Grace is giving it laldy, while the boys in the band haven't quite woke up yet - is there any guitar work here at all??

Anonymous said...: Yeah, maybe outdoor systems were not as sophisticated back then (& I was there) but that's part of the appeal. Sometimes gets too slick sounding & overproduced these days.
TNR: If you haven't yet, check out the new Patti Smith covers cd (called '12') on which she does a fucking amazing version of 'White Rabbit' that even Gracie would embrace. BTW, it'll knock you out who all she covers on that -- for starters she does Hendrix's 'Are You Experienced'....look it up & see the other tracks on it. Think you'll be impressed....; 3:00 pm

YP - how could you do anything but love JA, they were tremendous. And, come on, let's forgive the sound system, it was '69 for goodness sake!

TNR - not best band ever, but very very good.

Marc - you were there? But you don't look a day over 35 ;-))
I've heard great things about taht Patti Smith album so I think a purchase is definitely necessary.; 9:23 pm
