Grateful Dead 5/25/72
Miles Davis: most of discs 1 and 2 of the Complete In A Silent Way Sessions boxset (less the two songs that were originally released on Filles De Kilimanjaro)
Miles Davis: A...

Did he play the entire organ solo?

I still say the first six albums, up to and including Saints And Sinners are all great records. Sure, some of the lyrics are kinda silly, but so are most hard rock bands. I mean, not everyone can be...

Well, lyrics aren't the point of hard rock anyway, unless you're Phil Lynott. Everyone one else was singing to stuff fill the guitar between the guitar solos.

But I always thought Would I Lie To...

Marion Ross was on today's Mannix rerun. This makes the second time she's been on Mannix, playing two different characters. That's not unusual, a lot of actors have done it (and some of them more...

He also produced Magnum PI.

As for the "plug being pulled early" on everything Scott Bakula did, Enterprise ran for four years, which as Shatner once pointed out, was "a year longer than my show...

I remember someone sayign that a lot of the sound you heard on records back in the day was the result of leakage caused by everyone recording in the same room together. You'd have things like guitars...

I can't remember if I've ever seen Girl Trouble or Spin Out. I might have seen them like 40 years ago, when channel 43 used to do "Elvis week" on the Star Movie or whatever, but it's been too long...

Both Shelly Fabares and Dean Stockwell appeared on today's Mannix rerun. Shelly you made remember from the Donna Reed Show and then her later roles on One Day At A Time and Coach, or maybe you...

There's a Cold Stone Creamery near me that closed about 8 years ago, and their sign is still in front of the vacant building.

Sod your stinking rules! Rock doesn't play by rules! Top 12 Rock songs? That would look something like this:

The Byrds: Eight Miles High
Queen: Long Away
The Who: Armenia City In The Skies ...

I understand the point you're making. My point was that, given that the industry knew that home taping was going on in the first place, what the frell could they have possibly expected when Napster...

To be honest, I never really got around to hearing the early Triumph records, so my knowledge of their stuff is really the run from Just A Game through Stages (the live album that followed Thunder...

Not only that, but I saw an interview on Youtube where Rik made a comment about how part of the reason they went from RCA to MCA was because RCA wasn't willing to think of Triumph as anything that a...

Ya know what the funny thing about that is? Back before CD-R technology existed, some of us used to do a very prehistoric version of downloading music illegally. Here's how it worked: you went to the...

They also have no idea who was in this or that band. They don't really know or care that Jon Anderson isn't in Yes, they're just going to the concert so they can hear Owner Of A Lonely Heart and...

Genesis being very big has nothing to do with. You're assuming that people who buy multiplatinum selling records are the kind of who delve into the past of the people who made said hit record, and I...

I would agree with that. Most people had no clue about that stuff. This something a lot of art rock fans don't get. Just because you or I got into Genesis in the 80's, and then back tracked and...

Laugh if you want, but I recall reading he served honorably as an officer of the law, until he was wounded on the job and was forced to retire.

Today's Mannix had appearances from Marc Lawrence and Jay Robinson, each appearing, I think, for the second time. You may remember I said Jay Robinson later played Dr Shrinker, and Marc Lawrence...

Adam West was on a Bewitched rerun the other day.

Also, on Leave It To Beaver, Eddie Haskell says he had to stay late after school because the basketball coach liked to consult with him. Oh, is...

Marquee Moon is a fantastic album! Lots of great guitar playing from Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd on this album. There's a cool live album called The Blow Up, which came out in the 80's, but...

What's your issue with Slip Kid? It's a great, underrated song. If I was gonna put something by The WHo on such a list, it would probably be that.

Funny, I thought that was Jose Feliciano.

(Robin Williams as Adrian Cronauer mode) That's fascinating, Mr. Nixon. Could you please describe your genitalia to us?

Mine would be something like:

Yes: Relayer
Genesis: Selling England By The Pound
Genesis: A Trick Of The Tail
King Crimson: Larks Tongues In Aspic
Gong: You
Marillion: Misplaced Childhood...

Someone wanna tell me what the frell Diane Keaton was doing on today's Mannix rerun?!

(putting fingers together in Evil-Doers Finger Pyramid Of Thought) Good! Good!

There's a very old school lighting trick they use when they do Watcher Of The Skies in this context, specifically...

Also the man who inspired Abby Hoffman to find otu what happens when you walk onto the stage while The Who are performing, as well as the topic of a John Lennon song.

Dude, I've been doing that for 20-something years now.

I've heard In Thee by Blue Oyster Cult and Blowin' Free at the Five Guys near me, but that was years ago.

GREAT movie! Keep your eyes open for Charles Bronson.

The flying was during As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs, as depicted in the above video. I believe Peter starts Supper's Ready in silver, and then puts on a black cloak, I think during the electric piano solo...

If you can afford it, make sure you get floor seats. The show is a bit more mesmerizing, shall we say, from the floor. In particular The Waiting Room, and to a lesser extent, Watcher Of The Skies,...

Well, yes, Good Times is usually thought of a spin off of Maude, though there was no real continuity between the two shows. Yes, Florida had been Maude's maid in upstate NY, but Good Times, suddenly,...

Same thing with Good Times, The Jeffersons, and Sanford And Son. I can remember remembering watching all of them, and not really thinking about the ethnicity of the actors, or the settings of the...

Eighth grade gym class, one day, I was sitting on one of those gym mats, I dunno, probably waiting my turn to do whatever we were doing in class that day. Being bored and goofy, I started playing the...

I seem to recall the "official" word wasn't "King Crimson are finished", but rather, "There are no future King Crimson plans schedule, at the moment". I interpret that to mean that King Crimson isn't...

Morris: OK, so you see the girl, and you come to me and you say...what?
Jerome: Exactly!
Morris: The password is exactly?
Jerome: No, the password is what?
Morris: That's what I'm asking you,...

He had one son, who we saw in the second and third movies. He was murdered by a Klingon (I think the one played by Christopher Lloyd), which is why he was so vehement about his hatred of Klingons in...

The last couple days, it's been:

Steve Roach: Bloom Ascension
Steve Roach: Day Out Of Time
Klaus Schulze: discs 43, 46, 47 and 48 of the Ultimate Edition
Klaus Schulze: La Vie Electronique...

Been listening to a lot of his stuff the last couple days. Yesterday, I listened to both Electronic Meditation and the first Ash Ra Tempel album, as well as Irrlicht. Today, I listened to six discs...

They must have been REALLY impressed with Queen's ability to sound like a choir and a full orchestra's worth of guitars, all at the same time.

I only have Storm Force Ten from that era, but I like it a lot, so I may actually go for this one.

Have Jimmy Jackson and Thomas Keyserling also passed?

Oh, geez, I was having a conversation with a bus driver one day about the old buses that were still on the road at the time. Some of them were over a decade old and weren't even made anymore. He said...

I still say Eddie was the one who did the contract negotiations for the band. Rod Smallwood just send ole Ed in there, and he'd make sure the band got the upper hand. That's why they were always able...

That's the way it was for everyone (other than Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, apparently) back then. You were expected to have a new album out every year or so. I remember there being a comment in the...

I think that's the venue that The Who played at in 1979, that we have on video. I think it's either Baba O'Riley or Who Are You (or maybe both) where the ending gets botched a bit, and Daltrey quips...

That's how you built up your audience in those days: constant, non-stop touring. Especially if you weren't getting much airplay, that was the only real way to get it done.

The last few days:
Jerry Garcia: Compliments
Jerry Garcia: Reflection
Jerry Garcia: Cats Under The Stars
Jerry Garcia: Run For The Roses
Grateful Dead: 4/16/72 Aarhus, Denmark
Grateful Dead ...

I haven't listened to any Rush bootlegs in ages, but I always liked the St Louis show from the Permanent Waves tour. I've got that on a cassette around here someplace.

Tuscon 78 is the one where...

Turner built the "peanut" guitar that Jerry Garcia was frequently seen playing in late 70/early 71 (you can hear it on at least some of Skullfuck). If I remember correctly, Peanut was originally an...

Yesterday, I watched a big four (count 'em! FOUR!) episodes of Mannix. Some interesting guest stars scattered through these ones. The first had Star Trek escapee Arlene Martel (she was Spock's...

Jerry Garcia: Garcia (would you believe, for the very first time)
Grateful Dead: 6/28/74 Boston Garden second set

Probably about half of Frank Zappa's Guitar, on shuffle mode.

Grateful Dead: 4/15/72 Copenhagen
Forrest Fang: Some Brighter Stars

That must have been the only tour where they did that. I remember seeing two different Cheap Trick concerts on MTV, one from like 1981, with Pete Comita on bass, and the other one of the spring break...

Today's Mannix had an interesting combination of henchmen: Jay Robinson, Van Williams, Robert Pine, and Dana Elcar (making his third appearance on the show). What that means is, you had Dr Shrinker,...

Last couple days:
Henry Kaiser: Ice Death
Henry Kaiser: Devil In The Drain
Henry Kaiser/Anthony Pirog/Jeff Sipe/Tracy Silverman/Andy West: Five Times Surprise (double CD edition)
Henry...

Today's Mannix had Pamelyn Ferdin playing a girl who overhears two guys plotting to steal $150,000 worth of bearer bonds from a doctor she's seeing for therapy. Good episode. Ms. Ferdin was later on...
