  1. Here's a review of the show pictured above.......it's pretty good....

    starbulletin_review.jpg

    click on it and magnify....

    you'll see that the sound level reached 125db....and someone was talking the other day that loud nowadays is 100db.....HA !! Shows used to be SO MUCH LOUDER back then !!

    They're just too safe now...

    My seats were on the first row of the side mezzanine about 60 feet from the stage...

    Cost....$6.75 !!! Same seat now would fetch $350-$450.....

  2. With Mick Taylor...they were absolutely the best live version of the Stones without a doubt. As far as studio output, I like the early Stones with Brian Jones as much as the Taylor era....but in a different way...more of a pop-rock band...than the rocknroll machine of '69-'74. Here's some pictures of the show I saw the Stones at....I have the bootleg too !! :D

    Mick Jagger and Keith Richards still hadn't even turned 30 yet ! :lol:

  3. No I wore really uncomfortable shoes for the church gig :lol: I once had a really embarrassing moment when I was bowing after playing with my quartet and my shoe came flying off (the uncomfortable one). :lol: It was SO embarrassing though!

    I only wore the flipflops cos it was summertime, outside, and rather casual. I mean, look at the cellist, he's wearing jeans and sneakers. :lol:

    Hell....you shoulda kicked off the other one too !! :lol: I'd say you'd have gotten a good laugh from the audience....kinda like a Victor Borge moment !!

  4. That really is cool zoso13zeppelin !!!

    You have such great posture and form in your attack ! I'm listening to a 'chamber' quartet live as I type....not the usual one by any means...this is a cellist, xylophonist, flutist, and pedal steel player....they just did a Zappa ditty !! wow !

    You'd surely appreciate it....love to hear your stuff...post a link ! :D

  5. I'm at the Edgehill Cafe and presently there's a quartet made up of a xylophone, clarinet/flute, cello and pedal steel guitarist doing chamber music !

    I was surprised on several fronts. First of all, I thought the place was closing at 7p but this is a special event...coincidence that I'm here...plus as the xylophonist was walking in....I recognized him as being the drummer to one of Nashville's finest alltime homespun bands. THE NERVE. They were together here in the mid to later 80s and I used to go see them all the time...so we spoke a bit....He also informed me one of the guitarists for THE NERVE, Danny Rhodes, is ill with cancer...:( , but his prognosis is hopeful. Danny was who I knew best in the band and haven't seen him since 1995. I used to stay with him on my visits here back then...so bad news...and good that I get to hear this music....it's excellent.

    These guys are GREAT !! Totally professional and well tuned...seasoned as well....

    Right now they're doing a 'chamber' version of.....uhh...something off Pet Sounds...it's on the tip of my tongue....

    Oh well I'll stop...these posts are so hurriedly looked over...it'll just get buried as I'm talking to myself ...probably. But it was fun typing it....:D

  6. Nothing wrong with a little country music.

    Of course, what comes out of Nashville these days really isn't country music, you know.

    What comes out of Nashville these days is crap.

    Seriously, though- Slim Jim and the Mad Cows is tongue in cheek, it's theater as much as it's music. And they have the chops to pull it off.

    Wish I knew how to post their version of the Immigrant Song. That'd make them some fans. Or get me flame broiled, can't decide.

    Hard to tell if you're serious about the 'crap' part..but....

    I guess you don't care much for Alison Krause and respect the fact that a bunch of Nashville Cats played on their collaborative cd. There are incredible musician's here putting out some damn fine music....whether it's country or not. One of the guitarists with Alison and Robert is Buddy Miller...he's a guitarist's guitarist....rather unsung...and his own material is EXCELLENT.

    But maybe you were just kidding because surely you know alot of the old great NY and LA musician's have moved here and still put out their music...from here. Oh and Jack White lives here...but we all know the White Stripes are shit too..:lol:

  7. Watching my daughter open her birthday presents.

    And trading a few words with me old mucker Joel.

    And that in turn made me happy too. :D

    My ole buddy Big BlueS*.....

    *just cause you forgot...I didn't, but wanted to comply with the new BB....

  8. When it gets a bit quiet...with just his vocals at one point....'his sister will'....

    you can hear his amp noise some, an electronic buzzing ...but otherwise..it sounds fine...

    * the date is 5-24-69 btw, in case you look for it in bootleg form.

  9. Another thought about "In the West." I found this download on a Russian site and they have quite a different tracklisting than what I have read elsewhwhere:

    In the West

    Anyone know what to make of this?

    The original doesn't have Machine Gun or Stone Free, or the alt. version of Johnny B. Goode. Originally the songs Voodoo Child and Little Wing were attributed to the San Diego Sports Arena where Red House is from. These were actually recorded at the Royal Albert Hall but couldn't be mentioned on the original album because of legal technicalities...

    You can see below where each of the songs from the original release were recorded and what releases they are on NOW...so you can reconstruct In The West..from these sources if you like...

    Hendrix in the West was re-issued on CD in Germany and in Japan, but it is now deleted from the catalogue, and copies are very rare.

    Five of the eight tracks from the album were included on The Jimi Hendrix Experience Box Set, released in 2000. The tracks included were "Johnny B. Goode", "Blue Suede Shoes", "Little Wing", "Red House", and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)".

    "The Queen" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" were included on Blue Wild Angel: Live at the Isle of Wight, released in 2002. "Lover Man" as well as the rest of the second Berkeley set was released on 2003's Jimi Hendrix: Live At Berkeley.

    original listing....

    CD track list:

    1. "Johnny B. Goode" (Berry) – 4:45

    2. "Lover Man" – 3:05

    3. "Blue Suede Shoes" (Perkins) – 4:26

    4. "Voodoo Chile" – 7:49

    5. "The Queen" (from the British national anthem "God Save the Queen" - traditional) – 2:40

    6. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (Lennon/McCartney) – 1:16

    7. "Little Wing" – 3:14

    8. "Red House" – 13:06

    1, 2, 3: Berkeley Community Center, 30 May 1970 (2 & 3 - First Show,1 - Second Show); Hendrix, Mitchell, Cox

    4, 7: Royal Albert Hall, 24 Feb 1969; Hendrix, Mitchell, Redding

    5, 6: Isle of Wight Festival, 31 Aug 1970; Hendrix, Mitchell, Cox

    8: San Diego Sports Arena, 24 May 1969; Hendrix, Mitchell, Redding

    The Royal Albert Hall performances were originally attributed to San Diego in an attempt to avoid copyright issues.

  10. For transportability....remote listening...nothing wrong with listening that way....

    And see...you do the RIGHT THING...you rip from your CD's ! So you have that for the home....please don't support the mp3 industry 'standard' though by buying your music at that bitrate.....

    In the 'old' days....we'd make cassettes for the car or remote listening...SURE !! For convienience and we couldn't lug our records everywhere....but we recorded them from VINYL ... bought, borrowed, begged or stolen !! But we had the original full sounding source..and supported THAT industry....

    Some just don't care though...that's the rub.....:(
