    Playing as I type. Not my favourite Jeff Beck album by a long way - but - sheesh the sound of that guitar!

    No wonder I like Jeff Beck's Blow By Blow and Wired so much.
    Max was in so many groups and sessions.
    Hummingbird and Mick Taylor's band for two examples.
    And add Jan Hammer and Narada Michael Walden to Wired and wow!
    The fusion era. Great stuff.
    Cheers
    Wait, what? Liner notes on Blow By Blow: George Martin produced and did the orchestral arrangements. He produced Wired too which was mixed at Caribou Studios Nederland, Colorado. I have friends who lived near there BITD. Beautiful place!

    Yeah, snowpack is the key…like money in the bank!

    Up here on the western slope so far so good. Not too much shoveling as it’s mostly been piling up up the street where it belongs lol.

    Howdy DMCVT: did you see the boys at Dartmouth in 78?
    If so, do you recall if Bob was playing a blonde Ibanez Musician series instead of his custom model he usually played?

    Great news for Demar!

    I have been listening to 11/19/72
    I love that show
    A good candidate for release, Dave.

    Seattle Times.com has a headline indicating "a slew of weather hazards" heading to Western Washington

    I went immediately to Slewfoot 6/27/69.
    A nice release candidate, Dave.

    6/14/69 also would make a good release, Dave.

    Dave? Dave?

    DAVE?

    He never listens to me.

    Behind on this thread, but noticed the depressing news and Jeff Beck left us.

    I've been listening to him since I was young and saw him twice.. One of the most gifted musicians I have ever had the opportunity to see live. One of the two times I saw him was with Clapton a bunch of years ago. I remember thinking to myself at the end of the night, Eric Who??? Great tone, skilled playing and so incredibly imaginative and creative balanced with the ability to bring it all home, tie things in a bow and leave you with a complete song/set/show that had unity and clarity throughout.

    Holy cow, sad news.

    So sorry for CA and hoping for the best in the days to come. Hang in there baby....

    Jeff Beck and California

    I was shocked and saddened by the news of Jeff Beck passing, of bacterial meningitis. Not the easiest thing to catch and it can kill in a few hours if left untreated. I only caught Jeff once, December 3, 1976 at the Jai-Alai Fronton. Tommy Bolin opened the show, his last show before he died of an overdose of cocaine and morphine. We drove down to Miami and got to the show ok, lots of traffic for early December and we wondered what was going on, never did figure out why there was so much traffic. As we got to the fronton, we consumed the shrooms and walked in. The stage was set against the back wall and we were all in front, just like a Jai-Alai game. The place was small, only holding about 6000 people and it was packed. Tommy had just released Private Eyes and was touring to promote that lp. The show started and Tommy and his band came on stage. The place went crazy as they tore into the title cut of his first lp, Teaser, the place was jumpin'. Then into People People, a slow tune and then a killer drum solo and Tommy came back out and showed us all how to play a guitar. His solo was loud, raunchy and delicious. So good. Then they broke into Wild Dogs and finished with Post Toastee which had an extended jam and a fantastic climax. And it was over, they left the stage to thunderous applause and never came back. Tommy Bolin would overdose that night after the show.
    Jeff Beck was on that night, I have no setlist for his show, but I remember that Wired has just came out and I was a big fan of that lp, also Beck, Bogart and Appice had been released previously and I loved that lp. I do remember that he did some oldies (Ain't superstious) comes to mind and most of Blow by Blow. He also did a great solo, man, could he play that thing. I had gravitated away from Jeff Beck by the 80's and don't play him much anymore, but today I will break out Truth, B,B and A and Blow by Blow as a tribute to one of the greats.
    To all you hippies in California, man, I feel for you all and I hope that you all get out of this deluge well and with little to no damage. This should fill Lake Mead up again, sad it had to all come in a week.

    Thanks Daverock, I’ll check the Goodman out. The film with James Stewart is The Glenn Miller Story (originally enough!) and is pretty darn good. There’s a good part of the film when the band, in England, keep playing even when the flying bomb’s (V1) engine cuts out which means it’s going to land somewhere pretty close!

    Jeff Beck. Sing Sing Sing.

    I was lucky enough to see Jeff Beck live 5 or 6 times from the mid 1990's to 2018. Incredible concerts - I never wanted them to end. Many great albums and live concerts out their to explore, too though. Some of my favourites include -

    Everything from 1965-1966 he cut with The Yardbirds. That includes the album known as "Roger The Engineer" all the A sides and B sides of the singles he cut with them and the Live at The BBC recordings. Whatever the style of song, whenever he took a solo he took it into the stratosphere. Great tone-well, great everything.

    Rock N' Roll Party honouring Les Paul - this is a live dvd from 2010, I think, and features Imelda May among other guests. One of the best rock n'roll gigs I have got on film.

    Emotion and Commotion, a studio album also from around 2010. Amazing that he could play such contrasting music to the above, in the same timespan, with so much fire and virtuosity. This also features Imelda May, singing "Lilac Wine", which goes into "Nessun Dorma." I highly recommend this if you haven't heard it - breathtaking.

    Frank - I don't know if it's the version you are referring to, but there is an amazing take of "Sing Sing Sing" on the Benny Goodman double cd "The Famous 1938 Carnegie Hall Jazz Concert." 12 minutes long, with Gene Krupa tearing it up on drums.
    I vaguely remember a film about Glenn Miller that was on telly when I was a child-starring James Stewart.

    Glenn Miller

    Vguy mentioned finding some old Glenn Miller records. This brings back many lovely memories. My father, who was in the RAF during the war loved Glenn Miller and the big jazz bands and passed that on to me. Two days before he died, I spent a lovely weekend with my dad doing household chores, chewing the cud and listening to a set of cds by Glenn Miller from his wartime broadcasts. That was a very special weekend for us both, made even more poignant by my father’s passing just a few days later.
    Just recently many TV programmes have picked up on another star of the era - Benny Goodman, and in particular the number Sing, Sing, Sing. It’s a long piece notable for one of the best, most prominent examples of jazz drumming I’ve heard by the late, great, Gene Krupa. Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

Your collection probably needs the Fleetwood Mac ‘Worlwide Live’ unofficial Box.
10 CD’s for $40.
8 Fleetwood Mac CD’s ranging from 1968 at the Carousel to 1990, along with a Stevie solo and a Lindsey solo.
Sounds pretty good. The only show that I already had was the 75 show. FM/pre-FM sources.
I figured that for $4/CD I should check it out.

Speaking of 69.. Banana box? Holy Cow 43 was good, 44 is up on deck. We live in the valley of riches, but of all the releases the last few years the 69 was the big surprise. I'll take a double dose of that any day.

I popped in the giants stadium 7/12, and it gets me every time. The whole first set like HIAB, loser, and TOS. the band was firing on all cylinders, especially Jerry and Brent with that tinkling keyboard is so sweet. Being there for most of the shows makes me bias. Just had to mention it. Back to dap 44. Great show.

Another one. Yikes! It's everywhere now.
And not a mask in sight.
Take it easy PF.
My local friend took a week. His wife like 10 days.
And they were just ready to get their bi-valent (Omicron+Corona).
I went and found the bi-valent (still scarce here) right after that.
Full effect around third week after booster, so about now for me.
But we are still doing masks in crowded stores since we have some COPD.
Best wishes and cheers

I purchased Dave's Picks 44, and it arrived as scheduled. The outer mailing box was punctured, and when I opened it, little pieces of plastic starting falling out. The CD case was broken. When I opened that, I discovered that CD3 was chipped and cracked. Today I listened to CD1 and discovered that it was defective. Tennessee Jed > Promised Land does not play. Anyone else have this problem? I have not listened to CD2 yet. I contacted customer service, and I learned that there were no replacement CDs available. Defective merchandise can be returned for a full refund. I am hoping that someone would be willing to email me digital copies of those songs that I am missing so that I can at least have the complete show. As I said, songs 1-7 on CD1 are fine. Songs 8>9 are defective. I haven't tried playing CD2, and CD3 is no good at all. Can somebody please help me out? Thank you!

In case you haven't sent a PM before: To send a PM, if you are logged in, on the upper right of the screen are your account options, cleck here, select messages and you can probably figure out how to send a PM from here. either that or fumble through customer service. They can probably pull something better than a refund off..??

Edit: Ooops.... Proudfoot beat me to this by a couple hours. I didn't see his response before I replied. Apparently, he and his dog have been eating mushroom chocolates all day and have developed super human powers as evident by their lightening fast and accurate response.

My dog Sarge, the brindle bull Mastiff had cancer, and was put down tonight. 14 years old. He was a loyal companion. "He's gone."

Condolences Carlo13.

I'm pretty certain that Sarge was very happy to have had you around with him for 14 special years. You took good care of him and now he has an opportunity to rest. You provided space in this world for him and that is a special love that was returned.

Stay strong and stay positive.

Carlo - Sorry to hear you had to put to sleep your beloved dog companion Sarge. Such a tough loss.

Putting down a faithful companion may be the hardest thing you'll ever do in this life. This from an animal person who put down his 20-yr-old cat earlier this year. The day-to-day intimate and often subconscious connection is nearly unbreakable. And yet... mercy requires courage and acceptance. This will be hard in the days ahead. I survived by focusing on the blessing and cosmic luck of the years together and the realization, which does not come easy, that "there's nothing you can hold for very long," thanks Robert Hunter.

You did good for fourteen years and your departed buddy would wish you peace. As do we.

Condolences Carlo. So sorry Sarge's glorious 14 year run with you had to end. How lucky you both have been! As hard as it is to put down our four-legged companions when the time comes, they count on us to do the right thing to the very end. My 12 year old brindle Mastiff mix Annie is recovering from knee surgery, and I know her day will come sooner than later. I'll shed tears, but know she's counting on me. It's sad that dogs' and cats' lives are so much shorter than ours, but they sure do pack a lot into their time with us. Onward

I have had pets (dogs & cats) since 1965. It occurred to me years ago, that when I sign up to take a new animal (I call them my children, as I have no human children), we are implicitly signing up for an unknown time period of joy, and also, some days of grief & sadness. To me, this is still a good deal, but it makes the heartbreak no less painful or intense. I don't ever want to live without the unconditional love of a cat or dog, so I go in knowing the deal. I believe my life is always better with the love of a quadruped.

So, to Carlo, VGUY and everyone else who has lost a "child" recently, you have my total empathy and sympathy.
Carlo, as long as you remember Sarge, he's never really totally gone.
My 2 are 13 (redhead) and 7 (tuxedo) so 1 may go soon or not, but one piece of advice that was given to me was: "always allow 6 months to grieve before getting a new one".
By the way, I have not always taken this advice, but it does make sense to me.
