  1. Whadaya think? What every tried and true Zep freak should be listening to. The newest '75 soundboard from the Nassau Coliseum. It's a no brainer !!!!!!
  2. Getting the new sounboard recording of the Feb. 14, 1975 Nassau Zep show !!!!
  3. Lead singer Bobby Gillespie has described the album as "an anarcho-syndicalist speedfreak road movie record!" It's sorta ambient, psychedelic trance krautrock. Great stuff.
  4. The moon has NO atmosphere for a catastrophic meteor hit to affect. Our atmosphere burns up the VAST majority of meteors entering it, whereas any heading toward the moon find no resistance to burn them up. A really big one to hit us could create the "nuclear winter" spoken of. Yeah, the Earth would survive but we as a species would be in peril. We might make a comeback in billions of years as a recycling of evolution could take place. The moon is down Casting it's shadow over the night-haunted town Mystical figures under the silence of light The trembling air Drifts slowly unseen over the houses there And echoes changing into the voices of night On the edge of twilight whispering Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper, On the edge of twilight whispering Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper Elusive time In limbo active in never ending mime The edge of twilight into the darkness of day Shulman, Shulman, Shulman and Minnear
  5. Writing on the Wall Adrian Belew, Les Claypool, Danny Carey Adrian is about 59 years old and plays better than anyone I know of that age. Too bad more don't know him.
  6. A show I just downloaded and converted. Funny shit. Thurston just stopped Bull in the Heather because of high end feedback. He sorta cusses the soundguy, not meanly though, more humorously. He and his wife, Kim, exchange some more funnies and it's back into the song ! The crowd laughs too. * Oh, btw, notice how that kid on the right looks like Jimmy Page !
  7. In 1969 they had many bands in 'support' at the several festivals they played. Also early on, they had Iron Butterfly in a crumbled support role, actually LZ WAS the support but blew IB off the stage, so at least in one case, at the Fillmore East, IB didn't even come out to play onstage. That first tour in late '68 - early '69 LZ also supported Vanilla Fudge at their west coast dates. After that Led Zeppelin were the headliners. Check out the various summer of 1969 festivals LZ played to see all the bands that played 'with' them. For instance the Newport Jazz Fest, Schafer Music Fest, and the Texas Pop Festival. Here's some cool stuff on their early days in the US. http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/ledzeppel...elin-in-america
  8. They're the best band out there still doing NEW music after 25 years of being together. From noise to melodic pop, they cover it all and are EXCELLENT live !!
  9. Finally after 35 years ! I bought this during an in-store performance by Jerry Douglas. We talked about his appearances accompanying Lyle Lovett and Alison Krause. Cool guy.
  10. Whoa ZFF !! I think I count 10 of the same posts when your internet fucked up. That's BITCHIN' !!!! I just highly recommend a Fleetwood Mac fan to check out 'Future Games'. Listen to the spaced-outed-ness of it. The songs, "Woman of 1,000 Years, Sands of Time, Future Games". It's a trip. By the way, I had both issues on vinyl. Yellow and Green. Import: Domestic: Oh, and here's the cover for Bare Trees. This won some kind of cover-art award in '72. Minimalist ehh ? Another great one.
  11. Hmmm...well, I just remember being very frustrated about not being able to go to the show. I only heard 'Penguin' once or twice so my memory is very faded about that, but yeah, the Bob Welch era is ingrained forever !! I know this has mainly been a Peter Green thread, but the TITLE does say FLEETWOOD MAC mostly, so I'd mentioned Danny Kirwan who played with Welch and also played with the Peter Green FM, but we can't forget Jeremy Spencer. ( I see you included that too) HE was with Green in the earliest years and held his own very well. Then came Kirwan, Welch, Weston then Lindsey Buckingham. FM definately had their 'rotating' guitarists for a while. Nice thread ZFF, you certainly had a personal touch with the band.
  12. I first got into Fleetwood Mac in 1972 with Future Games and Bare Trees. These were post-Green but still really good. They were the beginning of the Bob Welch era. He later became a bit 'softer', like FM did with Buckingham and Nicks, and even with his time with FM Welch added a spacey-mellow edge to their sound. Danny Kirwan gave the band the 'harder' edge at that time, '71-'72. I drifted from interest with the Buckingham/Nicks era. It wasn't my cup of tea. I went back and discovered the Peter Green era later on and enjoy it muchly, but my favorite was that music I first heard, the above mentioned ones's. I have each the albums Peter Green were on thru the Welch era, the last being Mystery to Me. Bob Weston, on guitar, had a stint with them, I believe it was the 'Penguin' album. I'd lost interest by then, 1973ish. I still have a FULL ticket of the time in February, 1972 a friend gave it to me. I couldn't get a ride to the concert hall and was too young to drive myself. On the bill with Fleetwood Mac were John Mayall and Long John Baldry.
  13. It doesn't really matter how long it's been. The authorities have freaked everyone out enough to believe it happens nearly everyday or a school shooting and such, to where you might as well wear a bullet proof vest each time you do just about anything. It is afterall, a changed world. Ironic there was a school hostage situation incident today, no one was hurt, involving a potential shooter. First one I can think of lately though. He brought his envelopes but apparently he had cottonmouth and couldn't lick the stamps. Good thing, huh ? I'm happy today because I'm getting a bunch of music files burnt after days and days of downloading flacs, converting, and organizing. Each time I burn a cd, I put the flacs and sometime wav's on my external harddrive. I'm only this meticulous about some things. Music being the numbero uno priority.
  14. Lush and haunting music, appropo for Halloween, from this NYC band transplanted to Germany. They're somewhat in the vein of a Portishead direction.
