oops, just saw another, similar quality clip of "Eli" from this show.

cool flanging!! wooosh!!!

also- "Village Recorder(s)" studio was in West LA, not San Francisco. and EC most likely did record there in 1970 or so. But probably not with Neal Schon. "After Midnight" from his pre-Layla 1970 solo album shows a Village Recordrer credit. imho.

@NewMexGuy0 i admire these guys a lot, LOVE the songs they wrote. their songs did power major sales for others. but the ones they released as artists didn't sell anywhere near that. Mann & Weill wrote the most widely played song of the 20th Century- "You've Lost That Lovin Feeling" and other tune...

Fwiw, 'prolific' doesn't mean good or great. It refers to quantity (a LOT), not quality. Elvis C was very prolific in his early years and in remains so. In the his case the songs were (mostly) good, better and frequently great. I bet he still writes a ton and would be releasing CDs of new materia...

all Beatles songs are the best. oh wait..(almost) every one has pointed this out:) the Beatles only had 2 kinds of songs, those released as songs and those released on albums. all were great and all have been heard plenty by fans. the singles were heard more back in the day due to radio. certa...

Fagen sang lead on the hit record. His voice double-tracked was eerie-yet- catchy sounding at the time, imho. Apparently DF didn't have confidence that he could be The lead vocalist for Steely Dan when they organized the band- though he sang all their early demos (found on unofficial releases). S...

the jazzy interlude from 2:29 to 2:44 is just part of the tune...as are other change ups. The Sons followed their heart, always

this was (and is) such a beautiful, sad and powerful tune. Dion wrote and released it as we were all still in shock over the assassinations in 1968.. We live in troubled times again but can sort of see the enemy (at home) now. We couldn't then, at least not at the time. It was just "Them". imho

Felix kicked bass on the hammond pedals. Always did...Steve Winwood did the same in early Traffic live. Doesn't come across much on tv clips but it's there. Great performance here. The production on the hit single (horn section playing hooky R&B liines, tight harmony vocals) isn't here but they...

Emily shines on Joe Pass's 'ok play me 4 minutes of 8th note lines over these changes" test:) and yes she swung hard, played with great musicality and taste- and she is missed

@XXXavavaXXX0 it took me about 10 seconds after hearing the echo to realize it wasn't Mayall's voice or the ECs exact guitar licks. Guitar tone is nice, though it might be a strat. and the player struggles (chokes:) on some licks in the middle. Proof in the pudding is the uploader's truthful labe...

Roy was playing great guitar all from the late fifties through the 60s before getting national attention via a 1971 PBS special. Pretty sure Joe was already well on his way by then, James Gang etc. I doubt either guy influenced the other much or at all. Both great players, totally different appro...

sounds like someone added echo to this track. if so, shame. should leave the classic tracks alone. Mayall and EC would have added echo if they wanted it

Back in the day- when Cream was intact and for a few years after- Jack Bruce's star shined brightly. Sure EC was the guitar hero, but Jack got a lot of press too. Rightly so.

yes they were better in 1972/3...ya gotta put it into perspective. 1969 = the stones returning to their bluesy roots (after a few years away chasing psychedelia and the Beatles) becoming the Stones most of us know and love. When they came back to live shows, Cream, Hendrix, Led Zep, the Who etc h...

Thanks for sharing this. Have slid tunes from this great Larry holiday disc into mixes for years. No longer have easy access to the CD so can't see the track listings. Fwiw, Terry Trotter Always played Fender Rhodes with Larry the many times I saw LC from the late 70s through the early 90s. On LC...

always like to hear this one, but it's pretty much the studio recording with screams dubbed in

this is a rock and roll tune, just produced up for a (fine) singer working the Nashville side of the tracks. Back when Colin did this one, rockin the country was a new thing. Now it's the way half the tunes on country radio are- which is fine with me. Anyway, change that fiddle into a harmony e...

It's from the latter part of 1980s, but who's counting:) As some have mentioned, this tune - co-written by wonderful songwriter/artists (MaryAnne) Kennedy- (Pam) Rose, is so non-trad country or commercial Nashville country...that it easily crossed over into the pop charts during a time when Micha...

Re; the ongoing 'best tone' horserace/debate: Derek has the sound- and style he wants. Duane was an all-time great and there's a bit of him in many electric slide players playing. Derek is his own player. Comparisons are going to be there due to the Allman Bros gig for sure, but he's a doing his ...

Jeff Beck retired this one for several years. too much of a fan favorite, though- it was back on his 2011 set list. Band in this clip is AMAZING. Lee and Mike both world class and am loving see rocking the les paul, because it does make him rock-imho. First saw noticed him on an LP this past year...

I read an interview years ago where Terry Kirkman said he couldn't sleep one night, got up to get a glass of milk and-boom!- the hook/song idea just came to him. He grabbed a guitar or sat the piano or something and the tune was finished in half an hour. I imagine arranging the vocal harmonies in...

Patty and her music is 'now'...just that most of these songs were released today, they'd get played on country radio. That's where this kind of rock gets played these days. Hip hop and dance pop own t-40 radio now.

times change, radio formats change. a good singer and good song live on

this performance is fine. the vid itself is a bit out of sync... still fine and glad it got posted.. this led to a nice Shania tv special if i recall correctly. it was a good move on Shania's part to have the excellent Alison and Union Station back her in an 'unplugged' kind of setting. As far a...

This song has plenty of melody, imho. It was the best pop song to come out last year in my book, and I'm not a LGaGa fan. Loaded with melodies and hooks including has cool European-sounding riffs that Beck plays heavy.

While I missed a couple of classics at the show I saw here, I thought Bad Ro...

@SuperPititis - ok it's footage over a great recorded cover. AND (the main part of my post) "the Stones and Johnny Rivers (and Beatles) brought Chuck's music to the next generation back in a time when that wasn't easy to do. imho, ymmv"

when I was a kid in the 1960s, Chuck's great tunes were f...

Sounds killer!! So did you keep the two-rock? (haven't been on TGP for awhile)

Mike and Robben supposedly working on a new CD together. They were scheduled to play here in Nov but show was postponed..

Paul and John obviously loved Buddy, as big an influence on them/The Beatles as any 50s rocker, maybe the biggest. They may have picked up a bit where he left off - at least on the more melodic stuff, but then they took things and ran into other musical universes - as they had the time to do so. ...
