[QUOTE=Grateful Dead]American Pie!!

You can either:

1) Buy American Pie and Tapestry

or

2) Buy the Greatest Hits and work from there.

I love Don McLean :):):):):)[/QUOTE]

Badmoon, can you review Manzanita?

[QUOTE=wanton]Badmoon, can you review Manzanita?[/QUOTE]

I doubt it, right now. My headphones have been screwy (I like to listen while I write) and I don't know each track as well as I should, well at least to review it.

Sorry :( I may review something else though.

Eh, don't get too excited, I didn't see him :upset:


Still....I was within several miles of him.....that must get me some recognition:(?


Hey....has anyone seen the Concert For George? When Clapton and McCartney and everyone did WMGGW, my jaw hit the floor.

That's the best part in the concert. Even Dani loved it, he goes to Clapton right after finishing the song and just nods, saying "Clapton, you are truly God."

Yeah. But he's still got some Olivia aspects on him.

Anyways, that's also the first time Clapton performs [i]While My Guitar Gently Weeps[/i] without Harrison.

Really? Sweetness.


God, I wish George was still alive :upset:

Harrison/Clapton were really an awesome team

I have a Dead head question:
Why did Dylan/The Dead wait until 1989 to make an album together?

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]Harrison/Clapton were really an awesome team

Because they didn't feel like making an album together before that...

I don't think of it as sweetness... I find it kind of hard. I mean, imagine that you have this great friend of yours who's a Beatle. He invites you to play on a Beatle track, something few musicians has ever done, record this beautiful solo. A friend who you also had a crush on his wife, slept with that friends wife, then married her, and still that guy wants to be your friend. And then, playing that song with him on every concert he performed that song.

You have gone through hell together, and you have this incredible song that you speak out as guitarist. You have one of Harrison's best lyrics and best sung tune, and one of Clapton's finest solos.

And suddenly you find yourself in the Royal Albert Hall, packed, playing this song that you never played without your friend, exactly a year after his death, and after finishing the song, knowing that he wasn't there like the last times, and he will never be.

That's really sad.

That was the best post I think I have ever seen on this thread, I wish rep still existed

Wow. Thats good stuff.

theres always e-props though :thumb:

I just think it sucks. I would be so bummed.

I just can imagine Clapton, playing that last solo with his eyes close, maybe forgetting why he was there playing, almost hoping that when he opens his eyes, George would be there, smiling at him, strumming away. Then, when he opens it, not seeing him and realize what's really happening.

It's really the most emotionally charged performance in the entire Concert. The last solo was just beautiful. That solo is just pure emmotion, what a blues guitarist should sound like, and why I adore Clapton.

PS: Don't adore that last post. I just read it again and it has so many mistakes. It sucks.

Clapton performance on Live-Aid - Layla is incredible too. Its embarressing how bad he lost the guitarist vote...but lets not get into that.

Does anybody else have Live-Aid, or was i the only that fell for that PBS television scandel?

I even haven't seen it yet.

McCartney plays on Live-Aid too, right?

They said that George was flying to the U.S. and when he got there they were asking him if he would be playing on Live-Aid with Paul, and so making a Beatles reunion. He said that he just arrived (it was just a day before the Live-Aid thing) and thought that it was stupid to think that if he plays with Paul and Ringo again that it should be considered as a reunion, since John was dead and wouldn't be there.

McCartny does play Let it be there, which is probably the best peformence on the DVD. I wish they wouldve put it last though, since it was the last performence in Philly, but its third on the DVD. I couldnt stop getting Shivers down my Spine...it was just beutiful.

The DVDs only about $40 for four DVDs. 2 and 3 are the only ones worth watching, with a few exceptions, or if you like alot of british minor bands

[QUOTE=i am miik]Because they didn't feel like making an album together before that...[/QUOTE]

Yea.

i saw to many questionable band names on the live-aid case to even consider purchasing it.

Oh well, maybe one of my friends will get it. Not very interested in it, though.

And I'm having troubles finding Mahavishnu Orchestra's albums. I've searched everywhere for them, and can't seem to find them. I even searched some of the jazz sections, thinking that maybe they'd classified it under jazz. But nothing.

McCartney's Let It Be performance was pretty bad.

This thread turned into a tear-jerker.

Yeah, that last post about Harrison and Clapton was really sad.

God, I wish George Harrison was still alive.

Wouldn't it be awesome if all the Beatles were still alive?

We watched Forrest Gump the other day in my history class, that movie has a great soundtrack.

Does anyone think the Beatles would have eventually reunited if John and George had not died? I don't really think they would, but it would be absolutely insane if they did.

I remember reading in the Beatles Anthology that Paul had all these crazy ideas about the Let it Be concert. He first wanted to do it on a cruise ship, and then considered a concert with The Stones and The Who. How crazy would that have been?

Indeed.

I'm still trying to convince my parents to buy me the let it be movie.

You probably can't get it at a library since it never has been officially released.

There are bootleg copies all over eBay though.

Ebay is fricking sweet.
