Soda Stereo: They refused to play a completely unplugged set. In fact the show was aired with the "un" prefix crossed out. A brilliant set.
Listening to Sheer Heart Attack right now and now I’m fantasizing about how awesome a Queen Unplugged set would have been.
To me the three you mention are the peak of post 1980s Dylan. I like Love and Theft and on, but each was a progressive step down for me from Time Out of Mind (although a Tempest is better than Together Through Life). Time Out of Mind is a top 10 in his catalog for me.
Welcome to the flip side! (Or the upside down, if you are a Stranger Things watcher). I get at least as many good listening ideas abs as much good conversation here as in the Grateful thread. Good and diverse tastes abound here. And also mine.
I think it's quite fantastic. McCartney and Ringo sounds so powerful together. I hope they remix all the old albums so that we can hear the instruments better. I wouldn't mind hearing more of Lennon's rhythm guitar on the first records for example
When it comes to unplugged Alice in Chains>Pearl Jam>Stone Temple Pilots>Nirvana if we are talking about grunge bands in general Alice in Chains>Pearl Jam>Soundgarden>Stone Temple Pilots>Nirvana No band in the history of rock was more overrated than that band at the end of both of these lists
I worked at Starbucks shortly after Clapton's unplugged came out. A co-worker frequently sang a parody of Layla that had something to do with Happy Love and Poking Brown. Use your imagination. It provided endless chuckles when we closed the shop at 1 am
I can't say that I agree, but we all have our preferences, and that's a beautiful thing. For me: Nirvana>Pearl Jam>Soundgarden>STP>Alice in Chains Over time though, I've come to enjoy the UK bands and scene of the era more than the Seattle ones.
When she said, "Don't waste your words, they're just lies, " I cried she was deaf. And she worked on my face until breaking my eyes, Then said, "What else you got left?" It was then that I got up to leave But she said, "Don't forget, Everybody must give something back For something they get."
I'd like to hold my head up and be proud of who I am / But they won't let my secret go untold / I paid the debt I owed them, but they're still not satisfied / Now I'm a branded man out in the cold
Nice... I have gotten through the '66 tour with the Hawks in the book, The Band Pioneers of Americana Music, more of a quick read, but nonetheless has some interesting history and stories. I marvel at the musical training that Garth Hudson started at the age of 4 or 5: theory, chorale training in classical, I could go on, but according to the author quoting Garth's mates, he taught the guys, thereby making them much more astute in musicianship, craft and arrangements... the guy was and is a gem in the musical world. I even got to see him perform about 25 yrs ago with Rick D and Levon H and the rest of the band in a small venue... an amazing night. I was very happy about that. The 2000 remasters-purchased upon release (which I'm quite fine with):
Welcome - just in case you’d like to know this, your brother was a regular contributor to this thread too; you’ll find a lot of old posts from him here.
Of course Thank you, guess a thread like this would have been just his thing. He probably posted a lot of things to seemingly annoy or upset anyone hip or snobbish. Lots of hair ans extreme metal or pure pop I would have guessed. And a lot of acclaimed stuff as well. Think I've posted in this thread before but was a bit under the weather last night. Quite a few good thing happened builing up to this weekend (yes, the Beatles too) after quite a rough patch lately, culiminating a wonderful opportunity for my firm that we managed to seal a deal on yesterday. So we had to celebrate in style (at least before I got home and opened the tequila at around 22 PM). Seems that I bought myself this little beauty as well , only had the two disc version before. Always been a favorite volume and what better way to find out you have used your credit card during the night. Best regards, HTRL
I've always considered those early 90's acoustic records to be great, as well as important. Time Out of Mind was an immediate hit in the ears, a complete 'blow me away' release. Love and Theft was terrific, saw the tour, but not a title I play as much. Now Modern Times, that took some work, but when it finally clicked for me, and I saw my own 'big picture' in the record as I can only do (like everyone, the pleasure lies in the joy of an individual's interpretation). I've harped on this a few times--forgive me the browbeating. The sound of the record, the arrangements, the music and words eventually stole the face right off my head, a considerable achievement, among the many for the artist.
I love this one. Back in 2002, getting a 2-cd set of previously unreleased material seemed a lot. Nowadays, archival releases tend to be more... let's say "ganrgantuan".
Mick Ronson on guitar^^^. I stepped out with my lovely wife last night and saw the Chris Robinson Brotherhood (CRB, for you freaks) at the 9:30 Club in DC. They played the Rolling Stones' "Sweet Virginia" for the encore.
