Even though they’re really from Southern California. That almost has a New Orleans-like feel.
Didn’t get into them until years after Lowell George left us. I like his voice. I don’t know that I’ve ever watched a video clip of them, so I’m glad you posted that.
I’m sort of glad it’s about all over.
What year is that? Do you know, offhand? Lord, that’s a sweet guitar. I’m listening to it while I’m typing.
But the album “Live Wire/Blues Power” was released in 1968. This is the title tune, so probably about that time.
I saw him in 1967 (in a little club in the Village, don’t remember which one) and he was using the same amplifier but a smaller band. King, bass, drums, organ, tenor, and trumpet.
sometime in the mid-80s, Chicago or vicinity.
Great stuff. I also got to see Koko Taylor who I think just passed away.

I posted that one on my own blog the day she died.
She handles Willie Dixon’s burly lyrics with spirit.
back in the day. Good pick, Ardy!
Gordon Gano’s American music lyrics, too.
“Petulia”. I had to rewind and look twice and sure enough, it’s him alright. It’s a cool movie that it set in San Francisco in 1968 and Janis Joplin opens the movie singing in some club.
Who put the Owsley in Hef’s martini!?
KBDI played three videos in solid rotation, all from the Album “Making Movies.” They were “Tunnel of Love,” “Skateaway” and this –
I hadn’t noticed it before.

turns up on lots of people’s stuff
My good friend and fellow traveler Tyrone Cotton, from Louisville KY.
Thanks for posting it.
The band I played with in college scraped together enough money to book an hour of studio time and headed across the river to New York with stars in our eyes to record a demo.
This is the tune we recorded.
Your friend plays it much better.
Between you and Ralphie, I think you two have heard of just about everybody.

Tyrone’s original work is really nice too. You can find more if you surf around.
(Disclosure-I am trying to create a fan base so I can convince to come out to the Mountain West for a visit).
He mostly plays acoustic now, but back in high school he would do some crazy stuff at parties on an ax. He studied classical guitar in college and has studied a lot on the history of blues in Louisville and Cincinnati areas, which predictably mixes river and Chicago styles.
and I realize that Space is the Place!
Maybe it’s about high time to be part of a “mythocracy.”

It’s After the End of the World, Don’t You Know That Yet?!
Here’s a 1:22 second transmission received by Sun Ra from the planet El Saturn:
And raise you a Mothership Connection.
And Ozzy at the height of his powers. The lyrics are a little different than the Album. “politicians hide themselves away, they only start the wars, why should they go out to fight they leave battle to the poor”
And to think as a kid I thought they were talking about the Devil when they said “Satan laughing.” They were talking about man.
but it is a good one.
I find it musically boring.
I know its heretical, but I don’t like Dylan as music because his music (not the lyrics) doesn’t reach me emotionally.
I love the lyrics, but I don’t feel the music.
Dylan has matured a lot as a musician, but I chose this version because you can understand the words…but me, I love Dylan.
They are on at that concert; almost downright jazzy. Tony Iommi often gets nods for his guitar playing, but what a potent rhythm section at work there. I think there’s other cool clips online from that same show, like them playing “Fairies Wear Boots.”
in 1980 or 81.
I’ve been lucky and seen lots of great music, pretty crazy range of genres.
Good pick.
This Album kept me going through the dark days of republican control
Not sure what he is up to these days, but Jim Page out of the NW (OR?) has good agit-prop songs.
Thanks for making Friday a little brighter.
I really like the VF stuff–as a college boy in Iowa City, I got to see a whole lot of them in their early days. Most of blues greats come through town too. I’ll try to post some Son Seals when I get a chance (my favorite).
this video is way more entertaining and interesting than anything Michael Jackson or Madonna ever did.
…thanks to a tiny and underrated record store in Bonnie Brae (Public Image Records) I had every existing Madness album, EP and 45.
This single, along with “Baggy Trousers” were my two favorite songs by Madness.
haven’t heard that in ever
I never get anything done on Fridays … I just spent the last hour listening to the Psychedelic Furs. So here’s two
at the Concert for New York City after 9/11
Feels good to jam, especially after the way Obama handled the R’s in the lion’s den.
I believe the guy playing the gold-top behind Marley at 0:26 might be Al Anderson, from my hometown in Jersey.
God he was a great guitar player, even in high school.
Here’s another favorite son, a contemporary of Al. There were some great jam sessions in Chuck’s basement.

a time or two as a kid.
I used to work at the rink!
but I seem to recall it was outdoors in a park. I can’t really recall where we’d go to rinks, though.
You probably did your share of reading the Aquarian–North Jersey’s answer to the Village Voice!
It was in Essex Park.
But if it was a pond in a park, it was Edgemont Park. I used to be a summer playgrould leader there too, LOL.
I might have read the Aquarian, but I was gone from there by 1972.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s Howl was one of the great under appreciated albums of the last decade. This is my favorite of the upbeat tunes on that album.
My sister played this album so many times the grooves in the record went straight through to the floor.
