In 68’ I was only 7, but my ability as a child to observe some of the outdoor concerts in my area )on somebody’s shoulders) was truly fantastic.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t old enough to actually attend full length concerts, but what amazing times! You know? Not only for rock and roll, but standard jazz, jazz fusion, emerging jazz-rock folk-rock, country, even big bands we’re still around, and emerging prog-rock, metal… you name it.
What a plethora of different artists collaborating with and stealing from each other’s repertoire.
I remember when FM radio was new and you could hear you know like the entire Dark Side of the Moon album and then the next minute Led Zeppelin and the next minute Poco or Loggins and Messina
Wow! I didn’t know this side of you existed @NewbombTurk! ![]()
I’m very deep. ![]()
Maybe next year…
I’m attempting to run a 5K every day for 7 days straight to finish off the year. That’s a bit more than double what I usually run in a week, and is going to require some very significant motivation. Today was day 1, spun the new album from Hath to get things going.
Actually saw the Ventures do that live.
5K Day two: immolation’s “Act of God” album. I had kinda forgotten about this one (came out in early 2022), and it probably deserves more consideration for the yearly top 10.
They were great live, weren’t they? I saw them in the early 80’s at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach. Can remember if they did it though.
Way back in the day I used to play this song around the campfire when we were on raft trips. Never could hit the falsettos very well, though. A truly warped and amazing song. Thanks.
I got to see Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at the Golden Bear, great venue. Went back stage and they signed a poster for me. Juniors drummer gave me a shot of gin. ![]()
