    Playing as I type. Not my favourite Jeff Beck album by a long way - but - sheesh the sound of that guitar!

    No wonder I like Jeff Beck's Blow By Blow and Wired so much.
    Max was in so many groups and sessions.
    Hummingbird and Mick Taylor's band for two examples.
    And add Jan Hammer and Narada Michael Walden to Wired and wow!
    The fusion era. Great stuff.
    Cheers
    Wait, what? Liner notes on Blow By Blow: George Martin produced and did the orchestral arrangements. He produced Wired too which was mixed at Caribou Studios Nederland, Colorado. I have friends who lived near there BITD. Beautiful place!

    Up here on the western slope so far so good. Not too much shoveling as it’s mostly been piling up up the street where it belongs lol.

    Howdy DMCVT: did you see the boys at Dartmouth in 78?
    If so, do you recall if Bob was playing a blonde Ibanez Musician series instead of his custom model he usually played?

    Great news for Demar!

    I have been listening to 11/19/72
    I love that show
    A good candidate for release, Dave.

    Seattle Times.com has a headline indicating "a slew of weather hazards" heading to Western Washington

    I went immediately to Slewfoot 6/27/69.
    A nice release candidate, Dave.

    6/14/69 also would make a good release, Dave.

    Dave? Dave?

    DAVE?

    He never listens to me.

    Behind on this thread, but noticed the depressing news and Jeff Beck left us.

    I've been listening to him since I was young and saw him twice.. One of the most gifted musicians I have ever had the opportunity to see live. One of the two times I saw him was with Clapton a bunch of years ago. I remember thinking to myself at the end of the night, Eric Who??? Great tone, skilled playing and so incredibly imaginative and creative balanced with the ability to bring it all home, tie things in a bow and leave you with a complete song/set/show that had unity and clarity throughout.

    Holy cow, sad news.

    So sorry for CA and hoping for the best in the days to come. Hang in there baby....

    Jeff Beck and California

    I was shocked and saddened by the news of Jeff Beck passing, of bacterial meningitis. Not the easiest thing to catch and it can kill in a few hours if left untreated. I only caught Jeff once, December 3, 1976 at the Jai-Alai Fronton. Tommy Bolin opened the show, his last show before he died of an overdose of cocaine and morphine. We drove down to Miami and got to the show ok, lots of traffic for early December and we wondered what was going on, never did figure out why there was so much traffic. As we got to the fronton, we consumed the shrooms and walked in. The stage was set against the back wall and we were all in front, just like a Jai-Alai game. The place was small, only holding about 6000 people and it was packed. Tommy had just released Private Eyes and was touring to promote that lp. The show started and Tommy and his band came on stage. The place went crazy as they tore into the title cut of his first lp, Teaser, the place was jumpin'. Then into People People, a slow tune and then a killer drum solo and Tommy came back out and showed us all how to play a guitar. His solo was loud, raunchy and delicious. So good. Then they broke into Wild Dogs and finished with Post Toastee which had an extended jam and a fantastic climax. And it was over, they left the stage to thunderous applause and never came back. Tommy Bolin would overdose that night after the show.
    Jeff Beck was on that night, I have no setlist for his show, but I remember that Wired has just came out and I was a big fan of that lp, also Beck, Bogart and Appice had been released previously and I loved that lp. I do remember that he did some oldies (Ain't superstious) comes to mind and most of Blow by Blow. He also did a great solo, man, could he play that thing. I had gravitated away from Jeff Beck by the 80's and don't play him much anymore, but today I will break out Truth, B,B and A and Blow by Blow as a tribute to one of the greats.
    To all you hippies in California, man, I feel for you all and I hope that you all get out of this deluge well and with little to no damage. This should fill Lake Mead up again, sad it had to all come in a week.

    Thanks Daverock, I’ll check the Goodman out. The film with James Stewart is The Glenn Miller Story (originally enough!) and is pretty darn good. There’s a good part of the film when the band, in England, keep playing even when the flying bomb’s (V1) engine cuts out which means it’s going to land somewhere pretty close!

    Jeff Beck. Sing Sing Sing.

    I was lucky enough to see Jeff Beck live 5 or 6 times from the mid 1990's to 2018. Incredible concerts - I never wanted them to end. Many great albums and live concerts out their to explore, too though. Some of my favourites include -

    Everything from 1965-1966 he cut with The Yardbirds. That includes the album known as "Roger The Engineer" all the A sides and B sides of the singles he cut with them and the Live at The BBC recordings. Whatever the style of song, whenever he took a solo he took it into the stratosphere. Great tone-well, great everything.

    Rock N' Roll Party honouring Les Paul - this is a live dvd from 2010, I think, and features Imelda May among other guests. One of the best rock n'roll gigs I have got on film.

    Emotion and Commotion, a studio album also from around 2010. Amazing that he could play such contrasting music to the above, in the same timespan, with so much fire and virtuosity. This also features Imelda May, singing "Lilac Wine", which goes into "Nessun Dorma." I highly recommend this if you haven't heard it - breathtaking.

    Frank - I don't know if it's the version you are referring to, but there is an amazing take of "Sing Sing Sing" on the Benny Goodman double cd "The Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert." 12 minutes long, with Gene Krupa tearing it up on drums.
    I vaguely remember a film about Glenn Miller that was on telly when I was a child-starring James Stewart.

    Glenn Miller

    Vguy mentioned finding some old Glenn Miller records. This brings back many lovely memories. My father, who was in the RAF during the war loved Glenn Miller and the big jazz bands and passed that on to me. Two days before he died, I spent a lovely weekend with my dad doing household chores, chewing the cud and listening to a set of cds by Glenn Miller from his wartime broadcasts. That was a very special weekend for us both, made even more poignant by my father’s passing just a few days later.
    Just recently many TV programmes have picked up on another star of the era - Benny Goodman, and in particular the number Sing, Sing, Sing. It’s a long piece notable for one of the best, most prominent examples of jazz drumming I’ve heard by the late, great, Gene Krupa. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

....this was a totally fucked up movie. But in a really weird, almost unsettling, but creative way. I had no idea what I was getting into when I watched it for the first time like 5 years ago. I sort of didn't no how to react to it....part awe, part fascination, big doses of squeamishness, a lot of eerie moments. Not for the faint of heart, but yes if you like shit that is totally off the wall. At this time, I'm not even sure what this movie was about in recollection, other than these images and feelings it conjures when I think about it.

Every Saturday afternoon at 1 pm on Channel 56 out of Boston. Loved those old school, campy horror flicks. The Wasp Woman, Invisible Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon and all the other classic misfits.

Those were the days. Just remember to adjust your UHF antenna appropriately!

....Rob Zombies The Devils Rejects. That's a good one.
His Munsters remake though? Don't waste your time.
Stay with what you're good at Rob. Which is gore. Not family friendly drivel.
Regarding old school, campy films, Mystery Science Theater 3000 does a good job making fun of them 👍.

Nappy - that must have been great, to see Black Sunday at the cinema when you were young. Features the luminescent Barbara Steele as well.
It's selling Eraserhead short a bit, referring to it as a "horror film". It doesn't really fit into any genre. None that I am aware of anyway. I don't think the plot is actually that important. More of a mood - a waking nightmare that defies logic.
Suspiria is a bit like that. Some amazing set pieces, incredible over saturated colour and a great soundtrack by the Italian prog rock group Goblin. There is no need to try and follow what's going on - its just a real feast for the senses.

Dennis-they have some great B movies on British TV at the moment too. The Last one I saw was a William Castle film called "Homicidal." 15 minutes before the end they had what they called a "fright break" so if anybody found the film too much, they could leave, and be seen by a nurse in the foyer in case they were at risk of having a heart attack!

On Me-TV maybe out of Chicago as he calls Berwin home.
Every week has all the cornball 50s sci-fi and humorous ones too.
Great selection but as it's on every week lots of repeats.
He avoids the gory stuff but you have to put up with really bad jokes, skits, and rubber chickens flying. I think the 50 ft. woman one was on a couple months ago. (We caught that car switch too Dennis!) Last Sat night he did Bride of Frankenstein. She's a hotty with that hair, LOL. And "just a little nervous from the fall" to bring it back to the Dead.
Cheers
Edit: The "store" weirdness continues. Just got an email from someone named Mac at support about my order status inquiry but I never placed any inquiry. Says my order went through and gave me the same order number I already had, so I guess it's all good even if confusing.

Yes, there's one in Illinois too.
His accent is a dead giveaway as well.
Cheers

Agree, not his best work but Eraserhead came early in his career and was made with almost no budget. I think he was pretty much an unknown when it came out.

I read somewhere it was inspired by his experience having his first child and how weird/strange/whatever being a new parent can be.

This and the Wall have to be the worst moves to see on acid. Not speaking from experience but I know it's been done. I was with somebody that saw The Wall dosed. Didn't seem like a good idea to me.

Holy Crap! I just read vguy's post about the new Phish box. I had just moved to Seattle a year earlier, and everyone said "gotta see the Gorge" So I took a chance on Phish who I had never seen before but obviously knew about. These shows are legendary, I just didn't know it at the time.

....those were probably my 12th or 13th shows and I knew during the setbreak of the second night that we were witnessing something special. Then that second set of the second night started. Even my wife was like, "WOW!!!", and she was just a casual phan. Plus. The camping scene was stuff legends are made of.
Top shelf Phish.
Saw them there in '97 also, sans girlfriend/now wife. The only times I've been there. Need to go back one day.
After those shows. We drove south and saw the Shoreline show and the Ventura show, which is also officially released. The band was en fuego that year.
Now, my wife could care less about Phish. I think I overdosed her on them.

Well, I just saw a Falcon 9 blast off from Vandenberg a few minutes ago, and I'm about to dig into 9/21/82 with some super silver haze. Saw Nick Mason's Saucer Full of Secrets last night. The tour ends in Oakland tomorrow and then Seattle. Go if you can! AAAAHHHOOOO

I like a 45 minute Playin' as much as the next man but sometimes less is more. My wife's playing one of her favourite albums, The Boy With The Arab Strap by Belle and Sebastian, at the moment. The track Simple Things comes in at 1 minute 44 seconds and it's absolutely perfect. It's a good record, give it a listen.

....may I suggest the classic release, Speak English Or Die by The Stormtroopers Of Death. Or SOD as the cool kids call them.

Glad to read the discount code is working, hope many might use it, it probably works for WMG to sell more product anyway. Too bad now is unlike back in the day when individual Europe 72 shows, Road Trips and more music from archives readily available here. Nick1234, good to see your post hope all goes well in Shetland. Sent a PM a while back but it might not have got through, regarding an anthology of Scottish Island poetry found, which seems excellent: "These Islands, We Sing". Great to see Gaelic language in verse, even if indecipherable as English is usually provided as well. Hearing Gaelic spoken is something else, know local dialect in Shetland is much influenced by Norwegian effects. Had first disc listen to Zappa '75 yesterday, two stop tour of communist Yugoslavia, Zagreb and Ljubljana. Its a bit rough for an official release, particularly some saturated vocals, but so historic... Frank's guitar work is outstanding and Terry Bozio, what a drummer. Since Vermont has been outed (thanks Jim!), notes for anyone heading this way, most of fall foliage color has hit the ground, ski season is just around the corner at the big mountains and the launch of retail cannabis is very typically super slow, growers were licensed a bit late and this being a small craft oriented place. Check Heady Vermont on line for details. New Hampster is now surrounded by states with retail and trying to figure out how to sell more booze, with no sales tax, their major revenue stream.

DMCVT - I will concur, Vermont is a beautiful state, I have always enjoyed the sights. You mention New Hampshire, too, and I recall a family vacation on the NH shore in the 60s that was remarkable. My father made a really big deal of going by “The Old Man of the Mountain”, which was quite neat to see, then, and the times I saw it since (until it’s collapse, of course). The parents were big on Cape Cod for summer vacations, and we had family in Quincy (still do), so New England was a terrific place to visit, absolutely beautiful. Real nice folks, too! Thanks for the reminder of that memory!

Oro - If you are not charming the ladies of Colorado, or working hard/hardly working, please check your PM.

Sorry for not replying to your PM, I never check them, and sorry to Daverock too. That anthology looks well worth looking into, thanks. Life here in Shetland is idyllic at the moment but winter's coming 😁. The Shetland accent/dialect is beautiful. Our closest neighbour's family has lived in the same house since 1854 and though I love to hear him speak I probably understand about half of what he says to me. I seem to nod and smile in the right places though 😀. The old Shetland language was Norn but the last speaker died in about 1850.

Ok, I ordered the Zappa 75 from Amazon, then I saw a good price on whippets (600 for under 200). By the time I got to the Blue Note Collection my wife was out of money. So Blue Note another day.

God this site could break a brother.

Looks like next week a lot will be pouring in.

Dennis - Blue Note generally aligns their biggie sales around major holidays, so I would expect a big sale as Thanksgiving approaches. Sure, the prices won’t be as spooktacular….(I’ll stop. Right after Halloween…)

Didn't know Anthrax was still around; saw them in '87 during the Among the Living tour, great show. Caught Slayer a year later for the South of Heaven tour. Tons of great Thrash shows in the Bay Area then, hard to keep up with on top of the Dead and more.

The 5 CD Revolver is $109, vinyl, 7 EPs Half Speed masters is $188 on the Amazons. Don't think it ever needed remastering, but the outtakes would be nice.
