would never guess this was the Mothers if I didnt know. who sang?

classic solo Neil special for BBC with a mix of songs from last years After The Gold Rush and next years Harvest

seen this @RVI ? iconic high school classic for me. we watched it constantly.

i think so. or at least some of the songs from it

the often maligned Flo and Eddie

(aka 2 of the guys from The Turtles)

Really nice to hear the Harvest songs stripped down and Neils falsetto probably never got more pure than it was here. Crazy how well he does it live, the Gold Rush songs performed might be vocally stronger than the album versions tbh.

Nice lol Turtles are cool with me

the ones where they're just singing is fine. it's the extreme lowbrow "comedy" routines with them that make the period zappa's nadir in the eyes of many. zappa's fault and not theirs though

or this bullshit that is almost impossible to sit through

Yeah I listened to his 200 Motels soundtrack despite your warnings he was on one this year.

P**** Dimension

his peak era was just too long and powerful so he had to add in a year of trash in the middle. also a personally trash year for him too as it ends with a casino they played in burning down (inspiring Smoke on the Water) and a week later having a near death accident. both caused by dumbass fans, i'm sure it didn't make him any less cynical

goatness promptly resumes in 1972

holy s*** one idiot shot a flare inside and the other pushed him off stage cause his girlfriends had such a crush on him brutal

the injuries also permanently lowered his voice and gave him chronic pain for life iirc. and apparently no one in the audience knew what was going on with chaos, some people thought he was killed or it was part of the act

the time recovering made him lock down in the studio and make creative breakthroughs

The Same Old Rock by Roy Harper is an incredible 12 minute long track and it’s one of my all time favorite folk songs, but from 1:23-3:05 he sings this really beautiful melody that I always wish he would return to towards the end—yet it sadly never happens. The rest of it is musically genius, but I always have like audio blue balls because of that.

Stormcock ill check it out

Jimmy Page on that song you like always a fan of his studio work

i thot you already peeped stormcock or am i misremembering

I don't think so

I think I would remember that name

You mentioned that same song specifically in here.

Listening now and it doesn't sound familiar nor does the title or art maybe I'm losing it but I'm pretty sure you're mistaken

I’m not mistaken

Dang yeah guess this is why listening to a whole album and keeping it rotation till it sinks in is my method

You know what I mean about that melody tho?

No there's too much racket going on in my house for me to focus on music rn
