Indeed. It kicks off “the Kids are Alrught” documentary.
the who is #1
Boom!!
Everybody in music is influenced by someone before them
Meet Bach
In some way he influenced everyone especially in “rock”
Daltrey didn’t compare himself to Hendrix
He said Jimi aped some of Pete’s antics
Both he and Pete have made a lifetime lauding Hendrix skills
That wasn’t the point’....
Agree…. Hendrix is imprinted in my historical music memory as a teen…. Still loved The Who…..
Another favorite was Moody Blues….Days of Future Past and Knights in White Satin. Love the raw talent of those musicians who performed so passionately LIVE… also much appreciation for groups that created awesome albums in studio. Another favorite was Steely Dan, but when I was working on my art projects back in the day… it was Indianola Mississippi Seeds…BB King and Songs in the Key of Life…Stevie Wonder…
All this before woke culture colored my appreciation for some of my fav artists…. 😢
I am listening to Dire Straights and Steely Dan right now.
My favs: Jimi Hendrix, Moody Blues, CRN@Y,Yes, Jethro Tull, Led Zeplin, Carly Simon and James Taylor and that entire crew.
My fav concert may be Jethro Tull, with the ballerina as an opening. Blew me away. Seeing Yes in some small venue I don’t remember was awesome.
I saw Neil Diamond from the third row. That was special.
👍🏻
You can only imitate.
We saw Neil Diamond many moons ago at The Greek
Same with Paul Newman at Road Atlanta. Up close and personal.’

My hubbie was a song writer musician in late 1960’s early 1970’s. He use to see a lot of his favorite artists at small club venues in LA and OC… like Prison of Socrates….Hoyt Axton let him tape his set, also Jose Feliciano.
When I met him we use to go see artists like Linda Ronstadt, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Steve Martin, Carpenters, BB King and many others at the Golden Bear. Too bad these clubs are gone…. They were great!
How cool. Good times. I saw Linda Ronstadt, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Steve Martin here in Atlanta at the old Southeast Music Hall. Very good memories. Weren’t we great? Harry Chapin, I would have gone with him anywhere. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band were at a family styled restaurant in the backwoods of the Georgia mountains when my mother and I were there. I enjoyed seeing the singers sitting in the rocking chairs on the wooden front porch. Good stuff.
