I actually don't know anything about Moby Grape. My hazy understanding is that they were pretty heavy, like pre heavy metal heavy. Is that right?

Here's a blast from the past: Strawberry Alarm Clock. I have no idea what kind of music they played, either. I'm guessing not nursery rhymes. Then again, perhaps nursery rhymes and a lame psychedelic light show.

What's that you say, you have a hankering for Procol Harum?

Why, I have just the thing,

And you - you there in the back, yes, you, the one who's losing your mind - this is for you.

Are you listening?

. As Mike Vernon admits, when the new Bluesbreakers lineup pitched up at Decca Studios in October 1966 to record A Hard Road, he struggled to believe this 19-year-old nonentity could fill Clapton’s hallowed shoes. “I noticed an amplifier I had never seen before,” recalls the producer, “so I said to John, ‘Where’s Eric Clapton?’ Mayall says: ‘He’s not with us anymore, but don’t worry, we’ve got someone better’.

I would never argue that this may be his best, but it's a damn fine album,

Neil Young's 'On the Beach' at 50: His Bummed-Out Masterpiece Reigns Supreme

Grappling with heartbreak and exhausted with critics, Neil Young turned inward to create the most honest album of his career: 1974's 'On the Beach'

Train songs...Stephen Stills did one. I always loved trains and like this tune even though it wasn't one of his most popular

Train songs.

Gene went from writing Eight Miles High in the Byrds to Ridin' the Rails in Kansas City



She left 50 or 60 people still sittin' on their cars
Wonderin' what it's comin' to and how it got this far
And me I got a nickel smashed, flatter than a dime
By a mad dog runaway, red silver streamline train

 

[RoccoF14]

THE original train song. Many have covered it, but if you're gonna do train songs, you have to have the Man in Black.





Every time I hear Hey Porter, I still think of my grandmother clapping her hand and stomping her foot....

Since we're on the subject of the Wreck of the Old '97, lets do some Old 97s as well....

Homage to Bob Dylan. I always play this song when we're passing through Champaign, on our way down to Florida. Cracks my wife up, every time...

My first concert was S & G in Central Park. No joke, we were at least ten or fifteen blocks from the stage and there were still hundreds of thousands of people behind us.

Wow. 1980? 1982?

I know Simon was not pleased about the sound on several levels.

PS they still do Shakespeare in Central Park, I believe. Boston has been following that tradition over the last 10 to 15 years in the Common. I'm not certain what the show is this summer.

I've been to three, I believe.

Can't beat the Bard.
