    RIP Dickey Betts

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    I know someone posted this under the Allman Bros thread but I think Dickey is worthy of his own thread.  He's my all time favorite guitarist.  Always in the shadow of Duane but I've always preferred  Dickey for his uniquely melodic style and sweet tone.  Also a terrific songwriter.  In Memory of Elizabeth Read, Blue Sky, Ramblin' Man, Jessica are all timeless classics. 

     

    Lots of musicians stepping up to pay tribute today, including a lovely one by Nels Cline.

    If you search 'Colour Me Pop 'in YouTube you can find quite a few performances from that 60s BBC programme

     

    This is one of my favourites (though I'm not particularly a Moody Blues fan)

     

     

     

    Great clip!  Not a huge fan of the Moody Blues either but they did have a few bangers including this and "I'm Just a Singer in a Rock and Roll Band".   And Jason King would have slotted right into this line-up!

    I thought it was an excellent gig. Jeff seemed really upbeat and the band were clicking perfectly. An absolute thrill hearing "Company In My Back" live. I do find it a little odd that Cousin material is being relegated to 3-4 songs a night, because hearing songs like "Levee" live really makes me want to hear "Sunlight Ends" and "Ten Dead" out in the open.

     

     

    Really looking forward to seeing them in Sydney tomorrow and Friday night.  A a bit surprised they're not playing more from Cousin,  particularly Meant to Be or Soldier Child which are both bangers that would sound great live I think.

    Would've loved to see the Beths & Liam Finn. I've seen them twice & they were great both times. Liam Finn is interesting too.

     

    Looking forward to it.  I've also seen The Beths twice before and loved them - might just be my favorite band right now!  Seen Liam live a few times and he always puts on a fun and energetic show - particularly when he's doing his solo thing (which I assume he will be this time).

     

    I don't see a lot of love for QOTSA on this board but jeez what a terrific live band.  Josh Homme is a force of nature and has charisma in spades.

    Live! Tonight!!

    Wilco - Cousin - New Album

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    A lot of the reviews are saying this is the first time the band has worked with an outside producer since Sky Blue Sky.  I assume the reviewers are recycling some crappy press release because Wilco (the Album) was produced by Jim Scott.

    Thanks for the reminder, I've meant to listen to them but (like so many!) haven't quite gotten to. Where to begin?

     

     

    For me the band's third album Infinite Arms is their best - an absolute gem.  The first two albums Everything All the Time and Cease to Begin are also very good - but I think the quality dropped off after that.  Seen them live a couple of times and they are great.

    RIP. He was one of my guitar heroes for sure. Got to meet him once,  he was very cool.

     

    Yes he was a terrific guitar player.  Tore it up on stage during Dylan's early electric tours.

     

    Who would have thought Garth Hudson would end up the only survivor of the original Band?

    I know he fell out with other members of The Band following the breakup in the mid-70s - but undoubtedly one of the greatest songwriters of the rock era.  So many timeless classics including The Weight, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down etc.
