L 7 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 How's it going "L 7?" I see that you are very familiar with San Antonio. I grew up as a kid till I was 13 on Olmos Dr. off Fredericksburg Rd. I now live off I-10 West and ZeZavala. I saw a few concerts at the now torn down Hemisfair Arena as a kid. I never thought that the city would tear down the Hemisfair Arena. Its a real tragedy what happened to Selena. Have you ever heard of Erika Gonzaba from San Antonio? She's a very beautiful woman as well as a very talented singer and dancer. She is a very good friend of mine and of my family's. Believe it or not, I dated her a few times after I moved back to San Antonio but I am old enough to be her father. ROCK ON! Cant say that I have heard of her, but I am very familair with your neighborhood. That area has really exploded. I used to pass that way on my journeys to Kerrville and Lake Medina. You live near Fiesta Texas. Love The Scream. You can see The Scream on 1604 for miles. I really like Tom`s Ribs on 1604 by that idiot Hagee`s church. There was once I comedy club just off De Zavala Road. Dont know if its still there and I had good friends from California that lived in the Springfield sub division off of De Zavala Road. Rock on `til your sox drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock on `til your sox drop Without derailing too much - here's a site dedicated to Selena. I wasn't a huge fan of her music (bit too pop for me) but it was really awful what happened. http://www.selenaforever.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you had an extra life added for that useful link. I remember Selena`s boutique on Broadway in San Antonio and how they made fun of Yolanda on 99.5 KISS FM in San Antonio. The cops should have let her pull the trigger. I have seen the statue in Corpus Christi and remember to this day how she was shot in the back in the Days Inn in Corpus. Bled to beat, poor thing. On a side note, just inside Broadway off Loop 410 is where Woody Harrelson`s father killed Judge John Wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rorer714 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 One of the first 45's I ever had was given to me in the 5th grade(72) as a Christmas present was a used copy of Celebrate on the B side was their version of Dave Mason's Feelin' Alright.I still have the 45.I always liked this band and whenever I hear one of their tunes,I crank it up and sing(warble) along. I've always liked this band!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Action Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I think that as popular and great as the hits were, there was so much more to this band. Covers of Free's "Woman" and "Creepin'" that were better than the originals A cover of Spooky Tooth's "I've Got Enough Heartache". Awesome vocals by Cory on that one. Covers of Traffic's "Feelin' Alright" and "Heaven Is In Your Mind" that again beat the originals, especially live back in 1969. A Michael Allsup original "Into My Life"- a masterpiece. And even a tasty cover of Elton John's "Your Song". The list could go on and on forever really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeppFanForever Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 Too funny. I can just hear it now " Martha... call the cops. Those hippies are at it again " How's it going "ally?" I can hear those neighbors also saying: "CALL THE COPS, THOSE HIPPIES ARE SMOKING THOSE FUNNY CIGARETTES AGAIN, THE SAME ONES THAT WE HAVE! ROCK ON!

ninelives Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Okay well now you've piqued my interest and I must go check out more of their music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JethroTull Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 The anthology booklet tells you who sang the lead (and background) vocals on each song. As time progressed, Chuck sang the lion's share of the leads, especially on the hits. Next was Cory and finally Danny. If I remember correctly, Danny was instrumental in putting the group together, but seemed to give a lot of the lead vocals over to Cory and Chuck. Cory provides the incredible lead on "Mama Told Me Not to Come". For what it's worth, Wikipedia has a pretty weak write-up on the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like yourself, I must confess, I was not heavily into SELENA until after she died which was a terrible tragedy. Her death shocked the world. I became a SELENA fan after I saw the movie about her life which starred a very young Jennifer Lopez. ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My faves are "Mama Told Me", "One", "Shambala", "An Old Fashioned Love Song", "Joy to the World" and "Black and White". Why hello "Melanie_72?" I am happy that you like THREE DOG NIGHT. I never truly realized how much that many ZEPPELIN fanatics such as yourself really liked this band. THREE DOG NIGHT truly captured a moment in Rock n' Roll history with their music and left their mark in history because of it. ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always liked this band!!!! How's it going "Rorer714?" I see what you mean. You can tell THREE DOG NIGHT'S music when you hear them right off the bat. Their music sounds very special. I just sent a personal e-mail to Danny Hutton telling him about the overwhelming response of THREE DOG NIGHT here on the LED ZEPPELIN Forum. Who knows, he just might read this thread and respond soon. I'll let all of you know when I hear from Danny. ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've mentioned some songs here that only the hard core THREE DOG NIGHT fans are familiar with other than the more popular THREE DOG NIGHT hit songs that would become the band's trademark songs. You really have to listen to all of the songs on their albums that were not as popular but pretty much sounded better than the more popular and familiar songs that THREE DOG NIGHT was known for.

ZeppFanForever Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 I don't own any Three Dog Night on tape, vinyl or CD but like many of the bands I was first turned onto as a kid, I heard them on 8-track. In this case, a friend's Craig Powerplay 8-track player. Speaking of Out In the Country, a few short years ago R.E.M. recorded a cover of that tune with bassist Mike Mills handling the lead vocal duties. For those interested, it can be found as a B-side to one of the singles released for Bad Day: How's it going "Jahfin?" THREE DOG NIGHT did sound great on 8-Track huh? ROCK ON!

No complaints here! How's it going again "Rorer714?" In my opinion, THREE DOG NIGHT was/is the GREATEST cover band of all-time. The band mixed in their own special blend of sound and style which would result in making all of the cover songs that they recorded, their very own. ROCK ON!

You're not the only one that has mentioned to me about Wikipedia writing up a bad biography on THREE DOG NIGHT. I figure that you have to check out their website to get the full info. That's what I usually do. ROCK ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Action Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 What album would you recommend checking out first? "Naturally" from 1970, without question. It's diverse and there isn't a bad song on the whole album. It is indeed their best! For the second one, I'd recommend "Harmony", or their debut album.
