Mose Allison live at the AQ

[26095]

Lucky enough to have had a B&B with him at one of his gigs at the old AQ, when it was across the river. I like the new one better.

Mose Allison and Tom Waits once shared a bill...early seventies, I believe.

Saw Mose & Tom Waits together in Madison, WI in 1979. Outstanding night.

that would be one bad fuckin Jam!

Saw this man in concert 10 years ago. Never forget it. A great musician, wonderful songwriter and a true gentleman. Thanks for posting.

I've loved Mose from the first time I heard him - especially his songs and his singing style. Simple, but certainly not simple-minded. The soul of the man shines through his music. Wish there were more like him around. waylandn

I feel the same way! Do you know others like him-by chance??

genius

You know, it can't get much better than this. And silly little me who thought his fifties and sixties period was the best. I should have known better! I'm almost in tears of joy and respect of him and his music by watching this. It's just amazing. What a guy!!

Seen him four times: twice in Monterey, and twice in Santa Cruz, in the last twenty years. Though he comes to the Monterey Bay Area every year, he has not been invited to the Monterey Jazz Festival, or Blues Fest, which is criminal! Tom Waits also has never been invited either, from what I know. Both need to be at the Monterey Jazz Festival, and their board better get over their snob attitudes! Jazz just isn't Dizzy, and he's been dead for awhile, or Brubeck!

HOTTY TODDY!!!!!

Voice is not that great but the ability in his musicianship is amazing and truly fantastic. When a musician is that good the voice only plays a small part in the songs.

I don't mean any offense, but I couldn't disagree more. Mose has a unique style and THAT is something to value. Interestingly, check out Nellie McKay "The Dog Song" and see if she doesn't remind you of Mose

[brewereric]

Wow this is like a soundtrack from my child hood. must have been 12 yrs old before i found out he was a blue eyed canadian lol

[donberryman]

Not quite Canadian, Mose was born in Tallahatchie County, Mississippi and went to college at the University of Mississippi and Louisiana State University. But you got the blue-eyed part right :-)

Gets me expecting Mort Sahl or Lenny Bruce to come on next.
