My band was all set up and waiting to play our gig at the Tam O' Shanter in Brookline in the early 90s and Aimee Mann and Peter Wolf sat down for dinner. Unfortunately they didn't stay for the show.
Last time I checked most of Wolf's post-Geils music was missing from streaming, which is a shame. I remember he was a founding DJ on WBCN (gone by the time I hit Boston), and Aimee was in the Boston band Young Snakes.
by1965 Jimmy Page had become one of England's top session guitarists and beginning to take on Production work for Immediate Records. he had been asked to Produce a session for John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers featuring his friend Eric Clapton, who was playing a Les Paul through one of Jim Marshall's brand-new amplifiers. the unique combination was perfect, big, muscular, alive with singing sustain. Page was determined to capture every nuance on tape. Eric was using feedback, letting the guitar howl and ring with controlled chaos to hold certain notes longer than normally possible, riding the edge between music and noise, coaxing out sounds that had never been recorded before. the shocked Engineer hadn't heard anything like it, this sounded like a technical malfunction, he kept pulling down the faders to 'fix' the problem, while killing Clapton's revolutionary guitar tone, until Jimmy had to physically stop him. "No, he's doing that on purpose, that's the sound." Page knew exactly what it was: the future, using the Les Paul and Marshall combination to generate something revolutionary. the tracks they recorded that day - I'm Your Witchdoctor and Telephone Blues - captured a sound that had never been properly documented before, this session represented the birth of the modern guitar sound. while Clapton did the playing, Page made it possible for his work to be captured properly on tape.
