    The Who Thread

    in Other Bands / Music

    Posted · Edited by bonzovonludwig

    Thirty Years of Maximum R&B Live (on DVD) has been reissued, boasting of three additional songs. However, they omit to say the it is also missing three songs.

    This was also done with the Who's Better, Who's Best DVD.

    Yeah I think the Tanglewood 1970 was omitted..what a burn..Great performance.

    :o Holy sh1t... these guys formed in 1967!?... totally did not realize that.

    I just pulled the LP I have off the rack, and it's definitely 1981's "Freeze Frame"

    I think my opinion is skewed because I've only heard their later stuff after, according to Wikipedia, "they turned towards pop".

    I think I had better listen to some of their early sh1t. Blues/rock!? I had no idea.

    Sounds like these guys might float my boat after all.

    Have a listen to Sno-Cone....Good stuff. WCSX play the odd Geils rarity.Usually on the Ken Calvert drive home.They're one of his favourite bands. B)

    I don't know what it is about these guys but their stuff just seems so dated to me. Granted I've only ever heard one album (is it titled "Freeze Frame"? If I remember right, I think the cover is the guys standing around a ladder in painters get-ups...) and I've never seen/heard them live, but just the late 70's in general... doesn't do anything for me.

    I can listen to ANYTHING related to rock or blues from 1950-1975 and from 1990-2000 all day long and they never get old, but for the late 70's in general... they're good for a few listens then get old...

    In a way I'm pissed off I've never come across anything I can listen to consistently from the late 70's. Being a huge fan of music, I can, and do, only blame myself.., but maybe I've been turned off by the crap they play on the radio and never had the drive to investigate deeper...

    Is there a different album you could recommend of these guys? Preferably live?

    There are two good live sets that are worth looking for..First is " Full House " from 1972 and the other is from 1976 and is called "Blow Your Face Out". Two strong live albums. Another place to start your Geils collection would be to look for a two disc set put out by Rhino called "Houseparty-The J.Geils Band Anthology".

    Oakland Incident?

    in Led Zeppelin Master Forum

    John Paul Jones recounting the incident for journalist Chris Welch, later claims the band were already packed and ready to leave the San Francisco Hilton Hotel on the morning of Monday the 25th. They assumed (wrongly) that Bill Graham would honour a letter of indemnity he signed on the 24th, and that there would be no police action during the rest of the tour. The police entered the lobby and security man Greg Bettler then stopped the police and asked them what was going on. He managed to persuade them from entering their rooms and called G, to get himself, Cole, Bindon and Bonham to come down to the lobby instead. Jones and his family were ushered out the back while the talking was going on. Their motorhome was parked across the street and they drove off to Oregon for a brief stay while the events unfolded. Page and Plant with Peter's son Warren followed the police entourage to Oakland in a Mercedes limousine, via the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. Bail was secured for all four in Oakland. They then returned to the hotel, with Grant and Page spending the rest of the day sorting out the legal mess with solicitors. Bonzo, Cole, and Plant had already collected their belongings and caught a flight to New Orleans via San Francisco International Airport, booking into the Royal Orleans Hotel, where the rest of the band were expected to meet up.

    Jones has said that Bill Graham was not a likable man, always screaming at people, since the band's first encounter with him way back in the Fillmore days.

    Peter Grant: "It was just a very regrettable incident. But we were up against Bill Graham's security guys with their gloves filled with sand. We didn't want to get into that. There were wives with us and we had brought our kids with us for that part of the tour."

    Jimmy Page: "All those horrific stories about what's supposed to have happened there, I don't think it was as bad as what it was built up to be, to be truthful with you. I'm not saying that something didn't happen. But you know what it's like over there. If you sneeze on someone, they'll sue you. It got blown out of proportion."

    Thanks Meg! I've never read this quote from Jones.
