Who would of thunk.
From Sea Of Bees to Nomeansno in less than 48 hours!
 
I really dig Nomeansno . . .  I like their stuff withOUT the guitar more. (Big Dick).

That video of Rob and John is neat; they're so young! Rob used the same bass for SO long...I saw it soon before he retired it at the shop I used to work at; the pickguard was brass, held on with duct tape as the screw holes were done; filled with dowels that were themselves done repeatedly...the finish on body and neck was falling off in chunks...it looked awesome but it was clearly past the point where you would rely on it on tour; I don't know if he still uses it for recording. Tom Holliston their guitar player lives    8 blocks from me so I can usually tell when they're on tour or not...Tony

Jack Casady playing his new Ribbecke acoustic bass !
 

Grateful Dead 10/17/74 Winterland San Francisco  
 
 I was there__

Fleetwood Mac - The Dance DVD (1997)  
 
Watched the whole thing again... McVie was playing a neck-through Michael Tobias, and a couple Rick Turner basses all night.

Wolf, I think it was the 10/17 show w/ the UJB second set opener.... I used to have that cassette in my car non-stop.  
UJB followed by big RxR, the race is on, etc etc... Nice He's Gone>Caution Jam.... Really good stuff!....

Mike , I am glad you liked it . The ability to rewind back 40 years with these internet recollections is really Kool ! _______

I love how this version ties it all together, and the crowds reaction at the start of each verse~
 

Yes , that is a great version . They are all having so much fun !  
 
Then there is this version , with the Bay Area in  the video !  
 
She sings swell !  
 

I have to say my preference is for Bob's original on his 'another side of Bob Dylan' album - also featuring 'Motorpsycho nightmare' which is one of my favourite songs of all time. I believe I can just about remember all the lyrics despite not having listened to it for a good few years. Might be the subject of my next 'What are you listening to' post although I've just been sent a setlit for a band I'm considering and there's not too many familiar songs on it so I'm going to be woodshedding for the next few days.

Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms, a classic from my high school years. (Dang, has it *really* been 29 years since this came out?!)
 
Anyway, I always loved John Illsley's smooth, supporting style of bass playing... uncannily like John McVie's. Listen to the similarities between Sultans of Swing and Go Your Own Way.

Neil Young kicks Clapton's ass on the solos; seriously, Clapton needs some some fire in his life, he sounds like he's sleepwalking...Tony.

Last two days in the truck - Brand X Product - some of the best fretless bass and drum jamming around.  My favorite work by Percy Jones and Mike Clark on drums.
 
And right now - Wayne Krantz (played with Steely Dan)   His new Good Piranaha, Bad Piranaha is pretty cool.  Plus I'm going to see his trio next month here in Nashville.
 
And David Pastorious and Local 518.    Check them out!
