I like dance mixes for low impact exercise. calorie burn and FUN. #workout BTW: in Phoenix AZ did you ever by randon chance hear of a band called Marty Mitchell Band?

I had an old Marantz tube amp and advent tower speakers and would turn it up about half way (any louder it would of shook the windows loose) any way this cut reminded me as a cross between that album and Nazareth's version of the ballad of hollis brown. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL btw I am NOT a twerker choice was for sheer comedic value. The stones show I have 2 great stories from that night again true. scalpers lost their shirts..they bought up a lot of the tickets and when it was sold out people decided oh well.....I was in line had my tickets and I hears $10.00 for a ticket...people were I guess cell phones..anyway word got out there were cheap seats at the gate and it went full George Thorogood and the delaware destroyers were 2nd act. some jackhole pegged him in the head with a bottle he had to go off stage and be stitched up and came back to the stage in a biker hement swearing ike a sailor Stones were running late like 3 hour wait between sets. It ends up the had this major fireworks display and they wanted dark plus organizing the floozies.....Mick came out in his football pants and he could sense the crowd needed woken up. so Dude decides to take off RUNNING from the stage to the top row of tempe sun devil stadium and back..no security just Running and the crowd went NUTS just watching hin climb and run those steps UP. marty Mitchel very interesting guy. He made the Grand Ole Opery at 12 years old. went on to form a country rock band with originals and covers...brother in law was sax player (clarence clemmons high harmonics) he could wail and it was a perfect fit I remember when he passed away they played a bunch of Bruce and E Street band, I really was never a big Bruce fan, but he did have an excellent band.

When I do peruse the vinyl (I have about 1000 albums) I listen on my old pioneer solid state amp and klh bookshelf speakers, so hardly the same.

gdabillsfan Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Just a side note, my 1st encounter with Nazareth came as they were the opening band for Deep Purple in 1974, at a concert at the Rochester War Memorial. Those bands were so loud my ears were ringing for a week. No wonder the wife says I don't listen to her when she talks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdabillsfan Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 2 hours ago, Muppy said: get the ***** outta here LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Ditto. I was There! I was 14 years old and we (me and eldest sister Kathy) drove to try to get scalper tickets ZILCHO. But I saw the marquise I was THAT close dangitttt lol #truth college roommate saw him on the darkness on the edge of town tour back in the 70s an she was Obsessed with Bruce. I understood it better after I saw him in PHX, the power went out...and dangit if he didnt still play a 4 1/2 hour show #Fact Well, that's just amazing, too bad you didn't get in you missed a good show. I grew up across the river and about a 1/2 mle down the road from the war Memorial. If I knew you back then, I could of shown you how to sneak in the back where the bands and their guests entered, because that's what we did. Apparently we are the same age and when you were 14 back then you couldn't get a real job, so you were relegated to being a moocher or sneaking in. When I was older and had a job I would always pay for a ticket, I mean concert tickets were only like 6-7 bucks back then anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdabillsfan Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Another great show in 74 was Weather Report and Earth Wind. And Fire.(that show the people I went with bought my ticket). I didn't know that I liked jazz until that show. Weather Report was awesome, and. EW&F (who I knew and. I wanted to see) totally blew me away. It was one of the best concerts i had ever seen. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdabillsfan Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 31 minutes ago, Muppy said: of all the youtubes posted I loved the New Orleans R&B sound that was awesome! zappa is a fooking genius he had 2 backing musicans for a while a couple Terry and Dale Bozzio who went on to create a band called Missing Persons. I saw them in club in Phoenix. She the singer he the drummer Fabulous. The New Orleans music scene is unique across all genres. I never fully appreciated it until recently, there are a bunch of taleted musicians down there. Here's a video of a band we found a few years ago, the wife and I really liked. Terry Bozzio was an awesome drummer,(Zappa always had the best musicians). One of my favorite Zappa albums was live at the Fillmore.(1971) I liked the banter between him and Frank, during the whole groupie routine, it was totally hilarious. I have actually found myself through the years quoting snippets from the routines on the album. You either get a nod from those who know it, or that "what's a matter with that guy" look if they don't. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrW Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 A folk/rock/indie band from Iceland (total population 370,000). Of Monsters And Men bear similarities to the most famous Icelandic band, the Sugarcubes. Front woman Nanna Bryndis even looks like Bjork's younger sister... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO BILLS Im enjoying this to no end mateys :-))))) outstanding!!!!!!!!!!! I am digging on the SRV and BB tunes. My wife is a huge Prince fan, me not as much, but I am impressed by his showmanship, and his prowess as a musician though. It was kind of funny the reaction from our daughters, when Prince passed. They both called their mother, within minutes of each other, to console her as if she had lost a close family member. She had already heard about his passing and it wasn't all that for her. I mean she was sad of course, but their concern for her emotional well being astounded me. I asked the girls later why they felt she would be that distraught, and they informed me of her obsession with Prince while they were little (before my time in the family, so I never knew about it) the next day I went out and got her a Prince t-shirt that she wears all the time. On a side note: this thread has me shuffling through old albums, and seeking out youtube vids as representations of favorite songs from these albums. Here's a live version of one from Pink Floyd's UmaGuma album 28 minutes ago, Muppy said: there is a cool story behind MGMT and specifically their guitar / keyboard player James Richardson. He was a roommate of Loren Humphreys (Ted) and my son for a time. Band members will sometimes sit in as touring musicians with other bands like side gigs. So Nate was playing with a band again with walter and this time Simon *bass player) from MGMT. He had on a really cool t shirt I remember and I wasnt familiar with the band MGMT..so anyway he crashed on our floor on a king size air mattress and the next day I drove em to the airport to return to NYC James Richardson was in town playing that same gig with a black gibson les paul ICONIC guitar it was beat up but still gorgeous. The guy forgets to take it with him and left it at the venue SMH so my husband had to drive to the venue to pick it up and keep it at our house....That guitar sat in nates room for a year lol Finally I was asked to please ship it fedex ground back to NY would be reimbursed fees TYVM. I did. The next time they toured san diego we had primo family of the band seats, and a special backstage birthday party for James. I met his parents and he had delicious cake LOL anyway this was the show I saw the first time really hearing this band. and james told me for doing him such a favor we had lifetime guest list spots in san diego SWEET. Now that's a cool story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the one that hit me the hardest was Tom Petty. In 1979 he was the BOMB all the cool chicks loved Tom and with them come the guys. right?.he was so beloved and sorely missed by many many. Weve lost a lot of great artists. Not to get maudlin . Going through your albums is awesome we have limited here at the house nate absconded with a lot of them haha m I liked Petty when he was with the traveling wilburys (they were a great band) here's one of my favorites. The empty rocking chair was for Roy Orbison right after he passed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what type of music you like - If you don't see SRV playing and just go "wow!" you might be dead. Music just flowed out of him through his guitar - not sure I can describe it any other way. I'm a huge fan of one of his protégés - Gary Clark Jr. So bummed I didn't get to see him when the pandemic cancelled his tour. Check out this clip, especially when he starts to go off at about 3:30 in... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
