Yea, I was sorry I missed that one....sounded great. LouieB

I had a friend who had most of the early Liberty records and he wasn't with the group at that point (the jug band era) and then when they ended up on United Artists they became a bluegrass type band and he had moved on to the singersongwriter career. Okay here is a trivia back at you. Who recorded his first song or two?? (there may be more than one song or singer, but this one was his big break....)(Yikes I think there were two.....my memory is failing.) LouieB

No googling, but I think it was Jackson Browne.....(actually I think he was not in the group that recorded on Liberty way back when they were more of a jug band.) LouieB

Yea, but we still had fun I guess.... LouieB

I hope you do too....I downloaded this as well. Make sure you look for us.....I may be the oldest guy in the room (or not...) LouieB

Trust me it wasn't all that special. It was in the space where the Metro is now, which was at the time called Stages and run by Ed Hostein. They had canceled an earlier show (which a bunch of us showed up for and had to go home,) but we returned when they finally did show up a few months later. This was during a period of time when Bromberg was showing up to play with alot of his old pals (I saw him with some of the guys from the Eagles in a folk show too) because he was living in Chicago learning how to make violins. If you REALLY want to be envious let me whip out the whopper of all of

What's that thing the guy in your avatar has in his mouth??? LouieB

I heard that on the radio the other night and kinda dug it. LouieB

I got to see Danko and Helm play a show that almost no one attended where they played mandolin and other stuff (along with Dave Bromberg). I think they had a bit much to drink, but it was fun anyway. LouieB

I have one but too lazy to post.... LouieB

Gawd, nothing worse than a chick singer.... LouieB

Okay guys.....anyone going to this show please come introduce yourselves to us (LouieB, Tweedy's Gurl and renic or anyone else who makes the trip from the city) if you would, so that we won't be going.."hey, I didn't see you there since I don't know you" after the fact. Chances are we will all be hanging around afterwards to talk to Glenn anyway. LouieB

That's the one; sadly it is recorded in the usual lo-fi on the fly type of way much improvisational music is recorded, so Glenn gets a bit shorted. LouieB

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band was always one of my favorites too. Saw them a couple times. Great stuff. The Circle albums are good, but the original one was still the finest. I played the grooves out of that thing and it got me digging back into the original music and artists that were involved in the project. LouieB

Same with Neil Young. Hell who wouldn't want to play with the Band??? LouieB

Pickin on Wilco anyone?? (not necessarily recommended.) Jesus, etc. by Fred Lonberg-Holm Trio (I like this one...) LouieB

Do you have the Fred Lonberg-Holm Trio?? See you both there I guess. I need to get directions. LouieB

Why did Clapton have to be astonished? The point of the Last Waltz was a chance to get together (with a big time director and lots of talented folks) to play together. Why read any more into it than that?? LouieB

Yes....about the same time. Lowell George was just barely in the Mothers. A couple others (someone can sort out the names) were there for some time. LouieB

No thanks.... LouieB

I used to voice the same opinion here a few years back and got blasted for it regularly, but there is much truth in what you say. The names of bands and musicians who are influential change with the times as well. Folks who were barely even known are now revered as huge influences, while well known musicians of their day have been relegated to the dust bin of history. So it goes... By the way, Little Feat was a great band (prior to the death of Lowell George), but clearly not in the same category as The Band. LouieB

Wow, this is really great. Little Feat were if anything influenced by the Band as well. While there was overlap, The Band was around and influential releasing their first two albums prior to Little Feat even being a band. But be that as it may.... The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield were certainly influential bands, but neither had keyboards. Not sure what the sound was that we are arguing about here really. What it is difficult for a kid like BobsRevenge to understand is that a couple years back in the 60s was a huge amount of time really. It is easy to take the long view now, since

I think bobsrevenge is having some fun with us. Clearly no one could be that clueless.... LouieB

You still clearly have some growing up to do....I certainly haven't forgotten that Bob Dylan wrote it, but The Band owns it. Either way you if you are serious you need to put the Band into some sort of perspective. Even Wilco certainly owes something to The Band. And while the first two albums of the Band are masterpieces (a word that gets bandied about here alot), the rest of their catalogue isn't all that shabby including The Last Waltz. Listen to them back Dylan up on "Royal Albert Hall" as well as Planet Waves and After the Flood. They were not shoddy musicans by any stretch of the

Yea, something like that.....let's leave it at that I guess..... LouieB
