That one's awesome. But we can't talk CSNY/4-Way Street without posting this song at least once:
Post your Friday jams here!!!
- Thread starter C-$
- Start date
Mark Knopfler is another vastly underrated artist. Whatever might be wrong with him technically, it just works.
You just won the thread. A+ for the day. vbg Little Feat may very well be the most influential band from the 70's, if not them then Velvet Underground. They might not have sold as many albums as others, but every serious musician owned and loved Feat and VU. We hear and have heard their influences daily.
So many great memories from those weekends. Jumping off the sand pile. Swimming in the quarry. Moving from camp to camp sharing food and listening to different music. Taking a dump at the edge of the gravel pile wondering if an animal was going to jump out of the woods and bite my ass. LOL.
Man, I must be getting old. I'm at that age now where I think back on my youth and wish I could go back and do that again.
I just knew if I brought up Little Feat, someone else would post this exact video for me. LOL. One of the best on Youtube.
Preaching to the choir.For many years 49 Bye Byes WAS 4-Way Street for me.
In later years I thought the lyrics became dated,and maybe even a bit trite.But in the Nixon era,Stills spoke for a generation...
That chorus is one of the best pure country melodies ever written. Not the words, the words never matter to me. The notes of the vocal. I would love to have had come up with that. I hate talk songs but the annoyance I feel by the talky part, and it is annoying, only adds to the dynamic of that chorus when it breaks in. Lowell was a genius.
Definitely a genius. He was like if you took Duane Allman and injected him with a shot of Soul.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and F*** Gregg. Any time you bring up the Allmans, you gotta say that. F*** Gregg.
Man, I am so jealous of the bands you got to see. I've seen a lot of groups, but the few you mentioned ... you lucky bastard.
It's the weekend. I sleep enough to do bad things again, regardless what they are and that's enough. The house is quiet except for Feat playing and you can probably guess the rest. This is actually a very good thread. the irony is it's about music, and Money started it.
Mostly I wanted to test it, to see what happens when the 24 hours runs up. Does Rivals reinstate him automatically? Does Peegs have to do it? Do I have to go in and manually expire the ban? I'm using the douchebag as a systems test.
I used to think getting old would be a drag. It's not too bad, I'm really enjoying life. The only thing I don't like about it is the healing rate being slowed. The last time I played hoops in a league, I was in bed for three days.
Since you list "Margaritaville" as your location,I'll assume you're into JB if not an actual PH.I'm actually into Buffett for the music,at least up until 2000 or so...
Seen him a few times,always local.Last time was Deer Creek in 2001,the show postponed by 9-11.It went from being a Sept "beach Party" to a late Oct/early Nov freeze out.There were still folks in grass skirts and sandals,and I had my freakin winter coat on.
Only time I remember being colder at an outdoor show was when I saw the last show of The Rising (Springsteen) tour at Shea Stadium in Oct 2003.Cold with freezing rain,and I flew in from Indy totally unprepared for that type of weather...
Anyway,here is Trying To Reason,from A1A...
I'm a HUGE Parrothead. Been to see Jimmy more than any other musician live. Went to Deer Creek every year for about a decade.
