    Delaney & Bonnie & Friends with Eric Clapton, "Things Get Better [Fairfield Halls 12/7/69 (1st Show)]"

    These guys were definitely the Tedeshi Trucks Band of their time. :hurl:

    Sorry, I'm a bit surly tonight.

    Shifting gears quickly--Thee Oh Sees, Live In San Francisco.

    This more aligns with my mood at present.

    Actually, they're billed as OCS on this one. Hazy acid folk songs.

    "The Baron Sleeps And Dreams" and "On And On Corridor," just killer.

    His early 80s records are great. I have two or three on wax.

    Six, 1973.
    The debut of yet another Soft Machine line-up (the next album would feature a different one, of course!). The first two sides are live recordings and the rest are studio tracks. The bass line on "Riff" reminds me a bit of the classic bass line of King Crimson's "Starless" (which was written the following year).

    Based on this track from the aforementioned box set, I really need to explore this band’s stuff. However, their discography is so massive that I don’t know where to start.

    The Legendary Pink Dots
    “Waiving at the Aeroplanes”

    Shag it up shag it down, this yonder mountain...

    On a cold winter morning I could look up in the sky
    And I could see the wild geese fly
    And on a warm spring day I could look up in the air
    And I could see the yellow butterfly.

    I'd recommend Tanglewood Numbers next, when you're ready to explore more. Some of his happier, almost giddy material is on there, although also a fairly harrowing song at the end that is more portentious than it seemed at the time. As on American Water, Malkmus plays great guitar throughout on that one, too.

    I forgot that this one exists. I need to track down a copy, never got around to picking it up back in the day.

    Taking a break from '74 Dead. After watching the Netflix doc on the music of Laurel Canyon (Echo in the Canyon) figured I'd give this a spin...

    I just watched that this weekend. I was disappointed. It seemed more like a glorified promo for Jakob Dylan’s concert than anything else.

    I thought it had some good moments historically speaking and the interviews with original artists were cool but the concert and newer artists take on things brought nothing to the table. Pretty much every remake sucked the life out of the original, especially if Jakob was singing. I mean Jakob is fine for what he does on his own but he's way over his head in this arena.

    Most opinions that you’ll read about this band state that their fourth album was a big drop in quality from the first three. Not for me. I think that it’s just as brilliant as the first three.

    Finishing off the night with some Giant Sand. A favorite that I used to listen to all the time but not recently.
