Throw on any disc from this glorious box set and a fun time is guaranteed. NRBQ - High Noon: A 50-Year Retrospective I'm goin' with disc 4: Me and The Boys (1977 - 1990)
I just finished playing the bonus disc from this deluxe edition: U2 - October Such fiery Hiberno-rock! The live sound they had in they early years just blows me away. I've always liked this album a lot. Some folks might not like the supposed Christian themes in some of the lyrics, but honestly - the music and imagery is so good, that it doesn't really matter what Bono is going on about.
Papa John to pluck a little funk with some of those famous liquid fire screaming leads. All the San Fran brethren from the west throw in for this fun, sweet and excellent album including a charming cover of Over the Rainbow. What can one say about Crosby? I'll never forget seeing the Dick Cavette show where he and his west coast family, many who played on this album, turned the network studio into a 'hippie dream vegetable garden'. And played songs from his newly released, another sweet and charming record. Laughing is an all time great one.
A wonderful pair from those wonderful gypsy girls of yesteryear who both sing like angels and have lived to tell about it. Lov'em both...
Plugging in my SG with a tape echo and fuzz box and playing along to... Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Live at The Fillmore East (on vinyl)
After @posnera shared the story below I decided to get to know this album and Excitable Boy better, which has been a fun assignment. I haven’t ventured further yet but I will. Carmelita is filling the air as I write this.
Let me tell you about the time I was sitting at a computer writing a note in the ICU and clearly recognized Carmelita playing softly over the hospital's Muzak system. Strange days, indeed.
i always loved this since i got the one disc soundboard on vinyl. the twenty minute machine gun worth the gate crash
Oy, my lumbago. Between getting my wife off to work at 6 AM and her car back in the garage after work at 6:30 PM and maintaining my dog's latrine access (not to mention the legally-required frontage clearing which involved two-foot plow drifts of concrete cinder blocks), the only non-GD stuff I've been listening to has been scrape, scrape, scrape (lather, rinse, repeat). I hope y'all had a grateful day. Mine sucked.
I just asked my Maker to make your back ills go away, so you got that going for you, which is nice. Second time today!: 2009 CD remaster.
Thanks, man. Just for the record, who's your maker? I just wanna know who's pullin' for my side, don't you know.
Oh, that would be SATAN. Nah, I just used the term "maker" so as not to overly invoke religion here. Plus Mr. August West uses the term.
I always suspected that of you. Now, y'all, take some time to be quiet and ponder this. I mean, seriously shut up and listen:
I'm double posting covers here and in the Anything Neil thread. I like this album. This is worth owning if you're into Neil. I thought, "Uh oh, do I really need this," when I bought it, but I kind of did.
