Let's get real people.
The Twats playing crap were ...
The Association
The Monkies
Gary and the Pacemakers
The Hollies
and all those other twatty, saccharine groups that I don't even like to think about and have tried to suppress all these years.
Oh and Bobby Goldsboro, or whatever that twat's name was.

LOL!
Well, to each his own. I've always enjoyed classical and orchestral music, and YES mixed the rock with that genre very well.
But imo, the Entertainment Returned on Energy Invested (ERoEI) was worth the trip!

The members of Yes are incredibly good musicians. In fact, they are too damn good for most people. It's like they're speaking German to a bunch of English grade school children; the kids just can't hear or understand what's being said. I love their rendition of the third movement from Brahms 4th symphony along with their other more "popular" music.

I listened to YES in high school. A few years later I gave up on popular music and listened to only classical for many years (my favorite being Bach). I don't know, YES started to annoy me and I wanted the real thing. But for a while I liked them quite a bit. Nowadays its JAZZ all the way. (not the new stuff, the really good stuff from before the rock'n'roll era.)

Must have been twenty years without listening to the Beatles. When my son was 8 years old he came home from school and told me about a song his teacher played: The Continuing Story Of Bungalo Bill from the Beatle's White Album. He liked it. I didn't have a computer at that time (8 years ago). So we went to The Wherehouse and got one of the early Beatle albums on tape. They loved it and I rediscovered them with the assistance of my kids' enthusiasm. I was 10 years old when they came on the scene. Anybody who was around in those days can remember what an amazing thing Beatlemania was. They captured damn near everybody's imagination for about 6 years.

For some strange reason, I think there are at least 5 San Diego posters in the forum now, and there were at least two others who used to post. Any other town anywhere that has 7 present and former posters here?

Does Jimmy Paige care about Peak Oil
I dare say he would say yes mate, yes I do, damn thing this Peak Oil problem you say. Yes yes quite,... something must be done about it, hey man don't let that mic get on the Gucci faux jean jacket. ( then he would step into his limo and off he would go). Then he would ask his manger. Ralphi dear chap, what is Peak Oil. And can we make any money on it.
When a competitor to apples download service started a month or so ago.
AS A SPECIAL TREAT FOR THOSE HIP WALL STREET TRADERS,... STOP YOUR WORK AND WELCOME 'BIXLOAD" THE NEW INTERNET DOWNLOAD SERVICE."
"The guys up on the pupit area, where they ring the bell etc, for the new 'service and other quests and new companies all doned their cool shades.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TO KICK OFF OUR NEW SERVICE.
JIMMY PAIGE
jimmy walks out and starts to play something. He doesn't appear to be into into it couldn't play worth a shit. took me a good thirty seconds to figure out he was trying to play "whole lotta love" he sucked bad.
Didn't matter to the "suit" in their hip shades some in white shirts and tie with glasses, some in full business shot regalia. All hopelessly trying to look cool with arms folded across chests. Bobbing heads with a "we're tough mo fucker snears on their faces" all in a different beat, and poor Jimmy fucked up and sounding like pure qualified shit.
It was so fucking sad.
I say them in Memphis in 1969. The one and only time they played that town. Un-fucking believable and they were at the top of their chops. I will never ever, fucking ever, forget the drum solo, with sticks and bare hands. Paige by himself for thirty minutes. all did great. They had to stop the concert three time because people were standing and dancing of the chairs and holding the bics up in the air. MAN the hippies were rocking, and THE MAN came down hard. They stopped and said he guys please they have a gun to the head of our manager and if you don't stop the bics and/or standing up we will have to quit.
NO ONE fucking did of course. Sat for 3 minutes and then
ROCK AND ROLL PARTY ON>>>>>
Zeps experience with the police here was so bad they refused to ever play the town again, and they didn't. Then someone shot Martin Luther in the town and that is when things did start to change little by little.
In 1971 I saw a brand new band out o texas. Three guys that could rock you till you dropped. Opening act for The Allman Bros. Dickey died not long after.
Billy Gibbons stroled on to stage I kid you not, a tall skinny kid wearing pink fucking leotards with a black womens dancing suit (like a one piece swim suit) over the top of those pink leotards. He then began to play and the crowd "there" for the Bros was totally blown away. Everyone peaked and was exhausted after two hours of the best lil band out of texas.
bros took the stage, could not get a rise out of the audience. Played fours songs. Looked out and said. Hey listen, no one seems to interested we are going to play one more song and if no one wants to party we're gone. And no one did, so they put down their instruments and left the stage. And I bet not 50 people out of 10000 gave a rats ass, tho I do love the bros I have seen them probably 10 tens live in the 70's Starting with the atlanta pop festival which gave them their big start.
Billy Gibbons has a special room in the Peabody hotel in Memphis. Overlooks Beale Street, and he says it gives him inspiration.
You no the song "LEGGS" by him "She got legs, and knows how to use them, she got legs"
He Wrote that while sipping in the lobby of the Peabody,. where the crossroads of the delta meet... and I've been there at 5 when the bond daddies (Memphis hast he second largest bond trading center outside Wall Street) come in for a drink and the ladies show looking for a sugar daddy.
Might have been one of them Dusty's wife caught him in bed with and took at shot at his privates. Rumor is she got a piece of it too.
ohhh yeeeeaaaaa.
