“Neil Young goes record shopping, finds his own bootlegs (1972)”
The video, 15 minutes long, is interesting.

I was living in the Bahamas when ‘Uncle Meat’ came out. I remember the cashier at the record store exclaiming “Ew!” when she saw the cover.
Initially, expecting more in the vein of “Absolutely...

This is pretty good.
Patrick Moraz is a fabulous keyboard player. That he’s not my top preference doesn’t shortchange him.😐
Based on recordings from the 60’s / early 70’s, I’d say she’s a pioneer
as far as evoking expressive voices from a monophonic synthesizer. Playing the moog exclusively on her early records, she...
George Duke
As indicated, the link you quoted goes to an unofficially edited version of the song. The proper ending, which is cool and essential, is sacrficed for the sake of one alteration, which, in itself, is...
My apologies, FWIW.
I like the new song. I haven’t been following Yes for a while and am unfamiliar with their output since ‘The Ladder.’ I’m glad I checked this thread, which led me to hearing the song. This discussion...
Cool. Thanks.
The 30 second link sounds good.
‘Cut From the Stars’ on YouTube:
“This video is not available.”
It has 19 ‘likes’ (so far).
Expansive and precise. Original.
World class artist.

“Lana” is a soul tickler, cracking up my innards and harkening back to the fun territory of ‘the Tar Tapes,’ seemingly springing forth from that era. (When I bought Volume 1 at a guitar clinic,...
I wouldn’t care to relive my youth, but the music of my youth IS pretty good.
I don’t have as large a cd collection as I used to, so that isn’t a problem. But, IMO, the average cd is too long for one sitting. Less is more.
‘Don’t Crush That Dwarf’ was nominated for a Hugo Award for best dramatic presentation in 1971. The site says, “No winner chosen this year.” ‘Bozos’ was nominated in 1972 and lost out to ‘A Clockwork...

Cindy Williams also played in the short lived ‘Normal Life’ sitcom with Moon & Dweezil Zappa in 1990.

Yeah. The term ‘gems’ comes to mind. One can hear the love and care that went into this musical assemblage. Even song endings have a spinal charm, as best as I can describe.
Hi Mike. I’ve determined that the naughty bit in question, which is on ‘The Carousel of Progress,’ is at the point where “The ground swelled up” is sung. The dense vocal harmonies and swimming words...
Played this through once. Fun and solid. Real craft, as usual. Focus on the bass and the rest falls into place. One track puzzles. Haven’t read the liner notes yet.
Nice article. Thanks.
Snuggie Otis - “Strawberry Letter 23” (‘71)
I only heard this recently. The cover by the Brothers Johnson, produced by Quincy Jones, is well polished. I think this is better.

“Our Lips Are Sealed” - The Go-Go’s
“Empire State of Mind” - Alicia Keys
“It’s My Life” - Talk Talk

Did Yes even need more than 6 minutes?😉
I doubt that there are any legal issues. At the time, Beefheart was, in effect, a salaried member of Zappa’s band.
A few concerts from ‘75, like El Paso for instance, are up on YouTube. I like...
Shampoohorn by Z. I understand the European and American versions are not the same. Changes were made in the interim of their respective releases.
If I go to a show, I tend to expect faithful renditions of songs. When someone other than the original artist is covering a song, I HOPE for a new interpretation.
There’s the Beatle album that was pulled from the shelves because of the cover photo.

‘American Pie’ is too long for me. For one thing, I don’t seem to be wired to focus my attention on lyrics for an 8 or 9 minute stretch. But the song was some kind of a phenomenon when it came out....
Bohemian Rhapsody
My sense is that his reaction was a matter of being moved by the lyrics. The only specific line I recall him referring to is “Jack Flash sat on a candlestick.” I think that, in context, that line...
In the 70’s, I knew a psychiatrist who described experiencing a knot in his stomach the first time he heard “American Pie.” He explained that he thought his reaction was subconsciously triggered and...
I find that physical activity can be beneficial. A mindless task such as walking on a treadmill has provided an impetus for fresh ideas. I don’t stop and write stuff down. I figure if it’s worthwhile...
Prior to John Cale’s cover in the early 90’s, I’d never heard the song ‘Hallelujah.’ Now it seems unavoidable.
I’m not sure that this qualifies as non-jazz rhythm…

I’d reach for Zappa’s “The Lost Episodes.” It may be lacking in specified ear-candy attributes, but is comprised of a wide variety of cool events.

At that time, I think I would’ve been reluctant to invest in a 4 record set, even from Frank. Still, thumbs up to earlier access.
Edit: Actually, it’s not as lengthy as I thought. Probably...
I think the best I can do is to rattle off the first albums that come to mind. I only know that I’ve heard these lots of times, not necessarily the most...

I’d like to quote Narada Michael Walden from the biography of Josef Zawinul, “In a Silent Way.” This is regarding the song ‘Cannonball,’ which Zawinul wrote as a tribute to Cannonball Adderly around...
ELP had been to town and the local FM station seemed enamored of Tarkus. I think they played it every night for a while. Eventually I bought the album.

Creedance Clearwater Revival?
Crimson in a club in a ‘hick town’ in ‘81. We weren’t worthy.
Milton Nascimento in ‘91, supporting the Txai album. His band was pared down from the previous time I’d seen him. Cool concert.
BoMo (Bozzio/ Mastelotto) in Austin circa 2000, with an abundance of percussion instruments supplied by Mickey Hart. I was rather bored except for a brief moment when Bozzio jumped on the drum kit....
“C’mon Tommy, hurry up... If we don’t get finished we’ll have to throw down the dough.”

My apologies. I should’ve tried that url before posting this thread. If you search Warriors Beat-Club you can find it.
There appear to be some new videos of The Warriors on youtube. I thought I’d post this, although it may be old hat for many members here. Anyway, I didn’t know that Ian Wallace ever had an afro....
Rest in peace...

Just scanning over this thread I see ‘Freak Out’ and ‘We’re Only in it For the Money’ mentioned quite a bit. Maybe ‘Absolutely Free’ doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. It’s the first one I ever...
It sounds to me like Sugarcane Harris is playing the organ during Underwood’s sax improv at the start of “Gumbo Variations,” and then they switch ‘roles.’ But, it’s not credited. ...Those guys are...
Me, as well. A resourceful use of studio time. But, a cursory search revealed that the rate was $55 an hour at TTG Studios in ‘68. (Less than I expected, anyway.)

Roxy and One Size are great suggestions, but you might also consider The Yellow Shark.
https://youtu.be/OWysvAEl3zU
I think the above suggestions are really good. But, seems to me, delving into five albums of Frank Zappa at once dilutes the impact of each one. I would recommend perusing Zappa one album at a time.
