Music from the mid 60's to late 70's (when creative genius reigned..)

I have always admired Paul's basslines ( I am far from alone). Rhythmic and inventive.
Back in the early 70's I got a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls with custom Hafler amps (1 for each speaker) and spent a lot of time listening to The Beatles.
Maybe it was the drugs.

Some of his best isolated basslines:

Paperback Writer bassline:

Hey Bulldog bassline:

Seen Ian Anderson play a few times, most memorable was at the Rock and Blues Custom Show '97.
All the power went off except his mic, his words were 'Can you believe they've forgotten to fill the fuckin generator' he then played in the dark until the power came back on.

This song always brings a little tear

This one just squeaks in...

New York City took me with the tide
And I nearly died from hospitality
Left me stranded, took away my pride
Just another no account fatality

DAYUM! @Morty ^^^^ that's a fucking jam ! I forgot about that song.


Steve Miller

Put the top down and go a long ride song.

 

[BD9]

Not just a favorite Queen song, but a favorite song all together.

Wish Freddie could have kept himself alive...

DAYUM! @Morty ^^^^ that's a fucking jam ! I forgot about that song.

It is. It's slick. Love the guitar, dig the harmonics. The 70's is filled w/ what seems like an endless array of hidden gems lol. I always love gettin' lit up like a Christmas tree to this one.

Oh, & speaking of Steve Miller, it always pisses me off when they cut off the beginning minute & a half guitar part of Big Jet Airliner on the radio. Bullshit!

Joe South. Brilliant lyricist and performer.

Games People Play

Made popular by Deep Purple, I like Joe's original version.

Hush

Another great but underrated band, Spirit. I had no idea Randy California was a member of Spirit. I've seen his videos doing Hendrix covers and was impressed. Randy died attempting to save his son from drowning. Tragic end to a great career.

Spirit - Mr.Skin

The most well known, and successful cover bands, Vanilla Fudge.

Featuring one the best rock drummers ever, Carmine Appice.

Vanilla Fudge - You Keep Me Hangin' On

I remember going to a theater-in-the-round to see Spirit and Moody Blues. Spirit was the opening act. In that venue, the stage slowly turned around so that everyone in the concert could get a front view of the bands. Dropped acid about 45 minutes before the concert (like I typically did before every concert I went to which was about 3 times a month) and I vividly remember asking my girlfriend if the stage was really turning around or if it was just me. hehe...

So maybe not a reign of creative genius, but these songs had a place in that era. Poppy and fun. Nice summer jams.

Hear that familiar sound in the Thunder Island guitar? It's Joe Walsh.

Jay Ferguson - Thunder Island 1978

Boz Scaggs - Lido Shuffle 1976

Sammy Johns - Chevy Van 1973

 

[lwien]

^^^^ Ah, Boz Scaggs. Here's one of my favorites of his. Boz does the blues......Soooo tasty.

and this with Duane Allman on guitar........circa 1969.
