THe death of music

[detox]

I really loved this back in the day. Satanism is/was a gimmick, a sales pitch that was interesting and different from main stream.

Here is a an album and band that I first heard on a holiday with some Yanks I had hooked up with in Spain in 1967. They played this album on a portable record player they had. The lyrics made perfect sense to me then!!!

I heard Nights in White satin from radio Luxembourg one night when I was 11-12 years old. Bought it the day after. My second LP :O) Still have it.
My first LP was Desolation Boulevard with The Sweet...

Had to put a new stereo together now we moved to the US. The old one didn't like the 60Hz.
Now I only have a record player. The sound is so much more involving, and I started to buy records again :O)

Back in the 60-70s I liked the hard rock, the harder the better. Now I think I have mellowed a bit and prefer stuff like this:

It's not over yet

[Flying Scotsman]

Well, I think I will take the Animals in their Beatles suits over a bunch of "old farts" in high heels and a ton of questionable makeup. Plus Eric Burdon can sing!!!

I hope this hasn't been posted already. They sure did dress appropriately for the occasion back then.

Today it became like summer in South Bay. Finally. Spent the day in Hermosa Beach. Once again got in touch of why I'm still in Cali 50 years later........

I love that tune! Man they sounded good at that show. My only question is 'who are the 129 idiots that gave that video a thumbs down?'

[properchopper]

Love this story!

Thanks

I can personally attest to this song's accurate depiction of events

In the early summer of 1974 the evening air high up in the hills where my double A-Frame Boathaus was located just off Mullholland was cool but not so cool that I had to put up the top. The house mouse wanted some more of her favorite spirits so I headed down to Gil Turners on the strip. Cruised down Pacific View Drive to Cahuenga and headed west on Sunset. Might as well stop at Tower Records first to see what’s new from the crew I hung with on a musical level. Linda, Jackson, J.D. & those new Eagle guys were my regulars. The Whiskey and the Rainbow were on the way as well so I knew this could be a long ride.
Pulled into what was at the time the world’s largest and hippest record store, parked the ‘69 and shut her down. Then I heard, actually not just heard but FELT something that pounded my ears. Being in the sound reproduction biz I knew that whatever Tower’s sound system was blasting, what came through the walls was just the bottom of the track with the mids and highs being absorbed by the walls. And it sounded like a full on FREIGHT TRAIN was cutting through the parking lot. I went inside and slowly realized that for the first time I was hearing and FEELING how TWO DRUMMERS propel a musical piece. I stood transfixed. Didn’t move, glued in place. Listened in fascination as Chuck Leavell’s piano solo taxied to the end of the runway, built up the rpm’s, then sprouted wings and soared. Then with goosebumps witnessed what could be one of the most beautiful guitar riffs ever by Dickie Betts. I just stood there in place. The clerk behind the register, who cued the cut looked at me and he knew. If I could only better explain what these moments were like – a total group mind in Hollywierd in the Seventies.
