I know many Americans who are not as skilled in language arts. Kudos to you for helping others learn English. ASIDE: Unlike you, I don't know how to "tag" posters. How is this done? Just use the @ and their name and it will appear. I was picturing this guy with his college buddies driving 8 hours to see the Stones. growing up in NY we were spoiled. The power of music. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we had so many venues in the Tri-State Area. Plus, all the great bands played here. A band I saw several times back then as they were always around. Still love them today. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Took me like three days to remember the name of this song. Wanted to hear that massive, plodding instrumental "choral" line. Kept searching until two minutes ago when the skies parted and I saw the tune's title. lol I f*cking love this. Wish they would noodle solos over it for hours.

munchmemory Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I was/am a total fan of Prince (saw him a couple of times in the 80s). Can't believe I missed the original Grammy's salute/broadcast on Tuesday. Caught the re-run last night. Some interesting moments. But as with so many of these shows, a director too interested in cutting to inane audience reaction shots instead of remaining on the performers. Right in the middle of Gary Clark Jr.'s solo, we get to see some bimbo making her hands into a heart. lol Nice to see Prince's band from this era, The Revolution, back together. Pretty faithful rendition of "Mountains". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Idiots at the Grammy's have not released most of the performances for sharing. Here's the link to Foo Fighters doing "Darling Nikki": https://www.grammy.com/grammys/videos/watch-foo-fighters-play-darling-nikki-lets-go-crazy-grammy-salute-prince Beck doing "Raspberry Beret".

So this maybe one of my favorite Jazz Standards. Attended a Jazz clinic with Richie Cole in 1982 I think. His album Keeper of the Flame is a MUST. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it must have been nerve wracking playing in front of someone on that level. I'm sure I must have heard cuts from the album you mention, but right now does not ring a bell. I will check it out. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Just finished watching SB XXI where the Pats got creamed. ZZ Top was part of the half-time show, but their part is not on YouTube. Just needed to hear Billy's massive G chord ring out on maybe my favorite tune by the trio. Also dig the Billy Bo axe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved all their ZEP stuff. Rain Song, Khasmir, etc. They were amongst the first to cover RUSH. They did Passage to Bangkok back in 78 and then added Farewell to Kings, Spirit of the Radio etc. Met him in 81 give or take. Was a huge Beatles fan as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool that you've seen them a ton of times and met Randy. Agree that they were one of the first to cover Rush (and do it spot on like their other covers). Saw them, too a bunch of times in various LI rock clubs. I still always recall their incredible cover of Moody Blues' "Question". Ridiculously talented three piece that should have been more famous/successful than what they achieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being about 16-17, snuck in to Solomon Grundy's in Bay Shore NY and I hear them play "Story in her eyes". Don't think I ever hear the Question. I heard Ride my See Saw and Story in her eyes. Agreed on the success part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Because I am lame, I’ve only recently discovered that I love Pink Floyd, but I’m still in that newbie “The Wall” portion.

The Wall is the commercial crap Try the following albums in order to get a feel for their main evolution: Meddle Wish You Were Here Animals Division Bell then start filling in Ummagumma Atom Heart Mother Momentary Lapse of Reason Dark Side of the Moon (also commercial but not as bad the Wall) the earlier stuff was nothing like the later or you could just go see High Pitch's band … that should do it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the entire video, but especially check the gorgeous harmonies and trippy sound beginning at approx. 4:15. Syd was clearly influenced big time by Lennon-McCartney. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southparkcpa Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Some of the greatest guitar work... Joe Pass, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown , Jake Hanna. The first early introduction to Jazz I had. Met a Jazz Guitarist who wanted to play a duet bass and guitar so he gave me this album to listen to. Listen to "In a Meloow Tone moving into 7 come 11. It's fanstastic. I always wanted to sound like Ray Brown. TONS of 1-5 tones, passing tones. Basic stuff but he was the most in demand bassist in the USA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southparkcpa Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 So the bass player on this album was my first acoustic bass teacher. met him at a workshop and he told me put my Fender down, he wanted nothing of it. I was 16 or so. RIP Jamil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
