If there was one performer I could go back in time and see it’d be him Yeah, love the blues but a late comer. Didn’t really get into them until about 20 years ago so I missed a lot of live acts. Never realized LZ was a blues band until I heard Traveling Riverside Blues. Thought Jimi was acid rock because that’s what I was led to believe when my sister bought me a Jimi Hendrix Experience cassette with the live version of Like a Rolling Stone and my parents wouldn’t let me listen to it because of the SSB at Woodstock. Red House? Are you kidding? Wind? His Little Wing? Weird, loved Beck/Stewart Ain’t Superstitious in college and a bunch of Clapton and Winwood but never put it together until years later. Saw Winwood warm up for Tom Petty a few years ago and quite frankly, Steve was better but pretty sure Petty was hammered. Best I can do is I saw The Allman Brothers about 4-5 years straight at the Beacon. You would like Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Fantastic blues guitarist. Great band (SRV's drummer), really great live and inexpensive. oh why the hell not..... since this thread was absolute garbage anyway until @HelenOfTroy, brought up great concerts and since this thread is going to get shut sooner or later: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He touched my heart, he was talking about his drug addiction, and but for the grace of God, he would be dead. Not a dry eye in the place. I also loved Chicago Blues, like Paul Butterfield and Mike Bloomfield. Remember John Mayall? Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton all played with him. Saw him at the Troubadour. Maybe we should start a Music thread to discuss music, concerts. Sorry for taking over this thread! Mayall just did a tour last year and Isaw him. He is getting too old to perform.

Dcat Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 6 hours ago, Peace Frog said: No need to apologize, if one could perform a retroactive abortion on this thread it would win the internet. Blind Faith Album cover, parents made my sisters cover it up but I still love Cant Find My Way. Listened to Blow by Blow and Wired all through college but so much jazz fusion mixed in I never went full blues. School Days is still probably my favorite album front to back. Listened to way too much Zappa, should have spent more time with Cream and Derek but we played John Barleycorn almost non stop. I'll never forget seeing Traffic at the Fillmore East when I was like 14 or 15. (Yes back then, parents let us do whatever on our own at that age... especially in NY). I was so excited because I must have listened to the Barlycorn album about a thousand times. Well, Steve Winwood came out, but they had to assist Chris Wood (saxophone) to the stage because he was wrecked out of his mind. THey started to play and Wood was off. He couldn't keep time and they stopped and left the stage, we thought just for a minute or 2. Then they tried to come out again and Chris Wood fell on stage. 45 minuteswent by and they couldn't even complete a single song. People were booing and throwing crap at the stage. Finally, they left the stage again and the house lights went on. So much for my experience watching Traffic. It wasn't Winwood's fault, but seriously? Fillmore didn't want to give refunds either and there was a near riot by the box office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace Frog Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Spent way too much time with Chick Corea Return to Forever, Al Dimeola and the Mahavishnu Orchestra but John McGluaghlin was great on the Dessert Song in School Days.

Peace Frog Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Most unique Allman concert I saw one year at the Beacon, I guess Dickie Betts was temporarily asked to leave lol and Elijah Blue came out-looked about 17- and played the Duane lick on Elizabeth Reed and he crushed it. Pretty cool. Then Dickie was back the following year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not playing anything that a thousand other people haven't played just as well over the years. No originality. That's why his attitude rubs me the wrong way.

When has Adams said or done anything on the field that can be remotely associated with OBJ? What people do or say on there own time I couldn't care less about. Adams is a pro on the field, OBJ whines, throws tantrums, punches defenders, takes cheap shots at defenders after the play (Carolina game) embarrasses himself fighting with kicking nets, and publicly rips up his QB. And you think this is a good comparison to Adams? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
