    3 hrs long is a little much, but what a spectacle to see Berkman and Tejada slammin' balls over the wall into the street. Gonna be watchin' the game tonite :)

    I was guessin' Sosa was gonna win - I never would have guessed Tejada would win AND set a new record! Very cool stuff!

    GO BREWERS! (and Mariners, but is there any hope?)

    Tony Williams also had another group he called Lifetime, with Allan Holdsworth, Alan Pasqua & ?(Can't remember the guy's name.)Their stuff was very much in the fusion mode.

    I think that's the group I was thinking of when I thought of Lifetime - not the sweetness of LY/JM/TW

    The Tony Williams Lifetime is TW, John McLaughlin, and Larry Young!?!?!

    Where the heck have I been for 30 or so years!!?!?!

    and why didn't any of you guys tell me? :)

    Anyway, just picked this up last night - smokin'!

    Also had to get Santana/McLaughlin for more JM/LY magic.

    Is there anything else I need to know :D

    also - sorry I haven't been around lately- Easter is a busy time for me - life should be a bit more normal now. Sharingthegroove.org has got my attention recently as well.

    :excited:

  14. Too Pooped To Pop

    in Miscellaneous - Non-Political

    Posted · Edited by Aftab

    Dude, I hear ya.

    I've got no time , but it seems like I've got all the time in the world - it just plain runs away from me.

    I've got CDs from a year or two ago that I haven't got a chance to listen to, hell, even cracking the darn shrink wrap.

    I'm the type who needs some time alone - like now - but to get it I gotta stay up too late. Then I'm beat all the next day.

    My computer desk is totally trashed - I'm sure I just cleaned it yesterday.

    I haven't even had a chance to post here much recently.

    Well, maybe a beer and some Chet will fix it all for now.

    -_-

  21. Chick Corea's Legacy

    in Artists

    Posted

    I hear Chick Corea and I think "Spain", then I think Elektrik Band, then I think pre-Columbia post Airto RTF. I've seen him live a whole bunch of times, each with a different band, and they were some of the most amazing shows - Akoustic Band, Elektrik Band, Elektrik Band II, and the New Trio - all phenom!

  23. Yes (the band) Reissues

    You cannot be serious!

    totally NOT kidding, but thanks for the 'dis' :g

    There's a lot of music other than Jazz that I listen to - prog stuff, gospel, sarah maclachlan type stuff, classic rock - hey if it's good and well done/played, it's worth a shot.

    People ask me what type of music I like - I say "the good kind" and leave it* at that :)

    * a lil' YES joke

  24. Yes (the band) Reissues

    in Re-issues

    Posted

    I was finally able to pick up the 3 new YES reissues - Tormato, Drama, and 90125 - 3 of my fave YES projects. I got in to the band around BIG GENERATOR so my first love are these albums that come at the end of the 70's start of the 80's. I know for some diehard YES fans, these might not be their first or second choices, but I love this stuff.

    I'm particulary pscyched for DRAMA - it gets such a bum rap because Jon Anderson isn't on it. I think that's what makes it stand out - YES were able to continue sans Anderson (not as sucessful as say Van Halen after DLR, but I digress). Of course, he was back in a couple of years with 90125. The tunes have never sounded better, and the bonus tracks give a look into the creative process (3 of them feature Anderson).

    I haven't gotten to hear the other 2, but from the way DRAMA sounds, this is gonna be the best 30 bucks I've spent in a while :)

    Any thoughts?
