| 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. | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. @skyscraper: Nice to use real names Mike ;-) . The first time I heard Bloomfield was the same as for most people: on the 1965 Paul Butterfield Blues Band debut album on Elektra Records. That was the first exposure to real Blues (as opposed to the... | |
| The MoFi Mess and TAS rolling over for them ericsch: I believe Bernie Grundman mastered the 2017 version. Fremer might know the answer to your question. | |
| Personality Type? You couldn’t keep your eyes off Keith Moon, regardless of where on stage he was. Clem Burke has obviously watched and listened to Keith a LOT. He is seen in the video of The Eurythmics "Would I Lie To You" (love it!), but not heard on the recordin... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. I agree @larsman. My invitation for other Audiogon to voice THEIR opinion does not conflict with that position. | |
| Component placement for open baffles? That's about how I do my planars too @coralkong. Speakers 5' from the front wall, equipment racks about a foot away from the wall, their front edges about 2.5' behind the speakers. |
