Newport, 1965, and Mike Bloomfield backing Bob Dylan in "Like a Rolling Stone" wherein Bob refers to himself as "Napoleon in Rags" in this snotty broadside aimed at Edie Sedgwick. Really, I think Mike does better work on this tune from the "Highway 61 Revisited" LP. Especially at the 4:33 mark... Sepiatone |

As far as the mid-60's are concerned here's a little something from Monterey Pop '67. You'll hear it introduced as a little noise from Mississippi.

Heh! Here's a version of that old standard by a little noise from Texas!   Sepiatone |

Canned Heat started in a similar manner as the Rolling Stones. They were a group of enthusiasts for the old blues recordings who got together and decided from there to form a band.

Thanks, Sepiatone and Lucky Dan. This Jukebox thread is tremendous fun!
What fascinates me about the Canned Heat "Rollin' and Tumblin'" is really that it is part of the whole documentary on the Monterey Pop Festival. TCM has shown it several times, and I love it every time it's on. I was only 10 when the festival took place so was just a bit young to really get into this stuff then. Now, half a century later, I find this period of music extraordinarily good! Watching Canned Heat, the Mamas and the Papas, and Janis Joplin at this time is mind-blowing!
And the shots of the audience are priceless. Someone in the YouTube comments identifies Karen Black as the woman rather unsuccessfully navigating the orange. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But the looks on the peoples's faces are terrific. And I rather prefer this documentary to "Woodstock." Monterey Pop just reminds me more of those golden years of childhood in the summers of the mid-60's.
Well, that should do it for the rose-colored, hippie glasses nostalgia tonight.

It was also The Who's second US gig. They'd played a week long set of shows at one place in NYC just prior. |

Picking up on Dylan again, I love some of the reinventions of his classics over the years. The mounting fury he puts into The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll really brings it to another level. You can almost feel that cane whipping through the air.

More Doo-Wop. Different generation. Certainly sanctified. But essentially, Doo-Wop.  |

Also sanctified. One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite singers. The white guy on the cover is there because a PSA commercial featuring this guy used the title song, but it's still cringeworthy considering the stature of the singer. It reminds me of the unfortunate cover of Nina Simone's RCA album To Love Somebody, with a white cartoon couple on the cover.

And speaking of both Canned heat, Dylan and too, "Rollin' And Tumblin' " , I ran across this recently ........ I have no idea when this was done. Early 2000's is all I know. And apparently all his own lyrics put to it. But hey, it's Bob. Sepiatone |

Here's something new, released in September, from British pop band, The 1975. A mix of electrified acoustic with a kind of minimalist backing track, all under an exuberant vocal. And a dancing mime couple with um chemistry.

I saw them live in early '69 . Guitarist Henry Vestine had a wall of Marshall cabs that had my ears ringing for a week afterwards. They were on the same bill with these two bands..... Quite a night. Sepiatone |

Well, Sepiatone, we're all glad you made it through that one and can tell us about it. It truly must have been some night. Would that have been at Cobo in Detroit?

How do I work this thing? How do I put another nickel in this nickel odie odeon!?? I'm a stranger here in this place called Earth And I was sent down here to discover the worth Of your little blue planet, third from the sun I feel like I have died and gone to heaven. If this thread was on the TCMs I am sorry I didn't know about it. I could post, read, listen & watch here 24-7. The criteria is as simple as a song from a movie? Oui? Non? I don't properly know how to snip/quote/comment on posts yet so apologies for my all-in-one bundle of thoughts below. "I Knew Her Well" I have now booked to watch. Great timing as this genre (of music at least) is fully on my present radar. My current library bundle of CDs (yes luddite alert! luddite alert Will Robinson!) just finished with Beginner's guide to French pop.  I thought my computer might short out with all the drool permeating my keyboard whilst looking at the record library and hearing Wanda on a mint SL-1200MK2. What concert had the CH/BP/Spirit line-up? Wowser. What timing as I finally gave up on getting around to uploading my LP version of Spirit and went the library CD route. Not to upset anyone, but I also have ABBAs The definitive collection out on loan. If it helps lesson the pain, Ritchie Blackmore is a huge fan of Abba and on June 4th 1980, Abba vocalist Agnetha Fältskog went to the soundcheck at Rainbow’s gig at the Isstadion, Stockholm to discuss a possible collaboration with Blackmore. Jon Lord collaborated with former ABBA superstar and family friend Anni-Frid Lyngstad on the 2004 track, "The Sun Will Shine Again" and performed with her across Europe. When I first heard about them together I misunderstook and thought they were a couple. That would have been such a deliciously huge blow to all the Disco Sucks naysayers out there but apparently I heard incorrectly. It was just a working relationship.  Which takes me to Christine Perfect. What a gem, unicorn, talent, loss. So many musical women have to go the long hair (Crystal), large bosom (Dolly), suggestive (Donna) or diva route to just get noticed, get airplay, get signed. She took the road less traveled and that really means a lot to someone who had a grandmother who wasn't considered a person.  Off to find some spare change to put another dime in this record machine baby! |
