Music - Anybody remember this?

[BTravlin]

I'm surprised you can hear at all.

 

[Onward]

I did not take drugs at either concert

Of course you didn't.

 

[SarahW]

OK, here's the man. Leon Russell, baby.

[SarahW]

And... my man, Joe. Sing it, baby.

At that time, this was one of my favorites:

YouTube - Take A Giant Step Taj Mahal

Nobody could write a song like Carole King.

 

[Nodak]

Taj Mahal was a favorite of mine also. I was lucky enough to see him in concert at the Guthrie theater in Minneapolis.

Taj is still around - I saw him on the blues cruise (www.bluescruise.com) this past January. And still really great!

 

[RonBoyd]

Taj is still around - ... And still really great!

Here he is performing a year ago:

YouTube - Taj Mahal - Lovin' in My Baby's Eyes

Like, Bob Dylan, he's gonna go on forever.

 

[DeborahB]

YouTube - Janis Joplin - Ball and Chain

YouTube - Janis Joplin - Cry Baby (live in toronto 1970)

I saw her three times in person - it was always unbelievable. The albums never captured her stage presence or range. So it's fabulous to see that some of the performances are out there on the net... So sad, such a short career. So many people died young.

Jan. 2011 Caribbean | Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise

I get to see him again in January! (Cruise is sold out...)

 

[RonBoyd]

... So sad, such a short career.

Without a doubt, no one has ever put more of themselves into a song than her... and it was every song. Forty years later and she still moves me.

Wow! Thinker25, thanks for those, I was unaware of those guys.

Years ago (late 70's or early 80's I think), I saw the Moody Blues in concert. Very, very good.

Oh, yeah. Those were the days.

YouTube - Moody Blues - Tuesday Afternoon (1970)

Edgar Winter
America
Moody Blues
The Doors

Wow! Unfortunately, I was among the concert-avoidance crowd... as in the Sinatra (Anka) song: "Regrets? I have a few."

 

[DeborahB]

Wow! Thinker25, thanks for those, I was unaware of those guys.

Glad you like them. Jason & New Blood have a couple of CDs out - Todd has a new CD but I think it's not available yet.

Ok. I´m drooling.

 

[IndependentlyPoor]

OK, how about some more British electric blues. All about desperation, insanity, isolation, and loneliness.

YouTube - Supertramp - Hide in Your Shell

Supertramp stuff is hard to come by on YouTube, but here is another

I am impressed by your list. Not so much for the groups you have seen, but that you can remember. Recently I was talking to my sister and she mentioned the time we went to see Shawn Phillips in concert. I have no recollection of ever seeing Shawn Phillips.
