Music thread for all you old hippies (vanity, oh yeah)

some former hippie

[West Texas Chuck]

Who among us used to be one of those long-haired flea-infested dope-smoking denizens of the rock concert world?

Guilty. And recovered.

Post up some old tunes for a Saturday night.

[West Texas Chuck]

I was never all that much a Dead Head, but this song always meant something to me, I can't exactly put my finger on what. Its just so simple and captures something from those days so long ago.

Old dead (no pun intended) Jerry and his band.

[West Texas Chuck]

Dang it, I suck at HTML.

I am right there with you brother. The “Dead” were some group. Recovery makes it all more appreciable. I am heading out to “Bethel Woods Center”, site of the original 1969 Woodstock festival, for an Irish folk concert momentarily. Happy St. Patrick’s Day to ya.

[Revolting cat!]

Can it get worse than this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVpoiChuyWI

[West Texas Chuck]

That’s AWESOME!!!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The Weight, by The Band

[MountainYankee]

Anything by Townes Van Zante. Youtube has them all. I can’t figure out how to post the links.

Legend of the USS Titanic

[West Texas Chuck]

Yeah, if I hadn’t cleaned up, I might not be here to annoy the mods.

I got a few dead pals who went just a few steps too many down that Highway to Hell.

Happy St. Patty’s back at ya.

[West Texas Chuck]

Nope, that is about the pinnacle of suckiness for me.

After “Puff, the Magic Dragon” they were done ;)

[West Texas Chuck]

Wow, it sure is dusty in here.

THAT may be the post of the night, right there.

I got a few dead pals who went just a few steps too many down that Highway to Hell.

Saw many that were loved go down that highway. Many were just doing their duty in Vietnam and could not handle what they saw once they came home. Miss them all. They were the best of our best, and could not adjust.

“they said she’d never go down...”

We used to love that line, for some reason...

The Music Machine - Talk Talk

Absolutely the best drum riff in all of Rock and Roll history...

[MountainYankee]

The road to recovery is littered with shattered souls, some living , some dead.

[tx_eggman]

One of my all time favorites ... not a bad cut on it. Arthur Lee was great.

The Scorsese documentary of The Band, The Last Waltz, raised the bar for concert documentaries through the roof. Unlike most, it is a good movie even if you never heard of The Band before.

[corbe]

I resemble that Slur, still have long hair, live with 3 dogs and a cat so yeah I got fleas, dope stuff, well only a couple of times a year to recover a lost appetite-Surgery has been cruel...LOL.....Still Love the Music. Last night included Allman Brothers AND Mahogany Rush. Thanks for the Thread, should be fun.

[Revolting cat!]

Yep! Protopunk!

Here’s one of my favorites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efpp03h_Ja8&NR

"Them" featuring Van Morrison, mid 1960's.

Animals - House Of The Rising Sun 1964

The White Buffalo - The House of The Rising Sun (Sons of Anarchy Version)

Both are brilliant. Heck the Animals could probably read music.

Yeah, I'm the Brasilian music guy. Doesn't mean I don't love the genius of the classics, I just can't find comparable today.

Cheers!

[West Texas Chuck]

Oh mang, I ain't heared that in at least 30 years. My only recourse at this point, is A Classic. Chew on that for 17 minutes and 6 seconds.

[Caipirabob]

Kind of wrong, I do like Slipknot (perhaps we should re-read the zombie threat from earlier)

[RegulatorCountry]

I’ll see your Atlantis and raise you a Mountain, lol.

Always loved Atlantis, btw. Thanks for posting it.

Psychotic Reaction - Count Five

One of the first tunes that I recall having a vaguely pre-psychedelic sound:

She's Not There

The Seeds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwaS1EyZgWc

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

I was an oddball hippie, always very Conservative. Learned to play (sort of) lap steel one day, and played this tune at the first Milwaukee “Be In.” We were the big hit of the show!

[Strk321]

Slipknot is pretty bad. The 2000s was a dark period for music. Terrible radio bands designed for 10 year olds like Creed, Nickelback and Linkin Park, old geezers like RHCP and U2 running on fumes, etc. Luckily it’s a new decade now and all the stale remnants from the 90s are finally fading away.

[deport]

I can’t figure out how to post the links.

Not sure what your needs are but a few minutes on this practice thread may help.

Outsiders - Respectable - [original AM radio version]

Never hear that song in the same way again after watching “Goodfellas.”

By far and away my favorite Dead tune is “Box Of Rain,” but there’s not a single decent YouTube, the studio recording is better.

So, here’s Cream instead. “Badge.”
