radfrad-
Amen! I've ordered the new Trower from Amazon. But right now I'm spinning Ronnie Montrose, "Open fire"- Town without pity. The Levinson has been spinning the electric utility meter into overdrive.

I love that Montrose. Bad Motor Scooter
My electric bill was more also and I like the way my amps
and preamp double as space heaters to help balance out my natural gas heating bill |
Actually Mr. Sammy Hagar wrote the song "Bad Motor Scooter ". That gives us a perfect segue into his career.

Cream revisited. BBM. Comprised of Jack bruce, Gary Moore and Ginger Baker, another obscure English band - STRAY DOG on ELP 'S. manticore records. Blues rock! Enjoy |
Benny Turner - Journey (blues)
John Mayall, Bluesbreakers & Friends - 70th Birthday Concert
The Rides (Stephen Stills, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Jerry Harrison) - Can't Get Enough |
Just spun up Jeremy Spencer's "Bend in The Road". Another superb blues album from a former member of Fleetwood Mac. Spencer handles the slide duties with his usual skill and taste, but the extra treat here is a second guitarist called Brett Lucas. Classic blues done right. |
lezdam, facten, martykl-
A lot of good music mentioned this morning. Some of it I was unaware of and have been listening to it already, Thanks! Like "Stray Dog" and "The rides". Both are great. I see Stray dog did a Beatles cover of Drive my car.
I have BBM, definitely a supergroup. Moving onto Jeremy Spencer and Brett Lucas.
Gonna see what their about. I haven't listened to Mr. Spencer sine the Fleetwood Mac days.

Damn it John listen to some Zappa! |
Just listening to some Roy Buchanan. In my opinion one of the greatest and most underrated guitarists of all time! Check out the guitar work on "Petes blues" and Neil Young's Down by the River". From the album " Sweet Dreams - The Anthology |
Zappa was a gunies!
And to think, The Rolling Stones asked Roy Buchanan to be in their band and he declined. Buchanan is one of my faves.
Dont hate me but Prince did a pretty mean cover of a Beatles song.

I took a couple of my high end tuners out of storage this morning. I have to say I am less and less impressed with the ongoing shrinkage of the FM sound stage. Its all coming back to me now as to why I did not have one hooked up to my rig. There was a time when I absolutely loved FM radio for the excellent stereo imagery. And now sigh, perhaps its time to unload all tuners but one and fund another digital source. I offer an apology for letting this turn into a rant. It was hard to resist. |
Glad to hear from you. Getting kinda quiet on the thread. I only listen to one local non profit station. Class X radio. 89.1 FM. They stole the name from the "I heard it, I heard it, I heard it on the X"- ZZ Top song and the story behind the song.
They started out covering only a small area. Couple of cities really in Northern Ky. Now they have several places on the dial to tune in to depending on where you are in the city to get the best signal. They are currently in the middle of their annual fundraising drive. Seeking donations and sponsorship. They have limited commercials doing all promotions once per hour, I believe. They play albumn rock. Deeper cuts form the classic rock we love. Now I'm ranting.
Oh and I really enjoyed the Julian Sas mentioned above.

radfrad -
Rainbow Blackmore and Joe Lynn Turner, Nice! Allso Dio was a killer vocalist for Rainbow and others.
Ever heard HTP? "Hughes Turner Project"? Not to bad. Think I'll listento a few cuts.
I also listened to more Julian Sas, "Is this what they call blues". Also on his "Bound to roll" CD is a great Rory Gallagher cover of "Shadow Play".
N |
You guys are listing so many artists that I have not heard of
I am checking on them
I especially liked Blacmore w DP and Rainbow
"Man on a Silver Mountain". Great tune |
"Why?" - Ginger Baker.
Baker's short-lived fame in the rock realm does an injustice to his overall career. His personality never helped him in any way, either.
Both those sentiments aside, he deserves recognition for his artistry and sensibilities on the kit; serious good stuff here.
"Ghosts Of Highway 61" - Lucinda Williams
I personally find the production a little murky on her latest but what the hell. If I bought records solely on that basis I'd have a piss poor music collection. An excellent rainy day record - maybe some whiskey as well.
|
Ginger Baker's contribution to the music community is undeniable.
N
|
Angel Vivaldi, The speed of dark, song " Sea of heartbreak".
N |
Steve Morse, "New Years Day". (U2 cover)
For all of the Glenn Hughes lovers out there, there is GH Holiday music available.

Wow - Humble Pie!
Great to see some people still listen to them - they were my first live concert in 9th grade. (This was a post-Frampton membership show at CW Post College on Long Island.)
"Live At The Fillmore" remains today as one of the very few great live recordings. (Hell,. I even created a ringtone on my cell from "Four Day Creep's" opening salvo.) It is as much a testimony to the band's awesome live performance as it is to the Fillmore East - you can actually HEAR the space...
"Even you people, behind the glass plates at the back of the hall..."
R. I. P. Mr Marriott.

radfrad, oblgny-
I listened to Humble Pie on the 16th. Love the band pre and post Frampton. I also mentioned Julian Sas above. Check his CD Bound to roll. He does a cover of "30 days in the hole" that is dynamite. Also covers Rory Gallagher, "Shadow Play" and Bob Dylan, "Highway 61 revisited". The rest of the disc is gret as well.
N |
Jeff Beck, " Blow by blow".

D.O.A. War on 45.

I saw the Firm in Cincinnati when they toured promoting their first albumn. It was the only time I've been able to see Jimmy Page and/or Paul Rodgers live. Jimmy did play Kashmir! and other Zep and Bad Co. songs. I have photos of the show. Actual photos from back in the day when we used film.
Today-
Aerosmith, "Rocks" and "Get your wings". Love early Aerosmith. They were my first concert. REO Speedwagon was the opening act.
N |
I've got Richard Thompson's live "Two Lettr Words" spinning right now. It's just not fair the one guy can both write those incredible songs and play guitar like that. |
|
I saw the Firm also back in early 80's
It was great but I remember the Bass Player had a big white afro
and to this day I have never heard a better bass on my system or in concert
Dont recall his name with out a little research.
Awesome world shaking bass not excessivly loud but loud enough
R

Tony Franklin played bass for the Firm when I saw them. White 80's rock hair.
Fretless bass. He's got hystory.
N

Yep, The Firm is essential 80's listening! |
