I like spam its fun to read, and if it really bugs you just skip over it. I mean you can choose what you read and what you don't... right?

My friend let me borrow a book called [U]I Was There: Gigs That Changed the World[/U], its pretty sweet it has Altamont and Woodstock, also a long thing of Jeff Buckley (Shout out for PF.), who I'm listening to right now, and speaking of him I just gave [I]Grace[/I] to an indie friend of mine I expect her to love it. It has some guy called PJ Proby that I've never heard of, from the 1960's. Anyone know who he is?

[QUOTE=jpj]There's a Dead set from like '65 on archive.org. It's pretty cool.

I won't be able to upload/download anything until Tuesday or Wednesday.[/QUOTE]
I downloaded that one, and can upload it for JonG if he wants.

I've never had a problem with off-topic discussion among us, since we've built a strong community and we all "know" each other here. Sports, school, movies, wasted stories from the night before, etc. that's fine with me. But a lot of the recent posts are just bad jokes that don't contribute anything to discussion and make it less interesting to come here or try to read the thread. I'm not saying I've never been guilty of this (hell I was around in the LZ thread back in the day), but it's a better place to be when we can actually talk about something. And I'm not singling anyone out either, I just think as a whole we would benefit from a little bit more productive discussion. No hard feelings anywhere.

My friend has that Gigs That Changed the World book, it was pretty cool.

In response to Schyma's early topics: I get a cheesy feeling of euphoria when I listen to songs like Widespread Panic's Porch Song, Phish's Simple, and even the Dead's Touch of Grey, usually when I'm driving and it's sunny out. I feel like I can just drive forever to anywhere I want and life will be good no matter what.

Other times music just owns me, like listening to the intensity of the Leed's My Generation yesterday. During the Sparks part I was just blown away by how perfect Townshend's riff is.

No more free premium rapidshare for me :(

It was great while it lasted though.

Hey WttM (Can you tell us your first name?) any chance you could upload Welcome Back My Friends....? Sometime. I really need some ELP live material.

[QUOTE=JonG]One time I was listening to Dark Side a while back. I woke up in the bells in Time, and almost shat myself.

[/QUOTE]

Those bells and clocks are so damn loud. :mad: Why did they have to be so much louder than the rest of the album? Oh well, why would you want to sleep through "Time" anyway? :p The solo is brilliant.

SO guys, yesterday I found some good deals.

Thin Lizzy-Jailbreak
Dire Straits- Communique

For 8$ cdn. each.


I'm enjoying them both but I was wondering if anyone else here likes dire straits, no one ever talks about them

I've liked the songs I've heard from them, but I've never heard any albums.

With Pictures at an Exhibition? That would be awesome. I'll post my list in a second if you want anything.

Thanks for the name, I just never liked using the acronym for your username.

My dad loves 'em, I don't listen to them though.

My iPod shuffle has been pretty psychic lately. The other day I really felt like listening to some Johnny Cash, specifically the song Hurt. I put my iPod on shuffle and the third out of 4300 songs was Hurt. I easily shook this off but than today I was listening to it with my 10 year brother and he loves Black Sabbath and esspecially Iron Man, so he asks when it will come on and I said the odds are 1 in 4000. Again the third song was the one song that was mentioned before putting it on shuffle. Freaky.

Anyways I also showed my brother Captain Beefheart. I put on Dachau Blues and he was just like :eek:. Haha, suck a funny reaction. He was very fascinated with it.

Karl Jung would be proud. :p

shuffle is screwy. I get the same songs a lot.

About the special connections with music thing: Last week I had the week off from school, but I had to go on an exhausting college visiting tour. So when we were driving home from Massachusetts, I was just exhausted. I had seen a MMW show the night before, got home around 12:30, and then had to wake up at 7 to leave for Massachusetts. And then combined with walking around the campus and stuff, I was exhausted when we got in the car and fell asleep immediately. Now I have this weird thing where when I fall asleep in the car, I don't just fall asleep but like completely pass out and become all numb and stuff. So I finally woke up and I was really out of it and all numb and my dad was playing While My Guitar Gently Weeps and I just got the most amazing feeling listening to it. It was just amazing. Shivers down my spine, I don't really know how to explain it, it was just crazy. It was almost like a dream. Just a surreal feeling. Awesome.

And once, in school we were taking a test and I had finished early and started listening to music on my ipod (not at a high volume) and then Time came on. And those clock chimes were so loud that the teacher heard them and yelled at me for disturbing the test:(

Edit- And I was in FYE yesterday afternoon and I saw a Pink Floyd cd called London 67 or something like that. It had two songs, long versions of Instellar Overdrive and Nick's Boogie. Anyone know anything about this?

np:Traffic- Light Up Or Leave Me Alone (Live)

Winwood really shines as a guitarist on On the Road.

right now im trying to DL some more live ELP so ill upload all of it after.

I've seen that Pink Floyd CD around here, but I don't really know much about it. It was always too expensive for me to care about.

[QUOTE] And I was in FYE yesterday afternoon and I saw a Pink Floyd cd called London 67 or something like that. It had two songs, long versions of Instellar Overdrive and Nick's Boogie. Anyone know anything about this?
[/QUOTE]Yeah there's two discs one DVD one CD.

I have it. :cool:


EDIT-It was like $15 for me which isn't too bad considering you gettwo discs.

What's on the DVD? I usually see it for around $17 so I still don't know if I could buy it (I'm on a tight budget) but it might be worth it.

i almost bought but i ended up buying a few books (nneeerrrdddd) yeah but like Livewired said its a dvd and cd, im pretty sure the dvd is the performance of Inerstellar Over Drive and Nicks Boogie.

Footage of Syd era Floyd preforming and alot of footage of the underground psychedelic scene in London. There are also some interviews with Mick Jagger, Micheal Caine other british guys. You also get to see John Lennon wandering around one of the clubs.

Yeah that's definitely the one I saw. I would have bought it but I didn't have any money. I've bought like 5 cds in the last week and a half so I'm running a little low on cash now.

np: Triumvirat- The School of Instant Pain...

The Triumvirat is pretty good stuff so far.

Who's the best guitar soloist?
david Gilmour or Jimmy Page?

Gilmour hands down.

[QUOTE=Prince of Darkness]Who's the best guitar soloist?

Erroneous. Erroneous on both counts.

So yesterday I did some mall cruisin'. I got a sweet Clapton poster for 4 bucks cause it was the last one in stock (its the same picture that's on my Last.fm) and I got a cool Grateful Dead shirt (kinda like [URL="http://www.jiggy.com/cat-images-sm/gd0012t-sm.jpg"]this[/URL], but its black and it says "Grateful Dead" in red and blue on the back).

I was going to get somes cd's and movies, but I ran outta cash. So next time I go I have to make sure to get Neil Young - Zuma, Hendrix live at Woodstock, Evil Dead 2, Enter the Dragon, Eric Clapton - Blues Years (if it's still there), Workingman's Dead, The Cream Farewell Concert, and Rock and Roll Circus.

If that doesn't get some discussion started, then who knows.

Lunch, that Floyd bootleg on that one page you linked (The Man & The Journey) is the one I was looking for last year to use for my Myth presentation. I've been waiting forever to hear this. Nice call on that site.

As for the spam, yea, it is getting out of hand. One sentence posts about nothing are pretty irrelevant to whatever we're discussing. And I'm not talking about posts about your day or whatever, just the short, pointless, jibberish posts.

NP: Jeff Beck - Thelonius

Anybody else a Neil Young whore? My dad has been in love with him sinceI was born so I got a lot of exposure. I have Weld on Laserdisc and it kicks as[size=2]s[/size]. Zuma and On the Beach are my fav. albums. I was just listening to a bunch of other stuff like American Stars+Bars and his s/t a few days ago.

Livewired is the chief Neil Young whore.

I listened to a little bit of the Man and the Journey Floyd bootleg, but the parts I listened to weren't very good at all.

I like to think of myself as a Neil Young whore but Livewired totally owns me in that aspect.

[QUOTE=Lunch]I listened to a little bit of the Man and the Journey Floyd bootleg, but the parts I listened to weren't very good at all.[/QUOTE]

What year is that from? I've heard about it.

I've never seen that London 67 album, but it sounds amazing.

I think it was 1969.

I don't care what you people think I'm still posting my Last.FM. You can take my spam but you can't take my last.fm!
1. The Smiths - 182
2. The Rolling Stones - 152
3. The Velvet Underground - 67
4. The Beatles - 41
5. Queens of the Stone Age - 33

I often sleep through DSotM, its very easy to do.

Ya, Rock N Roll Circus! God did the Stones suck on that, they got upstaged by the Who and Tull. I'm not a big fan of John Lennon's group, can't remember the name.

I took a shot at being the cheif Neil Young whore but Livewired took me down :(
