Did anyone have the comp from the mid 90's, I think, called Voodoo Soup? I forget the name of the first song, but the liners said Hendrix played everything on this track. It's an instrumental. It definitely sounds like him, but I never saw the title anywhere else. Anyone know if that was a faked Hendrix track?

If I remember correctly, their first, or one of their first, albums they released was a Rodney Dangerfield album.

NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO and....NO!

The first concert I ever saw was KISS when I was 13, and Night Ranger opened. So technically, ugh, Night Ranger was the first band I ever saw live....I have to throw up now. The drummer was situated front stage right and sideways so when he turned to sing, he was looking at the crowd. It was the last original tour of KISS before they took their make up off. I didn't know Ace Frehley wasn't there. It was Vinny Vincent. I saw them in 1996, very glad to have seen them. Anyway, Night Ranger, blah!

I saw this review & thought it funny. Reviewer: pss69 from New York City Yes, it's true. This is my favorite Stones album. Not their best, but my favorite. In about 1974, "Citadel" turned me from a little boy into a teenager in about three minutes. "2000 Man" was my theme song for the Millenium. I learned how to jam listening to the "Sing This Altogether"s. "She's a Rainbow" and "The Lantern" bring back very specific memories. "Gomper" and "2000 Light Years From Home" are great stoner tunes. And of course, "In Another Land" is the worst song ever written! Which reminds me of a story. And I'm gonna tell it to you right now! A year or two after "Citadel" turned me into a teenager, my best friend "Robert" had a crush on a girl named "Sharon." (the names are being changed to protect the clueless!) "Robert" came up with this brilliant idea! He was going to write a love poem to "Sharon" and tape it to front door, ring the doorbell and run! Well actually, I was going to tape it to the door and ring the doorbell and run. Actually, I was going to write the poem as well, since he didn't know how to write a poem! I wasn't any more experienced in the arts of poetry and seduction, but I had listened the Their Satanic Majesties Request for the hundredth time the night before. I decided to have a little fun with "Robert." I wrote on a piece of paper for him: "In Another Land, where the breeze and the trees and the flowers were blue, I stood and held your hand, and the grass grew high and the feathers floated by. I stood and held your hand. And nobody else's hand will ever do. Nobody else will do..." Robert was impressed! He made me stick the poem to the door for him, while he waited in the bushes nearby. I ran the bell and ran off! "Sharon" called him up the next day, and the two of them "went steady" for two or three months! The following year, "Robert" had a crush on "Susan" and asked me if I remembered the words to that poem that "I wrote" the year before. (I never told him the truth about it!) I said that I did. "In Another Land, where the breeze and the trees..." Taped to door, doorbell rung, boys run off... "Susan" called him, they "went steady" for two or three months. You get the picture. Three or four years later, I hadn't seen "Robert" in a couple of years. I was sitting at a card table in a friend's basement. "Sharon" and "Susan" were there and happened to be sitting on a couch right behind me. My ears perked up when I heard one ask the other: "Hey, didn't you go out with that goofball Robert in like junior high?" "Yes! He wrote the stupidest poem you can imagine and like taped it to my door and rang the doorbell and ran off! It was just so cute that I couldn't resist, so we went out together for a few weeks." "Oh my god! That sounds exactly like what happened with me!" At that moment I turned around and said to the two of them: "In Another Land, where the breeze and the trees and the flowers were blue, I stood and held your hand, and the grass grew high and the feathers floated by. I stood and held your hand..." Naturally, a good laugh was had by all, at the expense of poor old "Robert" and of course, Bill Wyman!

Big thanks to all especially Adam for the link & J.A.W. for e-mailing me said link. I've temporarily run out of jazz people to focus on (how's the Max Roach stuff coming JSngry?) and wanted to round things out with some blues.

Listened to it again today and the song after Moves, the ending melody is really great.

I just got an e-mail from J.A.W. today, so he's around.

So just wondering what other names I should look for besides Robert Johnson, Son House, Skip James & Charley Patton. Thank you!

I've been listening to most of Mingus's 70's albums lately and Mingus Moves sticks out to me as very good. Yes Changes 1 & 2 are great, but I think this one gets looked over because of those. I don't like vocals on jazz songs, but the melody on the title track, Moves, is great. Even the words aren't that bad. I can't recall the songs as I was listening to a tape of it, but I liked every song on it. Mingus wrote only, I believe, 3 songs on it.

They'd show each other No Quarter. See what you started?!?

It has Mingus's first NY date on it also.

I guess I asked because I don't think I've seen talk about him on the board, but I'm probably wrong. I was surprised to find out he played at the Monterey Festival in 1967. I thought I'd heard about everyone who played it. Also, my question has nothing to do with him doing Peanuts cartoons, I was just curious.

I own nothing by him but in looking at another thread this popped in to my head. And did I misspell his last name?

I didn't say that, now did I?

Don't remember a bomber pilot, but Peter Grant, their manager, was a ganster at the beginning of the movie.

Made for me by the lovely AfricaBrass!

Someone posted about pornography and under that wrote SAME. He did another topic and did the same thing. Now others have done it. Just a silly post. I'll probably delete it soon.

Never mind all this silly talk, when is The Beatles Story on CD coming out?!? That's a great avatar of Yesterday & Today, or Y&T, remember them?

Just had to start that joke. But actually I love this album, especially all 26:53 of Dazed & Confused.

I appreciate your avatar doubleM! I'm a big Husker Du fan myself.

What does that slim body consist of besides The Velvet Underground? Metal Machine Music?

Anyone ever play 3D chess? I remember watching my brother & father play this in the early 80's. I couldn't grasp how it works until about a year or two ago when I understood how to play 3D Tic Tac Toe. I was taught how to play chess, but never developed strategy. I could never think of moves ahead.

I can tell you that the balance of the Seattle 65 show, aside from the first 30 minute track, was a tape that came to light after the tree had just been circulated. It was halted so these 3 tracks (fade up on incomplete Afro Blue, Lush Life & My Favorite Things (inc.)) could be added. They listed them as being from this show, but having heard it myself, I don't think it is, but feel it is from 1965. I'd have to listen again, but I didn't hear Sanders & Garrett on any of these 3 songs. Aside from that, the tree is great. Nature Boy/Blue Valse w/ Archie Shepp is the lowest quality sounding part of the whole tree.

That is great! Seeing how someone else hears/sees music is always fasinating. I thought that the run at the end of the song, the red dot was going to hit all those other dots and make them disappear. This is one of my favorite Coltrane songs.
