Frampton Comes Alive is Peter's most popular album for some reason. Radio stations always play "Show Me The Way" and "Baby I Love Your Way".

I routinely claim that I've attended every Dead show ever. I stick to that claim. Hornsby I don't like, but of the 48,396 shows I attended, give or take, some of his were among the best.

Everyone's talking about their stadium concert experiences tonight. Sadly I don't have any (yet).
  11:17pm
bigplanetnoise:

In the mid-70’s, a few and I used to see shows at the Palace Theater in Albany. We’d often go even if we didn’t know much about the act. We saw Frampton a couple months before the live album came out, not know much about him other than his time with Humble Pie. Half-full house at best. The show was jawdroppingly great. We told everyone how incredible it was. Then, the album dropped and all hell broke loose.

my first "concert" was the 'dead at madison square garden. i don't remember the music but i know they played for 4 hours and my friends said they're getting down to the floor. then we got separated and i figured i'd find them on the floor. i found that on the floor i couldn't see the band at all and after the show my friends (who were far more experienced than i with concert-going) said they couldn't get down to the floor.

Off to bed, just like that night in '71 when the Moody Blues invited me to a show featuring the fledgling Jethro Tull, which I couldn't attend because I had to go to a Dead show, of course, but man I was so tired, and still I couldn't miss the Dead show.

@Franco: I'm a transplant--if I understand what that means--from many years in LA to "the Bay Area," whatever that means. I think I prefer Mexican food that emanates closer to Mexico. However, if you're in Concord up in these parts, do dine at Mercado del Sol. Yummy Mexican food!

In one of the two Summertime vids I've seen, Ray Dorsett has got to be the ugliest guy I've ever seen in a rock video. He looks like someone playing Bottom in a production of "Midsummer Night's Dream" (like how I got the show theme in there?) *after* the transformation.

G'night. Speaking of Detroit, check out upcoming shows by The Dogs, an underrated trio from the city.

Hearing mungo Jerry’s song on the radio made me sit up and take notice

They did some other cool stuff, including a cool Jacques Dutronc cover I'll have to dig out.

Summer Breeze is a very popular song to cover for some reason.

I've always wanted to get off the 580 in Concord. Now I have a reason. Isn't Concord the last stop on the BART? Maybe a day trip.

@Erica - I only know of the Seals and Crofts version and this one. Who else does it?

Never heard this version, but the Brothers’ voices and guitar and this tune together are still injecting me with some flashbackstalgia.

The Isleys did so many amazing covers of 70s AM Gold

Their version of Fire and Rain is epic

Oh Yeah, The Dogs! Saw them in 1977 opening for the Talking Heads at The Golden Bear in Huntington Beach.

A friend was extra scornful of what she regarded as a band’s failed rendition/interpretation of Summertime the other night at a local blues festival. “Why...why would you do that...?”

Erica:

There are many versions of Summer Breeze Larry. But you should check out the version by the Australian band Stylus.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:59pm

Thanks Erica, I will seek that out!

@SBP - What was it like?

Sorry I took so long to answer Larry as there was a beetle on my carpet and had trouble getting it out of my house.

Top notch, Larry! Thanks for opening the door to summer on the last day of Spring.

Too showy... working too hard to be soulful raw shouty, without genuine feel or suitable sense in singer.

@Erica - No problem. Get that beetle!

And I don't say that to damn Janis, but to recognize the influence that her version had on a generation of less talented vocalists

Well this show was interesting.
