This one cracks me up:

^^ Cheers! I will have to check it out.

^^ Cool, thanks. Is it a complete concert?

^^ Great sound! Is it taken from an offical live release?

On Friday, The Flight Reaction. On Saturday, Moving Sounds. In other words, a very Mod 60's weekend.

God damn it, I can't stop listening to The Sadies new album, Darker Circles. I highly recomend it! This is one of my favorites, a really beautiful song: Second single and video from Darker Circles:

I'd like to recomend checking out UK singer/songwriter Pete Molinari. He's got a great voice I think. He has made three album, the third, A Train Bound For Glory, which is recently released. He played here in Sweden last June, but unfortunately I missed his gig.. http://www.petemolinari.co.uk/ Here's a couple of tunes:

Ah, cool! Thanks for the tip! I do have Spotify and will check em out there.. Damn, that's a pretty good bonus buying those deluxe editions though!

Finally got a vinyl copy of: The Sadies - Darker Circles (2010) This one goes in the "best album of 2010" category for me! While there I found a LP I have been looking for quite a while, and I bought that one too: Baby Shambles - Shotter's Nation (2007) Fantastic album, a modern classic!! Ebay finds (all 45's): John Zacherle - / Dinner with drac Part 2 (Cameo 1958) Little Junor Parker - / (Duke 1961) The Triumphs - Burnt bisquits / Raw dough (Volt 1961) Larry Dale - Big muddy / What your love means to me (Glover 1960) Chuck Danzy - / Jay walking (Nu-Tone 196?) Louis (Blues Boy) Jones - Come on home / I cried (Sabra 196?) Willie Harper - / New kind of love (Alon 1961)

On Topic: Does anyone have a suggestion for a compilation with outtakes, demos, alternative versions etc etc? It would be really cool to add to my collection and it would be interesting to hear the progress from early tapes to finished songs. Thanks.

I am not by far any expert. Seems like the otherway as you so easily disclaim any other bands than Zep as the greatest. And yes, no one will give a shit in 100 years what you or I think, which was my point, nothing else. I really don't give a damn if you can't see the influence Sabbath have had on modern music. After all, you don't listen to any thing post 70's which you have pointed out a million times yourself, so how in the world would you know. It's your loss. You sound like a fourteen year old on a Beatles concert 1965. I wonder who's sleeping...

It's hard to take guys like you and Silvermedalist seriously. I don't see myself like a "die hard zep fan", "zep's the greatest" or "zep forever" kind of fan, not when it comes to Zep or any other band or artist. Zep was a great band, so were the Sabs and 100 other great rock'n'roll bands. If any, I am a die hard music fan. I would never limit myself to anything else. But who the fuck cares in hundred years anyways.. This is my second 2 cents for this discussion, and the end of it..

Diversity does not make a rock and roll band sophisticated. My two cents.

Thanks. Nope, never tried that, I wouldn't get a straight tone out of the guitar doin' that.. LOL I leave that to the professionals.

LOL Thanks! Indeed, it is a great way to spend a Saturday night. I didn't get to bed until 05:00 am early Sunday morning.. Here's another song from the same night, a little rough around the edges, but what the hell..

I was on this gig, Saturday 25th Sep. I'm the guy on the right with the black & white Epiphone Crestwood.. LOL

That kind of policy by The Black Crowes must be quite new.. I get the feeling they never had any requests like that back in the days..

Had to bid on a couple of really great Excello 45's.. Got these three: Lightnin' Slim - Bad Luck And Trouble / Have Your Way (Excello 1956) Awesome two-sider with great swamp blues. This is Lightnin' Slims fourth single. Lightnin' Slim - I Leavin' You / Feelin' Awful Blue (Excello 1958 or '59) The ninth single from Lightnin' Slim, just as great as any of his early singles! Roscoe Shelton - Is It Too Late Babe / Baby Look What You've Done (Excello 1960) Really nice rhythm and blues!!

Went by a second hand vinyl store this evening when I was heading home from work. Got a little inspired to look for Black Sabbath albums that I don't have.. Ended up with these three classic albums, all on vinyl: Black Sabbath - Paranoid 13th Floor Elevators - Easter Everywhere On their groundbreaking debut album, the 13th Floor Elevators sometimes sounded as if they were still learning how to work with the strange beast of their own creation known as psychedelic rock. But their second set, 1967's Easter Everywhere, found them a great deal more comfortable and confident with their loose and hypnotically trippy approach. Easter Everywhere doesn't have an out-of-the-box classic cut like "You're Gonna Miss Me" or "Fire Engine" from The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators, but in many ways it's a more cohesive and consistent work, and the subtle but effective structures of the longer tracks grow and develop through repeated listenings, while rockers like "She Lives (In a Time of Her Own)" and "Levitation" pack a surprisingly visceral punch. Stacy Sutherland was never a blazing guitar hero, but his concise aural punctuations on the epochal "Slip Inside This House" and a superb cover of Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" are perfectly suited to the material. In addition, the rhythm section of Dan Galindo on bass and Danny Thomas on drums locks these songs into place with confidence and skill. The strange patterns of Tommy Hall's electric jug playing are as gloriously bewildering as ever, merging the music of the spheres with an alien attack, and Roky Erickson's vocals make even the most acid-damaged poesy sound passionate, graceful, and wildly alive. And Roky and the Elevators never sounded sweeter and saner than they did on the penultimate tune, "I Had to Tell You," with Roky seemingly offering a postscript to his many sad years to follow with the words "If you fear I'll lose my spirit/Like a drunkard's wasted wine/Don't you even think about it/I'm feeling fine." Even if less influential than The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators, Easter Everywhere is every bit as compelling and a true benchmark of early psychedelic rock — not bad for an album produced by Kenny Rogers' brother. Electric Prunes - Underground According to Electric Prunes members Jim Lowe and Mark Tulin, producer Dave Hassinger enjoyed enough success as a result of the group's early hit singles and their subsequent debut album that he was too busy to spend much time with them as they were recording the follow up, and that was arguably a good thing for the band. While Underground didn't feature any hit singles along the lines of "I Had to Much to Dream (Last Night)," it's a significantly more consistent work than the debut, and this time out the group was allowed to write five of the disc's twelve songs, allowing their musical voice to be heard with greater clarity. As on their first LP, the Electric Prunes' strongest asset was the guitar interplay of Jim Lowe, Ken Williams and James "Weasel" Spagnola, and while they became a bit more restrained in their use of fuzztone, wah-wah and tremolo effects, there's a unity in their attack on Underground that's impressive, and the waves of sound on "Antique Doll," "Big City" and " "Children of Rain" reveal a new level creative maturity (though they could make with a wicked, rattling fuzz on "Dr. Do-Good"). If Underground ultimately isn't as memorable as the Electric Prunes' first album, it's a matter of material — while the outside material that dominated the debut was sometimes ill-fitting, it also gave them some stone classic tunes like "I Had Too Much to Dream" and "Get Me to the World on Time," and the band themselves didn't have quite that level of songwriting chops, while the hired hands didn't deliver the same sort of material for Underground. Still, the album shows that the Electric Prunes had the talent to grow into something more mature and imaginative than their reputation suggested, and it's all the more unfortunate that the group's identity would be stripped from them for the next album released under their name, Mass in F Minor.

^^ Really nice cover!! I haven't heard it before. Actually, I haven't heard that record, but I will have to buy it next time I see it.

Perry and The Travellers, really great rockin live band. They have made one album which you can find and purchase at their myspace. Their music is definitely influenced by bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Thin Lizzy and Derek & The Dominos.

Well, thank you, you are too kind. I think Chowder's words wasn't aimed at me, for some strange reason I was quoted Jahfin's words LOL

I really want to get Sabotage and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, I am a bit curious about those albums. I have a friend who's favorite Sabbath album is Sabotage too. The cover art it self for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath makes me want a copy of that album. LOL

Agian, check out Basement Tapes which was recorded around the time Music From The Big Pink were recorded.. It's right up there as the two first Band albums, IMHO. The official release of The Basement Tapes — which were first heard on a 1968 bootleg called The Great White Wonder — plays with history somewhat, as Robbie Robertson overemphasizes the Band's status in the sessions, making them out to be equally active to Dylan, adding in demos not cut at the sessions and overdubbing their recordings to flesh them out. As many bootlegs (most notably the complete five-disc series) reveal, this isn't entirely true and that the Band were nowhere near as active as Dylan, but that ultimately is a bit like nitpicking, since the music here (including the Band's) is astonishingly good. The party line on The Basement Tapes is that it is Americana, as Dylan and the Band pick up the weirdness inherent in old folk, country, and blues tunes, but it transcends mere historical arcana by being lively, humorous, full-bodied performances. Dylan never sounded as loose, nor was he ever as funny as he is here, and this positively revels in its weird, wild character. For all the apparent antecedents — and the allusions are sly and obvious in equal measures — this is truly Dylan's show, as he majestically evokes old myths and creates new ones, resulting in a crazy quilt of blues, humor, folk, tall tales, inside jokes, and rock. The Band pretty much pick up where Dylan left off, even singing a couple of his tunes, but they play it a little straight, on both their rockers and ballads. Not a bad thing at all, since this actually winds up providing context for the wild, mercurial brilliance of Dylan's work — and, taken together, the results (especially in this judiciously compiled form; expert song selection, even if there's a bit too much Band) rank among the greatest American music ever made. Personally, I somewhat disagree with the allmusic.com review above, after all, Dylan is backed by The Band on all songs and their presence and influence is very obvious in the songs.
