WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO NOW?

Rick Beato interviews Tony Levin.  (New album coming out).

Just finished watching this.  Very enjoyable!  Thanks for posting.

You are welcome Dave.

Today at work I started singing this one… people thought I was nuts.  1974 wasn’t that long ago was it?
The outro on this live version is nice.

Well, be sure your dive into the amazing Ms. Ronstadt includes the live version of "Willin'" from Atlanta 1977.

The Midwest university-town club scene in the early '80s was dominated by Vanessa Davis Band, Big Twist & The Mellow Fellows, and Duke Tumato & The All-Star Frogs; here's the only one of them I didn't work for:

Duke's real name is Bill Fiorio; he was the original guitarist in REO (and Richrath was definite downgrade......)

Thanks again 

I agree completely, saw REO early 80's,   

Gary was nothing to write home about

'Tumatoe said, "It became more and more obvious that we weren't meant to play together...they're really hard-working people. I have nothing but good things to say about them."

Well, he did tell me that when told them he was leavingv to become Duke Tumatoe, thye prevailed upon him to stick around and teach Richrath his parts.
Took 6 months...........

Peter (who will add that Duke's stage man, the late, great Marty Ficardi, was a dear friend and a damn good roadie)

I searched myself and the keyword for curiosity's sake. I've posted that same "Willin'" from Atlanta '77 four different times going back to April 2016 when I was learning it for a 4/20 show with HGB. And each time I posted it, I made similar comments about how much I liked the band. A couple times I mentioned her funny/wry/shy intro.


Guess I really don't have much new to say. The "Tumbling Dice/You're No Good" from that same show is hot too, but I'm pretty sure I said that too.

[edwardofhuncote]

What the heck, it's a great jam... here's how you close out a show.

[cozmik_cowboy]

I think I may have posted this one before - but right now I'd rather repost than go looking to be sure.

I had heard the legend of when Pentangle opened for James Taylor in Ithica NY 1970

Not even to mention their FAB performance among the veritable "who's who" of music royalty at the "Isle of Wight" fest, also 1970!

Real bass wow here, 

listen with headphones
