| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? My 100 LP collection would also have to include: - The Dwight Twilley Band: Sincerely. The best melding of 1950's Rock 'n' Roll and 60's Power Pop I've ever heard. An incredible album! - Rodney Crowell: The Houston Kid (though it would need to b... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Well fellas, did I see a great one last night! Kelly Willis, Brennen Leigh, and Melissa Carper, doing a set as a trio on the stage at Mississippi Studios in Portland Oregon. Kelly and Brennen playing acoustic guitars, Melissa an upright bass almo... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". More corrections: I described New Buffalo as a "quarter", when they were actually a quartet. And I said Dave Edmunds had two "precious" albums prior to making his Swan Song Records debut Get It. They were actually previous albums. Emil... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @rel: Touche! In my defense, my only excuse is that I never before typed either Calvary or cavalry. Looking at the word calvary now, it doesn’t look even close to how cavalry sounds. Now that I think about it, I've been aware of Calgary (the city... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". The Band, The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, and Buddy Guy did a tour of Canada together in 1970, traveling from city-to-city on a train car they took over. Rick Danko and Janis had a ball together, singing old Hillbilly and Blues songs. The tour wa... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Other fun facts about The Last Waltz: - Ever wonder why Neil Diamond---clearly out-of-place---was included in the roster of artists? Robertson had produced his latest album. Shameless self-promotion. - The rehearsal for the show was runnin... | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @garebear: Your understanding of the royalty question is mine as well. I think Robbie’s comment of "I did what I had to do" is very revealing of the nature of his related actions. Band producer John Simon (he did their first two albums) has told ... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @tonnesen: If you call Eminent Technology, Bruce Thigpen will get on the phone with you (actually, he often answers it himself), and answer all your questions about the LFT-8c. He's a very friendly, down-to-Earth kinda guy. | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". @therandyman: One cool thing about the video is that when Robbie is performing the song on piano, you can better hear the song's great chord progressions, and the sophisticated voicing of the chords. Majestic! | |
| "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... |
