The Beatles

[Oldman]

studio recording is a whole different animal. i know guys that are amazing live players, but just get intimidated when the engineer hits record. studio work is
very demanding for a lot of reasons it is not better or worse than live music. just different. quite a bit different really.

What I thought, being a hacker not a player. Still, live music is the human element and the most memorable; even if it isn't the best representation of the art. Merry Christmas to all as this turned out to be an informative thread. Merry Christmas anyway.

Ok, so maybe we should circumvent the troll (sorry TFF, but in this case, if the shoe fits...) and turn this into what's your favorite track. Live if possible, captured on video if possible. I'll start with one of mine....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQsAxHk54x4
Lets see what you got.

Giving 1 favorite track is like impossible to do. Maybe 200...

Mine were like eating orange ice cream music pops while floating in space....

 

[usedtobefast]

the dead had a great vibe around them. maybe not the stuff some folks will"get". improvising stuff like they did, i hear the complaints myself in jokes.
"what did the deadhead say when the drugs wore off?...man this music sucks"
i am aware of that side of it. like some people go about miles davis or john coltrane and they don't like that stuff either. that is why we have abba. i like abba myself. very slick,polished and well done all the way. but then i like gamelan and old time too. but, i digress. hey, more later

Okay, since politics and various topics are appropriate here, I thought I'd bring up one I hope will get people boiling with anger.

I cannot stand The Beatles. The only one with any talent was George Harrison, and that was minimal. Every year around Christmas I froth at the mouth when I hear that "Simply having a wonderful Christmas time" song by the most talentless of them, Sir Paul McCartney. John Lennon was self absorbed and not a very talented song writer. "Imagine" just isn't that great of a song. And Ringo? Please!

The White Album could be amusing when under the influence of certain substances, but all in all, I am just not a fan of their music. In fact, I listen most anything they wrote, and turn it off quickly. Especially anything done by Sir Paul McCartney. He is a real hack.

And you?

I can't stand them either, since I have absolutely no tolerance for pop music. I like real British Rock n' Roll like Zepplin, The Stones, The Clash, and Sabbath.

Beatle, Who, Stones, Spencer Davis Group, Kinks, John Mayall, original Fleetwood Mac all begat what you revere.

Clash=third generation punks owing everything to the Who and their friends...yes-Beatles.

Zeppelin=Jeff Beck let Jimmy Page play rythm guitar in his first band. They stole blues from everyone else. Having said that; I saw them play on a floating stage on Green Lake in Seattle as the openning act for Three Dog Night. They were great and I loved them.

Sabbath= have you ever heard of King Crimson? Come on, the internet is a good tool. Try not to be one yourself.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

You can't steal the blues

 

[Oldman]

You can't steal the blues

True. But they actually tried to take credit for some old blues rifts: think "squeeze my lemon". Then someone played several old, scratchy records and Jimmy Page remembered where the riffs came from.
