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.

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.

I liked Peaches in Regalia. I used to listen to it all the time, that and Miles Davis, In a Silent Way. But here's something that popular in those days but not often heard since: Pearls Before Swine

Meh, the drummer just phoning it in...
Try Keith Moon of The Who....

[matginzac]

Got this on my iPod...
I play it whenever Obozo’s on the tube....

[P.O.E.]

Black Sabbath's "Wicked World"

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

[P.O.E.]

AWEsome tune. Lark’s Tongues in Aspic is STILL ahead of its time.
