Dad3353 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) No apologies; this is a topic in which I shall be posting stuff that I like, and that I think merits a listen. Eclectic..? Rather; no other theme than that it's my choice. Some long, some less so, from a mix of periods and dates; a real rag-bag of music. I'm not ashamed, either to say that I know who the bass (if there is one...) is played by for a few; I know who plays drums on more, but even then, not always. To me, it's secondary, as it's the music created that I listen to principally. Posts will be sporadic; maybe daily at first, but no promises. Here, then, is the first; enjoy...

ezbass Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 This will be interesting. Bring them on, Dad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddo Soqable Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Reminds me a bit of a video of the Clash's Spanish Bombs, where they've interspersed a load of "flamenco" dancing ( and drinking wine from those daft squirty things)...

TheGreek Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Interesting thread. I imagine that all of us could put forward tracks and artists which "merit a listen". I look forward to hearing people's contributions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better let the man himself decide? .. 😁 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I agree - it would just become BC's Desert Island Discs. Now there's a new thread for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted July 29, 2023 Author Share Posted July 29, 2023 Yes, indeed, anyone can start their own topic of stuff they would like to share.

MB was an interesting character, she used to sing accompanying herself on a battered old banjo, she used to do the Irish pubs in London at one point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many more 'live' concert albums, plus the studio stuff. I chose only one extract, as a 'teaser', or 'taster'; there is very little Magma to be culled, as it's all extraordinary. One may note that there is not a music stand in sight; all is played and sung after rehearsals until perfectly ingrained. This, for 35 years of compositions, immensely detailed, to be executed perfectly, 'live' each time. Super-human, I say. I'll continue tomorrow with maybe something a bit lighter, but rest assured, there's more 'intense' stuff to come..! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 9 hours ago, Dad3353 said: Jaco Pastorius at his best, nothing else to say, really listening to the others (Lyle Mays and Michael Brecker when he plays) and playing with Don Alias, not against him. I think Joni Mitchell was the only one who has ever been able to canalise him the right way. Pat Metheny is also excellent as well as Joni Mitchell of course. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
