Talk about a moment of synchronicity ... they are playing Right Now at the tailors .... ROCKING OUT TO THIS BADBOY RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!!
There's a cartoon called Metalocalypse that has a character called Dr Rockso: He's a rock and roll clown who does a lot of cocaine. (If hard pressed, I guess I do like DLR better than Hagar, but apart from 'Jump,' which my babysitter turned off my He-Man cartoon to watch on MTV, I grew up with Van Hagar so it's not like I hate any of that stuff. My brother was really into DLRs solo albums that were popular at the time. It's close.)
Beefheart I'm Gonna Do What I Wanna Do, live at My Father's Place Roslyn NY 1978. The sound quality on this is excellent, I think the best of his live albums. Really excellent set, and stands out compared to other live recordings due to Bruce Fowler's presence on trombone, which really pumps up the sound.
I put the OP on my ignore list, right alongside the two clowns who started "I don't get the Grateful Dead" threads. **** 'em. When you do that the threads they start disappear also. Win-win.
I’m frankly stunned that anyone would like Sammy better than Dave. Dave helped build that band. Can you imagine if they had started with Sammy instead? But whatever, VH was a band from my adolescence and after listening to them today I think there they shall remain. They were the first rock concert I attended so I will always have fond memories of that.
Dylan stuck with original tale, but did play around with the words to fashion his own style I guess. Cash knew of the song, but turned it into a tale different and wholly his won, as you mentioned, including his first take of the song in '62. And this according to Wilentz, who covers quite a few pages of detail and history on this southern dark gothic story: a young volatile relationship gone about as bad as it goes. His '94 version was pretty popular for a short time, but I vaguely remember the video making the rounds with model Kate Moss in the principal role.
My God, for just a little bit I thought this was an argument about Frankie Goes to Hollywood. In one of the posts, the word 'frankly' and Pleasuredome threw me off. My sincere apologies to you both as I've been confused today, and now feel like a foolish toolbag, who wasn't paying attention.
I've got you covered with updates! That Pink Floyd drugs guy's handle was John Dosage, so something was up with that. It looks like they merged this months 'I don't get the Dead' thread (which appears to be genuine) with December's, which was a hit and run. I love those 'I don't get the GD' threads both for the off-base responses of detractors as well as gems like these: I also find it interesting that there are at least a couple of members who don't like their music but find their history etc. fascinating, and also a population of fans that like their studio albums but not the live performances etc. I do always find a couple of new candidates for the ignore list by reading them though.
My favourite psychedelic concept album from the era of antecedence, "S.F. Sorrow" by The Pretty Things - the original studio album from 1968. I've got the 2018 Madfish label CD reissue of the stereo mix : The Pretty Things - S.F. Sorrow with the singles-sides "Defecting Grey", "Mr. Evasion", "Talkin' About Good Times", and "Walking Through My Dreams" tacked on as bonus tracks. This record is truly mind-blowing, it's sad that there's a Repertoire label 2010 CD reissue out there that was remastered with criminally-crushed dynamic range which could easily put some people off and cause many to miss out on the true beauty of this masterpiece. Reminder to self and readers: Always consult the Dynamic-Range Database to search (function in the drop- down menu) for entries to locate the best remasters of classics that are restored from analog tapes of antiquity. And of course, search the threads on this forum for comprehensive discussions on SQ ! Album list - Dynamic Range Database
