I could live without it.

Woodstock 01-16-2005 08:39 PM

It's a good set up, just too bland of a design.

thickasabrick 01-16-2005 09:41 PM

oh man Badmoon I downloaded that song Liberty and I was expecting like the Bluegrass song Liberty (you know which one i'm talking about right?), i was very suprised. great song anyways though, i'd comment on the great bass, but then i'd feel bad for leaving out the cool piano, and guitar parts. great song.

Oh and Woodstock, I can't send you that John Mayer version of The Wind Cries Mary, I used to have it on Kazaa and i realized that it got deleted when I got rid of Kazaa. Sorry about that.

Have I told you guys that last night was the best night of my life? Life is great. I love you guys.

jpj 01-16-2005 09:43 PM

Ummm...I love you too...



May I ask why it was the best night of your life?

[QUOTE=Badmoon]Okay, here are two of my favorite songs off of Phil Lesh & Friends' [I]There & Back Again[/I].


The album features
---------------------
Phil Lesh - Bass*
Warren Haynes - Guitar*
Jimmy Herring - Guitar*
Rob Barraco - Keyboard*
John Molo - Drums

* = Current members of The Dead.


[B]Liberty[/B]

[url]http://s15.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=21Z5UWVGU2ELQ2CWWTFEU9DLV7[/url]

"Liberty" was written by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter a short time before Garcia's death. Each guitarist plays various lead lines. I also believe Barraco takes the lead vocals.


[B]Patchwork Quilt[/B]

[url]http://s15.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0O4ACF23LZVNF3HZ6550FOTXS6[/url]

"Patchwork Quilt" is written and sung by Warren Haynes. The song is about Jerry Garcia. Take a listen to the lyrics, they are extremely interesting.[/QUOTE]
Wow this is good? I mean I have it but haven't herad it. :)

Nice to see you're in a good mood. What happened?

Anyone like Love - Forever Changes, any thoughts on the album?

Jam2Me 01-17-2005 10:07 AM

I hope Derek and the Dominos wins, that's an awesome CD. Anyone have the Derek and the Dominos Live At Fillmore CD? I gotta get that soon.

K well I used to go out with this girl, and it was very serious...we dated for about a year or so and I had never liked a girl as much as I liked her. Unfortunately she moved away, and we lost touch. I was really wondering what happened to her, since it's been like two years since we talked...

so I was at a party Saturday night, everyone was drinking but I wasnt in the mood, so I asked a complete stranger (the only guy i didn't know at the party) if he wanted to come get stoned with me, my treat. So we are smoking up in a car listening to some Pink Floyd, and it turns out he just moved to my city. It turns out he went to the same city and school that my old gf went to, and they were good friends. He told me they talked all the time, and she still talked about me nonstop and told him what a great guy I am. So now me and her are starting to talk again and things haven't been better in my life. Plus the party was fun as hell.

Note: I notice that was very off topic, but since some of you asked, I felt I had to answer. Classic Rock value of that post: getting stoned to Pink Floyd is fun.

edit- I haven't heard the complete Derek and the Dominoes album, so I went with LA Woman.

Awww.... thats all sweet and stuff. *teary eyed emo moment*

Getting stoned to Pink Floyd is fun indeed. I don't really do drugs anymore, but something on my list of things to do before I die is to go to an opera on acid. I think that would be the most unbelievable experience ever.

I also voted LA Woman. I'm not a big fan of Layla (and other assorted love songs) They butchered Little Wing so badly...

Woodstock 01-17-2005 10:38 AM

They didn't butcher Little Wing. Bell Bottom Blues is a classic, and that's with Layla!! How could you not vote for it?

thickasabrick 01-17-2005 10:40 AM

As I said in the voting thread, I haven't heard that entire album. Just a few songs. I didn't know they did Little Wing. I love that song, do they do it justice? Bell Bottom blues is on of the first songs I ever heard from Clapton, but I actually just thought it was from his solo career.

Who is all in Derek and the Dominoes? And when were they together? I really know nothing about them.


edit- And how the hell did Abbey Road get sixth place in the Group G poll!! thats an atrocity.

Woodstock 01-17-2005 10:46 AM

Abbey Road got 6th because everyone voted for Tommy, pfft.

Badmoon 01-17-2005 11:38 AM

[QUOTE=Livewired]Yeah I voted for WYWH because it was the best album on the list.[/QUOTE]

Me too. I'm just not diggin Abbey Road. Sure, I love The Beatles, but I've tried a few times to listen to it and I'm just not gettin it yet.

Johnny B. Good 01-17-2005 04:16 PM

I voted Tommy because its an awesome album that deverses to go on and I knew it would get little votes because of all the fanboys

Same reason why I voted for "Are You Experienced?".

I agree I mean I like a few songs off of it but I just dont dig it.

jpj 01-17-2005 04:53 PM

So today I got Primus-Sailing the Seas of Cheese, The Velvet Underground and Nico, George Harrison-All Things Must Pass, and The Grateful Dead-Aoxomoxoa.


And Abbey Road is easily my favorite Beatles album followed by Sgt. Peppers. I seem to have the problem magicbus has with Abbey Road, but with Rubber Soul.

Woodstock 01-17-2005 04:56 PM

I think Abbey Road is an absolute perfect album. No flaws whatsoever.

I preffer their version of Little Wing than Hendrix. It sound more 'epic,' though that's not the precise word for it. It's longer, but I think it's good.

And Derek and the Dominoes are Eric Clapton (guitar, vocals), Bobby Whitlock (organ), Carl Radle (bass) and Jim Gordon (drums). Duane Allman was a part-time Domino and Dave Mason played with them once. This was just after Blind Faith. When Clapton was touring with Blind Faith, he started to hang out with their opening act, Delaney and Bonnie, whose other members of the Dominoes were the backing band. Later on, when Delaney and Bonnie were in England, Clapton joined them and performed as a band known as "Friends," as a way to not get noticed (Harrison played with them too, after Clapton suggested it to be a way to be on stage but without the burden of being a Beatle).

They all played on Harrison's All Things Must Pass and then became a band. Before a show, they asked them to name the band so they can be properly introduced. They had given Eric the nickname of "Derek" and one of them said, "Call us Derek and the Dynamics." But when they were being introduced, the guy called them "Derek and the Dominoes" and it stuck.

When their album, Layla and other assorted love songs, was released, it didn't chart the list because not to many people ventured to buy a double LP from a band they didn't know. This was because Eric Clapton refused to put his name of it. When it wa re-released and everyone knew it was Clapton it was a whole different story.

Like Blind Faith before them, they only had one studio album, since the second one blow up in their faces (because Eric and Jim Gordon had a row, and there were a lot of drugs and alcohol around).

I love the album. Very good. A lot of blues stuff, and mellow, yet still having a certain edge to it.

PS: Today I bought my first Clapton shirt at Hot Topic. It's awesome.

Distant Echoes 01-17-2005 05:04 PM

I think Sgt Peppers is better then Abbey Road...but i think thats mostly because i have a thing for adoring all concept albums ever made in rock n roll. Abbey road is great though, i dont like Octapusses garden much, but i love I Want You and The End. I think most people that arent so familiar with the Beatles look at that album and want it over Sgt Peppers because
a)the historical Album Art
b)Come Together is on it
but i dont stop them from picking it over beatles albums, its just as great

Woodstock 01-17-2005 05:04 PM

I actually think Blind Faith's album is a little better then Derek & The Dominoes' album.

Distant Echoes 01-17-2005 05:07 PM

[QUOTE=slowhand]PS: Today I bought my first Clapton shirt at Hot Topic. It's awesome.[/QUOTE]

Ive been seeing more and more of them every day, everywere i go. I think i need to get more Clapton CDs...im not really going for slowhand (the album) anymore. Any suggestions?

Really Rubber Soul is the turning point in which they explored their first non love songs.

[QUOTE=Woodstock]I actually think Blind Faith's album is a little better then Derek & The Dominoes' album.[/QUOTE]

Meh, at some points. If Blind Faith would have rehearsed more then it would have been a much better album. I was also let down when Clapton didn't sing on "Pressence of the Lord." His vocals would have made it much better (note, I'm not saying Winwood didn't do a great job with the vocals, I just think that Clapton would have fitted the song better).

And if you're looking for a good blues guitar, you can't argue that Derek and the Dominoes is what you would pick up.

Yeah, if you're a bigger fan of the blues, then go with Derek & The Dominoes.
