Dog Cheese (Michael Landau, Vinnie Colaiuta, Steve Tavaglione, and Larry Klein)

[@homard62]

I used to do studio cartage for ML. Not only is he a tone monster. Not only is he a searing guitarist with a unique style and phrasing but he is a humble, friendly and accessible guy. A real gentleman. AND he can write music like this.

[@Doremifaso12345]

I had a moment with him in Stockholm, Fasching yrs ago... wonderful person indeed!!

[@Adolfo_drummer]

If you listen to the melody and rhythm guitar, you can clearly hear that this tune was intended as a shuffle/ternary vibe kinda thing. But our boy Vinnie, heard and applied a rather angular, binary feel and boldly recorded a friggin 7-minute-long polyrhythm!! See? That’s clever music, not complicated for the sake of being complicated. This is why we love you, Vinnie. Genius.

[@kspocketngroove3973]

what time signature is it in?🤔

[@RichardEllis-p7l]

@@kspocketngroove39736/8?

[@musopaul5407]

5.07- 5.24; one of the greatest drum breaks in music history! Vinnie got better and better over the next 30 years in many ways, but he was at his most free and creative in the late 70s and the 80s.

[@SrBridges]

GOD GEESE!!! This song is so ADDICTIVE!!! That's "The Mike Landau Sound". UNIQUE! Is like a Lukather-Van Halen-Henderson sound. MAN! Who needs a name when you have THAT SOUND!!??!! .... AND Vinnie Colaiuta on drums! MY GOODNESS...

[@Doremifaso12345]

Amen man !!

[@lightnintrucker]

It IS too bad Mike Landau didn't release this. This song showcases his greatest sounds that can be heard on countless recordings.

[@robinelfstrom]

Some very lush Tri-stereo Chorus here for sure! So lovely.

[@n2motocross]

Yes Michael, it is too bad yall did not make a record! Please for the love of God get in the studio and record this beautiful jammage for tone lovers everywhere. You're the Greatest!

[@jdubhman]

This might be the greatest and most mind bending fusion jam track I've ever heard. Great to nod along with and count to 6, you can feel the slow and fast 2 against 3 beats falling into place.

[@musopaul5407]

Or 12....

[@ridgep551]

This is killer! I'd pay good money for an album of this quality!

[@fernandes5986]

This is why Landau is the best of the L.A. Studio guys...in my book.

[@Doremifaso12345]

Mine too, with a huge Legacy starting Carlton, Graydon...

[@MrMftech]

Love that guitar sound...

[@doctorgarbonzo2525]

[@Doremifaso12345]

[@stretch54]

Landau says in the interview posted that they just have rough stereo mike 'walkman' recordings, but this sounds like it was recorded in a studio to me.

[@OlegVoronin]

[@vapor9699]

Rock-Jazz-Fusion

[@lorenzmuller3542]

Where is this taken from? There HAS to be some kind of recording or tape! I mean this is obviously a studio recording...

EXCELLENT CREAM CHEESE*

[@MrKimedmundson]

[@Stephenmichaelparker]

It was probably one of the first shows I ever saw at the Spud.

[@MikeLiebner]

We brought a boom box to a Dog Cheese show. I have the cassette somewhere but it!s awful quality. Despite that I listened to it a hundred times. Cmon there must be a decent tape out there..
