| It's official, there's nothing weirder than... Wow. The story gets even more bizarre. When I read your post, my first reaction was that it takes a big ego to attempt a Star Spangled Banner solo at the Hollywood Bowl. Then I remembered that Schon had been dating the woman from the "Real Housewi... | |
| Hot Tuna I think that "First Pull up, Then Down" is my favorite electric Hot Tuna album. Papa John's fiddle on "John's Other" and Jorma's guitar licks on "Been So Long" are classic. On the acoustic side, I enjoy "Live at Sweetwaters." Pete Sears (from Jeff... | |
| Hot Tuna Jorma is the man. | |
| Apple to Acquire Beats Audio I agree that the long term hidden asset is the content to populate Apple's platform of devices. My nephews all got Beat earbuds for Christmas last year. I found that they were WAY too loud and bass heavy. They really couldn't compete with my old S... | |
| Not asking the best.... Some classics mentioned. Here are a few memorable keyboard moments:Steve Winwood's solo on "Empty Pages" by TrafficChuck Leavells's solo on "Jessica" from the Allman Bros.Jojo Hermann's solo on "Disco" from Widespread Panic's Light Fuse....T Lavit... | |
| Fleetwood Mac All of this discussion over the different versions of FM sent me to amazon to investigate Peter Green era recordings. I found a 3 disc live set recorded in 1970 called Boston that was released last month. It looks like a bundling of 3 separate liv... | |
| "Looking Into You" A Tribute To Jackson Browne Thanks for the post. I like a lot of these artists and certainly enjoy Jackson Browne. | |
| SRV Instrumental tracks and similar artists Riviera is such a fine song. I would look into Ronnie Earl and the broadcasters. Ronnie is a Boston based blues guitarist with great chops. He has several terrific instrumentals in his catalog. I think his last cd was completely instrumental. High... | |
| Rembering the 80s: College Rock Qdrone-I agree with you about Guadalcanal Diary. I think that they deserve the "deluxe edition" treatment or a box set including selections from their albums, out takes, and perhaps a live recording. Love Tractor is another unique under appreciate... | |
| Rembering the 80s: College Rock Atlanta is blessed with WRAS from Ga. ST. J.B. Fuqua endowed this college station years ago. Consequently, WRAS has a 100,000 watt transmitter and can compete with the commercial stations only they could play anything they wanted. They helped brea... | |
| Paco De Lucia R.I.P. His work with Al Dimeola and John McLaughlin on "Friday night in San Francisco" I outstanding. A reference recording for me. | |
| My most memorable ROCK moment Wow. Hendrix, the Dead in Amsterdam, the Stooges in a fist fight, Chuck Berry at a birthday party? Although I have seen countless arena tours with most of the big name acts over the past 40 years, this thread makes me want to see even more. The pr... | |
| My most memorable ROCK moment I have many concert memories, but two intimate experiences that were the result of dumb luck. The first was in Atlanta around 1980 when a friend and I went to the Moonshadow Saloon to have a few beers. We walked in to a bar with about 30 people in... | |
| Suddenly, Porcupine Tree I discovered Porcupine Tree from this blog last year when I asked 'Gon members to recommend modern prog bands in the Yes, Pink Floyd genre. I like "In Absentia" and "Fear of the Blank Planet." "Anesthetize" is a great song. I hear elements of PF, ... | |
| Sloppy but Famous Contest Some of my favorite artists compensate for lack of pure technical skill with feedback, distortion, and effects- Neil Young, the Edge, and Jack White. Of course, then there is Steve Morse who is a very gifted technically, but uses effects anyway be... |
