| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw: Speaking of Bobby Fuller, the first site I visited after moving to L.A. on June 1st 1979 was Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, to pay my respects to Bobby. For anyone else planning to do the same, you have to look under the name Robert to f... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear @jrosemd: Yeah, Greetings From Planet Love is one of the most amazing albums I’ve ever heard (I nominated it earlier in the thread), and by far the best parody of Psychedelic music ever done. Very creative, and spot on. Andrew Gold was a very tale... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them @tylermunns: No, no mid-70's pressings. I wore out my original; In 1971 I was backing a chick singer who did a coupla songs from the album, and played the album a LOT. "Smackwater Jack" was a lot of fun to play. Drummer Russ Kunkel and bassist Lel... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @tostadosunidos: I have a couple of Brinsley Schwarz recommendation for you, one being Dave Edmunds’ second album, Subtle As A flying Mallet. The last song on each album side is Edmunds backed by the BS band, performing a pair of Chuck Berry songs... | |
| Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable? Bruce is very pleasant to talk to. I would give him a call (he personally answered the ET phone when I called to inquire about the LFT-8b loudspeaker). | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. The last two posts by @winnardt and @2ndliner (great name!) perfectly encapsulate the reaction The Band evokes. Mine of course eventually (it didn’t happen at first) became exactly as that of 2ndliner: The Band were life-changing. For those to who... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. Prior to 1967, The Hawks were "just" a Rockabilly/Rock 'n' Roll/R & B band. But as wolf_garcia testified above, a REALLY good one. That all changed in 1967. The Hawks (minus Levon) spent that entire year in the basement of Big Pink, being tuto... | |
| Personality Type? Ranking (or even just judging) of drummers is often done using the yardstick of technical ability, especially but not limited to by drummers themselves. But you’ll notice songwriters, singers, and players of instruments other than drums sometimes ... | |
| Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl @dayglow: Pray for number 1001. That will be made with a fresh stamper (no. 1000 will be the last made with the old one). | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @larsman: No task involved in playing with Bob Dylan? You must not be a musician. ;-) I WILL concede that The Dead have the depth and breadth required to navigate Dylan’s waters. TP & The Heartbreakers? Nope, ’fraid not. Have you heard Dyl... | |
| Looking for a London (DECCA) Reference phono cartridge Another piece of advice (and opinion ;-): If you decide to look for a London Supergold (or if John has one left for sale), get it with the Decapod mount. The stock plastic bracket is a joke. | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. Dylan also employed The Grateful Dead and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers as his live band, neither of which were up to THAT task. Think about all the people The Band provided accompaniment for in the Last Waltz. Very few musical ensembles are ... | |
| Looking for a reel to reel deck that plays NAB and IEC EQ My Revox A77 does. They are available for a lot less than 5k. | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @skyscraper: For a couple of shows I attended I was in the best seat in the house: the drummers throne ;-) . One was with Don & Dewey (Specialty Records label-mates of Little Richard, Sam Cooke, John lee Hooker, Lloyd Price, and Larry Williams... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. Mike, I also saw Albert King and Big Joe Turner. And Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins. But no Elvis, Roy Orbison, or Jerry Lee Lewis. Jerry Lee's still alive---the last (Sun Records) man standing. |
