What are you listening to?

Surprising bit of music trivia, I DON’T NEED NO DOCTOR, performed by a favorite group of mine Humble Pie, was written by Ashford & Simpson.

I'm not sure we realized how badly we needed the Black Crowes in 1990. At that time we had just buried Hair Metal and everything you heard on the radio was Ice Ice Baby, U Can't Touch This, Groove is in the Heart etc.. etc. .

I thought the Georgia Satellites might be that band a few years earlier but they ended up being essentially a one hit wonder.. it was a classic though.

1991 Network TV Debut. Such a great song


Over 30 years later they're killing on the Stern Show with Remedy. I'm not sure what Howard's crew does with the music studio but live performances always sound awesome.


In case you don't know this classic..
The Georgia Satellites
 
Was fortunate to see Neil at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island NY, back in 82 or 83. This was solo, mainly acoustic.
Show was in the round. This was his Trans tour, where he played maybe 3 songs electronically and then all the hits.

You know, high school 81-84, Bad Co was in the rotation. They really don’t hold up for me now 40 years later. Not in any of my classic playlists. I recognize their place in history but don’t think their sound ever evolved. JMO.

So you saw that Neil Young show when you were in high school, that's awesome. We were on the tail end of an amazing era of music.
 
Yeah, saw a lot of classic rock acts, just in their prime or just past, in high school/college.
Think AC/DC (For those about to rock tour)
The Who- with the Clash opening up
ZZ Top- Eliminator Tour, Sammy Hagar opened up (Three loc box)
The Allman Brothers
Rush-Subdivisions
Petty- long after dark tour
Journey, I know, Separate ways or whatever album
Police- Synchronicity
The Dead- Touch of Grey
Edit- U2 War tour with Marshall Crenshaw and The Alarm
Yes
Jethro Tull
Forgot about The Kinks on their Destroyer tour and Springsteen Born in the USA tour.
Surprisingly, outside of The Who and Allmans, no other band dominates my playlists from that group.

I read where they (The Redwalls) were in studio, recording a new album.

You either love this band or hate them.

I’m the former…

Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth
 
Great Song from one of my Top 5 Albums ever. This guy does it well. Thanks for sharing

Summer of 1993 My cousin picks me up at the Airport in Kansas City and he has the Siamese Dream CD with him. We had a 45 minute drive and had it turned up to 11 the entire way.

We went to a Music Club each night either in Kansas City or Lawrence and so many bands were trying to match the Smashing Pumpkins sound but nobody could. Same thing in Lexington when I returned home and would go to The Weoklege, Lynaghs Music Emporium, The Original JDI's .. etc.

The original version (with extra reverb ha)

Revisiting a band I like a lot. Back several years ago when I first heard The Blackwater Fever, I listened to their stuff nonstop for months. The week I’ve been submerging myself back into the songs from this band out of Brisbane Australia.

These are all from their album “Sweet Misery”. These are all on the slower side. But I really dig the slow burn, bluesy feel.

I've seen Rush several times and enjoyed them. I have a number of friends who claim them as their favorite band and have seen them more than twenty (20) times. Obviously talented and a good live show, their music is progressive, but I never though it had soul. My friends all agree ... fwiw. In that regard, this is my favorite Rush song and it strikes me as atypical.

Now bingeing Robert Randolph and the Family Band. Wishing the weekend would hurry up and get here so I can light a bowl, crank these up to 11.

Ain't nothing wrong with this one..


This is the right direction...


And then there's that time that they blew the roof off the theater on Austin City Limits...
I've seen them many times, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Louisville, but the first time I saw them was my very first show at The Dame in Lexington on 05/23/2003. I'd just seen them on Austin City Limits and was really taken with them, so I immediately bought tickets to the sold-out show at The Dame. This was the original, and the best configuration in my opinion, of Robert, Marcus Randolph (drums). Danyel Morgan (bass) and Jason Crosby (organ).

I stood on the wall pew, looking over the jam-packed crowd, at the stage that was probably less than 15 feet away. With the smell of weed wafting through the air and the buzz of the crowd, there was a vibe that was immediately felt. I was blown away by their show, telling friends the following morning that I'm not sure anything I ever attended in the future could hold up to that live experience. They were fabulous !! RRFB had that youthful energy that bands have when they are on the way up and it showed in their set ... they really put in out there !! Their live album (Live at the Wetlands) had just been released and that was what everyone was expected to experience ... and the entire house did !! It was pretty awesome and very memorable, to say the least !! He began the show, just like on this album, same tune ... Ted's Jam !! The very first thing you heard was just the pedal steel ... I'll never forget it !! The hair stood up on my arms ... !!


Here is a bit of their Austin City Limits performance on 09/29/02 ... it reeled me in to see them live at The Dame. :cool:

Dude I was at that show. I've seen hundreds of shows and many, many great bands. I've been fortunate. With that said, that tiny little show at the Dame (RIP) best concert I've ever seen. The music, crowd energy, vibe, just the most electric show I've ever seen in my 50 years on earth. RR is criminally underrated

You just gave me a HUGE LIFT, Dawg !!
STAY UP !!!
You right on ... THAT SHOW WAS KILLER and The Dame was a hella place !! I went on to go to many memorable shows there .... plus the staff was ALWAYS GREAT !!!
Did you see Arcade Fire there on a Saturday night ?? It was amazing that The Dame scored that show on a Saturday night!! Sold-out crowd and The Fire didn't come on until after midnight, following three (3) bands, playing until close. I can still remember the crowd BOUNCING to Rebellion (Lies) on that creaky, old hardwood floor ... as the song kept mounting up in intensity. I thought the damn floor was gonna cave in ... I swear !!

I saw them in Cincinnati at Riverbend in 2006. Took my oldest daughter to her very first concert. Drive By Truckers, RR and The Family Band, and The Black Crowes. Killer show.
