Well said...I always like your musical opining.

I had forgotten all about Cactus....wow...I can still remember that orangish colored album that was live I think.

Yes Blow by Blow beats Wired by a mile.

Tommy Bolin was sure fun to listen to. I think the first time I noticed him might have been on James Gang Bang. Too bad....another one bit the dust.

I think Hendrix sort of upstaged everybody...his playing and his presence (when he was on).

I have always thought of Beck as perhaps the most versatile,effortless and cleanest of the big early Brit axemen....aside from a few live appearances with pals on TV...the last I've seen of him was that vid with Rod....which had a few sweet Beck riffs...just a little taste.

Floyd is one of the few artrock bands I ever liked and mainly because of Gilmour and his understated playing and at times empathetic voice.

I will always been partial to blues based rock although as I've said I have a fondness as well for that Olde English balladeer sound to be found on LZ III, IV, and HOTH....but that's just me.

I loved the Moody Blues as well but I confess it was drug induced at the time. Days of Future Passed sounds a bit different now..lol....you remember that really catchy little riff that jumps out a few times on "Ride my See-Saw"(?)...one of rocks best little hidden guitar bursts ever and it only lasts a few seconds...funny...the original Moody Blues album....they looked like the Dave Clark Five and sounded way different...and then bam!!...they turned on literally.

Regards.

wardaddy you really know music. I have to say I don't really remember that riff on "ride my see-saw" though I had the album way back when. Now that you peaked my curiosity I'll have to go out and buy the album again. Regrettably, my original collection of 200 some odd LPs was completely destroyed by my younger brothers when I was off to college. It still angers me to this day. They put my valuable collection of records on some rickety dull needle player of theirs and re-grooved my records to pieces. Aghhh!

Yeah, what was it about the Moody Blues and Grass? Their often-heavenly sounding vocals seemed to feed into that.
