New Corrosion Of Conformity, IX; good album, only listened to once but I think better than their last, which was really good too...Tony

This thread motivated me to drag the turntable down from the attic and haul the vinyl up from the basement and I re-found:
 
Badges, Posters, Stickers, T-shirts ? Dire Straits ? Dance Play EP
Baby Batter ? Harvey Mandel
Who Do You Love? - Quicksilver Messenger Service ? Happy Trails
 
Ps. Thanks to everyone for cluing me into so many things I hadn?t listened to before

living in the past . . .  
 
Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo!
Sadly the ripped version I have here at work only has the first 37 seconds of The Great White Buffalo.  
:-(

In anticipation of the Petaluma Music Festival this weekend, I'm gearing up by listening to Galactic, Brokedown in Bakersfield and The Mother Hips.

Sound of Contact's Dimensionaut
 
Fronted by a guy who's father many of you have heard of, Simon Collins, Phil's kid.
 
He learned well from dad...

Too bad Phil's shoulders( I think) are so done he can't play drums anymore; he was a wicked drummer and I'm glad I got to see him with Genesis once...it was the poppier years at the end but he still didi some cool drum-offs with Dennis Chambers; kinda the big time equivalent of the current Melvins lineup- dual drummers can be awesome...Tony

Tony,
 
That would actually be Chester Thompson, who also played with Frank Zappa.
 
Saw Genesis for the first time in 1982, was the 10th anniversary of Foxtrot. They did Supper's Ready in it's entirety. BEST SHOW EVER...

Michael McDermott - 620 W. Surf
 
Chicago area musician, good material, brings back happy memories.

Mickey Hart's Mystery Box; Emmylou Harris, Stumble Into Grace; Alice Cooper, Love It To Death; David Alan Coe, 17 Hit Songs
 
Peter

I actually never knew Phil could play the drums so well until I listened to some of his older stuff! Being from Ann Arbor originally, I was an Alice Cooper freak back in the day. Hey Mica, Ill take some Galactic any time. I use to have every Jethro Tull Album and still have some on disk. Great bass lines and those fairies dancing in the woods are hard to ignore. I also like this thread as it turns me on to some new stuff. Today it was Americana Rock with Darkness On The Edge of Town by Springsteen

Grateful Dead rehearsal ; St Stephen , recorded @ Alembic Studios  aprox , 12/68

Since I'm doing a Jimi Hendrix thing along with the Led Zeppelin it got me thinking of Roy Buchanan and what a player he was. So I listened to this.
Austin City Limits circa 1976....
 

fIREHOSE - Mr. Machinery Operator

Wow! that is a monster player!
 
A few observations...I love the bass that dude's playing; such a cool finish...the clothes are BAD (and this coming from a guy who owns and wears vintage shirts with wide collars...
 
I also spotted a nice Traynor Custom Special behind the keyboardist; those are seriously cool amps-and loud-the only tube amp at the time to compete with a SVT; it used a weird tube usually used in tv's...most today have had 6550's put in them(a direct replacement) and they're still loud as hell; a friend of mine has one and it'll peak out at 170 watts or so, scary loud...the coolest things about those amps though is a few things; two lights, red and green so you could tell if the amp was on standby or ready to go, they were built like old Fenders with eyelet board but with better transformers, and the era seen in the video had a cool feature where the top of the box was held on with four bolts; remove them and the top came off and you could service the amp without removing the chassis...I have no idea why no one else has done this, it is genius...Tony.
