tutsiwarrior Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 how could I have forgotten Frank Zappa and the Mothers? Saw them twice. The one time at Cal State Fullerton featured Alice Cooper and Wild Man Fisher as opening acts. The Wild Man's set consisted of acapella screaming and shouting while he accompanied himself with a bath towel on air guitar...a bit too much for some of the the conservative Orange County crowd in attendance. Alice Cooper declared that he was highly aroused and was going to masturbate when he got off the stage. Zappa as ever was marvelous...a few of his nonsense numbers then he got down to business. The Mothers were an orchestra created by Zappa to play his many compositions. Soon the audience were confronted by an undulating wall of sound with Frank conducting and playing rhythm guitar. Unforgettable. Never did buy any of his albums though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 (edited) Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee at some dive in Berkeley...classic... Saw them in Liverpool mid 80's. The lame leading the blind onto the stage. I wanna be sloppy drunk baby than anyway that I know...'. Big points for anyone that can name the singer... Can only guess it's from 'Sloppy Drunk Blues'. Can't recall the singer though. Also saw Clapton with Albert Lee. Pointer Sisters Dr. Hook before they went disco.

tutsiwarrior Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 yeah...Sloppy Drunk Blues by Big Joe Williams. Just looked at the Arhoolie website and they no longer stock that album...too bad. Just remembered that I saw Ten Years After with Albert Lee at the Berkeley Community Theater. The set was too short only about 45 mins but worth it to hear him whale on Goin' Home.

happylarry Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I was living in NottingHill in the sixties and was the first person in my crowd to buy the Beatles first LP "Please Please me" . I used to have to carry it around with me where ever we went, everyday. It must have been played a thousand times in different peoples houses, anyway because of this, that album will always have a place in my heart, not because of the musical excellence but the memories it stirs up on hearing any track. Be happy....Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
