    I’ve played the Sonic Journals CD once through and will revisit it. On first hearing the guitar playing is very good ,the vocals are mainly good although they occasionally drop down in level on the recording. The between song stories/introductions are inaudible through my speakers, presumably he didn’t talk close enough to the microphone. I’ll have to listen on headphones to see if they can be heard. I enjoyed the shows but it’s probably the least essential of the Sonic Journal releases IMO.

    A couple days ago spun their 2000 release "The Amazing California Health and Happiness Road Show" and it really really hit the spot.

    Love their sound - instrumental psychedelic surf, long jam style.

    Canterbury etc

    Gong, and then Steve Hillage were the Canterbury linked bands that meant most to me. Possibly because I saw Gong live in early 1974. To this day, the trippiest event I have ever witnessed without actually tripping myself. You didn't need to with Gong - it was all in the music and presentation. I hadn't taken anything at that time, but it was immediately obvious that they were emanating from a different dimension. A real sign post to otherness. Of their albums, the highlights for me are "Camembert Electrique" and "You" - but anything with Daevid Allen on really.
    Steve Hillage's solo albums from the 70's are also great. My favourite of his is one called "L".

    I also remember " The Snow Goose", which I thought of as being more in a Pink Floyd circa "Meddle" type vein.
    As for "Future Games" by Spirit - yes, I agree 100% !

    Speaking of 1973, anyone review John Hammond's You're Doin' Fine from Bears Sonic Journals? I recall listening to John's country blues way way back in the early 70s... thrilled to hear and meet him at the North Atlantic Blues Festival in Rockland Maine a few years ago.

    Forgot to say - re-listening to Friend Of The Devils at the moment!
    Dicks 2 was great!
    Also I still think that the best album to get stoned to is Future Games by Spirit

Hey All, Been milling around in the Red Clay and Straight Life recordings. These are Freddie Hubbard's Masterpieces. The musician line up on these sessions are excellent. Highly recmmended and a fine way to take a break from the Dead...

12/6/73. Kind of a meandering one, that doesn't necessarily get to the point until the 37-minute mark. I think it's good to not have much of an agenda sometimes. Eyes of the world kicks in and is smokin' good. Killer Here Comes Sunshine. Why do so many great shows come out of Cleveland?
