WHY......WHY......WHY......must you torture me like this.

It's the "Wild Sau" way....our version of Survival-Evasion-Resistance-Escape training...you know, for if you get captured by those SpitPest teams. Waterboarding is a piece of cake compared to this.... Wink

Shocked

JG300-Dan736

Found a few sound bits at this site www.nomadland.com/Point_A.htm some would not load and the ones from "strings of steel" where he sings kinda make me think that he should stick to the guitar.I really don't think that they did a good job of picking flattering clips and the sound quality is about what you would expect from the web but here it is anyway.Just click on "Sound an motion" over on the left hand side

I was hoping to get that Robin Trower cd by now but to no avail. Ascout I did not know that Micheal Hedges is gone,that news made me dig through my records for the first time in a while i78.photobucket.com/al...CF0139.jpg these two forgotten gems of mine stirred up a whole pile of dormant emotions that I am still sifting through.His cover of Neil Young's "after the gold rush" left me wondering how I could have forgotten about these? The sound quality (Windham Hill records) is as good as ANY and the content and preformance inspired. As for concerts that I wish I could have seen there are two that come to mind ,first is Frank Zappa and the mothers of invention and the other being Stevie ray Vaughn and Double Trouble. I'm quite thankfull about owning lots of their vinyl

.Micheal Hedges really has a guitar style all his own.I bought his Arial Boundries album back in the 80's kind of an audiofile sort of album.:

I saw Hedges in Albuquerque in the '80's...and it's a lucky person who did see him perform (nobody attacked notes like Michael Hedges). Now, it's impossible...he died tragically in a bizarre auto accident where he ran off the road and wasn't found for days afterwards.

I always knew you were a man of class and taste, Dan!!!

You know, as I watch it again, it totally PISSES ME OFF how these old guys get away with pulling out all these hair-raising amazing licks while hardly moving their fingers....you ever notice that??? Young guys and the rest of us have our fingers scrambling and stumbling all over the place while these guys can do it all without barely movin'...what's up with that??!!! Laughing

Seriously, go see this guy when you can, you'll dig him! Great crowd, too, good people and good time.....lots of old school rockers and guitarists who come to pay homage to The Man.

And if you don't have it already, "Bridge of Sighs" is a most classic album and still graces the shelves of any self-respecting music store...

Stoopy,that was flat out awsome!!!!!!!! I thought my sub woofer was going into convulsions!! That started out like a freight train then then it started chuggin an chuggin and after that it was his axe that took the spotlight with the train still along for the ride,the only problem was that it was over too soon.thanks man that was fun.Ascout ,That is quite a diverse list of concerts.Micheal Hedges really has a guitar style all his own.I bought his Arial Boundries album back in the 80's kind of an audiofile sort of album.As for the WHO,well I got one up on ya there,I seen em three times Mr. Green

Speaking of multiple viewings, and to make up for the pic above, here's the reason why I've seen RT so many times.....he's still quite lethal....

Kinda cool they're helping celebrate his birthday.....I think he's like 103 now or something.......funny thing is I think he'll definitely outlive the guy behind the drums!!! Laughing

Hey now....NO withholding of strawberry rations based on music choices.....unless of course it's rap, or that Rod Stewart chick....go fire up your plane anytime ya like 1Bullet!

I like the Guess Who, great band for their day and "No Sugar Tonight" is an excellent 'mood' song.

A smoke-filled room in the corner basement,
the situation must be right.... Wink

As for The Who......well I respect the time they've put in and they sure have aged a TON more gracefully than some of their contemporaries. Gotta say I've never been too much in Peter Townsend's style though, as he's more of a "strummer" than a "picker". But my rather simplistic and primitive musical tastes are wasted on the subtleties of a multi-lead-instrument band (and "Baba O'Riley" seems as much of a keyboard song as anything else).......I don't know if Pete can really do a good rendition of "Pipeline" much less "Banzai Washout" so am unable to apply any meanignful litmus test to gauge that by.....which is O.K.

Speaking of old-timey (by now) bands and guitarists, I'd say some oft-overlooked names these days are Chuck Berry (Good God GO SEE HIM now if you can.....the man is absolutely frikkin' awesome) and the guy from The Byrds, Roger McGuinn....caught him on some PBS special a while back and was completely blown away with the way he puts himself into his music.

Robin Trower is still going strong too and still my favorite of all the old names...seen him live many times, the only drawback is he's never been easy to look at but fortunately plays with his back to the crowd a lot of the time to get more feedback running through his Strat from the speaker cabinets....better go see this guy quick while he's still with us, but bring some sunglasses....he's playing smaller and smaller clubs now which is not necessarily a good thing if you end up sitting close to the stage.....
