Fleetwood Mac
All of this discussion over the different versions of FM sent me to amazon to investigate Peter Green era recordings. I found a 3 disc live set recorded in 1970 called Boston that was released last month. It looks like a bundling of 3 separate liv... 
"Looking Into You" A Tribute To Jackson Browne
Thanks for the post. I like a lot of these artists and certainly enjoy Jackson Browne. 
SRV Instrumental tracks and similar artists
Riviera is such a fine song. I would look into Ronnie Earl and the broadcasters. Ronnie is a Boston based blues guitarist with great chops. He has several terrific instrumentals in his catalog. I think his last cd was completely instrumental. High... 
Rembering the 80s: College Rock
Qdrone-I agree with you about Guadalcanal Diary. I think that they deserve the "deluxe edition" treatment or a box set including selections from their albums, out takes, and perhaps a live recording. Love Tractor is another unique under appreciate... 
Rembering the 80s: College Rock
Atlanta is blessed with WRAS from Ga. ST. J.B. Fuqua endowed this college station years ago. Consequently, WRAS has a 100,000 watt transmitter and can compete with the commercial stations only they could play anything they wanted. They helped brea... 
Paco De Lucia R.I.P.
His work with Al Dimeola and John McLaughlin on "Friday night in San Francisco" I outstanding. A reference recording for me. 
My most memorable ROCK moment
Wow. Hendrix, the Dead in Amsterdam, the Stooges in a fist fight, Chuck Berry at a birthday party? Although I have seen countless arena tours with most of the big name acts over the past 40 years, this thread makes me want to see even more. The pr... 
My most memorable ROCK moment
I have many concert memories, but two intimate experiences that were the result of dumb luck. The first was in Atlanta around 1980 when a friend and I went to the Moonshadow Saloon to have a few beers. We walked in to a bar with about 30 people in... 
Suddenly, Porcupine Tree
I discovered Porcupine Tree from this blog last year when I asked 'Gon members to recommend modern prog bands in the Yes, Pink Floyd genre. I like "In Absentia" and "Fear of the Blank Planet." "Anesthetize" is a great song. I hear elements of PF, ... 
Sloppy but Famous Contest
Some of my favorite artists compensate for lack of pure technical skill with feedback, distortion, and effects- Neil Young, the Edge, and Jack White. Of course, then there is Steve Morse who is a very gifted technically, but uses effects anyway be... 
Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks exit ABB
I think that Warren and Derek will each continue to contribute to their own solo projects for years to come. They are both juggling touring schedules with 2 or 3 bands and also trying to raise families. Gregg could put together guitar players for ... 
Hot Rats
I like the title track, D.C. boogie, and Montreal. Glad you enjoyed it and I am going to look up Sleep Dirt. 
Hot Rats
For you folks that enjoy instrumental Zappa (Ghost and others), you should check out "Imaginary Diseases". Released from the vaults in 2007, it is a collection of jazz influenced live instrumentals recorded during Zappa's 1972 tour. It features th... 
Happy music...
Zydeco music will put a little kick in your getty up. I like Buckwheat Zydeco and C.J. Chenier. Laissaz bons temps rouler! 
Duane Allman
Raks,I love it when a plan comes together.
