39 years ago today, Alpine Valley.  We took our then-6-week-old youngest, David (he's the one in blue paisley; I'm the one in the dashiki).

Cool. I saw them open for the Stones at Rich Stadium in 1975 (With my dad, sister and brother. I was 11 about to go into middle school) and a couple more times after that. Maybe opening for ZZ Top and once as the headliners.

That 3-pickup Les Paul Custom ain't no slouch. Well... it would probably make you slouch with it over your shoulder after a while, but it sounds purty good!


Epic jam tune... all these 20-something kids around me right now are wondering what in the world I'm over here listening to. 😄

I was in attendance at many of the live performances of this ,which in variations included Phil Lesh ,Mickey Hart ,David Crosby ,Grace Slick and other musical luminaries offering their talents.I have been interested in electronic and avant-garde music for as long as I can remember .

I remember having purchased the 12" vinyl release of this while I was still in high school . I still love it ! I have acquired the CD version in recent times .

All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes - Pete Townsend

Came upon this on my mp3 player, listening with headphones and enjoying it a lot.
Recall not being impressed at all when this first came out.
Listening on headphones now reveals nice production, and great bass parts from Tony Butler.

Southern blue-eyed soul, the Box Tops' "Soul Deep".  Recorded at Ardent Memphis, produced by the great bassist Tommy Cogbill and Chips Moman, also playing on this with the late session great Reggie Young on guitar, who's curiously panned hard-right in these days when the move from Mono to Stereo was still a work in progress.  Cogbill was a great multi-instrumentalist (like Carol Kaye, easily at home on guitar or bass), and is on lots of Muscle Shoals, Memphis, and Nashville sides, where late in life he was a great mentor to the then-new-kid-in-town, the late Michael Rhodes.  Cogbill is actually the bass on Booker T's "Green Onions" before they brought in Cropper's boyhood friend, the late Duck Dunn.

I grew up on stuff like this.
