OLD MUSIC

[Ope3]

This one is just so fun because everyone on stage is clearly having a "ball". Dave Grohl stepping in for Frank Black while the Breeders play the Pixie's Surfa Rosa classic.

What a gas it was, to see.

It's the Winter Solstice today. For the shortest day of the year, have some Mott with Mick Ralphs laying it down.

got a $70 gift card as a rebate for buying a new set of tires.

So was in Mankato today, went to Barnes and Noble, and picked up the 50th Anniversary Box Set version of George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass."

also got a 3-disc set of the Grateful Dead Live at Madison Square Garden from March 9th, 1981.

go ahead, call me an old hippie. I'll be tripping out (sober) on U.S. Blues....

I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am; Been hidin' out in a rock and roll band.
Shake the hand that shook the hand of P.T. Barnum and Charlie Chan.
Shine your shoes, light your fuse. Can you use them ol' U.S. Blues?
I'll drink your health, share your wealth, run your life, steal your wife.
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.

It's a really well done collection. One of my all-time favorite album covers, especially Beatles related.

Went to five Dead and Co. shows in the last couple of years and they finally played US Blues at the last one. One of my favorite songs ever.

Oh... All Things Must Pass is my fav album ever..

My appreciation of Gram Parsons really essentially began through Evan Dando covering him. Perhaps the best is when Dando and Juliana Hatfield perform my favorite track of Grievous Angel.

As long as we're doing $1000 weddings, how bout a thousand dollar car.

I've always wondered if it was the same vehicle for Henneman that inspired Stuck in Indianapolis.

Can't wait! Got a Saturday show!

Can't wait! Got a Saturday show!

Looks like the tune is still pretty solidly in The Dead & Co's setlist rotation. I wonder if it's a given that it's played on Saturday gigs?!?

It was at both of the Sat. shows I went to last summer.

Seeing Paul Simon on Colbert recently reminded me of when he hosted SNL and his friend George Harrison joined him for a pair of incredibly iconic songs.

Here Comes the Sun / Homeward Bound

At at about 8 years old, that Beatles song became my favorite song, by anyone.

Still is.

The Billy Joel concert on CBS last night was a reminder of what my favorite song is, has been, and always will be.

 

[TRF Guy]

To me one the best debut rock albums ever.

Frampton Comes Alive? Everybody in the world has Frampton Comes Alive. If you lived in the suburbs you were issued it. It came in the mail with samples of "Tide".

My co-worker just saw him recently at the State. Said he was very, very good.

I've definitely posted 'Failure' in this thread before.....but it deserves repeating as one of the most underappreciated alt rock bands of all time. So many great songs. 'Fantastic Planet' is one of my top five favorite albums of all time.

I happened across this track during closing credits of some show, and had to go find out who it was. Had never heard of them before.

Just a stunning example of the garage band sound, and I bet they influenced a lot of future punk artists.

Also.....still waiting on an official release of Machina II.....

Someone told me that in the song Piano Man ….the piano man is a loser like the rest of the crowd.

Someone told me that in the song Piano Man ….the piano man is a loser like the rest of the crowd.

It's autobiographical. The characters are based on real people he encountered when he was working a piano bar in L.A. in the early 70s. He had signed one or more bad contracts around the time of his first LP, Cold Spring Harbor, and he was essentially on the lam from the record company, writing new songs but not recording them and working in the piano bar under the pseudonym Bill Martin. The line, "Man, what are you doing here?" In a sense, the piano man IS a loser of sorts in that he's underemployed.
