Not sure if Styx qualifies as rock, but I saw them in sixth grade for the Grand Illusion tour. Don't remember much... :lol:

Listening to a bad-ass thunderstorm pass so close by
you can hear the alchemical crackle
surging between flash
and booM....

I just turned sixty, so now I am officially, "stuck in the sixties".

[JRL]

Love the Pizza Tapes!! And Magical Mystery Tour!! And Live at Winterland!!

Today at my festival gig on the breaks I heard some great zydeco. Didn't catch artists names expect for local greats Mumbo Gumbo. Don't know if this was why but their keyboard/accordian player was subbing on drums for us. If you ever watched Northern Exposure, it was Mumbo Gumbo on the theme music.

[laughingwillow]

Northern Exposure was about the only program on network TV that I've dug in the last 20 years. We recorded every episode on tape.

I be wanting to pick up Hendricks Live at Winterland. I bought his BBC sessions the other day. The mids and highs sound pretty good on that one, but there is little or no bottom end.

Live at Winterland is great. Sounds like Jimi was surfing the acid wave that drove the Dead at Winterland.

Again today I listened to Zydeco all day on my breaks at the big crawdad orgy in Isleton. It's about as close to Mardi Gras as I wanna get. Average day today: they only had to send the lifeflight helicopter in once to get a fight victim out.

Dead - Reckoning -

Brings back memories...

They do a cover on this disc called "Monkey and the Engineer." Its a tune they played less than a handful of times over their entire career.

Anyway, one night in LA at the Forum I run into a friend from the dead scene named Monkey. There was nothing unusual about running into Monkey. I saw her at most every show, but always in the parking lot. Because up until that point, Monkey had never managed to get into a show. And I'm guessing she had been part of the rolling scene for at least a year at that point. But Monkey made it into her first show that night in LA. I saw her walk in the door and congratulated her right then and there. Then the show started and Monkey and the Engineer made its way into that gal's first set. The serendipity of that one about put me over the edge.

lw- idan reichel? i was addicted to a few of those songs last summer.
"Im telech" was one of them
(if you go, who's going to hug me,
who am i going to stand by the window waiting for....)

i've been listening to Amy Winehouse lately. Such a great voice, such a miserable state of body health.

hoping to open my channels to more serious listening - school's cranking down to a close.
yay! no deadlines!

[JRL]

Isn't Amy great!!! If just survives a few more years what wonders will she produce.

[JRL]

"The serendipity of that one about put me over the edge."

After a while in that world you start taking synchronisity for granted.  don't if it happens more or you just get tuned in to the frequency.

[laughingwillow]

LOL I was wondering if'n that reference might get you out of lurk mode, sistah-j. I stumbled onto idan reichel through a link on a reggae site awhile back.

I was just about going to finally buy Amy's disc with rehab on it the other day but stumbled unexpectedly into the jerry garcia material exclusive to Borders Books and there went my entertainment dollars for the week. poof! Like dat...

judih: Nothing to do with the topics above, but you should check out the movie "Once" if'n you get the chance. Mrs lw did awhile back and we both have become addicted to the soundtrack and the artists who made the movie/music. Anyway, an irish singer/songwriter meets a female pianist from eastern europe and they collaborate on a bunch of breakup tunes due to mutual personal circumstances. And one of their musician friends decided to make a movie about them. They did it on a shoestring budget and ended up winning an academy award for best original music and got nominated for a couple of grammies in the process. Check it out.
