Can that lady sing or what!

I've never heard a Telecaster used on this song before, it sounds great. Those notes really ring out clear on that single-coil pickup.

Winwood is absolutely amazing! His guitar work is terrific, close to Clapton at his best in the late 60s and early 70s.

Love the tone of that bass, a Fender P-bass?

Fabulous bass and organ work in this song.

Doesn't Noel Redding almost look like Geddy Lee in this video.

This seems to have a more country flavor, perhaps because of Gene Clark's influence. I like both Jimi's version and the Leaves version. The one by the Leaves is the first one that I heard as a kid back in the mid-sixties.

Keith Moon: Yer guy with lots of attitude.

@hkyoutoob Without a doubt! His rendition of Dylan's Highway 61 is some of the best guitar work that I've ever heard.

Gotta love that drum/bass into on Rain.

Yeah, Martin Barre on lead and Ian Anderson on rhythm, both playing Les Pauls. Good tone!

Are those flat wound strings on Wyman's bass?

@getdownto311 Virtually none of the music played on these shows was live, mostly lip-synched. The Smother's Brothers show and Ed Sullivan might have actually had groups playing live instruments. I could be wrong, but that's my impression in watching these videos.

@doctorwho0077 I don't remember the XM16E having a forward bolt assist. The M!^A1 that we also used did have one, but not it's predecessor. In any case, the forward bolt assist never worked for me when my gun jammed, which was often. I almost invariably had to break the rifle down to clear the jam.

Interesting, this is very similar to the training/propaganda films that we were forced to see in Basic and AIT in 1969 when I was in the Army.

I saw this movie when I was twelve when it came out and then read the book. You can judge the movie for yourself, in my opinion it's great, but I strongly recommend the book.

@MrErnie408 Central California

Love the tone and sustain on that P-bass of David's.

@123456789034038 They're Republicans; the hell with the old, weak and sick. Get rid of the masses so that there's a larger slice of the pie for the privileged few - the rich. Greed and selfishness, it's a way of life for them.

Wow, a guitar lesson on the SG from Eric Clapton - how cool is that!

@FuckYouLetMeLogIn Many of the films and TV shows of that era were corny, in the eyes of a more modern and sophisticated viewing audience. Many of them are, nevertheless, quite entertaining and worth a watch.

Wow, I never thought that this song could get any better.

Is that Bobby Whitlock on the ivories?

In 69/70 we were using a combination of the M16A1 and its predecessor. The older version had an open 3-prong flash suppressor and no forward bolt-assist. The A1 had a closed "birdcage" flash suppressor and a forward bolt-assist. Both rifles had triangular grips and 20-round straight box magazines...

You guys are right, ?mark still looks and sounds terrific.

Needs mo go go - jus saying

Trying to describe Janis with words is like trying to describe colors verbally, the description pales by comparison to the response it evokes in one.

It doesn't look as if they're playing through the stacked Marshalls; the show's sound engineer probably had them going into the soundboard.

Janis speaks to all of us so beautifully, in her heartfelt and plaintive style that laments a life of lost love, lost aspirations and lost hope. She speaks to me from the grave to remind me of what is truly of value in this all to short of a life that we are blessed to live.

That corny Casio synth playing in the credits is a dead giveaway as to how cheesy this film is. A definite candidate for the MST 3K treatment.

The Moby Grapes - Mike you're too cute.

I agree with the others about Jack's fantastic basslines; he and Spence Dryden are laying down a really sweet rhythm section here.

Sorry about Sean Bonniwell's passing. "Talk Talk" will live on as the garage rock classic that it is.

Yeah, the guitar is outstanding.

Amazing digital dexterity.

There's no doubt that Chris Squire and Paul McCartney should rank at or near the top of any list of the best rock bassists, but to not include Jack Bruce anywhere on the list - seriously? Have you ever heard his bass intro to "Tales of Brave Ulysses"? Listen to some live Cream performances throug...

WOW

@lrh1966 That sounds like a winner! If you haven't already heard it you might like to listen to the Beatle's Mono Masters. A good digital remastering of the original mono tapes seems to reveal subtle nuances in the music, like string microphonics and crisp attack and decay transients that seem mu...

Love the tone on that bass. Was that John Paul Jones, later of Led Zeppelin, on bass?
