...that was a slow blues and used quarter tone harmonies in the section work? Not sure it was released at the time or if it's an archive thing or what exactly. I thought I had it on my hard drive but don't. It's not "Headquarters", that's not it. It's a slow blues. Ring a bell with anybody?

This went up yesterday on You Tube.

He made better records for riverside (mostly), no doubt. But I think he was a better player after he went to Capitol. Tone richened, fingers loosened up, harmonic palate expanded, everything. Not right at first, but not long thereafter. It's a drag that those two parts of his career never quite lined up, better player AND better records, although he made money all the way, gotta be happy about that. Too many people don't.

I got the records, what I want is a serious DVD of all or most Roy Wood footages. The visuals that go along with the musics are just that much more! It's like the missing link between the Bonzos & ELO. People be hatin' on ELO like they were some kind of serious drip thing, and yeah, there's that, but there's also some of the dryest uses of Beatlehooks every, you know they gotta be having a good laugh when they wrote that. And Roy Wood, geeeeesus, if you can't laugh along with that, then you for damn sure can't laugh along with Dylan, which to me means you're not really getting it. Are there any laughs in Eric Clapton? Ever? I mean, the guy's just too damn earnest about it, always.

You might need more Wizzard!

Maybe he wasn't grinning when he mad stuff like this, but I do more than grin, I ROTFLMFAO, sometimes dangerously so! Presenting Eddie and the Falcons is one of the crowning achievements of 20th Century Pop (seriously), but it's not for everybody. You gotta be willing to look at it like...pouring salt in an open wound isn't necessarily cruel, it's also essentially what you do every time you fix a steak. "Fate is not so helpless after all"....JEEEEESUSSSS!!!!!!

I think Dylan likes it when people laugh, I think that's part of what he does, it's built into so much of it. People who take him seriously without also hearing the really dry/arch whimsy in there...either they're not getting it or else I'm not. Then again, I feel the same way about Roy Wood & ELO, and people tell me I'm nuts. Maybe so, but there are some things in life you just can't do unless there's a grin in there somewhere.

Deep catalog, what a concept!

Truthfully, I think that both the praise and the dislike around him are way out of proportion. He's an incredibly professional and sincere mid-level talent. Upper mid-level, if that makes sense. But not even in Cream did I feel like he was God....or even a good preacher. Not even.

I think that's completely fair - and accurate. I myself think he didn't really mature/deepen/whatever until later in life, right around the time he started recording for ECM.

They were brothers, ya' know.

What happened to him? Serious question, I do/would not know.

I think he should do Cream Unplugged.

Can he get Phil Spector out on furlough long enough to produce?

How long was Getz/Gilberto on the charts? I knew that Time Out sold well and for a long time, but I did not know that it had gone Platinum (or at least Shishkabobedia says it did).

Oh, that guy. Why's he doing records for Target, is he married to Amy Grant now?

So who the hell is Steve Perry?

It would have been even more amusing if the crowd got viscerally excited... Which Hilltune was it, do you recall?

Steve Perry, is he the guy from Journey or the Guy from Aerosmith?

was it a jimdandy crackerjack of a show?

Yes to Radio Nights as well as Live! & Money In The Pocket. The former is with Charles Lloyd, the latter with Herbie Lewis(!!!!). And I'll go to the mat for both The Price You Got To Pay To Be Free & The Black Messiah, but if you're not ready for a bunch of all-over-the-place-ness, then tread lightly. But for my money, those are the records that show just how much Cannonball was happy to lose the "saxophone star" thing and to fully embrace the role of "cultural marketplace" for his presentation. That didn't delight everybody, but I love those records in a way I don't love his others. Not more love, just different love.

No idea, just found it yesterday. But there are a lot of shows by a lot of bands, not just Kenton. To say nothing of all the other radio shows, dramas, mysteries, comedies, etc. It;a an amazing resource, period,
