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.
I am afraid I agree with the man. Tull was a musician and had a distinctive style.
The Times They Are A-Changin’ ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXXnirEinfo
“Or even at Brubeck.”
DB’s music more-or-less represented that whole smooth jazz/martini/Playboy Mansion aesthetic of the 60s. It was the bastard descendant of the swing bands, so to speak. In fact you can even argue that 70s groups like KC & The Sunshine Band and ELO were the final chapter in this tradition before it finally became too expensive to have large instrumental ensembles.

Might as well make it a threefer.
Pete Seeger - “Big Rock Candy Mountain”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AfIOAC9f1c
I wasn’t a hippie but I was certainly around them back in the day. here’s a few
Canned Heat - forgotten blues band
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QexOuH8GS-Y
Jefferson Airplane
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vATqVW2pQI
IMO they never played this simple song again live as well as they did in the initial live studio recording
Janis Joplin live studio outtake which I find interesting
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HesegFuY3pk
then there’s this ... Gurley’s guitar intro is absolutely frightening but defined the long forgotten san francisco psychedelic guitar sound. 1st generation fuzz box on 10. Not my thing but influential ... And of course Janis ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xqbvblr7rcI
I just “discovered” Van Zandt, thanks to my 20-something son. He really was talented, but such unfortunate life choices he made! Never went thru the hippie thing, tho I knew quite a few.
Ppretty much everything Van Zandt did is available at Spotify, an app I downloaded from Facebook (probably elsewhere, but overall I am a cyber-illiterate)
Here is one of the greatest stoned-hippie guitarists of all time, Steve Hillage:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyrxtVnc-28
He could play, check out 3:02 et seq.
“There’s 70s music that still sounds good today but JT isn’t among them. Their playing style, arrangements, and sound are very dated.”
I’d have to agree. You never even hear them played on classic rock stations
Speaking of ELO
Showdown
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYhqlOQ1vHY
I swear, Jeff Lynne hasn’t aged a bit.
You have to listen to Eldorado from start to finish to appreciate what a masterpiece it is. I’ve probably played it at least 20 times over the last month, how I overlooked it all of these years, I’ll never know.

Listen to this 2007 NPR story about Fats’ reappearance after Katrina.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10470031
Rock ‘n’ roll legend Fats Domino was on stage last Saturday for the first time since Hurricane Katrina hit his hometown of New Orleans. The 79-year-old sat at a piano to play a medley of his hits at Tipitina’s nightclub.
New Orleans Times-Picayune music writer Keith Spera talks with John Ysdstie about the performer’s stage fright, and his successful Tipitina’s show.
Old hippies: you know we were 'there' because we can't remember...
(Gary Wright was in Spooky Tooth on this album people bought for the cover, played a few tracks and then put on an Allman Brothers album- or maybe some King Crimson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-PfnJb24tw)

About the same time. A bit of jazziness mixed with classic Ozzy and Iommi's guitar innovation.
