Dammit Belinda - I've had that light on for so many years... I'm beginning to believe you're not being completely honest.

apologies in advance for a brief derail but saw this vid recently quickly followed by a memory flood

if the summary of my primary musical influences could be condensed into three hundred thirty three seconds this is an appropriate summary
as a bonus the video characters reflect self-perception at that time of life
and the Neil Peart jazz influence quickly sprung forward towards Miles and the rest is history

what occupies your ears
for the next hour?

Listening to this song that was an album you recommended not long ago

Went to see a Janis Joplin tribute with my mother and my sister. Not my idea. The lady imitating Janis was very good, and I'm not certain I could pass the Pepsi challenge with the vocals. But I imagine there would be more electricity if it were the 1960s and the real 27 Club Janis were up there. My mother was likely the only person in the theatre to have seen her IRL, along with some semi-mystical family friend called Niall who died young, at the Albert Hall, supported by some band called Yes, whom she had never heard of. She said Janis moved around more on stage. I don't know whether she got the Woodstock Janis or the Robert Crumb Janis that night, and suspect she doesn't, and I doubt it even matters. What matters is the time, which you cannot replicate.

I'm not into the entire canon, but is this the GOAT opening to a live album?

quite understandable Stumeister
obviously this one previously struck me square in the middle the forehead as well

Did the tribute band play this? (Janis.)

The opened with it, but messed around with it.

I know tribute bands are popular, but like most things in this century, I don't get it. I saw the Pixies, the Cocteau Twins, the Fall and the Smiths at the correct times in their careers, and have no interest in recreating that. Why not listen to the original on headphones, and spend your theatre money on something else?

I'm with you on this. I saw Janis later in 1969. I think they may have ended with this song or maybe broken with it. When Janis was on stage she moved as much as she wanted. She was the Alpha

I'm with you on tribute bands, but I know people who love them. Seems crazy to me to spend 60 bucks on a ticket to see a Fleetwood Mac tribute band, even if the lead singer did a great impersonation of Stevie Nicks.

(Yes, someone sent me a short video of her twirling around.)

Oh, and my wife could do "Mercedes Benz" and you'd swear it was Janis.

my friends all drive poorshes
i must make a mends

seeing a tribute band at your local bar for free is fun. maybe it depends on a specific band vs. a time period tribute band (i.e. 80's, 90's etc.)

paying a lot of $$$ to see a tribute band anywhere is lol.

Oh ya, so nice

Bog Roll Blues...

usually not a fan of metal but that was good and beginning to see the light

Remember the past but don’t eternally live in it. That’s a losing game.

The more possessions you have the more you are just a pathetic slave.

please describe for us your living situation xeno and how it was acquired

found this one to be complexibly enjoyable
particularly the call and response between reed instruments

Gubelye is a dope song too off this same album I didn't know the Ethiopian jazz scene is no joke

In this kinda' mood:

Mulatu Astatke is amazing!
