !
