I don't blame the guys for making a buck. It is kinda sad to see a Credence Clearwater Revisted playing w/o a John Fogerty though. Talk about grasping at straws.
And this surprised you?
I'm a Dylan guy all the way. If not for Dylan, the Band would have been a footnote in the history books.
Is Levon Helm still kicking?
Probably a big improvement. Too bad he didn't play the violin too.
I'm showing my age! LOL
Me too. This is a sad bit of news. Very sad.
LOL..ok I am with you on the Cobain suicide thing and wearing a black armband. But I did take offense to the casino slap because Boston is to this day one of the biggest rock bands of all time and did not sink that many notches down the venue pole like Night Ranger or Quiet Riot.
Levon Helm is working a lot. Not getting rich though but he loves playing. He hates Robbie Robbertson for cheating him. You can google it.
What about Molly Hatchet.I think there's only one original member left and it isn't Danny Joe Brown.The new lineup does kind of kick ass though.The singer sounds alot like DJB.
Yeah back in October he had a bad motorcycle accident...I wonder if he had a head injury from it and like Michael Hutchence...something snapped inside them.
Looks like it, but you couldn't tell by me. I'd never heard of him until his death and I live in NH. Of course there are (otherwise right-thinking) people who believe the music was just getting good in the '70s and that's exactly the time I pretty much tuned it out because it was so horrible.
Another drug culture icon assumes room temperature by his own hand.
Nobody blows away Rush live...c'mon...I like Rory...but blew Rush off the stage? I mean 82 was their Signals tour...a tour that was incredible beyond words for Rush at the time.
Sorry, looked back and had you confused with someone else.
i remember being amazed at the sound that came out of that first Boston Record. Similar to the sensation of first hearing Dark SIde of the Moon. You sat there mesmerized by the sound quality.
Boston wouldn't have been squat without the guitar work of Barry Goudreau. He was Boston's trademark sound.
He pops up around Albany occasionally playing in clubs, or contributing to local musicians.
Cool guy.
I have a live album that starts off with Bullfrog Blues. I love that song. If I see anything regarding Taste, I'll let you know.
Scott Says might have a insight.
No ma'am, happy as a razor clam at high tide. :o)
Wow, there's a name I haven't thought of in years. Rory was a great guitar man.
I did a "your most memorable Concert experience" thread a couple years back. Man, did freepers drag out the memories for that one. Might be time for a new one soon.
