can't get enough of that funky stuff -

 

[Stealth57]

In the late 1970’s I was working in a liquor store while in high school and college. Got great discounts on everything in the store, so when it came time to buy beer for a party it was mostly Heineken and Becks. Everyone else was bringing Coors and Bud with an occasional splurge on Schlitz. The rot gut beer we sold at the time was Buffalo Beer and only came in bottles in a 24 pack box, horrid stuff, half the price of Coors.

My best friend’s brother was manager of Laurel Liquors in Oakland at that time. We would run inventory between stores and our payment was 1 hour in the cold box to drink whatever we wanted. Still have some of those bottles.

stand up guy….class act…sounded like he really misses Chick Corea…
the piccolo was plugged to the Roland Jazz Chorus and mic’ed….really wish he would have played it…

Same. That makes me feel better in that I'm not alone. Progressing is entirely subjective. Now you're in bad company.

Talk about a good name for a band....

"Progressing Is Entirely Subjective"? Nah, too long.

I can take the heat, but I loved Strohs--in the 70s and early 80s. Can't say about anything later than that. First beer I ever had. It was love at first taste. I also loved Heineken before if was cool to drink designer beer. It was for special occasions. Pricey stuff back then.

Many of the beers that once were regional favorites were bought up by conglomerates-and ruined.

One of Jeff Becks closest stylists - Terje Rypdal - "the Jimi Hendrix of Norway"

I’ve played one of the Alembic Stanley Clarke model basses (and an Alembic brown bass). If I could afford to purchase any newly made bass on the market it would most likely be one of these.

And another new song. A drummer and a singer and a lead guitarist guesting, rest by me (or that O'Man man...).

Well, that's different! Well done.

anyone hear this guy?…

Love Rypdal! "Waves" especially and "Rypdal/Vitous/DeJohnette".
The bassist on his many seventies albums Sveinung Hovensjo used a lot of Fender Bass VI and a monster fuzz sounds too.
Rypdal was also an early user of Roland Synth guitar.

Thank you!

I’m glad you posted that. I have a gig coming up with both my bands and People get Ready would probably sound really good with Em singing.

Forgot about this version -

...an occasional splurge on Schlitz.

I never thought these words would go together.

 

[dagrev]

That was a great kick-ass band! If I was recommending one JB song to someone who was unaware of him - this is it.

I agree. Can't go wrong there.

yeah, played this one when last in Paris….they wanted 29000 Euros for it!
nice instrument but even at 2900, not for me….
