bannork Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Another heroin casuality: way, way too young. A classic by Fred Neil whose own wonderful voice was in such contrast to Tim Buckley's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippaporn Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 It's funny how thought is associative in nature. Hot Tuna, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Janis, Jerry Garcia . . . Bay area during the '60's. An incredible profusion of great artists during that era and that area specifically. The tradition actually continues to this day. But that would be for that "other" thread. For now, though . . . Enjoy!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippaporn Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 This one just popped into my head . . . a live version of Pink Floyd's "Careful With That Axe, Eugene." I had run across this quite a few years ago and as this is one of my (many) favorite Pink Floyd numbers off their Ummagumma double-LP I'm at a toss up between this and the original studio version. Absolutely awesome!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannork Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 The West Coast- Christ, the music was so good.

Still play them these days. Excellent band! Returning your volley, bannork. Such a gentle, beautiful song . . . Debated with myself whether to post the lyrics. Good thing about debating with yourself is that you always win! Don't Cry My Lady Love by Quicksilver Messenger Service Don't cry, my sweet love You know how I can't stand you crying All right, my lady love I know you have heart, begin tryin' Some day in the morning When the sunshine won't shine in your window You may remember That I was the sun in your window But these things happen all the time They're always the same One's always crying And one's always easing the pain You say goodbye, my lady love I don't want the memories to haunt you Just look in my eyes, babe You can change my mind if you want to But some day that someone That you never cared for, will start again You may remember The one boy you won't share your heart with But these things happen And they're never right on time One's always leavin' And one's always changin' his mind Another time, another place You'll know that I'd really love you Dry your eyes, my funny face Another place, another world about you Don't you remember The way that you once tried to leave me And maybe some day You may know you really didn't need me But these things happen all the time They're always the same One's always crin' And one's always takin' the blame One's always crin' And one's always takin' the blame Edited August 16, 2017 by Tippaporn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tippaporn Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hadn't thought of it before but better late than never (maybe someone else commemorated it earlier but I'm to lazy to scour the back pages to check). June 16th ~ 18th was the 50th anniversary of the Monterey International Pop Festival. And so, a tribute to that major historical music events . . . What would you pay to see today the line-up of talent at that fest? Priceless! A couple of nice visual intro . . . Singing about the Windy City . . . my town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippaporn Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 A compendium of "Baby Please Don't Go," a blues song having 19th century roots and which has been called "one of the most played, arranged, and rearranged pieces in blues history" by music historian Gerard Hertzhaft. It's amazing to see how many very well known artists have covered this song. One of the earliest recorded versions by Big Joe Williams in 1935. Lightin' Hopkins recorded this as early as '47 but this version is circa 1960's. A 19-year-old Van Morisson fronting Them in a 1964 version. Perhaps my favorite rendition is the Amboy Dukes released on their '67 self titled debut; I mean it just seriously kicks butt! Muddy Waters first recorded this in '53. This is from a live '79 show. And lastly AC/DC from their '75 debut "High Voltage." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tippaporn Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I had mentioned before that during the '60s and '70s there would be excellent artists on both sides of the Atlantic whose music would never cross over. I had come across Shelagh McDonald recently and as I was over in the U.S. during that era I had never heard of her. Does anyone over in the U.K. at the time recall her or was she just as unknown there? These tracks are from her self titled debut in 1970. A bit of reading reveals that quite a few notable English folk/rock artists collaborated with her on her two albums and she certainly has talent.
