(When Eric Clapton first heard the Band, he knew he was done with Cream. “I’m in the wrong place with the wrong people doing the wrong thing,” the guitarist later recalled thinking, and he wasn’t the only one left stunned by the group’s laid-back revolution.
Synthesizing R&B, country, blues and early rock with chops seasoned by years on the road with Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan, Canadians Robbie Robertson, Richard Manuel, Rick Danko and Garth Hudson, along with their Arkansas-born drummer-singer Levon Helm - once collectively known as the Hawks, and, later on, the Crackers, made everything old-timey, rural and ramshackle seem profoundly cool. For the next eight years, they would craft some of rock’s earthiest, grooviest and most yearning sounds.

In the process, they created a new pastoral vision of rock) Circus magazine article, I think

At some point in the hazy mists of history (which at this point could, of course, mean last week.....) I read an interview whh
ere Garcia & Hunter said that their shift between Live/Dead & Workingman's Dead was inspired in part by Music from Big Pink & The Band.

One of those songs that I'd forgotten about for a (too) long time, The Little River Band, 'It's a Long Way There'.

I was always a big fan.  I've always wanted someone to clue me in as to why Australians are particularly so harmony-deep, these guys, the Brothers Gibb, etc.  This was cut in the late 70's, and I ran across one of those YouTube videos with much younger folks just discovering what we all grew up on.  This particular one was a fledgling producer in South Florida hearing this for the first time.  Of course, it's a long production, lots of twists and turns, big string parts, and the vocals are stellar.

So about two-thirds of the way through it, he pauses the playback, looks at the camera, and begins talking in utter amazement that this was cut before digital, before vocal tuning, before quantizing, only punch-ins, and is DUMBSTRUCK that people had to play in time and play and sing in tune ALL ON THEIR OWN.

Amazing.  I laughed out loud at this but then . . . . it hasn't dawned on him that you still could.

Just because.

Just because.

FOH for a band I was stage man & monitors for had a collection of 3-song break tapes; one was "Gaucho", "Hey, 19" & "Time Out Of Mind".  45 years later, any one of those comes on & I'm tuning for the 1st set on a Friday at Oscar's in Bloomington, IN.

We played Oscar's every 6 weeks - it was a great room, with great crowds, and we always kicked ass there; it was a Thus-Sat gig, so any problems were dealt with the night before, and they'd let us load out Sun PM, so 2 easy nights; my then-GF was working a Master's in harpsichord performance at IU, and lived 2 blocks away, so unlike most other gig nights I was clean, well-fed, and both recently- and soon-to-be-lai.....er, I was happy.

This puts me in a good place; thanks, Joey!

A Playing For Change vid with a difference:

Peter (who will remind one and all that Bobby was 16 when the Dead started, Steve Winwood was 15 when I sang "I'm A Man" w/Spencer Davis, and Mike Shrieve was 14 when he played Woodstock with Santana)

And I want to mention - considering blending both musical styles & vocal qualities, Mike McDonald was a much more welcome addition to Steely Dan than he was to the Doobie Bros.  Just sayin'.
