muppy Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) ahh yes the naked 11 year old album cover picture. I had a Y camp counselor call me "Blind Faith"once at that same age. It wasn't until I got home and found out what that meant I was creeped Out. I resembled her . SMH Edited March 25 by muppy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Who are coming up often and rightly so. This is the one track ever written for the band not penned by the band themselves. It was written by Townshend's pal/roadie/chauffeur/hanger-on Speedy Keen, kicking off the 1967 (!!!) Sell-Out album. And here's the tie-in on your 1969 theme: Speedy would eventually join a band put together by Townshend (who played bass on the track under the pseudonym Bijou Drains) and have this monster #1 chart hit - something the Who never got close to, incidentally.

Wacka Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) George Harrison visited Haight-Ashbury once. He was disgusted with all the waste products walking around there. I lived in the Bay area close to 20 years, Hasn't changed, just spread to the whole city. Edited March 24 by Wacka 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevWarRifleman Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 My God, what a great thread!!!! I went through high school in the 60's and these songs I remember dearly. It was a "fast" decade because so many things were changing & the rock music was at the head of those changes. Rebellion was the thing. I grew up in Western NY so naturally, I'm a Bills fan. But, for my senior year in baseball, I painted my spikes white as a tribute to the rebellious Joe Namath. Go Bills!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 check out his backing band. Every one honored to share the stage with this legend I'm sure. Pretty Woman was written in 1964 I googled. This concert was filmed as part of a documentary of Roy Orbison https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Orbison_and_Friends:_A_Black_and_White_Night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Something In The Air" which you just posted right after a Who post made me tear up. . Thank you for the gift. beautiful sweet sounding song from back in the day fits my mood . I love how music can minister to us sometimes. that's a great backstory too. m Edited March 27 by muppy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy "Thunderclap" Newman's piano solo is what carries "Something In The Air" for me. Here is a live version. Newman looks as if he is from a different generation than the others, although he was only 27 when the clip was recorded. Their follow-up single, "Accidents", was also a success in he UK. The lyrics are much darker. Edited March 27 by DrW 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Time for me to put in a plug for my favorite podcast ever: https://500songs.com/ A ridiculously ambitious project of one guy, Andrew Hickey. Even if you thought you knew the history or rock music front-to-back you'll learn things. For example, I never knew about his guy till I heard one of his paid bonus (1 buck a month!) episodes: Jackson C. Frank, from Buffalo, a survivor of the horrific Cheektowaga school fire (something else I never knew about even though it was not that long before my time). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 my daughter who is a classically trained singer shares with me that in this song Janis *splits* her voice into 2 octaves in one musical phrase. That alone is remarkable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
