Speaking of guitar nerd stuff, here's Bill Frisell, Greg Leisz, Tony Scherr and Kenny Wolleson in concert back in November:

Fun fusiony stuff for guitar nerds.
 
Wow  :eek:  it's been 40 years since Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti was released.

:dontknow:  were that time has gone.  :sad:
Purchased every Led Zep album (yes album) when each was released ..................... way back then.

So guess what I'm listening too tonight.  :guitarplayer2:

:rock-on:
 
Mmmm... good stuff. Thanks for reminding me. Just listened to "Trampled Underfoot" at irresponsible volume. There's a video of an extended live version of it here if anyone's interested. Pretty well done for live Zep. Jimmy takes more time than he does with the studio version, although the whole thing is done at a bit faster pace.
 
Something to start the day off right:

Seriously, click through.  It's whatever the opposite of a Rick-roll is.  You'll thank me.

I've had the privilege and luck to have seen and met many musical greats from A-Z. One I want to bestow a few accolades to is the late John Denver. I've seen John Denver perform 4 times but it was the first performance I saw at the Centenary College Gold Dome in Shreveport LA that is the one I'll never forget. The concert was at the beginning of John Denver's career and at the time I had to ask, John Who?
The Gold Dome is the right size for a small college basketball game and because of its size and acoustics it was the perfect venue for John Denver's music. The majority of the crowd were probably as much in the dark about John Denver as I was. However, all it took was the first few lyrics and myself and the audience knew we were witnessing a rocket launch. There was none of the usual audience distractions such a cheering and clapping at the beginning of each song like in Denver's later performances. The music and lyrics at the Gold Dome were crystal clear, mesmerizing and applause came after the last note of each song. This kind of crowd unity doesn't happen very often especially for someone like myself who has seen beer bottles and fists flying while the band played, etc.
One of the guitarists who toured with John Denver was James Burton and James Burton is a guitar player's guitarist. I'm glad I got to see John Denver perform at a time prior to his over commercialization.

 
It's hard to remember that behind many balls of cheese lurk real musicians. An awful lot of the lamest fishnet & torn spandex hair band guitarists were, actually really good; like, Glen Campbell was a great guitarist, he played on a whole slew of hits as a studio guitarist before the cheeks won out. Tom Jones was a great blues/rock singer. He was kicking around London at the same time as the bands that are now legends, and it was pretty much just an accident of which type of song turned into a hit. Mick Jagger could easily have drifted from "Ruby Tuesday" into a Tom Jones tux 'n' Vegas life. And if Jones's first hit had been rockier, he could've CRUSHED David Bowie and Rod Stewart as far as singing talent goes - take enough drugs and he'd be in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame instead!

I suspect there's more than a little bit of "not what you know but who you know" involved as well. Talent is one thing; utilizing a good publicist and not pissing off those currently and successfully playing reindeer games is another.
 
Mentioning Tom Jones, always reminds me of the late Big Jim Sullivan. Great guitar player that I managed to see around 1976.

Here's a few videos for anyone interested, including a couple with Tom Jones. Apparently you had to be good to be in Tom's band otherwise you were fined for bum notes.

I love the riff in that song.  THat distorted bass thing rocked my world when I first discovered it at around 19 years old.

 
Kids today just got no chops, yup, that's the problem with kids today.... :eek:

Man, I can't even take a NAP before another great band/dude/it shows up! LISTEN to the little beasts go... I am quite seriously having to set a rigid limit on listening to all this stuff barfing outta U-Tube into my head, I could sit here for 18 hours straight unfolding the secrets. I'm a bit baffled by the 'Rons who insist that all of the good music has already been played, bands are just plastic conformist imitator nar de nar nar. TURN OFF THE FRUKMIN' TELEVISION & RADIO, Ron - brilliance awaits. Even as there are new bands popping like frycook's zits, there are also just mo' and mo' and mo-rons. :icon_scratch:
At 25:53 he turn on the Gonzorator, gotta get me one of them.
 
Thank you, O Head who is Stub.  First track:  Bulgarian bagpipe music transcribed for fretless guitar synth and a trombone patch?  My head a-splode!


That is AWESOME.  Listening to the rest now.
 
Listening to the newest Judas Priest album, "Redeemer of Souls," while doing the monthly bills.  Wow, it's good!  Priest still rocks.  :headbang1:

And to TonyFlyingSquirrel, that is perhaps my favorite Rush album, along with 2112.  :icon_thumright:
