I wish someone could please give me an idea as to why so many instrumental(especially guitar) virtuosos come from England, I read in Total Guitar magazine (best guitar rag in the world) an interview with a Brit guitarist who said that the reason England produces so many great guitarists is that the weather is so lousy, people just stay inside a lot and practice for hour upon hour.

Amazing how that works, isn't it? However, the first time I heard a song from "Dark Side of the Moon", Us and Them, it was a good month before the album was even released. I really liked the song instantly. Told some people about some excellent Pink Floyd music I had just heard. They badmouthed Floyd and said their music was weird.
About two months later the same people were telling me what a great album "Dark Side of the Moon" was.

The Airplane didn't start out being psychedelic.They were a fine folk-rock group till the latter part of 1967 when speed and coke influences caused the group to get way too spaced out in their musical ramblings.
I was one of their big fans from the 1966-67 period.It went downhill fast after that.

As you can see by the list I sent you...Bob is a fave.
The thing about him is that LIve he can either be very good or very bad.
Most people are totally turned off by his , oh hum, unique voice.
They may have seen a how or two and said- forget it, this guy sucks!
I have been a fan for a long time and have so many live shows that it is overwhelming.
I will say for my tastes and exposure...that Bob is awesome!
You need someone to turn you on to the "good stuff"
Truly mesmerizing transcendental stuff...makes me appreciate him so much, I wish I could play the "good stuff" for everyone.

Did you like "Hot Tuna", the spinoff band from "Airplane"?

Oh, I have a lot of Bob Dylan stuff and I really like it a lot...however, I don't have any of his live concerts like you do. After seeing him live twice, his singing was very good once (for Dylan) and very bad once. But the playing was always good.

Damn, talk about a one-two punch! Man I saw some great shows in the late 60s-early 70s. People nowadays have no idea what live rock really is. Certainly not like the overblown productions behind under-talented performers. Rock is music, NOT entertainment, if you get my meaning.

I guess Duane Allman's solo on "Whipping Post" from the Fillmore East concerts doesn't count. Aussie Blues meister Geoff Achison plays an acoustic version of Whipping Post. I saw him play it live at the Fur Peace Ranch a few years back.
Un-freaking-be-freaking-lievable. Jaw dropping.

I'll give "Land Of Heroes" a try,and am glad to learn that they're not all loopy leftists. I still can't listen to that 60s psychedelic stuff,though,it's just too grating or something.

Hot Tuna?That was around 1972 and by that time I was a pretty much dyed in the wool soul and R and B nut.
Rock music reached its heights around 1967 or so.The Byds,Rascals,Buffalo Springfield,Beatles,Animals,Kinks,Stones,Zombies,Doors,etc were the ones who moved my soul.

I like this one too! What is "Hotel California" doing on the top 10 list?

Mike Roe of the 77's. Incredible.
George Thorogood.
Bela Fleck plays banjo, but he kicks.
Dick Dale.
Robert Johnson of Steeleye Span: Precise, calculating, subtle, and long when necessary.
John Doyle, except he might not count because he does Celtic music with Liz Carroll, the best fiddle player on the planet, but he does rythm and basslines simultaneously, without his hands bursting into flames.

That makes sense.For some reason I always have this image(back in the era of all those legends in the making,like Rick Wakeman and the rest),that they just had more musical education in general.
