Must not forget RUSH. Three men on a stage have never produced so much tight, power packed, live rock and roll.

I also had that sudden urge two weeks ago and ordered Miles Davis' Bitches Brew as well as Big Fun. I used to have the LP's (Big Fun is a real rare on). Absolute timeless music. Simply the best!

Albente, ever heard of the extended Bitches Brew session tapes? There was a lot more than they put onto that album that became available. What a strange and fascinating kind of music. I don't know why 'acid jazz' came to be what it is, but Davis' stuff is the true Acid Jazz.

Never heard of the extended Bitches Brew until I received Big Fun today (!) and noticed that there were additional tracks on the disc. Only then I started reading the text on the cover where they mentioned those extended tracks, simply by throwing them on Big Fun.

I always liked Big Fun since it is such absurd music. It was a neglected album when released in 1974 and now I know why they added those tracks on from Bitches Brew - the same pattern! This is not music for the average consumer!

The extended Bitches Brew is more than just a few extra tracks. Hours and hours of more tracks is more like it. All of it the same kind of mind blowing, hallucinatory jazz. They cut it way down for the album which was a big comeback for Miles Davis. A smash hit in the only decade when stuff like that could have ever been a hit: the 60s.

Frank Zappa recorded Hot Rats in 1969. Great recording, too!

Anybody ever heard of Dr. John The Night Tripper? Bayou voodoo psychedelia.

re: shaggs. just threw it in to see if anyone was paying attention. The kind of stuff for those with a John Waters-like taste for the truly tasteless.
You know, the people who collect junk shop art like women's shoes covered with gold spray painted macaroni and John Wayne Gacy clown paintings, etc...

Meh, not for me.

To my ear, the only lasting, timeless sound to come out of the '70s was ... Bob Marley.

Except for some of Jimi Hendrix, all that "classic" rock just sounds like showy, preachy guitar wanking to me - maybe you had to be there.

But of course it's easier for me to let go of the music of my youth ... I grew up in the '80s :-D

Well, I grew up in the 60s. I'm downloading Dylan music for my son. Have any of you younger folks ever checked out what Bob Dylan did? Its in a category of its own and still moves me after all these years. Check out Tombstone Blues and Desolation Row.

Who would have thought that a harmonica could be so profound.

by **PenultimateManStanding** » Wed 20 Jul 2005, 03:15:07

cool lyrics, too:

While one who sings with his tongue on fire
Gargles in the rat race choir
Bent out of shape from society's pliers
Cares not to come up any higher
But rather get you down in the hole
That he's in.

I started the music lyrics posting thing many months ago with Dylan's Ballad Of Hollis Brown, the ultimate scary Peak Oil lyrics:

Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
With his wife and five children
And his cabin fallin' down

You looked for work and money
And you walked a rugged mile
You looked for work and money
And you walked a rugged mile
Your children are so hungry
That they don't know how to smile

Your baby's eyes look crazy
They're a-tuggin' at your sleeve
Your baby's eyes look crazy
They're a-tuggin' at your sleeve
You walk the floor and wonder why
With every breath you breathe

The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
The rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
If there's anyone that knows
Is there anyone that cares?

You prayed to the Lord above
Oh please send you a friend
You prayed to the Lord above
Oh please send you a friend
Your empty pockets tell yuh
That you ain't a-got no friend

Your babies are crying louder
It's pounding on your brain
Your babies are crying louder now
It's pounding on your brain
Your wife's screams are stabbin' you
Like the dirty drivin' rain

Your grass it is turning black
There's no water in your well
Your grass is turning black
There's no water in your well
You spent your last lone dollar
On seven shotgun shells

Way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
Way out in the wilderness
A cold coyote calls
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That's hangin' on the wall

Your brain is a-bleedin'
And your legs can't seem to stand
Your brain is a-bleedin'
And your legs can't seem to stand
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That you're holdin' in your hand

There's seven breezes a-blowin'
All around the cabin door
There's seven breezes a-blowin'
All around the cabin door
Seven shots ring out
Like the ocean's pounding roar

There's seven people dead
On a South Dakota farm
There's seven people dead
On a South Dakota farm
Somewhere in the distance
There's seven new people born
