Wasn't overtaken until "Frampton Comes Alive" six years later, if I recall correctly. This version is better than the original. Nice bass and piano. More than just a "nice Jewish girl".

...and one of the most heavily modulated tunes ever committed to vinyl, which is the only way to hear it...if you couldn't a' been there....(at about 2 minutes you better be in reach of volume control, which should be up anyway)

...usually you hear jams like this on crappy pirate tapes, this one has sound quality....Donna Jean blows but it's about the instrumental breaks and solos anyway.

#110: Re: Track of the day.... Author: JG300-Ascout, Location: CyberspacePosted: Sat Jun 13, 2009 4:42 am ---- Steve Morse...we're not in Kansas anymore....
#113: Re: Track of the day.... Author: JG300-Ascout, Location: CyberspacePosted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 12:59 am ---- Let's get back to a lesser known masterpiece...
#115: Re: Track of the day.... Author: JG300-Ascout, Location: CyberspacePosted: Tue Jun 23, 2009 4:07 am ---- Stoopy,
If you're out there, this one's for you, Bud....
#117: Re: Track of the day.... Author: JG300-Ascout, Location: CyberspacePosted: Tue Jun 23, 2009 4:20 am ---- And now, for something completely different....
"Twas a man of youthful features
Twas a boy of sorrowful eyes
Watching out but looking inward
Tall and stately and full of life
In his life he spoke but rarely
In his mind he cried for light
Painting perceptions trying to capture
That which he saw in his questioning strife
Once in Lisbon, twice in London
Travelling around for all of his time
Looking for and finding a goddess
He took Diana to be his wife
Of the children they'd begotten
Two had died without knowing life
And the third I know not whereof
But if she lives, she will yet be kind
Casey had a mark of simple value
He had a star between his eyes
In his hands he held an axe blade
The Greek symbol of thunder and fire
On a night when the heavens were crying
He went down and took his blade
Chopping wood to warm his hearthside
The lightning came and my brother died
Bring him no wine from faraway vineyards
Tell him no tales of the canyon's might
But wish him peace and eternal wisdom
For he has died and he died in light"

Steve Winwood, Rick Grech, Dave Mason, Jim Gordon, Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood & "Reebop" Kwaku Baah.
Not a bad lineup...
#119: Re: Track of the day.... Author: JG300-Ascout, Location: CyberspacePosted: Fri Jun 26, 2009 3:12 am ---- One of the lesser known DS songs, and maybe the best off of the lesser known "Making Movies"....
The video sucks, but the audio quality is good. Great driving song...
#120: Re: Track of the day.... Author: JG300-Ascout, Location: CyberspacePosted: Sun Jun 28, 2009 10:37 pm ---- Not usually a fan, but she tears this song up better than the original (the originator being in the video). About a minute of setup BS, but that's how they did things back in '85...
