A Rock ‘N Roll Original- Peter Gabriel

[acey68]

Since a lot of people have some extra time these days, how about discovering some music that you might have missed out on. This is one of my favorite albums of all time, and the best Genesis album ever (my opinion). Led by Peter Gabriel on vocals, this 1973 release is a prog rock masterpiece. Check out Selling England By The Pound by Genesis.

Fall River" BY DAVID RIVARD When I wake now it’s below ocherous, saw-ridged pine beams. Haze streaks all three windows. I look up at the dog-eared, glossy magazine photo I’ve taken with me for years. It gets tacked like a claim to some new wall in the next place— Bill Russell & Wilt Chamberlain, one on one the final game of the 1969 NBA championship, two hard men snapped elbowing & snatching at a basketball as if it were a moment one of them might stay inside forever. I was with my father the night that game played on a fuzzy color television, in a jammed Fall River bar. Seagram & beer chasers for hoarse ex-jocks, smoke rifting the air. A drunk called him “Tiger” and asked about the year he’d made all-state guard— point man, ball-hawk, pacer. Something he rarely spoke of, & almost always with a gruff mix of impatience and shyness. Each year, days painting suburban tract houses & fighting with contractors followed by night shifts at the fire station followed by his kids swarming at breakfast and my mother trying to stay out of his way, each of the many stone-hard moments between 1941 & 1969— they made up a city of granite mills by a slate & blue river. That town was my father’s life, & still is. If he felt cheated by it, by its fate for him, to bear that disappointment, he kept it secret. That night, when he stared deep into a drunk’s memory, he frowned. He said nothing. He twisted on the stool, and ordered this guy a beer. Whatever my father & I have in common is mostly silence. And anger that keeps twisting back on itself, though not before it ruins, often, even something simple as a walk in the dunes at a warm beach. But what we share too is a love so awkward that it explains, with unreasoning perfection, why we still can’t speak easily to each other, about the past or anything else, and why I wake this far from the place where I grew up, while the wall above me claims now nothing has changed & all is different.

Check this David Crosby clip from Jimmy Fallon 7/16/19 This cat might look frail, but his voice is as strong as ever!!! Brilliant version of "Long Time Gone" with The very tight, Roots backing him up. Hope he can get back together with Nash and Stills for 1 more tour.

Been on a Blue Oyster Cult kick lately, and this album has really intrigued me. Everyone listens to the hits, but this whole album is incredible!!!! How some of these songs aren't classic rock staples is beside me. Astronomy, Harvester of Eyes and Flaming Telepaths are incredibly works of musical art. The guitar work is mesmerizing and the lyrics are mystical, a very satisfying album, that you will listen to over and over. Give it a listen

A wonderful clip from The Rolling Thunder Revue Tour

[acey68]

This is a must see for all music fans!!!! A masterpiece documentary that uses old footage of the 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue tour by Bob Dylan and friends to craft a wonderful story of how it came about and how it went down. This will make you wish you could have been there, or if you were there, bring back wonderful memories. This shows Dylan at his very peak, voice is in top form and the face gestures he uses towards the crowds and the other musicians are spellbinding, it will give you chills. Scorsese uses interviews with the people who were there, to recall the experiences 40 years after the fact, including many stories by Mr. Dylan himself. This tour seemed to come about because of the love for these artist to just play music together, and have a good time. They played small theatres  and small towns to create that ambiance that you only get in intimate settings and you could feel the energy of the moment. Dylan seemed to be happy to be just another player and gave everyone a chance to shine, but it was obvious that he was the center point of the festivities. Was it a successful tour? It depends on how you judge success, if you want to make the most money possible, then it wasn’t a success, but if you measure success in the enjoyment of the crowd and having fun traveling around with your friends and playing music, it was a tremendous success. This tells the story of a more innocent time, when music was all that was important, and greed wasn’t what made tours a business. 

There were several of the dates on this tour very close to my home, but unfortunately I was only 7 at the time, oh how I wish I could have gone to see this tour, it seems like what I strive for in a musical adventure.
