I wonder if tutsi warrior ever managed to get to one of his gigs. nah...never did manage to see Jimi although he played a lot around LA in the late 60s, never had any money or a car that worked, could barely keep meself supplied with dope and cheap red wine...never did get to see The Doors either which was a shame... never did get to see a lot of the big acts except for Janis with Big Brother in Pasadena in late 1968 which was a fluke: 'and I was there with some others back stage wantin' an autograph but didn't have anything for her to write on...AND THEN SHE GRABBED MY WRIST AND SIGNED MY NYLON JACKET...' she was left handed... memorable...

Tippaporn Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 This is for those on the other side of the pond who are most likely unfamiliar with this relatively unknown band, Mason Proffit. Formed not far from me in Champaign, IL in '69. This number is off their debut, "Wanted," released in '69, and had a wide following. Due to the political nature of the lyrics it was, at the time, banned by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission). Great tune and the lyrics apply today as well. As I rode into Tombstone on my horse, his name was MackI saw what I'll relate to you, going on behind my backIt seems the folks were up-in-arms, a man now had to dieFor believing things that didn't fit, the laws they'd set asideThe mans name was "I'm a Freak". the best that could seeHe was the executioner, a hangman just like meI guess he'd seen loopholes from working with his ropeHe'd hung the wrong man many times, so now he turned to hopeHe talked to all the people from his scaffold in the squareHe told them of the things he found, but they didn't seem to careHe said the laws were obsolete, a change they should demandBut the people only walked away, he couldn't understandThe marshals name was "Uncle Sam", he said he'd right this wrongHe'd make the hangman shut his mouth, if it took him all day longHe finally arrested Freak, and then he sent for meTo hang a fellow hangman, from a fellow hangmans treeIt didn't take them long to try him in their court of lawHe was guilty then of "Thinking", a crime much worse than allThey sentenced him to die, so his seed of thought can't spreadAnd infect the little children, that's what the law had saidSo the hangin' day came 'round, and he walked up to the nooseI pulled the lever, but before he fell I cut him loseThey called it a conspiracy, and that I had to dieSo to close our mouths and kill our minds, they hung us side-by-side And now we're two hangmen, hangin' from a treeThat don't bother me, at allTwo hangmen, hangin' from a tree That don't bother me, at all(Same all the way to the end) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippaporn Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) I can't say enough about Leon's contribution to music. His Will 'O The Wisp album (which, BTW, is an all-around classic) was the inspiration for my imaginings of living somewhere tropical. Hard to believe that a guy with his talent would one day become obscure. Heart warming . . . Edited November 9, 2017 by Tippaporn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannork Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Your comments about Leon Russell made me think of Nicky Hopkins, another truly fine pianist.He is on that Cyril Davies number and of course this one from QSM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tippaporn Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Agreed re Nicky Hopkins. He was superb. So, this one's for you, bannork. Enjoy. Don't Cry My Lady Love is possibly my favorite QMS number. Kind of epitomizes that era for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tippaporn Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Maybe someone across the pond can remember these guys? bannork? I've listened to a lot of underground music back in the day but never heard this band. Truly some acid dropping, mind altering, psychedelic, trippin' music. I've (attempted) to listen to some "pyschedilc" playlists on YT and most are gawd-awful cuts from obscure bands who never had any true talent; which is evidenced by the fact that they were obscure even back then. The band, Uriel, later changed to Egg, put this one and only June, 1969 released LP out under a pseudonym, Arzachel, due to their act, Egg, being under contract with Decca. I've listened to 3 cuts so far and am impressed. The keyboards on Queen St. Gang are very reminiscent of Keith Emerson. And there's also a nice, lengthy jam to enjoy with any blotter or orange sunshine that members may have still stashed away after all these years. LOL. The intro reminds me of early Floyd.

Tippaporn Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Well, when it rains it pours. Another psych band that's escaped me; krautrock from Ash Ra Tempel, 1972. This one's a 19:46 marathon called Amboss. May as well attach a similar krautrock band, Can, to this post. From their 1971 Tago Mago LP. Admittedly, not a band for everyone. Doubt I'll earn any "Hearts" from these, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippaporn Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 A few numbers from Vanilla Fudge. The 1967 classic, long version of "You Keep Me Hangin' On," and "Bang, Bang" from the 1968 Beat Club appearance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tippaporn Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Here's a few live recordings from '71~'72 from the largely forgotten, high octane band, Cactus. The band consisted of members from Vanilla Fudge, Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice, Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels guitarist Jim McCarty, and Rusty Day from the Amboy Dukes. A good listen if you've still got the energy, LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tippaporn Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Moving on, Bogert and Appice eventually teamed with Jeff Beck to form Beck, Bogert & Appice. The live, 1973 cover of Superstition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tippaporn Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Arguably one of the finest Elton John LP's. Arguably one of the finest LP's of 1971. Nothing short of an absolute masterpiece. Pure genius it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
