The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!

Didn't want to hi-jack  the thread that this was in:

Looks like it could be an outtake from Reefer Madness;  bass player hits some Maui Wowie backstage before the show and then goes 'crazy man!'.

That's a NICE kick to be on Wolf!  
 
I'm (still) on a McVie kick, and am about halfway through learning the tunes on his one album with a relatively unknown singer named Lola Thomas. I stumbled through this one late last night (ironically on the eve of an ex-girlfriend's birthday) and really got into the cool blue stuff he's playing:

Thanks for that one, Jazzyvee.  Great arrangement and playing all around, and very nice bass once again from Peter.

Wow! Lola Thomas' voice is mesmerizing! What a great song. Thanks.
 
Somebody mentioned Tim O'Brien: here's two by *Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers
 
Red Remembers the Sixties http://youtu.be/4x4fjr67_jE
 
Apache http://youtu.be/4x4fjr67_jE
 
* according to Hot Rize' site ( http://hotrize.com/red-knuckles-trailblazers/ ); Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers is a band that travels in the back of the Hot Rize bus and occasionally spells their employers on stage. The foursome (Red Knuckles, Wendell Mercantile, Waldo Otto, and Swade) plays 40?s and 50?s country music as well as you might expect from people who have mostly listened to the same jukebox for most of their lives. That jukebox, at the Eat Cafe in Wyoming, Montana, is where Red and the boys first met Hot Rize and agreed to leave their home to pursue fortune and fame.
 
Check out Wendell's guitar:

Up the 'Blazers Ed_Zep! Love those guys!
 
That's seriously one of the funniest alter-ego comedic routines ever. Hot Rize was just at a local venue recently but I had a gig elsewhere that night.  
 
One of the funniest bits they ever did, at the Ryman Auditorium one night, they had Jerry Douglas dressed in a white tux, dark glasses and a huge cigar as the Trailblazer's manager, and Sam Bush in a blue and red leotard as Waldo's long-lost cousin.

This must be a version of the same thing, with Jerry Douglas and Sam Bush, though some of the details differ: http://youtu.be/zRU9LjInuBo
 
I've seen them live a bunch of times. Red introduced Waldo as the guy playing electric table one time, and it still cracks me up. (Especially because Waldo may - or may not - be closely related to Peter Wernick, in my unbelievably humble opinion, one of the greatest banjo players who ever lived).
 
I learned how to play a walking bass line from Swade. Red asked him to demonstrate walking bass for the crowd, and Swade played one note (completely offbeat, of course) while walking slowly back and forth across the stage. (I still can't do it on an upright, though.)

The auto-double-post functions perfectly. I only pushed post once, though I admit, sometimes I wish there was a way to kick it. So what shall I do with this pre-derailed post? I know!
 
Solitaire by Jethro Tull
 
Brain storming, habit forming, battle warning
Weary winsome actor spewing spineless chilling lines
The critics falling over to tell themselves he's boring
And really not an awful lot of fun
Well, who the hell can he be when he's never had V.D.
And he doesn't even sit on toilet seats?
Court jesting, never resting, he must be very cunning
To assume an air of dignity and bless us all with his oratory prowess
His lame brained antics and his jumping in the air
And every night his act's the same
And so it must be all a game of chess he's playing
But you're wrong, Steve.  
 
You see, it's only solitaire.
 
 
That's what happens when you piss off a Scot. Steve got off easy. Trust me.

Paul TBO enters my thoughts on a fairly regular basis. Inappropriate humor, the third arm.. any number of things make me smile and wonder what he'd say as I go through the day. Today it's this that conjured his memory. I hope the afterlife is treating you well, my friend.

Teutonic prog-rock from 1974! Triumvirat's Illusions On A Double Dimple
 
http://youtu.be/RCoIWItQ0Xs
 
One of the albums in rotation on my B&O Beogram that summer, along with ELP'S Brain Salad Surgery, and Yes' Close To The Edge.
 
I think J?rgen Fritz was as amazing a keyboardist as Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman, with similar classical and rock influences.

Chris Squire and Yes, live 2014.  These guys play these songs so well; and these are songs I've always loved.
 
Good sound quality, and good video; however, the youtube vid is a little out of sync (would be nice to have the DVD).  Still, it's a great document to Chris Squire, and to Yes; and an enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.

Dave, I only skimmed that . . .  Bookmarked it for when I have more time.
 
That was great, absolutely loved the energy from Chris.  Goosebumps inducing performances throughout.
 
Loved seeing Chris on the triple neck on Awaken.

That the audio and video were out of sync was disconcerting; but it was still very enjoyable.

I was more uncomfortable with Steve Howe; to me his execution of his parts fell short.  His approach was proper, just that his fingers weren't doing what his brain asked. . . . I've been there.

Nice one Dave. I watched about half yesterday, and will catch the rest tonight. Playing with a pick completely bum-fuzzles me... and Chris Squire does it masterfully. I should spend time on that.  
 
Been under the weather (or something) since Thursday. I finally felt like playing again by yesterday evening, and went through Alison Krauss & Union Station's Lonely Runs Both Ways album. The lead-off track Gravity always hits home with me... Alison has always had a way of picking songs that mirror the life of a musician. Here's a live cut from Austin City Limits:
