Eminence Front - The Who - The song

Here you go E_R

Eminence Front - The Who - The Video

I finally found a downloadable mp3 of this great song...and while searching came across this video...great song.

Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant

When I was a teenager and was an avid listener of WNEW in NY, one of the all time greatest progressive rock stations in the world bar none...I would hear Alice's Restaurant on Thanksgiving morning at 11:00 am.. It was a tradition and I guess it is now played on rock stations nationwide as well on Thanksgiving. In any case...tonight's Kitchen Concert was this song in it's entirety, all 18 minutes, just enough time to get me through the dinner dishes.

Have a listen: and PEACE!

The Guess Who Greatest Hits - The Guess Who

I've been listening to a lot of pop music from the 60's lately. XM has a terrific station that's been keeping me singing along and smiling.

The Guess Who is one of those bands that I always loved, but never bought a 45 when I was a kid, but they were played so often (WABC IN New York) that of course, I like everyone else knew all the words and there was almost no need to buy the record.

This is a good compilation of their hits. Check out some of these samples..then download them into your MP3 player, I guarantee you'll sing along and remember where/who you were when these came out...

1. These Eyes Listen

2. Laughing Listen

3. Undun Listen

4. No Time Listen

5. American Woman Listen

6. No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature Listen

7. Hand Me Down World Listen

Christmas With The Rat Pack - Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin & Sammy Davis Jr.

This is what it's all about folks..nothing quite as good as The Rat pack singing all our Christmas Favorites....you can tell just by listening, what good time these guys had...I would have given anything to catch these guys in Vegas in the early 60's...

Honestly...this is a quintessential album for the holidays...have at it!

Listen

The Youngbloods - Elephant Mountain

Can't you just picture yourself in your tie dyed tshirt and patched jeans..wandering through a field of wildflowers with the one you love and hearing this song...well....I can... :-)

This song is Called Sunlight

Ahhh the sweet voice of Jesse Colin Young...ahhhhhhhhhhh




Also song of note: Darkenss, Darkness

The Beatles - White Album

I'm not sure there are adequate words for my true love for this record..If you can believe this little factoid though..it's original release ddate was Nov 22, 1968. Sounds just as fresh and innovative today as it did ALMOST 40 YEARS AGO.. I was 10 when this came out...how funny is that!!!!!!!!!!

If you read some of the reviews..it is not known as one of their best projects..the beginnings of the band breaking up..Yoko hanging around...blah blah, blah.....doesn't mean anything to me...I drove my best friend to college in Conneticut in the late summer of 1976 and we listened to the entire album (8 track...hahahahahaha)on the ride..it's too great in the memory department to be objective about it's content..plus I think the songs are just wonderful!!..all of them except Revolution#9 (purple microdot incident...nuff said)

I still love it!!!

ipod

I got an ipod for my birthday...and have been spending what little free time I have ...trying to figure it out...sorry I haven't had any kitchen concerts lately..

some of the songs I've uploaded though:

Joe Cocker - Delta Lady
ELP - Trilogy
The Clash - Magnificent Seven
Aerosmith - Walk This Way
Simon & Garfunkel - America, The Boxer, Scarborough Fair
Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes
Fiona Apple - Criminal
CSNY - Immigration Man

and many many more (72 so far)...give me suggestions for more...off the wall stuff...stuff we don't hear every day..I want your input!

Derek & The Dominos - Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs

OK, yes I was only 12 when this album hit the airwaves in 1970, but I was a cool kid and this is definitely one of my favorites of all times. How can you go wrong with Eric Clapton and Duane Allman, not to mention the other great musicians of Derek & The Dominos. I also have a soft spot for this as it was recorded here in South Florida at Atlantic South-Criteria Studios, Miami.

There are so many great songs on this record, I've chosen Bell Bottom Blues as my representative audio, but they are all good. I mean Layla...yes we've heard it a million times, but it's so great.

My dream was to own a denim jacket with this cover embroidered on the back...wonder if I can find one...hmmmmmmmm...

leelee concert note: Saw Eric Clapton in Miami at the Miami Arena in May of 1992. We had terrible seats (nose bleed), but the music was wonderful!
Enjoy!

Neil Young - Decade

Ok, in keeping with my compilations theme..yet another set titled Decade. This is a great sampling of some of Neil's most timeless and rockin' hits.

I've managed to put a playlist together of 3 long jammin' tunes. Set aside approx 24 minutes for this one...

Like A Hurricane
Down By The River
and
Cortez The killer, which has recently been covered by an Australian band called The Drones...they definitely do the song justice.

leelee concert note: Saw Neil Young at Madison Square Garden in Sept 1978..great show. The last performance of his I caught live was here in SoFla when he toured with CSN..he busted out with Rockin' In The Free World and jammed for like 20 minutes, it was by far the best part of the show. If you ever get the opportunity to see Neil live...do not hesitate....even if he is 85 years old...or even if YOU are 85!

Allman Brothers Band - A Decade of Hits 1969-1979

A quintessential compilation for sure. Saw the Allmans at the Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ in January 1981. We had great seats, although every seat there was wonderful because it was such a small venue (3200 seats) If you were on the floor...you were going to enjoy a great show. Other artists I saw there were:

The Kinks
Peter Gabriel
Todd Rundgren

Anyway...the rendition of the song I've included here..is actually from Live From The Fillmore, but thought you might enjoy a live version of this song..

In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed

Court and Spark

Joni Mitchell - Court and Spark

This is by far my favorite Joni album. I love to sing along with it. Perfect for a Sunday morning of puttering. Some of my favorite lines:

"Laughing and crying you know it's the same release" - People's Parties





"His eyes were the color of the sand and the sea and the more he talked to me, the more he reached me" - Court and Spark


Great album!

Working on my uploads..but isn't this a great tune? I heard it on the radio the other day and never really noticed the guitar riffs 1/2 way through..

ELO - Showdown

WOW....I will now have full audio on my blogs, thanks to HIPCAST. Now YOU too can listen to the songs I am writng about in the comfort of your home or office.

ENJOY!!

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

I love the machine age music on this Floyd classic. I saw this concert at Madison Square Garden and it was amazing.

Heart - Little Queen

These girls are the essence of rock and roll. I didn't buy this album until the late 90's, didn't own it when it came out. Let me say I'm glad I own it now. From the rockin' hard Barracuda to soft acoustics like Love Alive. This album is such a classic.
