Bono in hospital
Hope it's nothing too, too serious and he makes a full and complete recovery. Get well soon, Bono. What does your generation consider them to be, if not a generic "Rock" band? They're not exactly "New Wave" anymore. :confused:- Dave78

"The Official" Carole King Thread
If you were into the singer/songwriter genre back in the 70's, Carole King was among those artists such as James Taylor, Carly Simon, Loggins & Messina, Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell and Jackson Brown whose albums were in your collection. Tapestry was her signature album to own, but she also had...- Dave78

The Ultimate Question.. WHO IS THE GREATEST ROCK BAND OF THE 70'S?
Led Zeppelin. They ruled the roost and wrote their own ticket. Though having only recorded two albums since 1975, the somewhat disappointing Prescence and In Through The Out Door, this ten year old band was set to embark on a worldwide concert tour in 1979 which was sure to sell out stadiums...- Dave78

8 Track Flashback
Vintage- you are correct that Led Zep played six nights at The Forum. From Wiki: Between 1970 and 1977, Led Zeppelin played at the Forum 16 times (their live album How the West Was Won was partly recorded at the venue), including a run of 6 sold-out dates in 1977; one of these shows comprises...- Dave78

Tray73 - I haven't heard of most of the bands you posted, but they sound interesting so I'll check them out on iTunes. The Space clip you posted sounds a lot like Fiona Apple and/or Amy Winehouse to me.- Dave78

Hey, Lou... "Horror Head" is definitely one of Curve's better known songs. Here's a lesser known song of theirs -- "Fait Accompli" -- off of Doppelganger that I also like alot. FZO8eCE3cyM LG - it's good to see your name in this thread, too. Even if you don't have much in your library to...- Dave78

8 Track Flashback
The Long Beach Arena was a terrific place for a concert. A small 12,000 seat venue with better acoustics than the larger 20,000 Forum in South Los Angeles. I saw a few concerts there in the late 70's, but, yeah... the area was real run-down back then so vandelism there isn't a big surprise to...- Dave78

8 Track Flashback
Well of course I treasure the music of my youth. That is precisely why I quickly replaced all my 8-Track tapes with vinyl when I began buying record albums just a couple of years later -- then cds to replace the vinyl just ten years after that. But while the tapes themselves have sentimental...- Dave78

The Official "90's British Pop" Music Appreciation Thread
I remember when I local radio began playing The Stone Roses' "I Want To Be Adored"... I kept thinking 'why does he want to be a door?' :heheh: The other song from their debut album I also like is the trippy 8-minute "Fool's Gold". But after "I Want To Be Adored", my next favorite Stone Roses...- Dave78

The Official "90's British Pop" Music Appreciation Thread
Some bands just seem to get it right with one album and The Verve certainly did just that with Urban Hymms. "Bittersweet Symphony" was a huge hit out here and was one of the very few albums I bought for just one song. The rest of the material on the cd turned out to be every bit as good so it...- Dave78

You're very welcome. :) Uncle Joe's books may be a good place to start, but I'm sure there are other books written on the subject matter too so keep looking. PS- your English is fine. :D- Dave78

8 Track Flashback
That actually sounds pretty cool. All you'd need is an ice chest in the trunk for your beer and it's 1977 all over again. :D Maybe I'll unload my 8-Tracks on Ebay afterall. :heheh:- Dave78

Rock books and literature
There are many books written about specific groups (e.g. Led Zeppelin's Hammer Of The Gods), but if you're looking for something a little more encompassing there is a DJ in L.A. named Joe Benson (affectionately known as "Uncle Joe" Benson) who wrote a very informative series of books focusing on...- Dave78

Hepcat's Turntable Primer!
Virgin vinyl! :D Reading this takes me back to a neighbor of ours in the late 70's who had a dedicated sound room with Phase Linear separates and Bose speakers. A sound system like that cost a lot of money back then, and it required a lot of TLC, but it was worth it. :bow:- Dave78

Hepcat's Turntable Primer!
Re: 8 Track Flashback True the direct drive models were technically more accuarate to a degree, but I believe Quartz Timing supposedly corrected for that on the belt-drives. But for the reason(s) you mentioned, I always used belt-drive turntables, too. :) I also used a Grado F3E+...- Dave78

Disco!
I always liked 70's R&B/Soul, but I never really warmed up to the Disco movement. Sure there were good songs here and there, but overall it just wasn't my thing. In 1979 I went to a Christmas party that a girlfriend's work threw at a nightclub in Hollywood. I have to admit that although the...- Dave78

Hepcat's Turntable Primer!
Re: 8 Track Flashback Hepcat - do you prefer direct-drive or belt-drive turntables? Maybe I fell prey to all the marketing hype, but I always used belt-drive for their supposedly lower "wow", "flutter" and "THD" levels. I also suspended my turntable from a wall shelf system so it wouldn't...- Dave78

8 Track Flashback
Of course you had to record them using an 8-Track tape deck that also had a record feature, which I don't think were all that common. A friend of mine had one though, and one Summer afternoon I brought all of my BTO 8-Tracks over to his house to record a "Best Of" 8-Track tape. My first forey...- Dave78
