    For the first time ever, collectors can hear the original Easter Island, LIVE, from a concert in Louisville, KY, on September 29, 1978. This concert featured Easter Island, followed by the legendary UK (original 4 piece band). The songs were originally recorded from the audience, with a hand held mono cassette recorder. Modern technology has allowed me to polish up the inadequacies from the inferior recording. However, nothing was changed with the actual performances. Purchasing the entire CD will give you two of these rarest recordings, FREE!!! The songs are Solar Sailor(Live), and Face To Face(Live). Enjoy!!!

Face To Face 05:49
Face To Face Some people look to the preacher Some people search the sky Some try to buy it with money I don't know why Lovers, seekers, and dreamers take this day Only does your reflection show the way Freedom, freedom will will meet you Face to face Don't come to me for the answers My words might get in your way I hear the voice of your teacher Calling your name Lovers, seekers, and dreamers take this day Only does your reflection show the way Freedom, freedom will will meet you Face to face, face to face, face to face Illusion fades from your mirror The answer comes into view Your search has found your savior Living in you Lovers, seekers, and dreamers take this day Only does your reflection show the way Freedom, freedom will will meet you Face to face ©1978 Mark Miceli

The Genius Of The Dance Scattered paths of searching slaves Soon will form the great parade Scorched by winds from empty dreams These hearts must pray with silent screams As our thoughts were etched in fear Came the tide to send us Spacing through an ocean of devotion Flowing bright and clear From the source we ripple onward We are here… Here is where my senses sleep Here as though the hours never end Here exploding fantasies Here is where all the pieces fit Exactly when you move We are here… Here with all your might you are Here illuminated in the night Here the madness shed a tear for Here the melody is right For dancing in the light We are here… The essence following through… Spiraling endlessly As prisms of laughter, some rhythms of time Giving form only to thought Craving disaster and standing in line Only to form a sequence With seeds of wisdom, weeds of tears You and me, once again totally To face ascending destinies Lost in reality's variation Chanting tomorrow while losing today Of a cloud-hidden theme Wanting and wasting each pattern away Soaring here… The search cannot escape the spiral But the Genius of the Dance Shall endure… ©1977 Mark Miceli

Solar Sailor 06:20
Solar Sailor Mysteries inside of life are moulding your desires To find out who you really are You first must feel the fire Moving through a climax with the rhythm from stars Emotion fills your ready wings, you fly to survive Looking for the answers that are living at your side Giving, wanting, one more time Your dreams have been denied As you watch, you wonder where you are You're lost in a tide There's a reason for it all, just lift up your eyes Solar Sailor, drifting into your heart… Solar Sailor, moving us one by one into just one… Why are all our memories concealed inside a wall Surrounding us, inviting time to keep us from it all? I shouldn't try to show you What is blowing through your air But it seems as though so many things were meant for us to share Solar Sailor, drifting into your heart… Solar Sailor, moving us one by one into just one… Down the road, as kingdoms flow, the birds will sing this song You again will wonder where it is that you belong Some fools will find some reason why some fools let it show You will feel your life's desire about to let go... Solar Sailor, drifting into your heart… Solar Sailor, moving us one by one into just one… ©1977 Mark Miceli

Winds Of Time Since the winds of time have blown Our need for change has shown That the rule of greed in man Has control, it's out of hand So with wisdom wings can grow Rejecting greed, it has to go. ©1977 Raymond Vogel, Jr. and Park Crain

Life Celebration Minds move as one, as one mind moves through two And we must renew the concept Which is moving on in our lives, brought by disguise Now is the time to rise Here in the morning light, when sights touch tangled dreams Could it mean we'll take and make what's left And give of our lives, have them rise? Time whirls around, the sound of laughter in the air Do we dare take care, end emotions Moving on in our lives, we must rise With a song of celebration… Realize we all are one, no matter where you're coming from Come with me, the time is here We're going home into the sun Let us fly now, and get high now on life, It's worth a try now, join the celebration Our life celebration, pass it on… You are not a better man, You scratch and crawl for the upper hand And when you find your total goal, there's nothing left, So let it go… Let us fly now, and get high now on life, It's worth a try now, join the celebration Our life celebration, pass it on… Rest your eyes and soothe your soul, feel the afterglow Sip the air and take it slow, let the feeling grow A renaissance is drawing near, to brighten up your darkest fewr Once you've found your Evening Star Your life will shine with rays of revelation Life Celebration… Life Celebration… ©1977 Rick Bartlett, Park Crain, and Mark Miceli

Resurrection 05:51
Resurrection Locked inside illusions feeling disconnection Apprentices were looking for transfiguration Messengers of justice gave direction to us There beyond the distant borders of our silence We set out to find and climb the lofty tower Our desires were lashing at that magic hour Ice and fire were waiting, painting with their colors Western Wisdom told us to prepare the others A wind is causing all the motion The clouds have covered up their portion Somehow, again the sky is broken The sun is hanging as the token As we await some real assurance Will feeling measure all the distance to Resurrection? Truth unveiled completion of the preparation To expand the chance to share all inspiration Touch the world, the feeling will immortalize you Alchemists of destiny have set the stage for Resurrection. Surfacing into another transformation Taking just a fragment of this situation Open up the window of an inner vision This dimension claims the victims of its passions Resurrection!!! Follow your heart and escape from your silent doom. A silver cord is reaching through our lives A gentle pull on all the webs we've spun It seems to weave a precious set of wings Flying for real, once just imagination Now we can feel all the joy, all the pain All the hate, all the love… ©1977 Mark Miceli

Summerland 04:49
Summerland Where's the flow? Got to know! What's the toll? Looking for a special today? "Cross the stream, through a dream", such a deal! Can you show me, if I give you time? Just in time, to tune the dream machine Grease the palm, the future is all green You can keep it till you fall apart Transfer now, before the taste grows tart From the banks to castles in the air Take it all? The world is there to share Pay your way? Does the game seem fair? Give it back? You know the need is there! Give me yours, I'll give you mine, understand, Maybe we can be for free in Summerland. See the lines connecting to "amaze" All the I's that filter through the haze See the darkness blending with the light Crystallized and packaged up just right Suddenly, your heart begins to shake Trade your mind for all you want to take "Buy it now" the voice begins to wail Stop the sound, but still the echoes sail… Give me yours, I'll give you mine, understand, Maybe we can be for free in Summerland. I thought the flowers were still growing I thought the river was still flowing I thought that wisdom was in knowing what to know Was I just dreaming again? We only have what our sensations show… Rock and roll feeds your soul, makes you whole! Want some more? Pay some more. What's it for? ©1978 Mark Miceli

Now And Then 01:43
Now And Then Now and then a blue light shines And shows us all the other side Of what we thought, and said, and did, and were… And everything we think we are Reminds us of a falling star Lucky to see it… Now and then, I know that I'll live on…. ©1991 Mark Miceli

about

This is a remix of the original, self-titled vinyl album, by Easter Island, originally released in 1979. In 1991 I did a bit of remixing, and added the beginning song, Wanderer's Lament, and the last song, Now And Then.
Two of the members of Easter Island have passed away in recent years.
R.I.P. Mark Hendricks & Ray Vogel, two of the very finest musicians, that I have ever worked with.
