    I wish I could make out what the 5 albums are that are leaning up. Hard to do from my phone. What year is that Steve? 92 to 94ish? I know he was into the cut off sleeve look around that time. 
     

    Awesome picture. 

    The first one is The Replacements - Let It Be.

  2. Pick up The Mob Rules on vinyl yesterday. Can’t say I loved it at the time, I was an Ozzy guy. But looking back, I was wrong, so wrong. The first two Dio era albums are balls out fantastic. I can’t understand how Turn Up The Night hasn’t been included in any live release.

    Mick Taylor should have kept his mouth shut about songwriting credits and just ride that gravy train he was on like all the others in the band. They were already fucking huge when he joined them and he was a kid, a very lucky kid. The fact of the matter is that Taylor was a coked out mess by the time he quit the band. If there is anybody who has the right to complain about songwriting credits you'd think it would be Watts and Wyman. Look up how many credits either of them have received, you can probably count it on one hand. But guess what? They're all multi millionaire's today. Hell, I'll guarantee even Wyman's replacement, Daryl Jones,  has shit tons of $ for slumming with the Stones since 1994. 

    Note: Ron Wood didn't really start receiving credits until he was about 4 albums in. Wood received zero credits for Some Girls and his contribution to that album was obviously monumental. And guess what? Never a complaint about credits because he understood the opportunity he was given. Its called foresight/ thinking ahead. Taylor was unable to understand that at the time. He could play solos like a motherfucker, but composition/songwriting abilities...not so much. Mick Taylor was kind of dumb to boot. 

    Absolutely disagree. There was no reason other than ego and greed for Jagger and Richards to not give songwriting credit where due. How much adulation and money is enough for those two.

    I think the hiss at the start is cool and the sound is something special too, I just wish Robert would articulate the words more precisely, he does it on all the other songs on the album pretty much. I guess it makes the song more mysterious though.

    The tape hiss makes me think the song was bounced too many times in its creation and this is the cause of the dullness as well.

    I will go further and say WIAWSNB, Celebration Day, IMTOD, Custard Pie, Sick Again were all the best live versions of those songs, Bar None.

    I'd add Ten Years Gone to that list. I adore the shit out of the 1977 and Knebworth versions but more more for what Jimmy was able to accomplish than finished product. Surprised P&P didn't take this a central song as the additional guitar(s) is truly needed,

    Well said. Whether anyone agees or not, and I haven't read through all the pages (not gonna either) but from what I did see, your's is the first post that is on point. I agree the Black Crowes collaboration was a better release. It very well should be as Jimmy had 2 other guitar tracks backing him up. I wil go further and say WIAWSNB, Celebration Day, IMTOD, Custard Pie, Sick Again were all the best live versions of those songs, Bar None. But again, 2 other guitars playing the backing guitar tracks from the album versions allowed Jimmy his full range of expression, so I am not saying they were a better band, just that if Jimmy played with an ensamble like that all the time, he'd be mentioned more often than Clapton as the greatest of all time. IMHO. But I'm not saying he should, just saying IF.

    Don't agreee totaly with the Gorman thing. Michael Lee was the best drummer for Jimmy post Bonham.

    I could go either way on Celebration Day. 

     

    Jimmy sounds so relaxed on Live at the Greek. A time she sounds very tentative on Celebration Day. Jimmy's tone on LatG is out of this world. Fucker was dialed in.

    I've never been a fan of Jason's drumming. He's not bad but he rides the shit out of his Dad's coattails. He has really good pocket and groove but so do a thousand other drummers. I didn't think there was an underlying funk to Michael Lee's playing (hence dumbing down some songs) but like him more Jason. ML supports vocals very nicely and I love his dynamics. He does more than hit hard.

    As for Buddy Guy, I saw him perform in 2015 and in 2016 with Jeff Beck. It's time for him to retire. His act now is 50 percent guitar playing and 50 percent shtick. There are a few moments worth listening to and the rest of it is annoying. 

    I love Buddy Guy and saw him over ten years ago and he was already 50% shtick back then. Such a great catalog to choose from and such a great guitarist when he wants to be yet he just goofs and guffaws for half the show or more. 

  8. Bonham brought all the technicality to the music that was required. We will never know if  there was more to him than he was able to put to use in Led Zeppelin. An expert uses the technique required to get the job done, Bonham did that in spades. Within his genre he is the most revered drummer there is, and only Keith Moon was more original within the genre. Charlie Watts does nothing flashy and I have no idea about his technique but his feel for the Stones is immaculate. 

    Joe Bonamassa is a guitarist I love and plays with flawless technique. I have never heard him hit a bad note live. Yet I yearn for him to play with a little less technique and a little more feel or haphazard. If you're not wiping out once in a while how can you be sure you are pushing yourself and your music.

    He wouldn't have stooped as low to be a power drummer lol. I'll stop.

    Bonham has his place and is King of his hill, but I stopped being impressed after I studied music more and understood the difference between barbarianism and sophistication. Don't get me wrong, I'll still get rigid when listening to IMTOD. He had an authenticity no one else could match.

    What about the ability to come up with drum beats that millions of people all over the world instantly recognize? There aren't much than a handful or two of those beats, and Bonham has three or four of them. There's so much more to Bonham than barbarianism.
