DrW Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 The French always had a fondness of the psychedelics; anyone remember Gong?

DrW Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) An interesting math tidbit: If you add a second dimension to a line, you get a square. If you add a third dimension to square, you get a cube. Now, what do you get upon adding a forth dimension to a cube? Well, it is a tesseract. Googling "tesseract" also resulted in a band of this name (once mentioned before in this thread by Pine Barrens Mafia - I have no idea how I can alert him to this thread), and I quite like what they are doing. My daughter's comment when I told her the story, "They must be nerds". Edited February 25 by DrW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met 2 people who actually did attend. My one friend told me she described it in one word. Basically Poop. She was a kid and it was a very unsanitary place and that was her main memory. The other guy VERY interesting guy. I met him in bolivia circa 1977. This guy was a guitar virtuoso professional studio musican type player. His comments were about several bands But he did say this song set the crowd on fire. As good as it sounds now it was even more intense live I'm guessing.

DrW Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) The other San Francisco band from the late 60s/early 70s: Quicksilver Messenger Service If you only have time or patience for one song, try ""Worryin' Shoes" (starting at 44:55; the given time stamps are a bit off). The interplay between both guitarists, John Cipollina and Gary Duncan, is fascinating. Edited February 26 by DrW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrW Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) And here some jam 1970 sessions of a true SF all-star line-up. Jerry Garcia (GD), Jack Casady, Jorma Kaukonen, Papa John Creach (all JA), David Freiberg (QMS/JA), John Cipollina, Nicky Hopkins (both QMS). There seems to be a question about the identity of the drummer; possibly, it is Mickey Hart (GD). Edited February 26 by DrW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) I saw this band live in Phoenix at a rock club small venue back in the 80's. I had never EVER seen an outfit as Dale Bozzio wore. Plastic bracups? whoaaaa lol. They were Great. I mean look at her. She is a rock and roll chick bad ass all the way. Husband is the drummer Terry.

OGTEleven Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 I swear the songs that don't quite make the cut on a Mark Knopfler album other than as bonus tracks are still some of the most well written and played songs to be heard.

However, I like Gong's "camembert electrique". My favorite song: "Tropical Fish: Selene". I gotta give at least rudimentary props to a band Jello Biafra refers to as "the most violent band in the world," even beyond inventing a language to sing in. I'll generally give a platter a few spins to try to digest it, and if it's too dense I quite. Many Magmas are on that inaccessible side of the knife edge but others like Üdü Ẁüdü focused in. Yeah, weird as af band. Gong, I arrived from the other direction, starting with their most fully-formed psychedic opus "You" (got it on 8-track from that one warehouse on Harlem Rd... think it was 10 cents). Being an essential, top-tier prog album of the ages is a thing; Daevid Allen reined in his goofballness and Gilli's cringe to embrace the tourniquet tightness of the band and especially Moerlen and Howlett, not to minimize Hillage and Malherbe with some crushing riff interludes, particularly side 2 (once I got the platter). It was like Hawkwind with something other than 4/4 rhythm and guys who weren't so tripping that they could actually play at the absolute highest level. That album I'll always have fond memories of being out in the fields with the 8-track blasting from the car, climbing trees and picking cherries (no metaphor, that actually happened). Edit: Continuing the story because I'm as drunk as bored. @DrW just skip to 33:20 I came to learn this was third of a trilogy, and the next I was to acquire was the first - Radio Gnome Invisible. I was... taken aback by how absolutely freakin' weird it was, yet somehow captivated. Years went by and I saw at some obscure store (probably Home Of The Hits) Angel's Egg. The missing piece, the holy grail. And in my recollection it did NOT disappoint. It was the most agressive and grabby in my view. Although these guys were still freakin mutants. (is it normal to not blink for that long?) A weird progression to be sure, and with the curse of way too much listened to, the Gong trilogy seems to track most closely (IMO) with the Foxx Ultravox epoch going from most accessible, to most aggressive, to most accomplished.

DrW Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade. While this does not qualify as entry in the "best all-star" thread, it would contribute to a "kids of all-stars" thread: Sean Ono Lennon on guitar and Harry Waters (son of Roger) on keyboards.

DrW Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 The band that defined "Americana" - The Band (although four of them were Canadians). Sadly, only one of them is still alive, Garth Hudson (organ, accordion, sax), the oldest member of the band. In the beginning (1961) Garth was paid $10 more per week for giving music lessons to the other band members. Supposedly, this was done to satisfy his parents, who could claim their son was a music teacher instead of a member of a rock'n'roll band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritBill Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 After posting Dub Be Good To Me by Beats International it got me thinking about musical links. Dub Be Good To Me was co-written by Norman Cook. Cook who was a member of The Housemartins before Beats International and after that he re-invented himself as disco biscuit hero Fatboy Slim. An added bonus of of Fatboy Slim is Christopher Walken in this video. And then, also in The Housemartins was Paul Heaton (who I've been asked if I am 2 times in my 44 years on this planet) who went on to form The Beautiful South with Jacqui Abbott.

muppy Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Bowery Ballroom ******'s 🙂 So impressed with all you do Tried so hard to be like you Flew too high and burnt the wing Lost my faith in everything Lick around divine debris Taste the wealth of hate in me Shedding skin, succumb defeat This machine is obsolete Made the choice to go away Drink the fountain of decay Tear a hole exquisite red ***** the rest and stab it dead Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore Too ***** up to care anymore Poisoned to my rotten core Too ***** up to care anymore Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore Too ***** up to care anymore Poisoned to my rotten core Too ***** up to care anymore In the back off the side and far away Is a place where I hide, where I stay Tried to say, tried to ask, I needed to All alone by myself, where were you? How could I ever think it's funny how Everything that swore it wouldn't change, is different now Just like you would always say, we'll make it through Then my head fell apart and where were you? How could I ever think, it's funny how Everything you swore would never change, is different now Like you said, you and me make it through Didn't quite, fell apart, where the ***** were you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
