It didn't do rod Stewart any harm either

It's funny, I just flew to geneva last wed and am so bored with the entertainment in flight i was going through the music and they had a unplugged compilation

It was great; Neil Young, csn, eagles and others

They were great

Clapton and 10,000 maniacs I always liked along with Neil young

Layla was great, but got overplayed.

I'll watch the Clapton set tonight and get back to you. Maybe I'll have a better appreciation now that I'm old.

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

Because music wise, KISS sucks. They are like a real life rock opera live. But their songs suck, their singing sucks, and if there isn't fire, or blood coming out of their mouths, there isn't much to see.

"In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden

Was just listening to SRV's Little Wing (studio release) and was struck with the thought that maybe SRV was mocking Hendrix rather than (or in addition to) paying tribute.

There are certain sections where he plays everything Jimi played, plus 15 other things at the same time, all the while keeping the "original" song together.

Maybe his intent was not to make a mockery of Jimi, but he did.

That song is my desperado. Whenever it comes on, I shush whoever is talking and demand 7 minutes of silence and just marvel at its perfection. The more I listen to it, and I mean really listen to it in a pondering or analyzing sense, the more it just completely blows my mind.

I don't know what his intent was, but he certainly kicks that song up a few notches IMHO. I wonder what his band must have thought when they recorded that. "Umm.. yeah, I think that take will do".

Long Chile was a silly place.

There's a video on YouTube of a SRV sound check on stage somewhere. At one point in it you can see his bass player look at Stevie playing and just shake his head in disbelief/admiration.

I love that one. He looks like he just woke up. Comes on stage, rubs his eyes, picks his nose, and then just tears it up!

Yup.

Somewhere in that vid you'll see his band mate just get blown away.
