Hard to imagine 10 years has passed but on what would have been his 60th birthday I am looking back at his passing on Nov 3rd 2009. Gregory was 49 when he died of frontal lobe brain cancer. We were...
My condolences, Kevin.
An absolute tragedy. A combination of several bad things culminating in suicide by firearm. RIP Bruce Trucks. :( If I might suggest a really good (and good quality) show by his band Bruce Trucks...
I could easily do a 6pack that was nothing but the Xmas song!
I am putting the Greg Lake tribute off until the first "Through The Looking Glass" show of 2017. I will pull together as many tribute songs as I can, interview audio, etc. Thanks for the suggestions.
WRT my upcoming Greg Lake tribute radio show. Internet stations are tied to very strict rules as to what we can do. I know that a lot of stations break those rules and get away with it but Deep...
RIP Greg Lake. I am working on my radio show for this coming Saturday night. If you have (or can point me to) any covers of Greg Lake solo tunes, cover of ELP tunes or covers of early Lake-era Krim...
I like the 3rd Napoli Centrale. Decent, if not quite at the level of the first two. I haven't heard either of the two albums put out in the 90s or the album they released in 2001. I have been...
I like this one a lot. And the follow up. Napoli Centrale was a find I didn't make until the 90s. Perigeo also do it for me, but I'd been into them since the mid 70s. I did a 4 pack of Perigeo on...
I didn't get to this last night. Looks like it will be a project for next Saturday's show.
An IZZ cover of "Valedictory" would be a very cool thing indeed!
Thanks for the Takwin Process download link.
"Freehand" should definitely get a covers re-imagining on my radio show.
There's the Mellow Records tribute to Gentle Giant. I was forgetting about it. That I have for sure. It has "Cogs In Cogs" and "Aspirations" so I have options. I think I can get to 8 tunes at...
Thanks for the link to GG covers. A big help. Appreciated.
Always Almost. I think I have that here. I'll have to look. Thanks.
Giant Tracks. Right. I have that somewhere here. Good. Two down seven to go. Under the rules that Deep Nuggets Radio operates by I can play three from the album and a total of four by GG in any...
Periodically on my radio show I will construct a bizarro world version an album that is having an anniversary. I was wondering if any of these Gentle Giant songs from "TP&TG" have been covered by...
Thanks for the Smoke Fairies link. Got it. Cheers!
I just bought the Tiger Moth Tails tunes. They'll be on my radio show Dec 23rd.
Thanks, Scott. I will check that out right now. Got the Tiger Moth Tails. Cheers.
A bit late to be asking this I suppose but here goes. Musical friends on PE. If you have a "seasonal" tune or two, or know of somebody who has such items, whether they are covers of classics or...
US bands Glass and Radio Piece III have a large dose of Canterbury in their DNA.
I would go Friday night but the PFM gig conflicts with my son Ian's first concert band gig at Cal State Northridge. I have to support my son. If I could I'd have taken him to see PFM but since the...
A great producer too. RIP.
Cardiacs will definitely do that! :)
@gpeccary Even with only 2 guys there from the classic 70s golden era I don't think you'll have cause to regret. I haven't seen them live in a few years but they've never not delivered. I...
That was an excellent read. Thanks, Anil.
Concur with Scott on both points. Taken one track at a time I had no problem with "Heaven And Earth". A couple of the tunes were really good, the rest perfectly fine filler. But put together I found...
Concur, arturs. That 2000 show in LA was excellent.
I shall dig deep today and tomorrow into albums I have with Guy on keyboards. I'll play a substantial tribute set on Wednesday's "Through The Looking Glass" radio show. RIP Guy.
How about Bill Ward? Some of his drum work, especially on the earlier Black Sabbath records, showed a sense of jazz swing.
Other drummers Baker has slagged off in print include Aynsley Dunbar and Mitch Mitchell. I notice he only slags off his contemporaries. I suspect he considers most modern rock drummers to be...
I have the MOFI CD of this classic album. It is magnificent. I am interested in the concert. But I'd like to hear the package before spending for it.
Following up on Calabasas Trafalgar's post, the San Diego Harlequin did record some very high-quality (8 track studio) demos. 5 or 6 tunes IIRC. Certainly enough that were the tapes ever to show...
Since I don't currently own "DOTF" this will be a welcome additin to my CD library.
I need to pay attention to this thread! It's been a few years since I bought "new" Italian. I have several segments on my radio show that "new" Italian would slide nicely into.
Glad to see High Tide getting some much deserved love. For the point in rock's evolution at which they were recording (first time around) they were as heavy as an atomic bomb blast. As heavy as the...
I shall be there roadie-ing for Heliopolis. Who are up and comers, though not new-boys by any stretch of the imagination, and damn good blokes.
I don't know if all the episodes to date are online, but when I did a search I got this page. I watched him interview Tony Iommi last great. I also see Ian Anderson and Brian May there so that's a...
Great idea to make a donation in Jeff's name to Farm Sanctuary. That is a very meaningful way to remember him.
We're all born to go. And Jeff is now gone, free from pain and suffering. So long,...
Any new Krim lineup would be of interest to me, since my sig line has always proclaimed me to be a "21st century schizoid man"... :D One with Wetton and McDonald (and maybe even Cross and Collins)...
Add me to the list of fans of Johnny Kidd & The Pirates. Authentic UK pre-Beatles band that rocked pretty convincingly. This 2 CD set is the stuff you want to get hold of because it shows how much...
This is brilliant! Well done!
That's a very good observation.
I enjoyed the interview with Ozzy and Geezer. Geezer seems coherent and pretty centered. Ozzy however is another story. The posse of eagle-eyed sober companions surrounding Ozzy to keep him from...
I've heard it twice. I like it a lot. Iommi is still a monster.
You are a very classy and courageous woman, Cyndee. In the midst of disaster you are amazing me. Hold your head high. Much love to you and Jeff.
This is the worst possible news. I remember how supportive you were when Greg Amov was dying. Now it's time for me to reciprocate.
How hard can be for a band member to go online and google "nektar band wiki" and see what comes up? Then they'd do the smart thing and pick another name.
Ken was a great guy. Anyone who had any kind of interaction with him found that our quickly. Once he was diagnosed with stage III lung cancer this day was a certainty. But it's still a shock to...
Thanks for the link. This is excellent.
I'm just an amateur coffee fiend. I like a coarse ground very dark roast, mixed approximately 50-50 with a coarse ground decaf dark roast. Doctor's orders to reduce my caffeine intake. I have a Mr....
As a fan of the musical I'm still very much looking forward to seeing this despite the bad reviews.
That's the set that I also have. Quite good bonus material.
Woargh!!!! I could go for a BLT right now, it being lunchtime. But I will instead have to settle for hearty turkey soup with a slice of brown bread and butter. Which is not so bad.
Sorry to hear this. But hey! Ed had a damn good run! He was no spring chicken when Spirit got started, so this was coming sooner rather than later. A great drummer by any yardstick.
There's not much any fans of other AFC Worst teams can say at thei point. The rest of the division has gone into the crapper. :(
From what I recall most Baja Prog attendees come from overseas. Japan, South America, Europe, Central America, with over half being from Latin America and Mexico. Yes there are always folks from...
