Fall '66. Wow. I was 19, my first year at Cal, and going to the then just opened Fillmore almost every weekend. It's all but certain I was there this night; Jefferson Airplane was my favorite band that wasn't the Beatles, and, with Signe, maybe the best folk rock band i ever heard. Okay, maybe th...

@vacuumtube1954 I was fortunate to be there, October 1966, for Signe's last night. Flowers in bouquets edged the stage at the Fillmore. I wrote a song, "She Dreams of Flowers" about that night. Must have been difficult to see what happened with Surrealistic Pillow and all after that. To me, the ...

Not long after learning to play this song, we moved to Wyoming. This will always be the anthem of that treasured time in our lives.

My wife and I were married in August of 1970. This wasn't in our wedding- that was In My Life and Here, There, and Everywhere by those lads from Liverpool- but I will always associate this song with that year. We're still together and always will be. Hard to believe it's going on 42 years ago. Sh...

The Beatles were already the best before Rubber Soul, late '65. They rose to a whole new level, as this song proves. The "experts" said the lads wouldn't last a year. 41 years after they disbanded, every re-release goes to number one, and my grandchildren love their music more than anyone else's....

@HappyHooker83 you're as full of shit as a christmas goose, ho. Before I saw the movie, I had my doubts. I've seen Muddy and Walter and Etta. They did a great job, bettyblowjob.

@AlbertNongrum listen to From the Cradle or Blues for Robert J, asshat.

@Phantom3575 Yes, fascist fuck, I do see a problem. The tea potty is paid for by corporate whores, and the wall street protests (long overdue) are real people. I served in Vietnam, asshole. Our four children all worked their way through college (or got scholarships) and have great jobs. Take you...

re the broken string thing: I saw Eric sit in with Buddy Guy, Berkeley '67 during Creams first tour. He broke a string a couple songs into the first set and played uninterrupted for at least three or four more songs, and you'd never have known it if it weren't a small club (the new orleans house ...

@KnfRaw The artists didn't start or condone Vietnam. I've a vietnam vet. The music painted an alternative. WE chose poorly. More wars, more death, more middle class suffocation. Does today's music rage against that? Hell no. It poses and pimps for the corporate masters. Sure, the sixties were de...

Some great playing here, no doubt. Greatest? Uh, no. Django. Jeff Beck. Wes Montgomery. Joe Pass. Clarence White. Tony Rice. Brian May. Dwayne Allman. Manitas de Plata. A long, long iist of players. Segovia for cripes sake. Cool jam, though. Best? Not close.
