LOVE? Oh, what pleasant memories i have of a bunch of friends and i sitting around another friend's room listening to their first album..(she and I recently linked up in FB...first time I'd talked to her in over 40 years)..we'd listen to Jefferson Airlplane, Love, Donovan, Grateful Dead...all sorts of stuff...sigh...the good ol' days.

13th Floor Elevators?  I did'n't think anybody else had ever heard of them :-)


Jim

[Beargizmo]

Oh, love Bob Marley, Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks, Leon Redbone...early Joe Cocker (Mad Dogs and Englishmen), and then there's a string of blues guitarists too numerous to mention

[loveJwhite]

Love is my all time favorite band-EVER!

[ibtryin]

PINKFLOYD!!

[Beargizmo]

They were unique and definitely very underrated...oh, how I wish I had all of those "albums" from back then.  Growing up in San Francisco in the 60's everytime somebody knew came along I'd buy their album (of course Love was from LA)...but I wish I still had those..

13th floor elevators...I've got that sound from their "big hit" going through my head now.


Jim

[Beargizmo]

And of course the Rolling Stones, though I prefer their early "bluesy" days, though I kick my a$$ that I never went to see them.

[Punkinhead75]

Bob Dylan, Metallica,  Old Crow Medicine Show, Traveling Wilburys, Roger Miller, Megadeth, and of course Deep Purple

[loveJwhite]

Everyone has something or other in there that I love as well! We rule!

[ymerej]

becca

[janet19]

Janice Joplin, Joe Cocker, Beach boys, Journey, Bachman Turner, Rollings Stones yeah! I saw one of there concerts, I also saw beach boys. Roy orbinson, patsy cline, johnny cash, willie, beatles, queen, james taylor, I also saw blue oyster cult, I saw Elton John in his very younger days with his pink piano, I saw Rolling stones Orange county fair in California. Damn fleetwood mac, tracy chapman, barenaked ladies, snoop dog, just went to see George Strait, Reba Mcintire, Lee Ann Womack last weekend in Nashville, Reba put on a great great show, lee ann womack no that woman has energy. Geroge is a great singer but is just blah walking around stage to make sure he hit all angles. Was a little disappointed. I like any kind of music, blues, jazz, folk, bluegrass. I had some of the best times ever at bluegrass fesivals.

[livngr8ful]

The dead and Phish by far.  And any good old country. mix it up with some good energy and all is good.  Wow ive done way to many drugs.

[Beargizmo]

Maybe it's my age...never been able to get into Phish.  Only saw them once about 15 years ago..opened for Santana...


Now the Dead...what I'd give for just one more show.


Jim

[livngr8ful]

I was at the last Seattle show. Awesome.  Phish ive been to 43 shows and loved every second of it.  I understand why some dont enjoy it. I think its the memories of the shows and people I saw.

[livngr8ful]

Ya can have the drug's but Im keeping the music..... Dance on my friends dance on...

[feohmoon]

Phish was at Bonnaroo last time we went - I am a dead fan for sure - I love Pink Floyd, Doors, Beatles, CSN&Y, love love love Janis Joplin. - I was born in the wrong era for sure!

[feohmoon]

Although I am not a fan of newer country, there is a song I want everyone to hear that struggles with addiction....Rodney Atkins (I am almost certain) 'If You're Going Through Hell'...Check that song out, it is very inspirational.

[jimimiddlefinger]

Mother Love Bone, Grunt Truck, The Melvins, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Korn, Static-X and of course........

.....SLIPKNOT!

[IrwinStone]

1. Lynyrd Skynyrd 2. movie themes ( braveheart, Legends of the fall, and other classical symphony acts) 3. zeppelin 4. Jethro Tull . 5. Be bop Deluxe

[sky_is_the_limit]

Always Loved Metallica!  But Pink Floyd is one of my favorites! The DOORS KICK A__! Janis Joplin is One Of The Greats! Seen OZZY a couple times he rocks. Rage Against The Machine ROCKS> I could go on and on. MUSIC IS MY INSPIRATION!

[IBKleen]

Every time this post comes back up it gets me singing. I'm sure I posted earlier but I won't go look. I know me, it was all 60's and 70's bands probably.

I was just thinking of some stuff I have on CD in my car:

Traci Chapman, UB40, Stevie Wonder, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Hot Tuna, Blind Faith, George Benson, Johnny Lang, Frank Sinatra, Bob Marley, Genesis.

I must be getting old, who the heck is Phish?

[feohmoon]

I forgot to mention CCR (how could I forget them guys) and I love Jefferson Starship...Bob Marley, Bob Dylan,  Dr.Hook - I love Dr.Hook, are there others with me on that?

I do enjoy the posts about music, music has been such an overwhelming inspiration for my fiance and I - when we feel bad, we just crank up some music and it leads us through....every time.

A song that I can always enjoy is Gloria Gaynor...I Will Survive...lol

[Beargizmo]

I was at the Fillmore West in SF when Janis performed her final shows with Big Brother..unfortuntely I had to listen from outside as the line went all around the building and she played 2-3 shows.  Was great to hear though.  Saw her several times prior to that.

Jim

[jstntime]

I want your CD IBKleen!!!  Throw on a few ACDC songs and we're good to go!!!

[jillbo272]

A song that has always helped me when I am down is Bob Marley "Three little birds",,Gotta love CCR and Floyd,,how the list could go on,,wish I was born 30 years earlier my life would be great!!!!!!

[IBKleen]

You are not going to believe this and I will have to take a lie detector test. Dr. Hook, lead singer Dennis I might add, was a guy who I hung with at a park in Jersey City. I suppose you could look it up. I am not tooting my own horn..it is just cool.

Janis, saw her at least 3 times, alone, with Jimi Hendrix and of course at Woodstock.

CCr rocks.

How about the Bnad..The Weight? Saw them in CA. Saw Hendrix twice, Morrison once, the Dead more times then I can count, Airplane more times then I can count. Eric Clapton...Carlos Santana, Freddie Mercery.

Wow, you guys are freaking me out!!!

I am stuck in the 60"s...........

[IBKleen]

Oh yeah,and in what I remember to be 1967 maybe I saw Cream, The Who and Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels play in NY. It was cool..I think..LOL

Okay, now I feel liver spots bursting on my hands I am so old..thanks for the memories guys?

[jillbo272]

That so rocks,,,I would do anything to have been in ur shoes just half of those times,,,You must have the best stories!!!!!!!

[IBKleen]

Spell check please...what I have done to these poor bands names. I don't remember a lot of it but what I do remember was cool at the time. Good memories!!

[livngr8ful]

WHO IS PHISH!  I didn't think we were suppose to hurt others feelings here. LOL.  Get on youtube and listen to scents and subtle sounds, or sparkle.  Some like some dont.. Ya know how music just becomes apart of us (kinda like drugs) music's an addiction I will keep.

[IBKleen]

Okay, Phil Lesh...where have I been? Hanging my head, tail between my legs, sneaking out...

[mikchez]

Yeah Yeah Yeah
Beatles
Talking about old concerts
Seen Led Zeppelin they were the opening act for Vanilla Fudge, 5 encores nobody cared to see VF after that.  
Pink Floyd concert one of the best featuring dark side of the moon 360 sound.....wow
Frank Zappa, Alice Copper great shows.
Elvis that was a concert to remember.......Women throwing panties and hotel keys on stage??  

[Dav125]

Look at you go Sarah! Did you grow up listening to the music radiating out my window or what? :). Lest us not forget Jimi Hendrix, The Who. Pink Floyd,Jefferson "Airplane", Neil Young w/Crazy Horse, Johnny Guitar Watson, Phil Collins, TenYears After....And IBKleen?,,God, Quicksilver Messenger Service. I haven't thought about them in ages!

Think I'll have to go down to my barn and see what "8 tracks" I have left in my box! There's one band I'm trying to think of, can visually remember listening to them in my bedroom with the black light on looking at all my posters on the walls..Don't you just hate that when its on the tip of your tongue, can hear one of the songs in my head, and just can't connect. I remember part of the lyrics mentioning "Our Pres Nixon" verbadum, but can't connect. I'm thinking it was a solo album that one of The Dead might of made.

And mention of Woodstock? I was looking on the web here about 3 months ago and tripped across all the interviews and stuff they did in celebration of the 40th anniversary last year.. With alot of digitally reworked video..I got lost in that for about 4 days showing my kids what a "real" concert was :):) Darn, I was just shy of being old enough to go..My older brother did get there though. At the time we lived about 60 miles away from Max Yasger's farm..Got a great video of him speaking to the crowd ,then present day interviews with Michael Lang , Artie Cornfeld, and Wavy Gravy, the hog farm commune guy that brought all his group in to cook, cook, and cook again along with some other things.. .

Yes, 8 tracks,,still have them, but no player to play them on anymore :):)..This thread certainly is a blast from the past! Got all kinds of memories swirling here....

[IBKleen]

Dav, Was it Kathryn & Duffy & the Enemies? They were somehow connected to Lindsay Buckingham I think.

Remember when 8 tracks came with new cars? ROFL

[feohmoon]

You a** ...lol...I am so jealous!  Boy, we could have had a lot of fun together if the timing would have been right...sure we wouldn't remember but perhaps we would have taken pictures with a polaroid.

I am going to have to listen to some Hook...I will think of you now every time.

[IBKleen]

Marshall Tucker, Blind Faith, Mountain & Bad Company. I haven't been able to shut off my iPod for days now!
