ZZ Top - a comp CD made up of favorites from their first 6 albums (...heavy on Tres Hombres...).

Saw them only once when they opened for the Stones in '73. Great set, played for almost an hour, including their encore but man, were they hot!

79 F / 64% RH / 13 mph - hot and humid during the day, light showers tonight to cool things down

The Colour and the Shape....holy ****....can you believe this album was released over 20 years ago????....****, I'm getting old

Damnit..

BTW....I am still the poster with the most history....:)

A fan in the bedroom.

Again, thanks for this........I'm an EC fan and have listened to this many times, but never bothered to read the liner notes.......I didn't realize the band was known as the Palpitations, and what a lineup!
THE PALPITATIONS (13 January 1973)
Eric Clapton (guitar / vocals), Rebop Kwaku Baah (percussion), Jim Capaldi (drums), Rick Grech (bass), Jim Karstein (drums), Pete Townshend (guitar / vocals), Steve Winwood (keyboards / vocals), and Ron Wood (guitar)

Grateful Dead - Workingmans Dead

Love - Forever Changes

I consider myself something of a connoisseur of late '60's and '70's rock...but for some reason, this band is sort of a gap in my snobbery. I know (recognize) a number of their songs, of course. And, I've read about their profound influence on many of my favorite musicians. But their music has largely been missing for me....I'm fixing to correct that. This is great (and important?) stuff!!!

this and American Beauty, my personal Dead faves.

Eric Clapton - 10 Days - Day 1 - October 1, 1995 - Yoyogi Olympic Pool, Tokyo, Japan

Some of EC's best playing on this tour.

79 F / 66% RH / 12 mph - think it hit a high of 89 today

When my son was little, and still watching Sesame St., Billy Idol was the guest one day. He did a skit on the show where he sang about the "Little Rebel L". It was kinda funny watching him sing while they had a Muppet type L in a leather jacket running around being rebellious.

The Kinks-Schoolboys in Disgrace I remember seeing the Kinks during the tour for this album...............Good Times!

Pandora - Dubstep this morning, now 90's alternative.

I was just listening to that the other day...I think that 'Love' led me there....good stuff...that electric jug is (mostly) awesome

Johnny Cash-I Hurt Myself Today

Very sad and touching song

Early-mid '70s night:

Batdorf & Rodney - a comp disc with songs from their first 3 albums

Kalapana - local contemporary group that was highly influenced by B&R, America, Seals & Crofts, etc.

78 F / 66% RH / 4 mph

Chris Duarte. Texas Sugar/Strat Magik

Like!

Regular or expanded version?

It's the SACD version, limited edition.
Bought it a couple years back. Not sure if it's still available? ..AWESOME, both the 2-channel AND the 5.1.
Most people poo poo the multichannel, but when it's done right, like this mastering, it's spectacular.
The 2 channel is also fabulous.
I've got it in vinyl too but can't remember which version? ..regardless, an outstanding collaboration!




*edit - you can still get this on SACD

We used to see him a lot in the 90's. Great show. Damn good guitarist.

My stereo equipment is in storage - I miss my JBLs!

A band I found on FB...interesting take on 2 different genres mashed up together...Bluegrass and Thrash Metal

Native Howl a band from where I used to live...Rochester, MI

I bet they're a scream live!

Hayseed Dixie-Warpigs

Give these guys a listen, I think they're pretty good. They do mostly covers, but they cover everyone......Black Sabbath, Led Zep, J. Geils, Queen.......the list goes on and on

I've got some of their stuff...I think I've listed them in this thread...maybe not. LOVE their KISS covers.

Calling Dr. Love

understate much?

his rhapsody in blue opening still gives me goosebumps after so many years....and despite the numbing from cartoon overuse
