First album I ever bought.

Absolutely.  Blues roots which spread out like an exotic plant and flower everywhere.

Ah, someone else who's been impacted by this song.  Growing up in the American midwest with nowhere to go this song (and the entire album) inspired me to fantasize about existence in tropical places.  And so many years hence here I am!!  Thank you, Leon!

 

Little Hideaway off of that same glorious '75 LP, Will O' The Wisp.  I've found my little hideaway.  Goes by the name of Thailand.

Does anyone else hear the Stones Love In Vain on this Ry Cooder track?

 

 

Actually, Love In Vain is an old Robert Johnson tune.  I'm cheatin' here as this is a Stones version recorded in '95 but it's too damn good not to post.

 

 

Creedence Clearwater Revival with the extended version of I Heard It Through The Grapevine as it appears on their '73 Cosmo's Factory LP.

 

 

John Lee Hooker, Carlos Santana, Elvin Bishop and Etta James recorded live 18 July '86 at the Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA.  While the vid claims "full concert" it ain't.

 

After a short intro by Bill Graham they dive into Blues Boogie Jam followed by Something's Got A Hold On Me and ending with Tell Mama.

Deep Purple's performance of Lazy during their '72 Machine Head album tour in Scandanavia.

 

 

Rare Earth with the full version of I Know I'm Losing You off of their '70 Ecology LP.

 

 

Well, I'm sure this one hasn't been played in quite some time but it should be played at least once a year.  Iron Butterfly's classic In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, the title track of their '68 LP.  And of course it's the full length version.  I wouldn't cheat anyone, ya know . . . 

 

 

What a masterfully perfect psychedelic song In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was.  If that wasn't enough for ya here's a 22 minute live version from 16 April '71 on the Jazz Beat show.  Not sure what this song has to do with jazz but hey . . . 

 

 

Another ultimate psychedelic song that needs to be played at least once a year.  The Chambers Brothers Time Has Come Today off of their '67 The Time Has Come LP.  And again, full length version . . . no skimping.

Another classic psychedelic full, album length version Get Ready off of Rare Earth's '69 Get Ready LP.  Geezus, they just don't make music like this these days.  When have you ever heard a crowd cheering a drum solo?  Young pikers just have no idea . . . 

 

 

Edited January 21, 20206 yr by Tippaporn

And the masters of psychedelic music, Pink Floyd with the 23 minute Echoes number off of their unforgettable '71 Meddle LP.

 

 

Rare Earth with another classic, the 17 minute version of Ma, the title track off of their '73 LP.  Sorry if I keep nagging everyone by continually reminding to raise the volume on these songs.  But it is critically important, ya know.

 

 

Hooker 'n Heat . . . from Wiki:

 

Hooker 'n Heat is a double album released by blues musician John Lee Hooker and blues-rock band Canned Heat in early 1971. It was the last studio album to feature harmonica player, guitarist and songwriter Alan Wilson, who died in September 1970 from a drug overdose. The photo on the album cover was taken after Wilson's death, but his picture can be seen in a frame on the wall behind John Lee Hooker. Guitarist Henry Vestine was also missing from the photo session. The person standing in front of the window, filling in for Henry, is the band's manager, Skip Taylor.  Careful examination of the photo reveals that Henry's face was later added by the art department.  Although featured on the cover, vocalist Bob Hite does not sing on the album.

 

Boogie Chillen No. 2 is the number.

 

 

 

Eric Burdon & War performing Tobacco Road on German TV in '70.  14 minutes of sheer listening pleasure.

 

 

Tobacco Road made famous by The Nashville Teens in '64.  Interesting history about the song.

 

John D. Loudermilk wrote this song and originally recorded it in 1960. He was born and raised in the old tobacco warehouse city of Durham, North Carolina.

 

"I got the idea for writing that song from a road in our town that was called Tobacco Road because it was where they rolled the hogsheads full of Tobacco down to the river to be loaded onto barges. Along that road were a lot of real tough, seedy-type people, and your folks would have just died if they thought you ever went down there."

 

Does that sound like Kingston upon Hull, bannork?  You ain't one of those seedy-types, is ya?

 

 

Another lengthy classic tune, Soul Sacrifice recorded live by Santana 18 August '70 at Tanglewood in Lenox, Massachusetts.

 

 

Stevie Ray Vaughan with Tin Pan Alley off of his '84 Couldn't Stand The Weather LP.
