Back in the day, the consensus in our crowd was Baker was the best drummer around, but he didn't look like he'd last another 3-4 years. That was 40+ years ago. He's still the best drummer around and he looks like he'll be going strong for another 30-40 years. Damn resilient fellow....good for ...

@roosterinboro Bramhall's really very good; don't think you saw him at his best on this song.

@MrOldhippy1956 Wish you were here......

I got tears in my eyes when this happened 16 years ago. This is the first time I've seen it since, and I got tears in my eyes again. I was fortunate to grow up watching Ali from the beginning. I saw his greatness, I saw him villified by so many 45 years ago for standing up for his beliefs, and...

I'll never forget watching this fight. Many people think Hagler-Hearns is the best fight ever, but this one has my vote. Back and forth with tons of heart from both fighters. There shouldn't have been a loser in this fight.

@aaaredskin I was not so young then. It's true he was very controversial in the 60's; those who hated him did so mostly due to his stance on Vietnam. Many of those people eventually changed their mind on Vietnam, and then changed their mind about Ali. History has vindicated him in the minds of...

I remember listening to his fight on the radio. To listen to the announcer, it sounded like Ali was taking a beating early in the round, but when you see the video nearly all of Liston's punches were misses. At the time, I was just hoping Ali would last through the 1st round; something Patterso...

@cnh2132 Cleveland Williams died in a hit and run accident in 1999. He had been shot by a policeman sometime before the Ali fight, and was still carrying the bullet in the ring. A tremendous puncher, he was well past his prime that night. I personally believe Ali's best fight was the 1st Listo...

@exslang02 I don't know if players have gotten stronger and faster over the last 50 years or not, but I sure think the posters have gotten a lot more ignorant. I'm guessing in another 20 years some kid will be saying the same about your hero MJ that you're saying about the 60's. Hope you enjoy ...

This was not Ali's greatest fight, but it was his finest moment.

It's songs like this that make it impossible to pigeon-hole The Band. They could go in any direction, and no two songs sounded alike. The versatility, the sheer musical empathy they have for each other, the timelessness of their work, makes their music like evergreens. I've loved them for well...

@suny123boy1 The one year he finished second, in 1962, he was playing with a broken wrist.

@onlyjoetee Most say the Cleveland Williams fight was his best performance, but I think the first Liston fight was his best fight. He was faster than a middleweight that night, not only on his feet, but the reflexes were phenomenal. Watch how often Liston missed with the jab, and Liston had an ...

No way Joe Louis is #7. It's a toss-up between Ali and Louis @ #1. Jack Johnson belongs in this mix too; probably in the top 5. I would make it Ali, Louis, Holmes, Johnson, Marciano, Lewis, Frazier, Liston, Tyson, and Tunney.

@43Sublime Don't know about poster boy for MLB, but certain he cheated. Also won't assume the majority were using. Numbers don't lie. For example, who in the history of the game had more power at 38 than they did at 28? Nobody till Bonds. There were other freak numbers with some players like ...

People today are always saying athletes shouldn't be role models, and today's athletes often say they don't WANT to be role models. But look what happens when a great athlete is also a great father, a great husband, and just a very good man in life. I've watched Nicklaus since he blew the 1960 ...

I remember Jack with the Buckeyes; he was a beast in college too. All American on the 1968 National Championship team. Busted up O.J. Simpson in the Rose Bowl the entire second half.

I grew up watching Wilt, and had the chance to sit behind the backboard in '67 when they played the Cincinnati Royals (remember them?). Royals had Wayne Embry at center; a 6'8", 280 pound bruiser. Embry would lay on Wilt, trying to push him away from the basket. At one point Chamberlain made a...

@Steve2323ZX The team was named for Paul Brown, their legendary first coach, who went on to start the Cincinnati Bengals later.

After 50+ years of watching football, the only two runners I've seen that combine the power and speed of Jim Brown are Earl Campbell and Bo Jackson. Sadly, neither of them had the endurance or ability to overcome injuries that Brown had, or they might be up there with them. Campbell was a joy t...

I'm no musician, but I love music. Don't know anything about technique and won't pretend I do. But I've been listening to this guy for going on 45 years now, and he does wonderful things with a guitar. I think Tom Dowd said it best when talking about Clapton and Duane Allman doing Layla; 'they...

When we went to concerts 40 years ago and more, this is the kind of magic we hoped to see. There's nothing more to say; this was lightning in a bottle with a musical genius. I envy all those who were lucky enough to see this live, and thanks to whomever posted this for the rest of us.

@abdulhishaq1 You won't find a bigger fan of Ali the fighter than myself, but Ali touched MANY women during his career. He was a great man, but he was no saint.

Well done! Reminded me of Neil Young initially, but as it went on the phrasing reminded me more of The Band. Pretty good company, sir!

@PeterMayer I think someone else said there's another Ludlow Garage somewhere, but I was a sophomore at UC in 1970 and would have done anything to be at that concert. I think I'm better off not knowing for sure because if it were true I'd really regret it. Duane was in a league of his own and t...

@suny123boy1 I grew up watching him on tv every Sunday. In those days the Browns were the league power, and being a kid, I figured we'd always have someone like Jim Brown at FB. (yes kids; fullback was the tailback of the 50's-60's). Boy did I get spoiled back then. I've seen them all for the...

@whittierboulevard I remember hearing stories about the 2nd fight, where Liston was arguing before the fight about his cut for the match. The implication was he wasn't going to take a beating for what he was being paid. Wouldn't be surprised if the same thought process didn't go through his min...

I've been watching sports for well over 50 years now, and in all those years I've never seen any athletic achievement to compare with Secretariat's Belmont run. This is why we watch sports; to see something truly magnificent.
