Brilliant move.... LouieB

I went to the Covers Project to check out who else sang this and got this list of songs with this name and who covered Leon. Great song and well worth covering. LouieB The Leon Russell song "A Song for You" was covered by Carpenters The Leon Russell song "A Song for You" was covered by Dusty Springfield The Gram Parsons song "A Song for You" was covered by Continental Drifters The Carpenters song "A Song for You" was covered by The Temptations The Gram Parsons song "A Song for You" was covered by Hazeldine The Gram Parsons song "A Song for You" was covered by Whiskeytown

There were portapottys around the corner, classroom buildings nearby, some restaurants and many other facilities. Best place I have ever hung out. LouieB

I forgot this one...not exactly on target...good one though....(back when people really knew how to write songs...snarky comment...) A Song For You....Leon Russell. I've been so many places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme I've acted out my love in stages With ten thousand people watching But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you I know your image of me is what I hope to be I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see There's no one more important to me Darlin' can't you please see through me Cause we're alone now and I'm singin

I heard a remaster of some Beatles song on XRT (sorry i can't remember the name, not because I don't know the song, but because it is early and I just can't recall (senior moment)) and I was frankly shocked. I understand that when they do this they clean stuff up and separate it and all, but it really didn't sound like the song I remembered. After all I heard most of these songs on AM radio (for years) and on old LPs (for more years) and on FM radio (for even mnore years) etc. I am not really sure this is an improvement. It sounds like the Beatles playing in 2009 not in 1964. LouieB

I know what you are saying, but if you want the original albums then you should get those (and they do give the album order so you can program your CD player if you wish.). It actually makes far more sense to put them in order of the sessions for a box set like this. Most of these LPs were put out either as chunks of the original sessions and then the remainders of the sessions afterwards, so that the LPs would have odds and ends from various sessions, which also doesn't really make sense. Considering they are stuffing 70 minutes of music on each disk and an original LP had maybe 35 to 40

Damn, I have a vinyl copy of Josephine with a download that I have not yet listened to and I can't find it my stack of not yet listened to LPs. Do you think I have too many? Gotta look again, this is stupid. LouieB

ACTUALLY this is BBop's plastic soda thingee. Of course people never look like what you think they should. I don't even look like what I think I look like....(as in I am much older than I want to be....) I was hoping to look more like Leo. I gotta get some new specs.... LouieB

That's insane.....don't EVER pay 45 bucks for any album. Someday you will find it for far less. LouieB

There is a two LP set of Prestige Material from 1949-50, which is also really good, documenting the change from bop to hard bop. When you realize how much these guys played together, they must have been able read each others minds after awhile. LouieB

Also a great one... LouieB

All kinds of folks are putting music to this old material. In fact the Guthrie Family itself is touring with this type of material as part of its act. LouieB

One of the all time greats... LouieB

I received Fearless Leader and Interplay yesterday. I started listening Fearless, which seems to be the best of the lot. If people don't have the last peice of the puzzle, the Miles Davis material with Coltrane, that is the next thing to get I think. Although I have some of these albums on vinyl or CD, some of them are completely new to me. LouieB

A show with less looping would be well received. Three nights at 4th Pres should be a good time. LouieB

yes...we talked about this quite extensively in the After the Show threads about these shows, which seems logical. Check out that convo. (did I talk to YOU about Lounge Ax (correct spelling) at the end of the second night??) LouieB

Millions....and millions. It was the largest selling album of the day and was only moved off that by Thriller, which was at the beginning of the CD era. Tapestry was owned by everyone I knew in the early 70s. LouieB

I agree!!!On this album actually the vocals are not nearly as buried as they are on other albums and they actually work as integral parts of the musical peices rather than being space fillers for vocals. I know Tim says he works very hard on the lyrics, but they are so buried in some of the mixes on earlier albums that they get totally lost; and sometimes the vocals are distorted intentionally. (this is true on the RRM albums as well.) LouieB

I know this, but then I have to do the actual download, replace my iPod, etc. For some albums it is simply easier to just buy the CD (since I wait to find alot of stuff used anyway). LouieB

yea...turn up the speed... LouieB

No, I like the all instrumentals, I am just sayin.... Despite the quotes from MChristine, the vocals are somewhat inconsiquential. They are hard to understand and add to the musical mix, rather than stand out in the way lyrics do in traditional songwriting. When you get into this band, both Deceleration albums are excellent; and instrumental. LouieB

Yes please do. Save us from ourselves and from Lance as well... LouieB

Working at home and completing my decent into old age... LouieB

...and we were just talking about Tin Machine too.. I had no idea he was still alive. Also watched him on the old TV. LouieB

I half agree with this. I buy old LPs all the time that sound great (sometimes they are better sounding than the newer ones..), but I think the death of CDs is greatly exagerated. I see lots of positives that have come from CDs and I think more people will continue to buy CDs than LPs. And yes, people love LPs in a way they don't love CDs, I know I do too. (Case in point, the other night at the Califone show LPs seemed to outselling CDs, but then again you can slip a CD in your pocket or purse and you can't do this so easily with LPs...) I really have no feeling about digital files becaus
