Fuck me in the liver

[Glamrock]

4. Fuck me in the liver! Hahahaha

5. That was fun, and without Muddy and a few others, no Beatles, No Stones, no The Who, etc

[Glamrock]

6. Dead on brother.

No me either. I borrowed lots from John Lee Hooker and Howling Wolf.....

7. Drummer here, trumpet player. I took a lot from

Aynsley

and

Frosty

I feel sad for folks who dont know the pre Perry Journey, easily the best musicians in one place at the time.

10. Drums n trumpet?

That's quite the combo! You don't fit into the "whadya call the guy that hangs out with 4 musicians" joke do ya?

That's the beauty of music though. Those artists live on forever through each successive generation. Much like America, music is a melting pot.....

11. Good one, tell that to

[Glamrock]

12. Ginger is just. Fucking. Phenomenal!

Don't be offense man, I wasn't throwing that at you! That joke applies to me. I'm no musician, but I'll toot my own horn and say I'm a great front man. I can sing my ass off and I can keep a crowd entertained for as long as necessary, but don't ask me to play any chords...

[Eliot Rosewater]

14. I knew it was a joke...

Music is everything to me.

I remember the WHO/DEAD concert on the Green. Keith Moon...etc.

[Glamrock]

16. Another joke...

Drummers wanna be singers, singers wanna be drummers. Soooo true. I wanted to be a Singer as early as 5. At 13 I wanted axset of drums soooo bad. Mom's excuse? I can't afford lessons. Oh, okay! I'm not old, but I wasn't born yesterday mom! Her worst fears came about regardless. Now she's upset I'm not currently playing. "You're so good. It breaks my heart that you're not singing..." I never let it go though. Just imagine how good a drummer I'd have been. You've seen me with maracas, tambourines, wood blocks. You may have robbed the world of the next Keith Moon mom, I hope you're happy.

8. This is my favorite version, from The Last Waltz

[Glamrock]

9. Thanks for that! That is damn good!

Hope you'll forgive me. Doesn't show much for my blues cred, but this is my favorite version....

13. I saw The Black Crowes, back in the 90's

I don't know if it was the venue, the sound man or both, but the sound was horrible everywhere except outside at the smoking area. You couldn't be inside and hear it as music, just an overwhelming noise.
Editing to add, I love The Band and Robbie Robertson as a solo artist. The Last Waltz is an amazing film, probably the best concert film ever; there are several songs on it that are my 'favorite versions'!

[Glamrock]

15. Happened to me once too.

I'd seen em like a half dozen times and dragged my guitar player to see them ranting and raving about what a great show. First set, the sound was just awful! Too loud. Everything was distorted. They got it dialed in for the second set though, so I was vindicated.

What a great time that gig was! Ended up in some tiny little bar on a corner in S. Bend. With like 4 other local NW Indiana bands we were friends with. We were the only people in there. Literally. We come piling in, like 20-25 of us and just owned the place for three or four hours. Bringing in McDonalds from across the street, rocking the jukebox. What a great night!

17. Hard Again is a great album, Muddy back in form after fading away
