Hope you've got a heated bench for you B-3!

OK.........so what are you guys wearing?

Whatever happened to Live Chat? Where's the crew? Free, Conn, Agg, Noj, Barak, ... ?

Monday @ Yoshi's: Larry Goldings Trio w/Peter Bernstein, Bill Stewart

Don't know Elderly.......are they good? I Googled their website, they seem to have lots of stuff.

Jorma wasn't a member of SVT. Obviously the concert was so loud it effected my memory too....

Jorma wasn't a member of SVT.

The Patti Smith show was very good. She's not even on tour, but was travelling back from Australia with her band and wanted to do an Arthur Rimbaud birthday celebration, so she booked the date. Did 2 hours + 1/2 hour encore. Very entertaining.

Forgot about Mahavishnu. I'm sure those concerts I saw were EXTREMELY loud for their time. More recently I've seen Radio Birdman a couple of times in club situations, and those shows were pretty ear-bleeding (although I was definitely wearing ear plugs).

Tomorrow (Monday, 10/20) - Patti Smith at the recently renovated Warfield Theater, here in SF. She always puts on a good show, IMO.

Jeff Beck Group, Foghat, Argent - Hollywood Paladium, 1972. "Technically" it may not have been the loudest show, considering improvements in PA systems over the years, but it sure felt like it at the time.

"Late November" is a welcome addition. While not terribly different from the "Northstar" version, it's still nice to hear.

This is a surprisingly strong album from start to finish. It really doesn't sound like a bunch of left-overs. Well worth picking up for any Fotheringay/Denny/Fairport fans.

This is a pleasant surprise! Not quite as good as the first, but considering how little is out there for this group, it's WELL worth a DL.

Vertical's Currency is a good place to start. ... and, yes, that's Jack Bruce on the cover. He's a "regular" on Hanrahan's albums.

FWIW, that album is available on eMusic.

DL-d BH today. That's a no-brainer. Also 3 Vee-Jay albums showed up. Irene Kral "Kral Space" Bill Henderson "Complete Vee-Jay Recordings, Vol 2" Yusef Lateef - S/T

I've downloaded several Mermen albums. If you like instrumental, psychedelic/surf music, they're certainly worth checking out. There are some Mission of Burma shows there, too.

Saw that. What's his story? (other than son of ...)

That wouls be fun. Where is that? Allan, she has a lot more going on than one line from one song. And I think she's pretty great live. UCSB In February. Part of series which also includes Sonny Rollins. THAT'S interesting. I need to go to SB sometime in the next several months on personal business. That might be a good excuse to make that trip.

Hoping to get to the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in GG Park tomorrow. As the name implies, it's not strictly a bluegrass festival. Check out the link.

I've seen them at Fez and twice at Yoshi's. Always a great performance. I haven't seen them at Iridium, but didn't care for the place the one time I was there. Very glad that they have relocated to Jazz Standard, which is much more "user friendly".

I've got tix for 10/20 here in SF.

More Adams/Pullen today as well as several more Timeless albums.

Today's Timeless stuff is nice, too. As mentoned, couple of Adams/Pullen sets ("Moon Beams" SMOKES!). Also Timeless All Stars (Hutcherson, Fuller, Land, Walton, Higgins, Buster Williams) "Timeless Heart", Woody Shaw, John Hicks and some late-era Blakey. Oh, yes......and Eastern Rebellion 2 (the original already showed up) w/Bob Berg instead of George Coleman. VERY nice album.
