Deal!

Let's plan to meet up in 2119 and see who's view was correct!

Not my point - and I had great math SAT's . If something is still of great interest 50 years after the fact, it likely can be of interest 150 years after the fact. I would think that 150 years from now, people may well still want to know about the all-time longest charting album of the first 100 years of recorded music.

We're already 50 years on. SF 60's best of breed, vocal space rock with lyrics to match.

SF 60's best of breed, Awesome looooong Guitar jam live at Fillmore West ("Who Do You Love") and extreme guitar psychedelia ("The Fool") by Quicksilver Messenger Service with the tremelo king, John Cippolina. Might have been viewed differently if DSOTM had not sold a gazillion copies. Though it is a very different record from Atom Heart Mother or Meddle. For that matter, I have to think Wish You Were Here would have been a very different record (and would have appeared a lot sooner) if that were the case. Though the rock music scape of 1973-1975 was utterly different than that of 1968-1970.

Agreed, good observation, but the "datedness" of the early material is part of the appeal to me.

I didn't know about this either, but here it is. My interest in the box will depend on the cost. $100, I'm in. $300, I'm out. https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-news/bob-dylan-martin-scorsese-rolling-thunder-revue-documentary-netflix-777169/

This thread has inspired me to finally watch this - I've owned it for years. Music is extremely spacy (and good). Best of breed, 60's SF space division (the song, not the album). They never again recorded anything vaguely like this, though some of the live tapes from this era floating around show this influence.

Got inspired by our Pink Floyd discussion to finally watch this. I've owned it for years, but never got around to it. Watching it now.

There were a couple of eras of Gong. They started out as an offshoot of Soft Machine, led by Daevid Allen, and then were taken over by Pierre Morlan, who steered them in a much more accomplished jazz-rock direction, without either the highs or lows of the Allen years.

We owe a great debt of gratitude to this woman and this album for many many Blue Note reissues being funded: Evelyn Champagne King's "Shame" has always been THE disco record for me, though I basically enjoyed the whole genre (knowing the scorn that statement will bring me). Also definitely not correct, but certainly necessary.

Except when Gilli Smyth was doing her thing with them.

4-disc Jethro Tull "This Was" 50th Anniversary box for 18.99 pounds at Amazon UK https://www.amazon.co.uk/This-50th-Anniversary-Jethro-Tull/dp/B07GRLPXRW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=tull+this+was+50th&qid=1554461522&s=music&sr=1-1-catcorr&linkCode=ll1&tag=superdeluxeed-21&linkId=111d62a4f6e26977d3aa8b12336dc818&language=en_GB

Hawkwind was definitely in that space, but came on the radar a little bit later. Soft Machine was in that space at the beginning, a Canturbury scene group, when Kevin Ayers was in the group and Mike Ratledge had all the solo space and Robert Wyatt was singing a lot (first album), and still when Hugh Hopper replaced Ayers (second album). You can get an idea by listening to "Moon in June" on Third, and imagine it without the horns. There is a fair amount of BBC and other recordings of the early Soft Machine available, including earlier "Moon in June". Their Third album was a transition, and by their Fourth album, they were totally a jazz-rock group. Some of the other Canturbury scene groups, such as Caravan, did nice extended things with lots of organ. Caravan's "Nine Feet Undergound" is amazing.

It hasn't so far over 30+ years,.

I grew up and live in the Philly/NJ/NYC area where Springsteen was a cultural icon even a few years prior to his national breakout. What can I say, one pleasant myth-enhanced memory for old time's sake. I'm sure Dallas-Ft. Worth has equivalent myths. Sometimes I just want to hear what I want to hear. I understand too many of the realites behind Woodstock, yet was still extremely moved when I visited the site in Bethel Woods a couple years ago. Moved as much by the loss of the dream as much as anything. We've had the same discussion in other threads. Hearing a singer tell you what you want to hear is a lot more soothing for the soul than Albert Ayler when soul-soothing is the desire. "Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now." I know it can't happen, and I know WAAAY too much about why, but I still really really like hearing it. I had the same arc as you about two years delayed, moved from a steady diet of rock to Coltrane and then Blakey/Mingus/Miles around 72-73, but was not oblivious to the transient pleasure of car radios or to what was happening in FM rock and soul. Didn't totally tune out until grunge and new jack totally killed the joys of both for me. "Go Your Own Way" sounds great to me on a car radio. Ornette Coleman, I need a more focused setting. To each his own, it's a big tent, we can all fit.

Can anyone speak of that rhythm section? I've never heard of any of them, but I want to believe...

I hear you, but Bruce live is hard to not join in. You want to believe and sing along "Show a little faith, there's magic in the night" when he does Thunder Road. I think of bopping along to "Born To Be Wild" back when I was doing trigonometry homework or whatever ca. 1968-69.

Yeah, I bet being in a psych hospital with a bunch of patients singing "... we don't need no education, we don't need no thought control.." or whatever would be just a BIT disconcerting.

It does, but pretty serious case of the whole being less than the sum of the parts. And they couldn't even get the song title right.
