I've been lucky to have no obvious problems with my hearing. I have always taken precautions when attending live shows. I wear earplugs or other ear protection at nearly every live event I attend. In...

I bought the 1974 issue at a local newsstand about a week ago.

I had a respiratory infection throughout November...was OK for the holidays and now my wife, son, and I are all trying to shake a nasty cold.
At least it hasn't turned into pneumonia..I spent 5...

This is a brand new book..I got it for Christmas but have yet to read it. (There is a paperback out from around 20 years ago...forget the name of it at the moment.)

+1.......I've had my classic for about 5 years...really don't use it all that much and I take good care of it, so hopefully it will last me another couple of years. If I hear the 64 gig touch is...

Wynton Marsalis has always been very "smug" when interviewed about the state of jazz...very narrow as to what he feels is "acceptable" as far as what jazz is and isn't. That's why I love Miles Davis...

:lol

Rudiments is a good overall look at his career. Crosswinds is great. I also have "A Live Mother For Ya", a pretty rare live recording from around 1977.
He also has some good live recordings with...

Billy Cobham's 'Spectrum' is widely recognised as a classic.



I'm surprised Cobham was not mentioned earlier!! His output has met with decidedly mixed reviews in recent years but he is still...

Saw him at Dodger Stadium in July...he was in very fine form and played for about three hours! Very tight band backing him also!

My wife and I were in Chaucer's Bookstore in Santa Barbara...checking out the music section I was lucky enough to find this book..auto-buy!
I have only just started it but I'm sure I will be pouring...

Not really purchases..at our wedding in 1986 friends gave us Invisible Touch, Journey's Infinity, Cars Greatest Hits..still have them all!
First actual CD purchase was Neil Diamond's Hot August...

This is where I'm at too! I've (sadly) already started to purge/re-arrange my music in anticipation of (sadly) having a smaller capacity for my music.

Saw this incredible show last night with my son! Paul was in very good voice and seemed in great shape after his earlier health issues.
He played around 40 songs, Beatles, Wings, solo in a three...

Mine also...not sure if the are roto-toms he is using but I've always loved that somewhat "hollow" sound of some of those drum fills.

Phil Collins...Hand in Hand.

What's also sad is seeing dad, mom, and children in a restaurant, and the father was not on just one, but TWO separate cellphones the whole time they were there. NOTHING can be worth not being in...

I was at a local jazz concert. Two women next to me talked during the entire show. At one point, the artist on stage dedicated the next song to one of the women...her husband had to tell her about...

[QUOTE=Rufus;291834]Just read Uncut magazine which has a feature on YES with individual members reflecting on the bands cataloge. According to Steve Howe it was Bill who came up with the title for...

Dreams, Nightmares, and Improvisations with Allan Holdsworth is also very good.
Chad seems to be a very cool guy also...authoritative when behind the drum kit but also very friendly...at the Baked...

Chad Wackerman has some very good jazz-fusion records out...he plays at the Baked Potato in LA often...I saw him the last time around and he was phenomenal! He's played drums with everyone from...

The irony, if you can call it that, was not lost on me either! ;)

A friend of mine asked if I wanted to see them a couple of years ago at a small theater in Calabassas, CA. I had heard of WASP but was never really into the hair/glam 80s bands, but I went anyway....

If you are using an IPod it can actually act as it's own hard drive. I accidentally erased my Itunes library once...I used my IPod to put the songs back up in the library and re-synched my IPod. It...

First concert ever went to....Blood Sweat and Tears with my parents at the LA Greek Theater in the late 60s..I was about ten years old and really didn't appreciate the music as I would have later....

I noticed that too..sometimes the TV stations will throw something like that it in to stop piracy...during some televised concerts I have noticed a slight video "click" or slight delay as well that I...

Saw the concert in LA at Staples Center. Love the album, REALLY loved the concert. The mix of music and visuals really brought the whole thing together!

The live music from these albums (Evening of Yes Music Plus, Live at the NEC) sounds better than the studio version. The latter has Tony Levin on Bass.

Back in the 60's...one concert bill included Jimi Hendrix, Cat Stevens, and Englebert Humperdink. Would have loved to have been in the audience to tally the demographic during that one!!

THIS!!!

I came to this thread late....
Here is another explanation for the origin of the "heavy metal" term, taken from "Phrase Finder."

"The term 'heavy metal' first appears in print in William...

Wonderful movie!!! I bought the soundtrack to it as well. I have also now found myself listening closely to background vocalists , more so than I used to.

"Which I never understood. Any time a commercial comes on, I change the station. Don't most people? "

Another reason not to listen to radio...In LA, KLOS it seems plays a few songs in between...

Already mentioned.....Sweet Home Alabama...seems like EVERY time I turn the radio on it's playing. Enough already!!!
Those commercials (usually car or banks) that have that rapid-fire speaking at...

Just checked..it is only the title track. Still, better than nothing........

Not sure if this is the entire release, but Itunes does have the 18:50 track for very cheap (if you don't mind not having the actual album.)

I was 15 at the time also...I remember watching the In Concert show...Hilarious Ozzy interview after Sabbath's set...when asked how it went he stated something like ..."It was like, it was like, I...

Nope...the beauty of TiVo!!!|)

Ponty also plays on the Billy Joel song "Downeaster Alexa"

Vigil is very good, Internal Exile is as well.
I also find his live albums the best. Sushi is very good...I like the fact they mixed the crowd up high in that one as the audience participation...

Don't remember the exact date...my sister in law had 2 tickets for Culture Club at the Gibson (then Universal) Amphitheater. My wife wanted to go..I was VERY resistant, but it was free we did go...

BobM...just going back through this thread and noticed the Cat Stevens "Teaser and the Firecat" album leaning up on your floor...The first album I ever bought and the one that started me on this...

I also use cotton balls...one large one wadded up as tighty as possible for each ear, and it seems to do fine. I attend lots of concerts and have not had problems yet. At a Pearl Jam concert a...

Same thing here...I was with my brother and parents, who are in their 80s. Even they thought the "rock star" was doing OK until the "American Idol" moment. I've said it before and I'll say it...

This one still does give me goosebumps....I usually crank it up until the music totally fades out. The way the voices fade into the instrumental mix...sheer bliss!

Maybe..still a lot of time left!
BTW...what's the deal with "Omaha" ?

I used to love KLOS...every now and then they will play something I have not heard in a while. It is amazing though, how many commercials there are in between their song sets. Between that and their...

Who is Pam??

Great game! Thank god the 49ers won!! If I had to hear Aaron Rodgers yell "319" any more I was going to throw my tacos at the TV screen!!

Apparently some of you have inbibed in too much egg nog or I just don't get this thread...time to move on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation......I can watch this one any time of year :lol

Please elaborate on what on earth you mean???!!!

An obscure one but rewarding if you can find it...
Waiting for Water by Grand Stand

An obscure one but rewarding if you can find it...

No, not happening with me.

Also available for download on Itunes.

Best tambourine moment.....Phil Collins and his tambourine/tarantella during "I Know What I Like."

Great live set...however, I always thought the moog, in First Impression part 2 in particular, seemed to be added in the studio. The sound of the synth sounds so bright compared to the somewhat...

I remember hearing the intro to John Mellencamp's"I Need a Lover Who Won't Drive Me Crazy" and thought ...what a great prog into!! Then the rest of the song started, and, well...:roll
