Reply #1051 - 09/01/11 at 01:11:03 A compilation of some David Crosby-centric pieces collected under the name "Planet Earth Rock and Roll Orchestra" from 1970. Wonderful mellow stuff with Garcia, Lesh, Crosby, Kantner, Slick, Kaukonen, Kreutzman, Hart et al.

Sounds pretty mutha' truckin' good, takes me back to '83 when I was skinny and optimistic. Those days are long gone but the music stays the same.

Reply #1054 - 09/02/11 at 01:40:11 I remember those days in Austin when Stevie was the Prince of the town. Saw him play. He was very good. I think he loved Hendrix almost as much as I did! Right now

Was always more a Hendrix fan as far as guitar gods go though. No one has knocked Jimi off his pinnacle as far as I'm concerned.

My tastes anymore run from Ry Cooder to Chris Whitley and while I hate to keep beating this horse, James McMurtry. I've got to see James a couple of times in the last few years and he is, in my opinion, not only a great song writer but also a guitar god.

Reply #1060 - 09/03/11 at 15:12:54 I'll look into his stuff again sometime, he didn't do much for me when I did before, I recognize the talent. . . . I think for me there has to be a funkiness, a grittiness that I get out of the African-American "thang" that is missing in a lot of music. Right now, some Horace Silver Filthy McNasty!

The abstractness of it. . . that there's no real "hooks" of melody and that the structure varies. I can put it on and do a whole bunch of things. I can do this five times in five days and have five different listening experiences, I'll notice different things each time. This time I really got captured by some of Chuck Israel's bass playing.

I also enjoy listening to Friedman and noting both the similarities and differences between his playing, touch and approach to that of Bill Evans.

Rignt now
Best sounding version of this bootleg material I've yet heard

This is at least one of the things that 6 ERRs, 2 Toriis, and an SE84ZS were made for. Not that well-recorded, but I am amazed at the clarity and layers of detail, even at loud levels:
