WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

Right back to watching this on you tube.
Great stuff

I do wonder if i'm absorbing the dead into my musical taste and becoming a bit of a dead head later in life. I can hear why you guys love Phil's bass playing and tone. He sure is one cool dude.

Just finished watching this this afternoon. Great concert and superb sound and musicianship. It would have been good, from my point of view, to have the names of the songs appear briefly at the bottom of the screen as I had no idea of what they were so hence can't check out the recorded version.  I might just have to look for the blu ray dvd. I'm assuming the guitarist in the above photo is Phil's son?  He's a superb player and clearly loves that guitar.

Check the pinned reply on Youtube, it gives the times and song titles. The guitarist in the still is Trey Anastasio, of Phish fame.

He does resemble Phil.

He does resemble Phil.

Physically, a bit; musically? Not even close to the same league!

I got on a Lee Ann Womack jag while out walking off a crappy day last night... man, she's had some fine musicians around her.

Anybody know who this cat is with the Les Paul Goldtop?

The current issue of Vintage Guitar has dual interviews with John Sebastian & Arlen Roth, who have just dropped a mostly-acoustic (Why mostly-acoustic?  Quoth Mr. Sebastian, "77 year old John can't stand up to 22 year old John") album of Lovin' Spoonful songs; this led me spending most of yesterday in their catalog.

It's probably due to the more-experimental stuff that followed on their heels, but I think it is being forgotten what a fine band, with what a wide range, the Spoonful was - and anyone makes a list of "Great Guitarists" that includes Jimmy Page and/or Slash, but excludes Zal Yanovsky, should be pummeled with an autoharp!  He didn't shred, but he did all manner of subtle, amazing things if you listen closely.

Went to the library tonight for a show by Cherry & Jerry:

Basement Jaxx…Do your thing

Feel good tune for a Saturday.

I went to the first two shows that were in Santa Clara an Trey did a fantastic job   The first of those two nights was mind blowing.

Thinking about The Rutles and this tune popped into my head.  It really is wonderfully creative.

The crazy thing about 'cheese and onions' is if it appeared on a late Beatles album you'd just go 'uh, okay..' and wonder how the hell they got there...for me a lot of their late stuff has not aged well and seems silly...Tony

I feel that way about the earlier stuff; it still boggles my mind that the same guys who did fluff like "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" did Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

For me, all of the Beatles stuff holds up, except when they oddly covered a Broadway show tune, “Til There Was You” from the Music Man (in which the intro and the Robert Preston’s songs were, arguably, the real birth of “rap”).

I wish I could have seen them pre-Epstein, when they still wore leather, took speed, and danced, drank, and smoked onstage.
