I'm kicking it old school...
...this weekend on the music front and making myself a new playlist with favorite tracks culled from all my classic rock albums, including this song (Although, my playlist will feature the original recording, not the reunion version here.) which is a classic from Cream.
Ginger Baker is my favorite drummer of all time along with John Bonham. I get a kick out of watching this video of the Cream reunion. These old geezers are still rockin' it out though. Ginger's got his signature double bass kit and Clapton does a nice solo toward the end of the song. Sometimes I think I was born too late in terms of music. My favorite bands all had their heyday in the 60s-70s.
Cheers,
Daos

Happy Friday everybody! What song do you have blasting to kick off the start of the weekend? HAGWE! -MW This message has been edited by DRMW on 2011-03-18 01:04:33
A most memorable drum solo!
Great choice! Interesting how many wrongfully interpreted the lyrics of the song. Anyone remember his guest appearance on the then hit tv show Miami Vice? -MW
Yes,
the man just wrote the song out of feeling and a bunch of people thought he was describing some horrible personal experience .
we should remember that the face value album was written after his first divorce
there are a lot of songs which hint at personal trauma so maybe a bit of his personal experiences went into it. i was a lifelong Genesis fan and still have the original Decca labelled 'Genesis to revelation' LP, but lost a bit of interest when they went a...
When....
I said it wasn't describing some horrible personal experience I should have elaborated a little bit more, what I was referring to is that people thought he saw somebody drowning and refused to save the individual and similar nonsense (literal interpretati...

you should be aware that Peter Gabriel was singer from the formation of genesis until 'the Lamb lies down on Broadway' so you may not like their stuff as much as the later stuff. when they took 'the lamb' on tour in the 'seconds out' album Collins had rep...

The British artists of that era really understood...
...the power of the blues and tapped into the raw emotion of that genre to create rock music of lasting importance. Robert Johnson is one of my favorite musicians and I doubt that many of my peers listen to his original recordings, but all of them know Cl...

i have a Robert Johnson CD which came with a peter green anthology. the original man behind Fleetwood mac who as you know were really a blues band for the first few years. i'm currently listening to Tim Rose who, in his own right, is virtually unheard of,...
On our public broadcasting station, PBS...
...there was an excellent series called The Blues which was executive produced in part by Martin Scorsese, who is a music aficionado, that I really enjoyed. Sounds like a good companion piece to what you're watching on the BBC. Cheers, Daos

I have neither a good TV or audio setup...
...but I still enjoy my audio-visual programming. The one thing I can't live without is my DVR. I record tons of programs to watch on a rainy day (like today). Cheers, Daos
Robert Johnson "The Complete Recordings"
Well worth picking up to hear what made this master so famous.
Died at 27, just like Jimi, Janis and so many others
Weird how that seems to be the age where extreme excess and demons caught up with so many.
Coincidence, Mrsnak...
...or is something else more nefarious at work? Don't mess with the rock gods! Cheers, Daos...
its got to be coincidence...
its got to be coincidence as i'm still hear nearly 20 years further on...
