Some interesting musical history regarding Hurricane in the vid description.

 

In late July 1975, this version was recorded at Columbia Studios, New York. However, Dylan was forced to re-record after concerns were raised by Columbia's lawyers. The original lyrics in this version, "I was only robbing the bodies, I hope you understand" could have resulted in a lawsuit from Arthur Dexter Bradely. Because there was too much leakage on the multitracks to make a vocal "punch in," Dylan had to re-record the entire song. This is the original version, and probably the earliest recording of "Hurricane" in existence. Enjoy this gem while you can!

Uplifting stuff from the Welsh hippies. Sorely missed.

My God, where has the time gone?  The days when guys would wear a suit and tie to a Stones performance? The Stones performing Oh Carol and Tell me on their 3rd U.S. television broadcast from June 24th, '64.  Jagger and Richards still at 20,  Jones at 22, Watts 23, and the old guy, Wyman at 27.  I was already on my 5th girlfriend.  Wanted to take her to the show but her mom wouldn't let her as she was only 8 and as a 9 year-old I couldn't be trusted.  Too bad . . . she was smokin' hot.

Under My Thumb off of their '66 Aftermath LP.  I wore this LP out.

I've posted this one before.  A live version of Sister Morphine.  Wonderful tune.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

I can't post that tune without also posting the original recording by Marianne Faithfull from '69.  Written by Faithfull, Jagger and Richards this version features Jagger on acoustic guitar, Ry Cooder on slide guitar and bass guitar, Jack Nitzsche on piano and organ, and Charlie Watts on drums.

For all the Nick Cave fans, here's the title track off of the Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds '84 debut, From Her to Eternity.

This one misses by a year, recorded in '90, but it's one of my favourite Nick Cave humourous videos featuring The Weeping Song with Blixa Bargeld.  Love the rowboat scenes in the tumultuous waves of what?

Psych folk with an Indian influence.  Might be too early in the morning for drugs for some of you.  Maybe later this afternoon or evening . . . ?  Of course some of you older freaks might be taking drugs every morning for your rheumatism or what not.  Not the same but possibly could serve as a substitute.

Rumplestiltskin with Make Me Make You off of their debut eponymous '70 LP.

 

Interesting info on this project as explained in the description.  While the band members weren't allowed to use their real names Peter Green is listed as being in the band.

 

If you are not familiar with this band the synopses will give you some idea of the talent that formed to make two albums, 1970 and '71. These are the top drawer of UK session musicians.

 

Peter Lee Stirling [Peter Charles Greene, aka Daniel Boone] (vocals), Alan Hawkshaw (keyboards), Alan Parker (guitar), Clem Cattini (drums), Herbie Flowers (bass) Alan Parker, Herbie Flowers, and Alan Hawkshaw also worked as part of Blue Mink for several years, and Hawkshaw wrote music for various TV shows and films. Clem Cattini ended up in one of the variants of Colloseum for a while.

 

This great band was comprised of some of the best musicians in the UK at the time, although, probably for contractual reasons, they weren't allowed to use their real names. Bassist Herbie Flowers and guitarist Alan Parker were the main characters in this hard rock band, as was vocalist Peter Lee Stirling, who'd been in Hungry Wolf. They released two fairly rare albums in the early seventies and split, with the various members getting involved with the likes of Donovan, Sky, Lou Reed and Marianne Faithfull. Both albums were released on CD by Repertoire Records a number of years ago and are certainly worth checking out.

 

Rumplestiltskin was created by American producer Shel Talmy, his intent was to create a supergroup from highly respected, seasoned session man (including Clem Cattini and Peter Lee Stirling) to rival the rock monoliths of the day.

 

A uniquely talented British heavy rock band, Rumplestiltskin was the brainchild of American producer Shel Talmy. It was his idea to form a supergroup that might rival the highly successful outfits that dominated the early Seventies, such as Status Quo and Led Zeppelin. Instead of picking young, untried rockers, Talmy brought together highly experienced professional session men. Among them was drummer Clem Cattini. Although Rumplestiltskin wasnt a hit, it was nevertheless a serious project, as can be heard on the eight powerful tracks on their classy album, first released in 1970. The band also featured singer Peter Lee Stirling, who later scored a hit single with Beautiful Sunday under the name of Daniel Boone.

 

The first album is good bluesy rock with longish organ and guitar solos but nothing particularly progressive about it. Black Magician was released on Bellaphon, the same label as Nektar.
