I love early live albums from the 60's & 70's. Today bands mostly play their albums note for note on stage. What I do enjoy is the amount of old live recordings being released that are being discovered on old tapes. But my favorite live album was a 1971 performance by the Pink Fairies called 'Finlan...

Gary Ratzlaff of Potliquor first played with The Basement Wall, an early Baton Rouge psych band, that were actually pretty good. They did some original songs and there is a CD released in the 80's of an old live show, where they do covers of 60's songs. Potliquor played at the Mar Y Sol festival in ...

I was 8 years old, had a chance to go see them at City Park Stadium in NOLA, but didn't go, still regret that! However, I can vouch for Beatlemania, it was insane! Saw the movie, 'Help!' at the show when it came out- the girls did not stop screaming the entire movie! Their influence was so widely f...
Am I the only person that has never listened to a Taylor Swift song? I do buy hoards of albums/cd's, so a few TS CD's are in my numbers, will sit down in a few weeks to give a couple of them an 'objective' listening......
How about 8 Track car player? Iggy and the Stooges first album, Deep Purple- 'Book of Taliesyn' and Traffic- 'Last Exit'. I think when I finally got a car cassette player first tape was an old copy of Best of the Amboy Dukes....

Would have loved to see the Stones one more time, I did see them twice in the 70's, but ticket prices are just getting ridiculous. It's amazing they are still making great music 60 years later!! Sad for my wife, she never got a chance to see them......
I remember the Kingfish- saw the Ramones there, opening act was the Runaways with Lita Ford and Joan Jett. Also saw Lou Reed there with opening act, Ian Dury and the blockheads. I should have gone to the Sex Pistols show, but oh well, decided not to go......
The shows I recall seeing there in the 70's- Pink Floyd Led Zeppelin The Who/Toots and the Maytals Rolling Stones George Benson/Gil Scott-Herron ...
It's difficult to mention just one, but looks like most of the prime candidates I would consider were listed. Not sure, did anyone mention Frank Zappa? And speaking of Brian Wilson's brain, same could be said of Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd before LSD led him to be one of the first total acid casualtie...

Posted by Tiger in Texas on 5/18/24 at 5:28 am
This thread should be all about Hawkwind, they were basically the kings of space rock in the early 70's, starting with their 'In Search of Space' album. Pink Floyd's 'Astronomy Domine' from their first album with Syd Barrett. Can't forget 'Third Stone from the Sun' by Jimi Hendrix Experience. Should...
Without sounding racist or chauvinistic (and even if you think so, I don't care) but the idea of women and/or minorities becoming the dominant employment/management force in a business or corporation, simply does not work. I was in the professional world for 40 years, my younger wife is still in it....

Have to admit that Braswell has been a big disappointment in the field. This was his season to show why JJ wanted him at SS, but he simply had too many fielding errors over the season. I remember before the season Braswell said in an interview his goal was zero fielding errors......

I thought about Morgan after the disaster, he would have made that catch at first!...
One statistic that is overlooked, when he retired from the NBA he was the all-time leading scorer! And another fact, if I recall, he was the only player ever to receive MVP of the Finals, even though he was on the losing team!...
I am no rah-rah Israeli fan, but Hamas overstepped this time and I have no problem with Netanyahu leading an annihilation of those terrorist bastards. I also feel nothing for the Palestinians in general- those f**kers hate America and everything it stands for! People need to remember that!...
