Thanks very much, Crimson, for sharing it. McLaughlin (and band) is insanely great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Lucky enough to see him play in a small club back in the late 70s. Actually came outside and hung out with folks after the show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Just finished listening to one of my favorite artists, Rick Wakeman, in concert in Cuba in 2005. NO ONE has mastered the synthesizer more than Rick and the guy in my avatar. Beyond genius level keyboads. Wakeman is on fire throughout this concert. And what a band he has assembled. Dave Calquhoun (guitar) and especially the brilliant Lee Pomeroy (bass) stand out. Great playing from start to finish ("Catherine Parr" is ridiculous.). But do yourself a favor and at least listen from about 1:25:00 thru the encore of "Starship Trooper/Wurm". Wakeman going into the audience and enlisting the help of an audience member is classic, as are his mind blowing solos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Spinal Tap, The Rutles goes down as the most brilliant rock parody ever. The genius of Neil Innes and Eric Idle. The shot of "news reporter" Idle running to catch up with the camera truck is one the great belly laughs. It's at about 1:30 in video below. LMFAO! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of my favorite MSG songs. Great performance by the whole band, but Simon Phillips is especially sharp behind the kit on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that we're rock & roll "mind melding". lol So cool that you dig Schenker, too. Yeah, Simon Phillips was an ace to hire for this record. That guy's resume is incredible. Fantastic drummer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted that Rush gig a while back, as I'm sure someone did before me. Actually saw them in Syracuse on that tour. Here's another Rush moment I found and posted. At a local Canadian high school no less. It's with their original drummer, the late John Rutsey. They're young, but the Rush sound is already there. Hope you dig it, Rob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 One guitar (no over-dubs) sounding like 10. One more from one of my favorite "New Age" albums from this period, Every Island. Danny Heines is such a talented guitarist. A very peaceful song which we could all use these days.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Still hacking away with my slide guitar. This is a good one (and not so difficult) as I'm in open G. Think they idolized Page and LZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
