Hi' 'Early morning Rain' and '***** Willows, Cattails' always make me mellow, he is a great singer, heck I probably like a lot more but those two spring immediately to mind, as for 'If you could read my mind' that's a core meltdown track! 'Hat Lady' *tee hee* I suppose I 'asked' for that!  He played that too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KP_MDIYhPH0&feature=related Love the Hat! Why are all my kindred spirits always in the UK? I feel stuck in Middle Earth...but obviously making the best of it.  We got BB King with Al Green and Buddy Guy in a few weeks! Thanks for counting me as one of your kindred spirits  'Stuck in Middle Earth', not a bad place to be btw what do you think of the Gordon Lightfoots' cover of Roberta Flacks', 'The First Time....', personally, he captures the song in a way I have NEVER heard before, truly moving and beautiful..........(  ) WOW, DL'd that one...very nice one I had not heard! Will have to share that one soon...lol. oops, you may have gotten me laid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5X8cn4zzA8 I love Roberta Flack....a fellow Tarheel(Black Mountain, NC) she's in Japan right now...hope she comes close when she get's back to the mainland. If you haven't noticed yet I am a concert junkie.  http://www.pollstar.com/resultsArtist.aspx?ID=19666&SortBy=Date&SearchBy=roberta No, I hadn't noticed at all that you are a 'Concert Junkie'  , nothing like hearing music live to gage whether bands need the studio or not, Muse imo, really do produce the same sound live as they do on CD.....btw Gordon and Roberta have that effect on people don't they  Nah, I am more about experiencing the artist's live performance to connect with them and their music. To feel what they convey from their lives and the reasons and meanings behind the songs. It's not important that they try to sound like the studio recordings (to me). Sometimes you can be half way through a Dylan song before you can tell what song it is...shucks, I once finally heard Dylan do Tangled Up In Blue live and he left out my favorite verse from it...lol. "She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe "I thought you'd never say hello," she said "You look like the silent type." Then she opened up a book of poems And handed it to me Written by an Italian poet From the thirteenth century. And every one of them words rang true And glowed like burnin' coal Pourin' off of every page Like it was written in my soul from me to you, Tangled up in blue." That's OK Mr. Zimmerman,...Good to see you again...lol. Yeah, I've see maybe 300 shows with a thousand acts overall. It' my thing... That's a lot of shows! But the missing verse didn't spoilt your enjoyment of the concert, did he have more songs in his set where he remembered all the verses? I have seen my share of bands over the years, for me I have to hear them live if I have heard them on the radio/CD and liked them, I want to hear if the studio made them sound good or they really are that good. It just irks me when some bands get used to the studio and forget the live show.  Well of course not...saw Dylan a few months back in Tulsa and he doesn't miss a word or verse now...mainly because he plays onljy keyboards and has all the lyrics prints on top of it...lol...last month Robert Plant used cheat sheets on the floor, even stopped one song he screwed up...did I mind?, hell no!, it was an honor to see him again. One band that goes to great lenghts to do their material well live is Pink Floyd...well Roger Waters in '08, (it was '94 since I last saw the other Floyd.) Got The Wall in November at Dallas...can't wait for that one. Ya gotta remember that live they can't dub like in the studios. Gotta take it at face value. Read Lightfoot's show review for Grand Prairie, TX, the writer took a cheat shot about Gordon's voice not being as it used to be....what a dick huh? He's like 72? Excuse me? He sounded ok to me for that age...and again, to see him still doing it so well was incredible and entertaining. *ahhhhh* to take a band at 'face value' defeats, imo, the sound they are putting out on the CD. Led Zep (I can accept RP and GF don't hit the high notes like they used to because of age and many performances!Yep, the critic/writer was a 'dick' ) BUT bands like Muse, from the recordings to the venue, sound the same, Hawkwind from recordings to the venue sound the same....so when a band takes to the stage and you have certain expectations, to be let down by the live performance..... example: Ladyhawke......great on CD........awful live, imo!! Yeah the studio is easy production and concerts are not. A band that also did well live were ELP...incredible more so live (to me). I need to check out newer music more often in concert but shucks most all my favorites are still alive and touring so they get my money... Talked to a lady from the UK today on the phone...so pure a voice she had that I caught myself not paying attention to what she was saying...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlHcRXXdEPg&feature=related |
