  1. Some would argue that his regalia was not SS, but Luftewaffe.

    I have no idea and either way it's Nazi era military.

    I have some (all?) of the 8mm you shot on a DVD titled Over America 1977.

    The DVD doesn't play correctly in my DVD deck, but I can watch it on my computer.

    It also has the 9th, shot from the floor. The angle doesn't give as much perspective on Jimmy's condition as your story in another thread.

    I should see if there is a torrent of this DVD.

    It needs to be liberated. :)

    Got me itching to hear that Easter show now too!

    Great job Chicago!

  2. High Head Blues - The Black Crowes, 'Amorica'

    Just the ticket to get my eyelids a little lighter, some dinner didn't hurt either :)

    I really like the sort of patchwork quality of this album.

    it's very clearly a studio artwork, but still retains an organic quality that makes easy to give for a second spin.

    But it's one of those albums that I've never managed to put a name to all of the songs, though I know them all to hear them. It all flows together as one solid piece so well. Great late model AOR. Won't see many more like this baby. It takes a much more laid back approach than the rough and ready sound of Southern Harmony.

  3. Apollo At The Ritz - The Grateful Dead, 'Infrared Roses'

    with Branford Marsalis guest.

    This is some really cool music, but

    after having not slept at all last night and going to work today,

    it's acting as more of a lullaby than accompaniment for my Japanese writing test revision.

    I am sooo sleepy now.... :coffee: need some of that right now.

    Little Nemo In Nightland - The Grateful Dead, 'Infrared Roses'

    Writing up those bits about some of the best shows I'd seen kind of got me nostalgic, so I've been revisiting some old favorites.

  4. Arpeggione-Sonata A-minor, D 821 (1824) - Franz Schubert

    Renaud Capuçon, violine

    Gautier Capuçon, violoncello

    Frank Braley, piano

    Schubertiade Schwarzenberg

    Angelika-Kauffmann-Saal

    Schwarzenberg (Austria)

    Hey, these guys are from my hometown!

    I'm A Believer - the Monkees

    You're from Pittsburgh?

    I lived there for about 7 or 8 years.

    I just found that Fourth River recording on the net a couple days ago.

  5. See this thread:

    http://forums.ledzeppelin.com//index.php?showtopic=953

    OK - it's a new month so I bought my new supply...

    A Love Supreme - John Coltrane

    Electric Ladyland - Jimi Hendrix Experience (can you believe I waited all this time to get this thing? I'd heard it before but never bothered buying it.)

    .

    These are two of my all time favorites, esp. the Coltrane. So perfect.

    Found these onsale while I was out Christmas shopping today, both at a very reasonable price (Buffett-$6.99, Zep-$11.34).

    Ha :lol: I have that Jimmy Buffet album. A relative sent it to me a few years ago.

    Ho, ho, ho and a bottle of rum! :lol: indeed. Santa's on Jah's cool run :hippy:

  6. .01 - Fourth River - live at Logan's Pub 2007-11-30

    This is a Pittsburgh based jam band heavily influenced by Phish, but

    this tune seems to have a little Dave Mathews flavor to it,

    different singer. I don't recognize more than half their numbers so I'm

    guessing they've got some original material in addition to a few crowd pleasers.

    ...continuing this show from last night, got this on recommendation

    cause I was curious what was going on in da 'burgh these days.

    I don't really know anything about this group, but I hear

    sax

    keyboard

    guitar

    bass

    drums

    The sax and keyboard player may be the same person, I should check for their homepage.

  7. Yep, the "uncensored" version I'm reading says "Richard Cole with Richard Trubo", so I'm sure Trubo did the actual writing.

    The one you're reading and the 2 Northern Monkey mentioned sound good, will check them out.

    Yeah, Japan's Minorities is very enlightening and a surprisingly smooth read for a social science book. It was written in 1997, though, so at times I find some of the language a little dated. It's a good starter for the essay I'm to write because it's just enough out of date that there are plenty of things I already want to follow up on to find out what's happened in the last ten years. :)

    I've got Stairway To Heaven on my bookshelf, I just couldn't pull myself away from the keyboard to check the credits, :lol::rolleyes: thanks for reminding me. John Paul Jones, is apparently not a fan of that book at all. The MOJO interview quotes him as saying he hasn't spoken to Cole since the book was published.... probably no reason to anyway, nor much chance, since last I heard Cole was in SoCal.

  8. Emilie LESBROS : vox / Raymond BONI : guitare, harmonica-

    b/c France Musique, "A l'Improviste", 14 November 2007

    Radio France, Studio 106

    Some pretty out there vocal improvisation.... guitar too

    reminds me of a CD called Vocal Neighborhoods

    Atomic Punk - Van Halen, Minneapolis 2007

    Van Halen is pretty hot on this tour aren't they? I was really blown away.

    I've just heard the 1st and 5th nights.

    Charlotte was an amazing tour opener.

    Led Zeppelin - Southampton 1/22/1973

    How do you like this recording. I just got this yesterday and have been listening to it all day now. I really like it. :thumbsup:

    Are you guys talking about the multi-track?

    Sounds great eh?

    It's funny/interesting to hear different sounds being experimented with, a little more or less reverb here and there. Bass guitar in and out and up and down in the mix and so forth. I really like the Dazed and Confused.

  9. Stairway To Heaven

    Currently reading The Stairway to Heaven, nearing the end.

    I read that a couple years ago. Fast read, I thought. Interesting to hear a familiar story in the form of Richard Cole's autobiography (surely ghost-written) :)

    I'm skipping around in this book,

    Weiner, Michael (editor) (1997) Japan's Minorities: The Illusion of Homogeneity,

    New York / London: Routledge
