    Fab Faux

    i had to be talked into going to see these guys. they don't make it out of the east coast often, because some of them play with late night bands and have to be on the air regularly (letterman, jimmy kimmel). but they did their first west coast gig last november at the HOB and i was blown away...

    I posted this in the 70's section also...

    sorry to say that once it's been played once it's probably considered "near mint" not "mint" condition. the reality is that the albums that have the most value are the ones that sold the least. if that album sold a few million copies (which of course it did) it's worth what billtjr51 has posted...

    Denny Doherty: Mamas & Papas: R.I.P.

    you and me both pooldude... i was on a sophmore class trip, on a bus going north of new york city. it was snowing and generally miserable out as it can only be post xmas/pre-easter in the northeast. someone had a transistor radio (our version of an ipod..the only way it was possible to get...

    Leon Russell (Official Thread)

    Re: leon russell fans? i loved this whole album. not a bad song on it as far as i was concerned. talking about leon also got me thinking about merry clayton, his back-up singer. i remember her being THE back-up vocalist of the time after singing with leon, the stones and so many others. does...

    Leon Russell (Official Thread)

    Re: leon russell fans? i also hadn't seen the movie since it's original release and found it in a video store last november. it's a total trip back in time musically and a time capsule of that era... almost more so then the more well known movies that all the kids have seen and know about...

    Leon Russell (Official Thread)

    Re: leon russell fans? i was at the early show of this concert and you are absolutely right! it wasn't easy to steal the show from a surprise performance by a "just returned to the stage after 5 years" bob dylan and george and eric trading guitar riffs. but IMHO leon did just that.

    Rock Legends Still Creative-and-Good 30 years later

    springsteen still love his early stuff the best but he's still the best live act out there and not endlessly rehashing all of his old stuff. i loved bob dylan's comment when he was asked in the documentary "no direction home" about whether he could still write songs the way he used when he...

    Ever go to a concert "blind"?

    i'll have to agree with billtjr51 on this one. i did this almost on a weekly basis in the 60's. i grew up a few blocks from from the fillmore east and tons of other venues. back then most of them were bars and coffee houses before the fillmore opened so i guess it doesn't fit your category of...

    Leon Russell (Official Thread)

    for whatever reason i always associate leon with elton john. why? because they both hit at around the same time as solo artists.both were piano men.elton's first release was "your song" and leon's first solo release (at least on the east coast) was "a song for you". it was sometimes confusing...

    The Doors Make Worst Artist List?

    must admit i agree with most of their other choices though having had the experince of lots more bands that these guys never heard of from way back when, i might have made lots of substitutions. the adding of the doors to this list looks like an attempt to be controversial. after all, who...

    Loudest Show You've Ever Attended

    without a doubt for me it was guns and roses when they opened for the stones. i went with a friend of mine who played his stereo so loud that i always had to wear earplugs in his house when we got older. when he begged me to walk outside of the arena cause it was too loud for him (and we had...

    the best concert you've gone to

    1. the beatles at carnegie hall feb 12 1964 ( the early show)...best concert at which i was not able to hear a thing. somehow that didn't matter then and all these years later, it still doesn't. 2. best concert at which i was actually able to hear something.. bruce springsteen at the bottom...

    Favorite Zep song

    though i loved all the stuff that followed, their first album (okay cd) is still my favorite. dazed and confused zaps me right back to the first time i heard it everytime and it still rips me up.

    That Could Have Been A Beatles Song!

    the first time i heard a few notes of badfinger doing "come and get it" (probably like lots of others on here who were around) i thought it was the beatles. it was 1969 and they hadn't broken up yet so it was more plausible. of course the fact that paul wrote the song and it was produced at...

    Name All the Bands You've Seen Live

    since my first conert-going experience began in 1958 with jerry lee lewis, chuck berry and buddy holly and my last one was bob dylan a couple weeks ago, it's easier and quicker to post that the only person i didn't see live was elvis. had the chance and turned it down...dumb! saw most groups...

    the perfect song for....

    what song would you put on if you were... 1. depressed and want to get out of it? 2. depressed and want to wallow in it? 3. driving and feel the need for speed? 4. incredibly happy? 5. nostalgic? 6. angry? 7. singing in the shower? 8. having sex? 9. walking down the aisle? 10. leaving...

    What was your first album?

    love it! growing up in the days of singles (too young to afford singles at 69 cents, no less albums!) my first album isn't one you'd recognize. it was one of those horrible "covers" albums that had lots of hits on it but none of them were done by the real performers. it was called "teen...

    hey jessie if you haven't discovered it already you might try the beatlelinks forum as most of the people on it seem to be closer to your age. LOTS of young beatles fans on there.

    Johnny Winter at Woodstock

    what year or with what band did "classic rock" STOP for you?

    foggy hat's thread about our ages made me think about this. there has to be a cut-off year or group that makes the difference in your head between what's new and what's classic. this isn't to signify that what's new now won't be classic in 20 years...not for me but for some of the younger...

    Ages for classic rock listeners

    well i'm old enough to be your (gulp!) grandmother (54) and couldn't be happier to see lots of people on here who are your age. i think it's great that so many posters have parents who got them into classic rock and can recognize a good thing when they see it. my dad was a jazz/big band musician...

    Rolling Stones first album

    i have a book somewhere that evaluates the worth of all albums. i can't find it at the moment, but i know that it will vary by hundreds of $ at times according to things that you wouldn't believe. the first one and most obvious one is the grading. if you NEVER played it, it's mint..it usually...

    another one that got away

    :heheh: :heheh: HYSTERICAL STORY!!! it has to be fun watching this..especially not having anything invested in these people. the bride and her father on the other hand probably didn't find it quite as amusing.
