After lumping a whole pile of Steely Dan on Dave, guess I better come clean. I, also, am a Steely Dan convert. I used to hate them. The Who were so much more aggressive. And who likes horns, anyway? My friend Mike told me, "Someday you'll understand the Dan". Many years later I picked up a...

Not to mention the BeeGee's Hey...have you ever heard the Bee Gee's first album (aptly named "Bee Gee's 1st")? It's tremendous. Must have been like 1968. It's very late 60's provincial Brit-pop. Kind of like Moody Blues, Small Faces, or "Village Green" era Kinks. I was shocked t...

No doubt about it...Roy was a little wacked. There was a PBS special from around 1970 called "The World's Greatest Unknown Guitar Player", or something like that. I used to have it on VHS. It was live studio cuts with interviews and his story in between. He does stuff from the first album;...

Some bands play it the same every night, some don't. I'd go crazy if we had to I agree with Felix on this. Having played in blues, bluegrass and alt-rock bands, I find I need a little room for self expression. The Alt band did things the same every night...got boring real fast, but the money was go...

Is your favorite Live album really "Live"?

I was starting to post this on the "Favorite Live Album " thread, but thought it was too off-topic. Some people love live records; Jam Band fans especially. Some folk love to hear live renditions of big faves stripped down by two sincere looking guys strumming acoustics. No doubt that &quo...

It's about the song, and I take a lot more satisfaction when someone says it's tasteful than when they say I'm good. Thasss right...all in service of the song. :) That's the way it should be, but it can be tough. You get praised if you walk all over everyone else, throw a fit and fall on the floor ...

There is definitely an etiquette involved with "sitting in". I never ask to sit in...NEVER. You have to be asked to sit in...PERIOD. If someone I don't know asks to sit in, they won't. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. An exception would be if you are REALLY good friends with the band, or a...
