  1. what a fantastic tone, and Paul Rogers was not over singing- thank you Deborah J

    hope you enjoy this Deborah J- you may recognize the first two minutes as it is a commonly played snippet by Jeff Beck... then my favorite THE FIRM song. Money Can't Buy... they played this at the sound check in Oklahoma City in '86 and it went on and on and on....

    This Album:-)

    ^^I love this version of Spirit Of Love posted by clayopalstar's.

  2. personal opinion is that I enjoy(ed) maybe 5% of Lennon's catalog. Less than 1% of his solo- scratch that- his non-Beatles work. Not sure that makes him a superior artist or less of one or some where in between. The little bit I have read and seen I thought he was way out there and pretty much a nut case.

    I am in New York often for work and pleasure, the imagine mosaic in the sidewalk is in my opinion poor taste not in artistic quality rather in that it memorializes inappropriately the place where a man met his end and his maker. I think it glorifies a murder. Probably wrong, it just creeps me out.

    Insofar as Lennon being a hypocrite- I won't get in line to throw any stones. I will say that what he lived is what we all live- and that is- we all live our choices. No one gets a pass.

  3. when she leaned into it- no one could bring it better... back when she was motivated and not over managed this girl was the best- loved her concerts. I saw her on this tour in '77 and on a couple of songs they jammed and she sang scat with the bass and guitar player. Usually her management kept her on too short a leash to let her sing the way she wanted to.

    I saw Heart, Linda Ronstadt, Carly Simon, Leon Russell and Joe Walsh in the same week. If only I had known how good I had it...

  4. As a point of discussion, what do you think Page's contributions are as an executive producer?

    People tend to view his work with Led Zeppelin through a lens of being a guitar player. This is to say, he is a guitar player who also produces. While true, I have heard and been a part of several interesting conversations over the years that focus just on the production side of things. Selecting and managing engineers. Spending months mixing. With the depth of experience in this forum, it interests me to know what you feel about Page's work as EP for Led Zeppelin.

    What has come up in conversations previously:

    1. A few people think the title EP is a label more than anything.

    2. Some have feverishly made a case that Page's producing outweighs his contributions as co-songwriter, possibly even outweighing his guitar playing

    3. More than one conversation has anchored the point that Page's producing was too heavy and stifled the band.

    4. Page excels at collaboration in his producing just as he does in songwriting, song performance- his dynamics as producer bring out the best in the band

    Discuss please? Very interested to know what you think and where you are on this. Gratzi.

  5. the Monk does it all

    for jazz, I enjoy playing it more than listening to it.

    why? when I play back the recording of the show it NEVER sounds like I remember it sounding it when I played it... don't have an answer. Not the case when covering songs or playing original, formatted material.

    especially on the odd time signatures, the playback is not what I heard when it was happening. It's a joy, it's a puzzle- it's jazz

  6. I am constantly amazed at the care and effort the people on this forum put forth creatively and share. 'tis a beautiful thing. I listened to my ITTOD LP last night while cleaning out the truck (a new year's resolution) and I kept going back to the sleeve and packaging. What a unique release. I have to admit I replayed the intro to ITE several times.

    Here is my improved version of ITTOD with running order and edits

    Side 1.

    1. In the Evening
    2. Darlene
    3. Fool in the Rain (minus the awful samba section!)
    4. Ozone Baby

    Side 2.

    1. Carouselambra (edited down to 5 mins and minus the horrendous disco euro-beat synths after the bridge!)
    2. All My Love (rubbish trumpet synth solo replaced by monster Page solo - he sounds asleep in this song!)
    3. Walters Walk (Stargroves '72 out-take included in this release)
    4. Wearing and Tearing

    South Bound Saurez, Hot Dog and I'm Gonna Crawl to be dropped on the grounds of being not worthy of the Zep mantle! Now we might be talking about a great album!
