WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

I'm listening to the 5/8/77 Scarlet Fire that is the preview that comes with the new May '77 box set.

Today I was fortunate enough to find an original vinyl copy of one of my favorite Pink Floyd Albums...the all too often ignored "Obscured By Clouds." Enjoying it as I type.

Shawn Lane, Jonas Hellborg, and Felix Sabal-Lecco, 1998.

This set is improvised until the end, when they toss out some Black Market and Teen Town.

The Renaud Garcia-Fons is nice.

[pauldo]

Mad skills!  And a 5-string!

[David Houck]

Loved Molly Tuttle's playing on Old Man at the Mill (second link in Greg's post).

I spent some time yesterday evening trying to figure out what tuning she's using for that... it's kinda' like a banjo tuning with a bass drone instead of a high note. Weird, but very cool! 

I liked her take on Rain & Snow. Very soulful. And the guitar solo was very much a Clarence White-infused jam.

Rick Wakeman.  This is a concert from 1990, and I found it to be a very good demonstration of how Wakeman uses layering of sounds and movement through scenes as part of the overall composition.  There are a number of cameras, which make for great viewing of Wakeman's playing.  I like how he used pedals to hold the chord on one keyboard as he transitioned to another bank of keyboards for the next section of a piece.  It's quite wonderful to watch.

I have an assortment of Drive By Truckers music on my hard drive; listening to them today at work.
This one has a darkness to it, that is oddly enjoyable . . . .

[peoplechipper]

That is a cool song! I don't have the early truckers stuff; I guess I need to get it...

Fun little old-tyme jam by the PHC Band:

Greg, thanks for the Prairie Home Companion video.

The PHC vid was great - but Wakeman just doesn't seem fight without a cape.....
