The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Back in the mid 70's I went to see a band called Earth Wind and Fire.........

It was not long after the original Star Wars film was released..

We all looked on a dark and empty stage when suddenly we all went silent as a very large mirror ball slowly began to hover mid stage ....

A guy dressed up as Hans Solo and another dressed as Darth Vader began to imitate a fight with lightsabers.

The sabers were flying off sparks every time they crashed together ...

Whilst this was going on the band snuck on stage to their instruments...



Suddenly the mirror ball or Death Star exploded in a genius of pyrotechnics that I have never seen been beaten to this day.

At the same moment laser lights and strobes went all around the stadium and the band went straight into Fantasy.



Unfortunately I couldn’t find a clip from that tour and this version looks a little tame by todays standard … but OH, the memories.

"Land Of A Thousand Words"



Another constellation dies

Do what you want 'cause it's your own sky

Just call me when the phone stops ringing

Thanks for coming by

I'm just glad I'm on your good side

Where it's smouldering or freezing

It's never all that easy to decide



This is the land of a thousand words

But it seems so few are worth the breath to say

Except I'll be looking after my own world

And you just keep on saving the day

I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far

I'm on the run to wherever you are



And that's the nature of the chase

You fall so far behind you end in first place

Pass the torch this time we're running to each’s own regret

There's no harm in playing hard to get

Boundlessness deceives me

Baby you may turn the corner yet



This is the land of a thousand words

But it seems so few are worth the breath to say

Except I'll be looking after my own world

And you just keep on saving the day

I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far

I'm on the run to wherever you are



I'm a gonna do everything I say

Tried to stay but time's running out

But now I'm on my way
