With killer dubbed audio. Really nice to see the Bruce play guitar on prove it all night, at the 38 min mark... @posnera
Interesting--how often does/did he play lead? I'm not really a fan, but from what I've seen (and the fact you pointed it out) I had the impression he doesn't do it much, but his fingers are in pretty good shape to be playing those runs.
He was the lead guitarist up to '84. But the E street band was never a guitar band like TP&Heartbreakers.
I didn't know that. Neither--I didn't realize TP and the H were a "guitar band" in the sense it seems you are implying.
I know the '77 "In the Flesh" Pink Floyd tour was Animals-based, but it is the WYWH set that I love the best.
Tony Malaby Quartet in ~ 3-1/2 hours Malaby on tenor and probably soprano saxophones Michael Formanek on double bass Marc Hannaford on piano (new to me) Randy Peterson on drums 2 sets - will be right in front of Big Guy who will be driven by the awe-inspiring bass drum combination of Formanek & Peterson. Look forward to some way out there improvisations by the band and especially the saxophone giant.
Today I picked up the 2012 MoFi Hybrid SACD of Miles' 'Four' & More. This release compiles the up-tempo tracks from the two shows his band did at Carnegie Hall on February 12, 1964 (for the record, My Funny Valentine compiles the slower tunes/ballads from the same two shows, but I don't think there's a MoFi of that). It was a decent price and the sound is top notch. The playing is even better.
Here's one of my favorite things on the 'Tube: Fairport Convention, live in TV in 1970 when Richard Thompson was still in the band.
What an embarrassment of riches the UK music scene gave us in 1968 - 1972 (or thereabouts). If you don't know the music of Blodwyn Pig, you should. Mick Abrahams left Jethro Tull after their first LP to form the band. The their two LPs are excellent (especially the first one, Ahead Rings Out). Here's the great non-LP single "Same Old Story":
Family was so good. King Crimson fans may note that John Wetton plays bass (and occasional vocals) on the 1971 LP Fearless.
Speaking of King Crimson, I was enjoying this classic album in the car yesterday: McDonald and Giles It's my favorite of the 1969 - '71 era King Crimson projects. If you have all the early KC albums, but are missing this one - you best correct that ASAP.
I apologize for hijacking the thread, folks. Hey, it's easy to get carried away! I guess I was just in a sharing mood. Here's one last folk-rock gem: McGuinness Flint - "Conversation"
