| What is your most fond musical memory. sfar, I was at that Little Feat/Ronstadt show. She played with accompaniment by Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen, who were still hanging around town after their weekend shows. Extremely thrown together and off the cuff. Very good and v... | |
| RIP Robbie Robertson There are no better albums in the pop music realm than Music from Big Pink and The Band. I am grateful to Robbie Robertson for his huge contribution to these two epic recordings and for many subsequent tracks. | |
| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? The Beatles were masters of composing, arranging and producing records and George Martin was an important part of that machine. If you listen to their finished-but-rejected versions of Norwegian Wood and Ob-la-di Ob-la-da you will know just what ... | |
| RIP Jeff Beck He was so different from most other guitarists. He did so many things, devoid of effects pedals, that made you sit up and say, "how did he do that?" He really explored the sound of the instrument. His work with the Yardbirds and his Truth album ... | |
| Best Examples Of Cymbal Decays On A Recording There are CD's of gongs and other percussion instruments used for meditation that might be what you are looking for. There is a gong struck at the beginning of the song "Birds of Fire" by the Mahavishnu Orchestra but I can't vouch for the length ... | |
| Why does rock concert sound suck? wolf-garcia, I accept that you know more about this area than I. But when I was playing that’s what I experienced--standing around while the drums and bass were done first, and pushed to a high volume. I won't say we never had good sound in the e... | |
| Why does rock concert sound suck? Sound men start with the drums, getting a great-but-too-loud sound from the kit. Then they do the same with the bass. After that there's nowhere for the higher pitched instruments and vocals to exist. And it all sounds like crap. My wife and I... | |
| Roger Waters and Graham Nash on The Band. I remember the name Brinsley Schwarz but not their sound--will have to check them out. I always thought the British band that sounded like The Band was the early Procol Harum. | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. bdp24--I owned an original ’65 Deluxe Reverb for 20 years and never understood why everyone else thought it was the desert island amp (and just where do you find electricity on a desert island?). I later found that what I really wanted was a Vibro... | |
| Why is most everything remastered? I don't have a lot of re-masters or re-mixes (mostly Beatles) but I haven't heard one yet that I didn't like. I'm sure there are some out there. I much prefer the Beatles in stereo. I know the stories about the mono vs. stereo mixes. For me, l... | |
| Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears This comes to mind: | |
| Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art? No, but "burnt" is to "baccarat" as "icon" is to "teeter-totter." | |
| I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s. I'm with Orgillian. There's nothing like hearing Are You Experienced come out of nowhere and turn the music world upside down. If you hear later stuff first then you miss out and fail to realize the impact that had at the time. If you hear Amy ... | |
| Do you all agree when Prince said the 60s, 70s and 80s were the golden ages of music? Many of what we consider jazz standards were written well before the 60's. As far as pop/rock goes, I think the peak was '73. There are certainly plenty of examples of exceptional songs written since then, but I think in general it's mostly down... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use another Rogue Sphinx. I think it's a lot of bang for the buck. |
