You note the similarities between Cream's 'Toad' and LZ's 'Moby Dick'. There's a common thread as well with the Yardbirds. Speed up the basic riff for 'Moby Dick' a little and then listen to 'I'm Not Talking' (the b-side of the 'Shapes of Things' single)...
@lancewilson70382 күн бұрын
"Moby Dick" is actually based on the "Watch Your Step" riff by Bobby Parker, same song the Beatles based the riff from "I Feel Fine" on.

@@lancewilson7038 Thanks. I knew that it likely came from an earlier source, since the Yardbirds shared LZ's gift for, um, creative imitation.

I enjoyed your video, and I'm one of the biggest Clapton fans. EC is the greatest guitarist in Rock & Roll/Blues. Hendrix is great, but Clapton is better in my view. You didn't give Just One Night enough kudos, what incredible playing on that record, with the great Albert Lee there to kick Clapton's butt and really play. Incredible versions of Double Trouble, and the best version of Cocaine, what a way was solo! Also his comments on COVID turned out to be mostly right.

I'd love to see ones on some other punk classics like the Ramones or the Sex Pistols. Keep up the great work!

Todd Rundgren is a genius. And my personal hero. I mostly agree with what you say. The 17 first minutes of Treatise though, are a great electronic music suite. The rest of the track, meh... Yeah, not a fan either of side one of Faithful. What was the point ? Side 2 is great indeed.

Great insights into the Byrds career and solo flights. The Byrds were in the vanguard of creating Folk-Rock, Jazz-Rock, the Laurel Canyon singer-songwriter movement, Raga-Rock, Psychedelia and Country-Rock. They certainly were pioneering innovators that for a couple of years, gave the Beatles a run for their money. Fun & informative presentation!

You’re right - Bowie was a kind of religion here in Britain - 72-80. I was a worshipper. I agree, after 80 his music went downhill, and never recovered until, maybe, 1995. Certainly Blackstar is as good as half a dozen 70s albums, though not quite up there with Low, Station to Station, or Ziggy Stardust.

Wake is almost a remnants of Court, but not nearly as strong. Hard for an album to be as strong as one of the greatest albums ever... They do sound similar though. Lizard, and possibly Islands, would sound classic if their other albums weren't MORE classic, like you said. Nice to throw in the Giles disc in the conversation to make it complete, along with Fripp's other ventures. Thanks for covering Crimson live too. Wouldn't know about most of the stuff beyond standard releases. Ultimately, a band with this much talent, in any of its carnations, would not leave the listener disappointed.

Nazz III has all of Todd's lead vocals replaced by Stewkey except for You Are My Window. Todd wanted more leads which I think was the main reason Nazz split up. Todd's lead vocals have popped up in some retrospectives and anthologies which is pretty cool to hear. Most of them are good.

Lots to cover: I'll try in order. Brad did a co-solo release. One Way is fantastic. Toys riff! No More is classic Aero. You see me is solid. Back and Last, yes! Rats! Sick! Get, Lick and Home! Hand is one of their most underrated songs! Great illustration for Draw!! Live Bootleg is solid! (Was at the Toys performance👍🏻) Two solid guitarist!!!!The cover for Night was for Chip Away 45 release that they didn't use. No Surprise is solid. Three mile is solid. Reefer cover, solid. Greatest hits is a mess. (Their second best seller 😬) Joe's first two were solid! Joe's and Ralph's version of Let us outstanding. (Jack Douglas producing) BTW, I've got by Joe is has some outstanding tracks. Charlie in vocals and contributed two solid songs. Title track of Rock is vintage Aero, it's the production that blows. Classics are 80's. 2 was at The Orpheum in Boston. They were contact obligation releases. Gems is solid, Done has Let and My and Permanent is definitely the one that launched into the biggest comeback in music history. Pump has some great songs and Get us their biggest seller. Great director helped three of their music videos off of this solid release. Dig that you met them on Ventura!

The Byrds are my favourite american band. I've been listening to them since their very beginning in the 60's. Because of them I became a, say, fanatic for the country-rock style of music. So I became myself an avid collector of related albums of groups like The Flying Burrito Bros, Dillard & Clark, Manassas, The Desert Rose Band....... and too many from groups like Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Grateful Dead, Commander Cody & his Lost Planet Airmen, Poco, etc, etc, etc....... God bless The Byrds!

That was really good. I'm a big Bill Bruford fan and thought Alan White was a bad choice. But, having said that, I loved "Relayer". It would've been interesting, to hear what Bill Brufords style of drumming fitted in, on that album. I also thought "Fish Out Of Water" was up there with "Close To The Edge" and "Fragile". King Crimson three in a row "Larks Tongues in Aspic", "Starless And Bible Black" and "Red" Just saying. Anyway, enjoyed your Video, keep them coming.

I was sceptical going into this video but you won me over. This was a really good presentation and I was surprised you went with many of the solo stuff (although Howe’s solo stuff was good too). While unusual sounding on vinyl, Tormato was absolutely spectacular live on stage - Yes in the round, I think 78- 79 tours. Future Times -> Rejoice, On the Silent Wings of Freedom, Don’t Kill the Whale live on stage was really, really energetic and inspiring live on that round, slowly spinning stage. I also enjoyed Drama and Yesshows. Asia was an album I didn’t love but enjoyed the live shows. Thanks for the enjoyable video!

Rush, to me, changed with whatever was the fashion, at the time. Which is fine, they couldn't keep producing "2112", into the 1980's. Plus, most bands, that were big in the 1970's sounded aweful, in the 1980's, look at the 'Stones' But, I can only listen to Rush for a short period. The voice dose my head in.

The Top is one of their best albums. The thing is - The Top was written while he was doing a lot of drugs. Robert played all the instruments (except the drums and a sax part) on that album. But from the day Pornography was released - Japanese Whispers, The Glove, Nocturne, Hyaena and The Top were all completed within the next two 2 year period. It kinda reflects the mind of a man losing grip with reality to an extent. But tracks like Shake Dog Shake, Birdmad Girl, Caterpillar, Empty World, Piggy in the Mirror - and the B-sides of this era - are just amazing. Pornography is probably their best album, there's nothing else out there like it - it captures something dark that nothing else does - but it bombed when it released. It only sold 50,000 copies.

The first Iggy Pop album I ever owned was "The Idiot". I wound up having to mail order the Stooges LPs as French and U.K. imports because in 1977 you were not going to find the Stooges at your local record shop. I agree that after the 70's Iggy never released a truly great album. I think it was "Zombie Birdhouse" that finally made me throw in the towel.
