This 1984 song belonging to the Romanian hard rock band Iris was released on the group's debut album, "Iris I", the first heavy metal album in the history of Romanian rock music. "At the Halt" is a many-sided musical creation, in which the vocal line has multiple possibilities to gradate the lyrics and to "color" the musical arrangement. Cristi Minculescu's lyrics outline an interesting poem of the "road" through life. Each of us comes across to "halts" that influence our existence. Minculescu's specific voice meaningly goes low and jaded to the end of the song, the same metaphorical way our life declines and the last "halt" we come across is the inevitable death. "At the Halt" was written in 1983, in a period in which Iris was part of Cenaclul Flacăra (lead by the national poet Adrian Păunescu). This video contains the live performance of "At the Halt" recorded at the 1992 edition of "Pop Rock & Show" Awards. During this concert, Minculescu also sang "All Right Now" - the famous smash hit of the 70's belonging to Free.

Fabulous band, this is the very first time I actually SEE the guys. By the time of their first album I couldn't believe they were from Rommania. I was the first playing their first album on my show on the radio in Cuba 1988 and in Venezuela 1996. I'm glad I did.
