'they blew'em off the stage'
Holy poop... I wanna see Mahavishnu in 71!!!Judas Priest drained the crowd, (77') before Mahogany Rush hit the stage, Frank Marino was visibly bummed and did no encore. On July 25th 1976 Portland Oregon, Gentle Giant blew the doors off the headlin... 
Name three of yours the most favourite drummers
I was a big Kofi Baker fan based on the Jonas Hellborg Abstract Logic disc and one night stumbled into an Ohm show... figured they'd smoke pretty good based on their 1st disc. This was different... the drums were even better (dangerous level 5 tor... 
moody soundtracks
Hey Ryan, looks like i'll have you to blame for buying a Peter Gabriel disc... Haven't seen any John Zorn listed yet, Filmworks VII & Filmworks XII stood out as really good ones. Also might like:Denison/Kimball Trio-Walls of The CityBanco Del ... 
It's time for some new music
With any luck a Google hunt should get a few short free samples for most of your list.-Edmund Welles is a bass clarinet quartet put together by Cornelius Boots (no one in the band is named Edmund). The Agrippa's 3 Books CD refrences three books of... 
Best sound on classic rock cds
- Thin Lizzy-Thin Lizzy disc on Deram/ 820 528-2 (recorded 1971) It's weird how much better this sounds than most rock CDs . Don't know how any other CD versions of this one stack up.- Little Green Bag/George Baker Selection- from '70s Smash Hits ...

Had a ticket, but Be Bop Deluxe cancelled in Portland OR on that tour #$%^&*!#$%!!!!!... thanks for reminding me.First concert- Stumbled into a Ventures cover band at a giant picnic near an American Air Force base in Spain... (maybe it was the... 
Records that made you reassess your music beliefs
Karelfd,Sweetnighter stuck out as a great Weather Report record for me too. You might really dig the cover of Boogie Woogie Waltz by Ayers Rock (if you can find it).Zappa- Hot Rats (Can't beleive this at first sounded like random honking noise)Mil... 
Name your favorite sax solo.
Thanks for posting the M.F. favorite. Forgot about Bruce Johnstone. Thought he was great in New York Mary, (the stuff might sound dated as hell now tho')... gotta check out that Ferguson track. 
Willie Nelson, the star who wasn't supposed to be
Sorry to veer off, but Jackie King a guitarist who plays with weed smokin' Willie quite a bit is superb. The playing on his Moon Magic disc is pretty interesting and sounds great... any Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass or Tal Farlow fans will dig it. Sure... 
Name your favorite sax solo.
Thanks Dave, will be digging a few of those out, (probably start w/ Vandermark)... Kurt McGettrick (RIP) We Are Not Alone from Zappa's Man From Utopia is big old barrel of baritone sax goodness. 
It's Hammond B3 Organ Day
-Embryo, Warm Canto from the Rocksession disc, gorgeous relaxed playing combining vibes and B3.-Wayne Peet, Visions from Fully Engulfed, amazing recording quality and a great version of a cool Larry Young tune.-Larry Young on John McLaughlin's Dev... 
Fusion - Any Recommendations?
If you dig the avant tendencies of Area, alot of the recommendations so far will seem pretty milktoast and pedestrian. If you want high quality mind altering rock influenced instrumental (or mostly instrumental music) that can gobble up alot of br... 
Freak Me Out
Lots to pick from/ hard to guess what will bounce off and what will be absorbed (BTW Trout Mask and Future Days are incredibly deluxe!!!)... here are a few more:Herbie Hancock-SextantRuins-Burning StoneTipographica-TipographicaHarriet Tubman-Proto... 
Most Influential American Musician of All Time?
As Aldavis indicated Albert King was inclined to think with an organ that wasn't between his ears. He never used alot of the gear Hendrix used or had any idea of what Jimi was doing in the studio. King sure as hell never put out anything remotely ... 
Most Influential American Musician of All Time?
Dunno about all time...but how many rock guitarists (conciously or not) haven't absorbed Jimi Hendrix.Thelonious Monk may not be a household commodity but he added alot of vocabulary and his influence on some of todays great players runs deep.
