Pine Barrens Mafia

From more than 50 years ago: No guitars, but strings and very primitive synthesizers (pre-Moog) - way ahead of their time, including the lyrics.

Sorry, no video - they only lasted for one LP.

Barry Gibbs "Greenfields" album where he teams up doing Bee Gees songs with Nashville stars.

 

Bee Gees are seriously underrated in their late 60's/early 70's work. Superb craftsmen of pop songs.

Grateful Dead at their peak (imo), 1989

 

 


Most concurr that The Dead’s best live show was on 5/8/77 at Cornell University’s Barton Hall.

I cannot concurr, since I did not arrive at Cornell until the Fall of 1977.

 

(Though I did see some great concerts while I was there - Linda Ronstadt, Wet Willie, The Pretenders, Warren Zevon, et al 😎)

 

Living in San Francisco from 1990-1997 gave me plenty of opportunities to see Jerry Garcia in smaller intimate venues, like this one I did attend at SF’s Warfield Theater in 1991...

 

 

 

 

When he died, it was like a President had passed...the city closed and was in mourning for a week.  That body looked a lot older than 53 years! 🍺

I saw Kingfish live in a relatively small club in Nassau County called "My Father's Place"  around that time. The Dead had split up for a while around that time. It was great "beyond description" lol.

Real Dead Fans would hate me for this but I think that Weir's work with Kingfish was at least as good as what he did with the Dead.

Damn I love this band.  Phil is one of my favorite vocalists and I love COC and Crowbar - super underrated bands (2 of the best shows I have ever seen were small COC/Crowbar shows in 2019) - Pepper and Kirk are awesome.

Dio is one one my all-time favorites and Rainbow in the Dark is one of my all-time favorite songs.

 

Watching this video for the umpteenth time and STILL cannot figure out what the what in God's name Ronnie is wearing on his feet - they look like they are pale purple ladies snow boots. I'm willing to believe the lighting may have distorted the true color and with RJD being so small in stature I don't begrudge the man a heel on his footwear, but WTF? Is this a trend that Tom Brady picked up later to sell Uggs?

Some of you know that, back in 2013, I was disgnosed with hepatic carcinoma (iiver cancer).  Well, oh

boy, I don’t mind telling you that I was mighty pissed off - especially when I lost my brother to the disease in September of that year.  
 

i went ‘away’ for a while; some of you wondered, “What happened to ‘The Senator’ ?”

 

Well, Roswell Park was ‘fixing me’; they’ve continued fixing me.  They’ve done a fantastic job but, on February  12 (a month ago), they found a new tumor on the left lobe, and this became my anthem once again...

 

PLEASE - AGAIN - NSFW

Covers of the Beatles' "Help". Bananarama's version does not offer anything new, except that they look good in the video. The most memorable fact (IMHO) is that one of the backing vocalists is Jennifer Saunders of "Absolutely Fabulous" fame.

 

 

Deep Purple make it "heavy", using the Vanilla Fudge approach - slow it down, add some organ.

 

 

Cathy Berberian's baroque version

 

 

And finally, Australian singer John Farnham, with the Elton John approach.
