i can see a light in the forest... just beyond that star - over there, just by that bush of umbilical chords...

Ach, STILL snapping jaws?!?!??

that should be A-Line - as in B-Line (it's a sighn)

Obscurantist pap. The biggest 'unhinged' decision this person will make is to avoid doing this (like the rest of us). Why do we put up with this sort of Empress' New Kimono, just because it's Japanese? No surprises here, or hear. Haven't we heard all this from the early 60s avantgardeners? There...

We've heard this hotchpotch of noise for decades now. I'm disappointed to hear something like this, improvised or not. I don't care about 'the game'. Originality should make us gasp, certainly in flourishing ideas, and collage might just be the spirit of all art(!), but something new has to occu...

@guitarmanmark -i agree with some of your comment (influence and all), and i dig Page too. But it was Graham's idea, flash, intuition, feeling and experience that generated this version of the tune. Page didn't do any of that to produce this (I'm not talking unacknowledged plagiarism here). It's...

Live by the sword, die by the sword. It's a cliche, but it's also a nightmare that millions of people in Libya are hoping to be freed from. The west, and it's 'democracy' is often no better, and may be even more hidden. Such is the human condition that has warred against itself since its mysterio...

I only recently found out about his death. Truthfully i hadn't thought about him since my teens, but did wonder one day about him. When i found out he'd died, and the circumstances of his life before then, i was deeply saddened.

This sort of nonsense makes me laugh.Like the Disney version of happiness, it's kinda sanitised cliche. This is the Disney version of 'doom' or 'angst' or whatever you felt in the 9th century, about to be eaten. This is FootPedalAnimation (FPA) - give these instruments to the guys sitting on card...

@joeyrider Yes, this is true. It's their best, i reckon too. A unique album among their releases, and indeed compared to everyone else. It's a strange hybrid, but even that word doesn't ring true - Lizard's Bolero section, Happy Family, this 'Battle' section too - arrangements, production - i'll ...

Ah, it's always good to find a great thing that hasn't had 146,853 viewings...

I agree. Nancarrow got people out of their 'easy chairs'. If one is interested in music and sound, then there's no argument with this sort of sound. It's unique. And although one can hear the odd musical motif throughout his work, none of them repeat or cover the same area of experiment or compos...

Mike D'Abo wrote some of those great singles mentioned, and i dig them greatly, but Dylan wrote Mighty Quinn...

He's great and people just don't get it, but that doesn't mean the emperor's new suit of clothes isn't in there. It's everywhere. Doesn't matter about theory, style, sound - what we are hearing is Bailey's confidence to do it. Explore the guitar in front of people or on your own. I think this is ...

I wonder what the squares in tv-land thought of this!

I happen to really love the Trout House recordings (from Grow Fins) where we hear the instrumentals unaccompanied by Beefheart vox. To hear this, one of my favourites, played with a rich full sound is different, but great. This song, one of t...

Christine Perfect singing - became Christine McVie

He certainly has his own sound. You can hear that all his pieces are from the same 'mega-piece' - from scherzo to adagio. It IS lovely music, but i'm sure i hear bits of this in 19th century music. Those bits in Beethoven (e.g., his Pastoral comes to mind...) that make us feel great but don't las...

The no-shoes don't prove it. Lennon's wearing shoes, and he's dead! ^_^

@sergiobollana - Ha! - try listening to the Goodbye Cream version - beautifully raw, together, rough and young! This is a mature version. They've all been through a lot (above) - Jack Bruce nearly died in a liver transplant only a year before this concert. Of course it'll be different. I don't ha...

@babinm - i agree about Clapton on this - i hear things he's not doing elsewhere in their live set. Maybe this is as close as he got (in Cream) to 'the blues' - that thing Jack Bruce says was 'simply a starting point' to other greater things. Here, EC is showing why he dug the blues. Having Bruce...

Great, frenzied playing. I know this version from my youth - every single second is as familiar as any Beatles' song. Listening now after so many years, i still cant understand how Jack Bruce does it - that's the magic. Baker is great, and Clapton (being a hero back then) is flying on this too. I...

It is (6th-1st) D-G-D-G-B-D, and starts with holding the 3 thinnest strings on the octave. I though it might be hard to learn until i realised it was this tuning. I've never used it before, but it'll fall into place when you try it. Lovely song, hard to sing without reverting to RW's original wa...
