I saw Starcastle open for Gary Wright in Platteville WI in 78 or so. Have the crowd left when Starcastle finished. I wish I had... Gary Strater's Alembic was the second one I saw in person (the first belonged to John Wallace with Harry Chapin). Strater dies of liver cancer in 2004. When I was at Iowa State I played with the brother of the drummer (Stephen Tassler, his brother Mike played trumpet). | ||

Hey Dave- No Other is likely the summit of the Gene Clark albums. This Mortal Coil did some interesting takes on a couple of the cuts. I also like his recordings with Carla Olson - not long before he died. +1 on the Kate Bush (the Dreaming or Hounds of Love) & Peter Gabriel (#1,2 & 3), BTW | ||

FMM, Gary Strater died? how did you find out? He was in a band that opened for my band whenever we played the Canopy Theater in Champaign, Ill. He had told me about his days w/Starcastle and we spoke about Alembics(and when the preamps were about $400.00 to replace in the '70's) and how much of a Ric head he was, as he told me he was a huge Chris Squire fan. At the time he was playing a custom 5 string w/Bartolini's (sounded great!)through a Mesa 400 Plus amp. This is nuts, because his band last opened for us around '04 and he looked so healthy I could not tell if anything was wrong. He was a really nice guy and a great player R.I.P. Gary. | ||

Difficult thread to give a definitive answer to. My current listening includes.. just about all of James Taylors output but particularly sweet baby james. All Kate Bush ;-) Alot of G.D. - predomenantly the pigpen era. Kate Rusby (you americans may not know her - Folk singer from yorkshire witht the voice of an Angel which brings me on to..) Allison Krauss Bonnie Raitt Soul circus - victor wooten The Beatles - red, white and Blue albums. Lots of Miles Jacos birthday concert The two recent Jaco Pastorius Big band albums. I also listen to a fair amount of classical music, current favourites being Vivaldis 4 seasons recorded by The English Concert featuring simon standage and trevor pinnock and Handels coronation anthems. i defy anyone not to get a lift when Zadoc the priest comes on;-) Loads more on these lists.

Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 692 Registered: 10-2002 |
Sam. Kind of Blue was in my list by default. What's more to the point is, what media do you all prefer? For speed and the ability to zap past tracks I like CD but for sheer listening pleasure I'd go with vinyl every time. I love the whole process of putting the LP on the turntable, cleaning it off, swinging the damping trough across(it's a townshend Rock TT) and carefully lowering the needle into position. Then relaxing onto my listening sofa with a nice cabernet sauvignon. To me, Vinyl will always be a better medium than CD! Can't be beat;-) Graeme | ||

By the way my list above is different than how it might look for the old game of choosing 10 albums if you were stranded on a desert island - an exceedingly difficult game for me. =) | ||

To be semantic, an Album could consist of more than one record/CD. Album - Dick's Picks Vol 1 - Grateful Dead One CD - Revolver - Beatles I once spent an entire night into late morning at a rock quarry with some friends after a Dead show (hence the ultra awakeness) and the only thing we had was a tape player, and Revolver. 12-15 hours straight we listened to it. Those songs have been burned in the neural net ever since | ||

My best friend in high school and I used to fill up his Camaro pop in that tape and try to get lost driving around. I remember it like it was yesterday, the low rumble dual exhaust, Tull's flute in the speakers and the occasional pop of a "seed"....or maybe that was the pop of a brain cell. Oh well, still listen to Tull every now and then and do get to drive my daughters 68 Camaro but gave up on the "other" years ago. | ||

La Mancha has a wonderful score. It's probably my favorite musical, and I hope I get the chance to play it some day. It's actually kind of difficult, which is rare for a theatre bass part. I start rehearsals tomorrow for "Singing in the Rain". I had one of my students sight-read parts of it tonight. It looks like the typical easy theatre bass part. Now, "Jesus Christ Superstar", _there_ was a great bass score. | ||

I played La Mancha 25 years ago for a university production, and while I don't remember much of the music I do remember much of the fun. Jesus Christ Superstar (the London version, not the ultra-square N.Y. version) and West Side Story are both awesome books I've been fortunate to play. I would love to do either (or both) of them again! I find it interesting that when one views The Rocky Horror Show (NOT the Picture show) in the context of Broadway musicals, it's not any more silly or outlandish than, say, Oklahoma! And Bat Out of Hell has one of my favorite bass players, Kasim Sultan. The guy is fun to listen to, and I love that they kept the flubbed note in "2 out of 3 Ain't Bad." Lots of excellent music listed in this thread, guys! John | ||

kasim gets an interview in this months Bass Guitar Magazine(UK). I've admired his playing for a long time, especially with Utopia on RA. possibly one of the earliest bass solos in a rock tune I'd heard - the diver sequence in Singring and the Glass Guitar. Now there'a an album I'll have to dig out this weekend. edit.. I'll also be digging out Brownsville station - haven't listened to this for ages but it's a superb album - includes the hit Martian boogie but i think my favourite song would have to be My Friend jack dedicated to a certain beverage. Class! Tony Driggins bass lines are very good and I think the line on Throw me a lifeline was more than likely the first Popped bass line I ever heard.

From what I've been able to determine, Humble Pie's "Rocking The Fillmore" was released on CD in 1990 by A&M and in 1996 by Universal/Polygram. Amazon has the 1990 release for $10.99. Amazon also has an Import reissue from Japan (no label shown) released on June 27, 2006 (yes, next week) for $22.99. Amazon has the 1996 Universal/Polygram release, also referred to as an Import, for $32.49. And Amazon also lists a 2001 Universal/Polygram import release that is unavailable. | ||

Raymond, I'm listening to Gentle Giant's "Knots" right now, courtesy of Pandora.com. Most excellent! John | ||

Thanks, Dave. It's amazing how I'm drawn to live albums more than studio projects. I've always wondered (and all of us who played in bands will know this vibe) why bands didn't record like this: Get an album's worth of tunes, play them on the road till they get to just that moment where they just flow, then drop in and record them in nothing flat while they're hot and fresh and jumpin'. I suppose it's because this only works on the way up: Once you've all made money, take months off, have families, you're no longer breathing each other's air 24/7 . . . OK, I answered my own question. But if I was in that position, you could always do the 2 week club stint and work 'em up. J o e y | ||

That's how Miles always liked to make records. Obviously there were some exceptions, like when when he made three records in one day for prestige. | ||

Speaking of live performances ... Gentle Giant has a live DVD from the deep dark 70s. (I actually saw them play live twice in Boston in the 70s.) It's amazing how tight the band is live! And I just got a live DVD of Chick Corea and the Electric Band from 2004. MY GOD ... outstanding! John Patatuchi (probably spelt his last name wrong)has his own Yamaha 6 string signature model bass ... the man is a modern god on the instrument! Of course it would be nice to see him play an Alembic 6 string bass BUTTTT I'm sure his Yamaha is top shelf! And he'd sound awesome playing a $300 Ibanez! I highly recommend looking into his work and the "Electric Band" if you're in search of some mind blowing bass playing! | ||

Raymond, I second both of your suggestions, I love the Gentle Giant (got the DVD and the live CD - Playing The Fool, plus a couple of their reissued studio efforts (it's their 35 anniversary reissue). I got Chick and the Electric Band at Montreaux and it's phenominal. Chick gets the whole audience singing along (call and response) on Spain and some others - he really has fun with it. Mike | ||
