| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @baconboy: Robbie’s replacement on guitar in the reformed Band was Jim Weider, who imo is actually a better guitarist than was Robbie. I know, sacrilege! Plus, Jim didn’t pretend to sing as did Robbie all throughout The Last Waltz. When Levon, Ric... | |
| Requesting Technical Assistance You may have just popped a fuse, assuming the Fisher employs them in a location where the hot & ground speaker wires touching would do so. Check for a fuse, and if that's the culprit just replace it. | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @jonwolfpell: Yeah, that live recording of "Don’t Do It"---which is the opening track on The Band’s double live album Rock Of Ages---is killer. There’s a studio recording of the song, but it appeared only as the B-side of the "Rag Mama Rag" 45 RPM... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". OMG, I detest Duran Duran. But I love the debut album by ABC (The Lexicon Of Love), who plowed basically the same field as DD. I find it kind of amusing how Robert Plant is now involved in music somewhat related to The Band’s kind of music. Why a... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @rettrussell: A beautiful post, thank you. Eric Clapton also holds Richard Manuel in very high regard. His death (okay, suicide) is the only one of a musician that brought me to tears. @relayer101: I myself found Music From Big Pink to be unfatho... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? If I were to be allowed a second list of three, it could include: - Emitt Rhodes: s/t debut. Better than McCartney’s debut. - Dave Edmunds: Get It. Dave was my favorite artist and producer during the 1970’s and 80’s. - Rockpile: Seconds O... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @vonhelmholtz: I respect the Hell out of Joan Baez. But she became the object of derision amongst myself and my peers when she sang "till so much calvary came" instead of the correct "till Stoneman’s calvary came" in "The Night They Drove Old Dixi... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Perhaps I'm paranoid, but I believe carlsbad2's post was directed at me. | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @stuartk: Your comments about Hiatt’s Slow Turning album ("It’s too bad that same group didn’t click when they went into the studio to record Slow Turning") seems to imply that it---like Bring The Family---was recorded with Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, a... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @gjohns: Mine too. "The Weight" is in my top 5 or so songs of all-time. One of Robertson's best songs was at the other end of their career: "It Makes No Difference", sung by bassist Rick Danko. The controversy about TNTDODD is in its' view of the... | |
| RIP Tom Jones It appears many others are as mistaken as I was 😊. @roxy54. My dad's taste was more like your parents. Smooth vocals, especially Andy Williams. The great thing about Andy Williams is that he had Henry Mancini songs offered to him first. I adore "... | |
| RIP Tom Jones Oops, I wasn’t paying close enough attention! @roxy54: My mom liked Johnny Cash and Elvis. Guess my taste in music started forming at an early age! I heard that Ring Of Fire album hundreds of times before I entered High School. | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Oops, "Lipstick Sunset". @roxy54: Absolutely, you’ll get no argument from me on that point. When I said The Band spoiled me for just about everyone else, the "me" was intentional. I don’t think one should assume that statement implies I think eve... | |
| As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. Ric is serious about cabinets. When he was building speakers using the BG NEO drivers and Rythmik/GR Research 12" woofers mounted on an open baffle, he made the baffle with 3 layers of MDF, Green Glue between layers. I made my open baffle (W-fram... | |
| RIP Tom Jones Believe it or don't, but Tom and John Lennon were pals. He had a hell of a voice, but my mom considered his tight pants vulgar.😊 |
