Doug could have at least waited until Yadkin came back to leave. Now we have this awkward gap.

That's IF Yadkin returns. I hope he does, of course. But he might have had enough. :yaddy:

I did. As an SF Bay Area guy who lived there in the '60's and '70's, a lot of those bands came through. Went to see them in SF in the early '80's.
I liked Frampton better before he 'came alive'.

The small Faces. Rod Stewart was also in that band. Which IMO was better than the later stuff he did except for maybe Maggie May.

They were all little guys, hence the name. I think Rod Stewart was the tallest at 5-10 or so. All the others were 5-8 or much less.
No 6-2 pissed off veterans in that group.

That's about as accurate as Jeff Spicoli's assessment of his dad's TV repairman tools being adequate to totally rebuild the Z-28 that was just totaled.

Now, your stamp collection or butterfly collection, yeah. But classic rock? I am betting no.

How much you wanna bet? I have EVERYTHING on vinyl. Over 700 in my collection

[GTOguy]

I have several thousand audio CD’s.

I have hundreds of 78's, 45's, 33's, cassettes, CD's, etc.

Nowadays I simply stream most of what I want to hear. It's easier than digging up some fossil.

Although lately, I've had the hankering to hear my 1935 recording of At The Fat Man's.

[GTOguy]

How much you wanna bet? I have EVERYTHING on vinyl. Over 700 in my collection

700? I probably have 2500-3000 LP's.

I bet you never saw Jimi Hendrix live? And i could put many more you never saw that i've see.

OK. How many here know that Black Magic Woman (made famous by Santana) was actually written by Peter Green while he was in Fleetwood Mac?

[LATB]

I had about that many. Sold the whole lot to a collector 35 years ago because I didn’t want to carry them with me to Florida.
Some are now worth big money.

[KenHorse]

700? I probably have 2500-3000 LP's.

He also wrote Green Manalishi done by Judas Priest



How many of you saw Peter Green live when he played with Fleetwood Mac, I did.

[LATB]

I had Hendrix Electric Ladyland with the dozens of topless women on the cover. And I had both US and imported versions.

[KenHorse]

I didn't mention my CDs :D

Short diversion. During the 80's, a good friend of mine owned a mobile recording studio and was very much "up" on state of the art audio at that time. We used to do Winter CES as Vegas every year and he turned me onto CDs before many people ever heard of them. Somewhere in my collection, I have one that has absolutely no limiting on it whatsoever and it will make any consumer quality sound system buckle and cry like a pierced Leftist when Trump won in 2016.

So... most of my 80's (and later) rock stuff is on CD

[LATB]

And acting like a homosexual.

[Anjdog2003]

How many here know Jimi Hendrix was kicked out of the army for masturbating while on duty, among other things.







Before Hendrix was 19 years old, law authorities had twice caught him riding in stolen cars. Given a choice between prison or joining the Army, he chose the latter and enlisted on May 31, 1961. After completing eight weeks of basic training at Fort Ord, California, he was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division and stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.[ He arrived on November 8, and soon afterward he wrote to his father: "There's nothing but physical training and harassment here for two weeks, then when you go to jump school ... you get hell. They work you to death, fussing and fighting.




Hendrix completed his paratrooper training and, on January 11, 1962, Major General Charles W. G. Rich awarded him the prestigious Screaming Eagles patch. By February, his personal conduct had begun to draw criticism from his superiors. They labeled him an unqualified marksman and often caught him napping while on duty and failing to report for bed checks. On May 24, Hendrix's platoon sergeant, James C. Spears, filed a report in which he stated: "He has no interest whatsoever in the Army ... It is my opinion that Private Hendrix will never come up to the standards required of a soldier. I feel that the military service will benefit if he is discharged as soon as possible. On June 29, 1962, Hendrix was granted a general discharge under honorable conditions. Hendrix later spoke of his dislike of the army and that he had received a medical discharge after breaking his ankle during his 26th parachute jumping but no Army records have been produced that indicate that he received or was discharged for any injuries.

[Louie Detroit]

How many of these people can you name?

[GTOguy]

I bet you never saw Jimi Hendrix live? And i could put many more you never saw that i've see.

My SO saw Hendrix live in NY. She's 5 years my senior. Her older brother was at Woodstock.

I was dragged along to the Summer of Love in San Francisco in 1967 as a kid, and dragged to many Peace marches in SF and Berkeley from 1967-71.
Saw many bands of that era---Grateful Dead, Crosby Stills & Nash, Neil Young, Santana, ]efferson Airplane, etc.

As an adult, I'm glad to have seen John Lee Hooker, Lionel Hampton, Tony Joe White, Paul Butterfield, JJ Cale, John Fogarty, Carlos Santana, Grateful Dead, Eric Clapton, The Kinks, AC/DC with Bon Scott, etc. etc.

[GTOguy]

And acting like a homosexual.

Well, thank goodness he wasn't acting AS a homosexual. :seasix:

Miner Birds. A Motown band. Early 1960’s.

As I remember, Steve Winwood from Traffic?

Nope, George Harrison and when he declined they asked Eric Clapton to join them. Can you imagine what they would have sounded like? Kind of like a early Traveling Wilburys.

[KenHorse]

Nope, George Harrison and when he declined they asked Eric Clapton to join them. Can you imagine what they would have sounded like? Kind of like a early Traveling Wilburys.

As I heard it, they needed more than the 3 of them for their live shows (Stills pretty much played many guitar parts in the studio) so Winwood was recruited to help with those. This was pre-Young. And they weren't enamored with Young due to his reputation of being too self-centered and unreliable in showing up for work..

I can't see either Harrison nor Clapton as a good fit for them at that time. Guess things work out the way they need to, eh?

[KenHorse]

By the way, a highlight in my life was meeting George Harrison when I lived on Maui.

Nice guy overall but short :lol:

I watch POR's videos all the time. Good insight behind the scenes

[KenHorse]

Another interesting George Harrison fact. When I was doing work for him on his estate in Maui, I was under the house installing a wireless telephone system as he lived out in a place called Nahiku (on the way to Hana) and there was no phone service. Actually he was more concerned about being able to send and receive faxes more than using the phone for voice.

Anyway, there was quite a bit of headroom under the main house and he was very curious as to how I was installing the equipment so he essentially looked over my shoulder as I did some of the needed wiring.

I was somewhat surprised he was interested in those kind of details but there you are.....

[Lipstic]

How much you wanna bet? I have EVERYTHING on vinyl. Over 700 in my collection

I'm impressed and envious.

An interesting Joe Walsh fact

He's an active ham radio operator!

Jimi Hendrix tried top get Steve Winwood to take over his band and go into any direction he wanted too. He was in awe of Steve Winwood. Mitch Mitchell said he was so intimidated by Steve Winwood that he was afraid to call him. Mitchell didn't understand Jimi because Winwood was so easy going. Mitch Mitchell said he never called him. Saw that on you tube years ago.

You've Got A Friend - James Taylor

And her own album Tapestry is considered one of the best albums of all time.

She is quite the powerhouse!
