Rolling stones 50th anniversary tour

[Aerojoe]

where can I get a Hank tour shirt

I once saw a guy in a Hank Williams 1940s tour t-shirt I don't know where they sell them but in some printing shops they can print the picture you like on a T.

What no Iron Butterfly "Inna Gadda Vida" that's an "Acid Rock" must have,loosely translated as meaning In The Garden Of Life,in case you really wanted to know(probably not)

I love that tune. The extended version it's something like 20 minutes long or more

Yea and every body thinks "Stairway To Heaven" was a long song FYI Rush's "2112" was another 20 min song.The only problem I'd have about the Hank shirt people wouldn't doubt that I was there(haha)

Well, in my case, when I was kid everybody was listening to Nirvana and all the post-grunge stuff. What I liked then was The Doors and 1960s and 1970s bands.

When I was a sprout we were in the death throes of the Disco Age and the early days of New Wave, so I had Donna Summer, The Flying Lizards, Devo, Cheap Trick and the Bee Gees drummed into my thick skull. Of course I thus naturally gravitated to Erskine Tate's Vendome Orchestra, The Cliquot Club Eskimoes, and Adrian Schubert's Salon Ensemble.

I wonder whether they make a "Yerkes' S. S. Flotilla" tour Banana Slicker?

Greetings
I saw the Stones in 72 in Seattle. I would have to say they were certainly one of the best live bands back in the day. I remember debating with friends who was best live between Zepplin, The Who, and The Stones. I still like rock and roll, but have to believe that time was really the golden years of rock.

Natural gravitation from Disco to 1921 classics...yea my only thought on that is that maybe one to many "Boogie Nights"

Actually I was being pointedly obtuse.


Since I was a young sprout I've listened exclusively to pre-war music, except when forced to tolerate the whanging electric guitar noise which has dominated popular music lo these last many years. I loathed Disco when it was new, but not much more than other stuff of its period.

My comments above were perhaps a bit arch, not entirely constructive. I'm afraid that I get irritated when that rock nonsense invades even this more comfortable place.

I know that the boys have been around for fifty years, but they are distinctly modern, musically speaking. This sort of music ended the so-called "Golden Era".

But then why did you open the post that says the Rolling Stones,just makes me think you are looking for something to complain about,it was simply a questioned asked?If you feel this way I would suggest that you take it up with the Moderators or powers that be and ask them to remove any posts that don't fit the "Golden Age" criterion.

I really don't mean to tell anyone what they should or should not post, and was merely amusing myself posting a couple of irreverent comments on the subject.

Your response, however, ("Natural gravitation from Disco to 1921 classics...yea my only thought on that is that maybe one to many "Boogie Nights") came across as rather unpleasant. I don't think that I'm too thin-skinned, but...[huh]

It wasn't meant to be unpleasant it basically meant I couldn't see someone's musical interests going from a genre like Disco,Punk or New Wave and immediately gravitate to Classical over night.Not to say that you can't enjoy a variety of musical genres as I do myself,Dean Martin,Ol Blue Eyes,Beach Boys,Merle Haggard to Kiss and ACDC to name a few.I never mean to be offensive to anyone ever,sorry if I came across this way was not my intention.

Had you been around here longer you would doubtless have noticed my rather loudly expressed disdain for all of the post 1950 caterwauling. I had not noticed that you only recently joined. I've not been terribly active around here, as I'm attending to family matters.

When I was writing about all of that awful music being "pounded through my thick skull" I did not mean that it was by my choice. One of the things that I find to be most unpleasant about the modern world is the incessant musical soundtrack. In stores. In restaurants. In elevators. In physicians offices. In airports. ON THE TELEPHONE.

Always music. Always pop. Always awful.

Does this include all except Classical or are some of the "Old Country"(before 1970) songs tolerable?

Well, of course I'd never presume to criticise anyone for listening to whatever music that they like.

For myself, I enjoy most all pre-1940 stuff. I had a fairly comprehensive pre-war record collection, before my fire in March of '09, when I lost nearly eighty cubic yards of select discs.

My collection is much smaller these days, but is still pretty diverse. I enjoy popular music of all sorts, ragtime, military band, heart songs, jazz, dance music, ethnic music (generally Bohemian, Serbo-Croat, Roumainian, German, Italian, Swedish and Japanese, don't have an ear for Chinese or Egypitan) early Country music is fun, along the lines of Gid Tanner and his Skillet Lickers, Asparagus Joe, or Jasper Bisbee, and of course the Carter Family and Jimmy Rogers. Don't much care for Vernon Dalhart, though. Like Jug Band stuff, too, Gus Cannon, the Memphis Jug Blowers, the Harmaninacs. Then of course the celbrity vocals. Oddly enough my operatic tastes have been stunted by being a record collector. I love individual arias, but don't care for entire operas unless they are staged.

The building that I am just finishing which will be my record room and listening lounge:

I'm sorry to hear about the fire and I'm guessing you wouldn't normally have your music scattered around like that if it wasn't for that fact unless it's some new organizing method that I'm not familiar with(haha)I like the idea of having your own record and listening lounge you've done a nice job on it,again I never meant to offend you

I was sorting the records that I had just purchased. Sorting in this manner does have its dangers, however. Many years ago I had purchased a large group of really good discs, about five thousand, all told. I sorted them by label and artist into piles on my dining room floor, and then retired for the night. At around three o'clock a house guest who waas close to overstaying his welcome came home from a night out on the town...

I remember debating with friends who was best live between Zepplin, The Who, and The Stones.

It must have been a long discussion after a couple of beers Jimmy Page was better guitarist than Richards or Townshend. I think these 3 bands are 3 different kind of animal by themselves. Maybe there is no who's better In 1972 Led Zeppelin was a more experimental band.

The Stones were more rock and roll and Jagger was already some kind of master of ceremonies. In 1971 Stones published Sticky fingers and in 1972 the Exile album. That means Brown Sugar, Dead Flowers, All Down The Line...

The Who was with the "Who's next" album. "Baba O'Riley" must have sounded form outer space back then. And next year, in 1973 they did the Quadrophenia stuff with all the mod revival.

My take on it The Stones were basically an earlier type sound ala beatles ect,and to pick between the other 2 couldn't do it.The only pick I could make like you said Joe definitely Jimmy Page on guitar,and John Bonham on drums.

The Who had a an early 60s stage too. They made great songs like "My generation"

Yeah, definitely Bonham was essential in Led Zeppelin. When they lost him, the band simply didn't work. They had to cancel their next US tour. Then, they tried 5 or 6 other drummers and there was no way to put anybody in Bonham's sit.

You're correct Joe "My Generation" was released in 65,but I've always thought The Who's sound was newer than that of the Stones if you listen to both bands I'm sure you'll understand what I mean as I really can't describe it in words.(guess I should've stayed in school)haha
