What are you listening to (music!!!) right now? Embarrassing or not... share

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Love War Pigs! Great song..but when acoustic music still ruled.

A little Benny...

thread popped up, thought i'd share what was on the 'radio'....

"You're travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!"

So here is a tune I heard a lot back in the 70's.

Presented in a movie trailer, from an absurd and amusing film based on the song.

A young S Peckinpah directed, for the film buffs.

William Dale Fries, Jr. aka CW McCoy during the 70's CB craze.

Wife and I saw this guy in concert last night. I've been a pretty big fan for years since a neighbor copied a CD for me. I didn't realize it, but he was off tour for the last 5 years - he was pretty excited at the concert last night to be back.

Yes, his son was dealing with medical problems.

Listen....if you dare. A cover of Pink Floyd's "Great Gig in the Sky" by Yoko Ono.

IDK, the torched cat scream lady will probably convince me to leave my wife and give up homebrewing. Just sayin...

When the grandkids are around. Actually pretty well done song in general.

Adele "Chasing Pavements". Strange video, but a great song.

What the hell is that song about? Yes, odd vid.

Steve Stevens - "Small Arms Fire"

British song "Chasing Pavements" means walking...

Jacob Moon's version of Rush's "Lime Light"

Now, "Daisy Jane" by America. Listen to the metronome at the beginning! I never really cared for the group American before seeing in concert many, many years ago. By this time there were just a duo. D**m fine writers and group, IMO.

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

The Monkees. Yes, they were a group created in Hollywood by Don Kirshner to compete with the Beatles. Silly, slap stick TV shows. As some mistakenly claim they were NOT the 1960's version of Milli Vanilli. The Monkees had talent, but Don and the studio wanted no part of it.

Fast forward to their 20th Anniversary World Tour (in 1986) and they kicked butt! How do I know? I was there. Mike Nesmith (the Monkee wearing the green knit cap or our Canadian friend's call them "toque") wasn't present as he had inherited a large amount of money from his mother inventing "Wite-Out" (for those not old enough to know of what I write, Wite-Out was used to "fix" typewriting mistakes). The 3 Monkees present (Davy , Mickey, and Peter) played their own instruments. The place was rocking primarily due in part to MTV (when they still played music videos) introduced a new generation to the Monkees. There were people at the concert from the teens to their 60's all enjoying the Monkees.

Unfortunately, Peter Tork passed away on February 21, 2019. Peter, my friend, you are sadly missed. I will always remember your smile. Wherever you are currently residing I do hope you and Davy are "rocking the crowds" once again.

RIP Davy Jones February 29, 2012 and Peter Tork February 21, 2019.

Trivia. The singer that we know as David Bowie was born David Jones. He changed his name to Bowie so as to avoid confusion with, popular at the time, Davy Jones.

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

How about the Jacksons "Heartbreak Hotel" from 1980. Due to legal suit from Elvis' estate the song title was changed to "This Place Hotel". No matter, great song.

Lasted 5sec....

Probably around 4.5 seconds longer than most. Not sure if you deserve credit or scorn. LOL!!!

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

From 1977 the Jackson's "Show You The Way To Go".

 

[Anyhowe]

Frampton comes alive...

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

Yes, late 1970's. With the tube controlling his voice. "Do you feel like we do?" Remember the part when he says "I wanna f*** you"?

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

Great song from 1992 Michael Jackson "Remember The Time". Great video too. Damn, I'm getting old.

I'm a amature musician so have to hang in there longer then most I guess. A professional wouldn't have even listened in the first place I'm guessing!

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

Now, listening to the Verve "Bitter Sweet Symphony". How many realize this song is based on the Rolling Stones "The Last Time" song? Well, it is.

I see (hear it).

Easy one. Billy Joel "This Night" starting at the chores at 1min, is based on what major 18th/19th century composer?

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

SRV's Version....awesome of course

 

[BongoYodeler]

Speaking of the Stones....
A Bluegrass cover by The Brothers Comatose - Dead Flowers.

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

One of my fav Billy Joel songs "A Matter of Trust" from 1986 or the great redo of "Hey Girl" (The Freddie Scott original from 1955) from probably 1997.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Little family action. Dad behind the keyboards and step-mom singing. She really had a voice. Jazz was their thing starting 1978. Remember living on Maui when they'd practice for a gig in Lahaina. Even in 7th grade loved listening...

 

[Tobor_8thMan]

Nice. Seems there's always that one old woman dancing in the front of the stage.

OK, whom is the blonde in the red shirt? Jouza...

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Sorry..no clue. Added to the post since. Twain Harte is just full of old people now...[emoji53].
