The Doors..Hollywood Bowl 1968

Ray Manzarek will live forever!

And Jim Morrison never died.

This shows a great band in their groundbreaking prime..fucking impressive.

God bless you Ray..you held the keys to the doors of perception.. in more ways than one.

The Peter Green Story..”Man Of The World”

this is not short attention span theatre.

check it when you have the time, and the interest.. not before.

Amazing story about an incredible guitar player, musician, and beautiful human who went through such a personal hell..I hope his life now
is full of love and light .

And, as Carlos Santana said.. “with the right player’s around him..his wings will unfold and he will fly”

John Mayall..the Godfather of the Blues..(British Anyway).

ok..just a great little documentary about a fantastic Man and musician..John Mayall!

stoked to be able to see John in a funky little place in SLO in about 2 weeks in SLO..

what you see is just a little bit about what this man is all about.

and his current band (saw em’ 2 years ago in Ventura with Malcolm and Guy Ritter) is as good as any that come from before..trust me.

more after the concert.

Tiger Lillies..”Living Hell”.

ah, this takes me back to times not so long ago..

when Tiger Lillie’s opened for John Cale at UCLA.

at the end of their set, as I sat gob smacked, and slightly worried about what the boys had been exposed to, Jacob said in such a voice of amazement:

“that was wonderful”.

ditto.

Richie Havens..God Bless You

So sad to hear the news today about Richie Haven’s passing.

I was privileged to have interviewed and then spend some time with this truly wonderful human being..I was, am still so inspired by his intelligence, passion and humility.

And, his incredible musicianship and song writing!

Beautiful man.

Thank you Richie

Les Mc Cann/Eddie Harris..”Compared To What?”

http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=MzvlivbptXk&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DMzvlivbptXk

Click on the link to one of Thee most cookin’ jazz pieces ever..

Montreux 1969..and they are laying it down.

“the President he’s got his war,
folk’s don’t know just what it’s for,

nobody give’s us a rhyme or reason
have one doubt-they call it treason,

we’re all chicken feather’s without one nut!
God Dammit
Now!

trying to make it real-
compared to what?”

sound familiar?

B-52s – Rock Lobster live

I’ve been MIA here for too long. Thanks to the Dr. though, scheduled programming hasn’t missed a beat.

So I figured I’d jump back in with some early footage of a band known to most, playing with some hunger… like they got something to prove.

These are some strange cats that know how to boogie.

Boys in bikinis / Girls with surfboards!

And prescient.
