  1. Agreed. Listening to the March 1, 1969 show I noticed that very thing.
  2. This had a little something to do with popularizing "surf music" (1959).
  3. Dick Dale has mentioned numerous times that "surf music" was being played in a live context since the mid-fifties. It wasn't until November 1962 that he had his first hit album, Surfers Choice which sold 80,000 copies and established him as "King of The Surf Guitar". Incidentally, the Fender-style reverb which became closely associated with the "surf" sound had not been invented yet. It was only after Dick's first album was a hit, that he convinced Leo Fender to build him a device to compensate for the lack of natural vibrato in his voice (made from a Hammond Organ spring tank ). The rest, as they say, is history....
  4. I just heard Jimmy's take on Besame Mucho on the local jazz station. Sounded good to me. I'll have to keep my eyes open for this one
  5. Anyone have his latest album "what's new"? Thoughts? Opinions?
  6. Got mine. Going to be a total GD weekend with a short break to go freeze my ass off at the Bears game on Sunday!
  7. According to UPS, the eagle lands on Thursday.
  8. Try these $600 for the pair.
  9. Yes, I do. It's a good song. The current version of the Allman Brothers do a nice version of this, too. ← True, but Gregg manages to mess up the words just about every time.
  10. Not jazz, but Robert Johnson comes to mind. Of course there were a number of extenuating circumstances.
  11. Not yet. I was cleaning off my desk the other day and noticed a post-it note which said "GD Fillmore set 11/15". I must have jotted this down when I placed my order. I opted for the expedited shipping so I would be guaranteed having the set on the date of release. So apparently (keep your fingers crossed) 11/15 is the day.
  12. RR2150 This looks like it might be a real gem, especially for $599. Very thoughful design and features.
  13. Saw the the 3 disc Fillmore set today at Circuit City. Looks like a real nice package with a big booklet. When is the release date of the big box again? (He said anxiously)
  14. Guitar and The Wind A little pricey, however I've seen it as low as $20 recently.
  15. PM sent regarding speakers.

    Donald Byrd "KOFI"

    I really enjoy this album. Donald "doing" Miles.
  17. "Curtis/Live" then consider this...
  18. I'm also "In Progress"
  19. I really like Jimmy Jones piano solo rendition from Kenny Burrell's tribute album, Ellington Is Forever Volume 1. It's a nice change of pace from the more typical uptempo swinging versions. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
  20. Saw this listed at CD Universe. Anyone have additional information on this? Davis, Miles Quintet With John Coltrane Live In Den Haag Pre-Order Now! Available: Tuesday, November 01, 2005
  21. McCoy is absolutely out of his mind on this one! The best example I've heard of in quite some time of passion meeting technique.
  22. Up. Very interesting thread, which until now I had missed.
  23. I heard the boys will be opening with that tune tonight.
  24. I've attended a lot of Allman Brothers Band shows over the years. As you may know, they have a liberal policy regarding taping performances. It seems like the last 2 or 3 years I've seen fewer tapers at shows that I've attended. I like to think it's due in no small part to the fact that the shows have been readily available via Instant Live. Superior audio quality, nice packaging, and the convenience of having it in your hands 20 minutes post show, are all selling points that make it real hard to justify the hassle of taping. It a good product being sold at a reasonable price that I'm more than happy to pay for. I hope that the costs associated of this type of process continue to drop so that the technology becomes viable for artists who draw crowds of a couple hundred, as opposed to a couple thousand. P.S. The guitar player filling in for Warren was Jack Pearson and the sax player was Ron Holloway. Jack's a really good player and an ABB alum. P.P.S. I like Lamar's playing on Brothers and Sisters
  25. Another interesting phenomemon is the whole "Instant Live" concept. Personally, I really like the idea of attending a concert and having an audio souvenir of the experience. Maybe the best of both worlds. The artist(s) gets paid, and fans can purchase a high quality recording of the show that is instantly available after the show.
