I'm revisiting Neil Young live.
I'm listening to an episode of "The Blue Bus," a radio program that originates in Maui and is reposted weekly on Mixcloud. This week's episode features (in a modest sort of way) Eric Clapton. The current track I'm listening to is "Genesis," by Hot Tuna.

By the way, the first song on this album has the greatest guitar tone ever recorded.

Jorma Kaukonen has a guitar camp that sounds like a real blast! It's called the Fur Peace Ranch, and it's in southeastern Ohio. A weekend tuition runs $1,550 and covers workshops (10+ hours of instruction), all meals, performance tickets, and limited lodging. Sounds like a gas!Quote:

i've got the lp version of the concert on disc, one disc if I recall correctly. I wonder if that six disc set was the entire run (2 or 3 nights, IIRC).Quote:

Man, do I love this group! I first heard the single track, side 4 of this double album while driving in my car. Its title is "Freedom," and as was the case during this time, many albums featured a single song that allowed solos from each band member to showcase their talents. The solo, "scat" singing of the vocalist reminded me a lot of Lou Rawls. It turns out the singer was Bill Champlin, for whom the group was named.
Many of you may know that Champlin became the vocalist for Chicago for many years. But the Sons, as they were affectionately known, were always his "first" band. Champlin was also a guitar player and keyboardist. Someone who could "do it all."
A great album, in my opinion.
I have been a huge Chcago fan over the years but i didn't know this. I'm checking it out. Thanks for sharing that!
Wow I gotta get that one myselfQuote:

AXStv today aired on its "Classic Albums" show a 1997 episode covering this seminal and ground-breaking album. People like Dave Mason, Jack Casady (one of my favorite bass players - holding a very nifty Gibson bass), Al Kooper, Steve Winwood, and of course Noel Redding, Mitch Mitchell, and a flurry of sound/recording engineers and studio musicians, managers, etc.
My vinyl copy of Electric Ladyland was purchased in Germany when it first came out. It did not contain any credits, liner notes or identifying data. It simply had a cover, a rear cover and an overleaf.
Having seen the video, I have a new appreciation of the items and techniques used (a kazoo? Really?). The sound engineers isolating different parts of different tracks also reveals some of the intricacies not always apparent. So, I'm giving it another listen. With new ears.

one of my favorite hendrix album. There's a bunch of songs together (4) that just by themselves would make a wonderful suite
Rainy Day, Dream Away
1983 (a merman I turn to be)
Moon, turn the tides, gently gently away
Still Raining, Still Dreaming
Just listened to Talking Heads albums: 77, More Songs, and Remain in Light. What a tight band.

One of the best live recorded albums ever IMHO.
This again. Damn good.

One of the bright lights of modern technological living is the ability to see concert videos in the comfort of one's home. And if you have decent tv/audio equipment, the experience can be quite enjoyable.
I was watching the Cream reunion concert at Royal Albert Hall in 2005. I had forgotten how individually talented the three were. Particularly Ginger Baker. Time, and the notion that he was a product of methedrine addiction replaced the real ability with the sticks. His rendition of "Toad" was brilliant!

(Incidentally, I watch these videos on AXS TV. If it's available through your content provider, you might look into it).
I'm currently watching The Who performing Tommy at the Royal Albert Hall in 2017. The soundtrack can be found here:

I so wanted to see that tour but the tickets, ai yi yi. didn't have enough organs to spare to buy one
Been reading Elvis Costello's autobiography Unfaithful Music and Disappearing Ink. It's got me listening to a lot of his stuff. I've always been a fan and hope to see him in Memphis on November 19.
My faves aren't necessarily in agreement with the critics, but I love and have been listening to the first album, Armed Forces, Spike, Imperial Bedroom, Mighty Like a Rose, and When I was Cruel.
