Keith Relf died in 1976??? Wow, I had no idea he had been dead for 30 years. I remember his stoic look while singing and those wrap around shades. I remember buying the black album with Shapes of Things, For Your Love, Smokestack Lightning, Over Under Sideways Down, etc. and playing it so many times it must have worn grooves. |

Bob- if you ever get a chance to see the movie "Blow Up" the Yardbirds perform in it. |

Zep is just not my type of music. If I never hear Stairway to Heaven again, it will be too soon. Too me, they were begining of the end of old school rock and were epitomy of the fat bloated corpse that rock became in the 70s. Punk brought back the edge and rebellion that was rock'n roll's original claim to fame. And here I am a techno geek now because techno/rave music is the only genre that is producing new and interesting sounds. Now most pop music is just rip offs of techno/rave beats. |

Yes, I saw the Dead a second time, at MSG in 1991. 80 times makes you a real Deadhead. My childhood friend, Sandy Troy, saw them over 300 times and wrote two books about them: "One More Saturday Night" and "Captain Tripps." Apparently, he is trying to get a movie made about Jerry Garcia's life. I will be seeing Sandy later this summer. On another note, for those who remember the wonderful 60's band "Love", Arthur Lee died on Thursday. Their album "Forever Changes" was one of rock's classics. |

The Beatles (one of my earliest memories is sitting in our kitchen after kindergarten eating baloney sandwich and chix noodle soup, listening to "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" on the tinny little radio). Love early Who and Stones, plus Joplin, Dylan somewhat, and way early Steely Dan and CSNY. |

They're on tour with their original line up right now. I contemplated seeing them in Cleveland but it's too soon after the National. |

Never got to see Love in person, but Da Capo is one great album. "Orange Skies" "Stephanie Knows Who" and "Revelation" were fantastic. One of the least known great bands. Sad to see Arthur Lee gone. I knew he was very sick. Springfield was perhaps my favorite LA band. Are there any better albums than "Buffalo Springfield Again"? |

Zach, go see X. They put on a good show. It's worth it just to see Billy Zoom. Is Ray Manzerak on keys or the very first keyboard player? |

John Doe & Exene are fantastic in concert. I was lucky to see them in a small venue in Chicago. Frank Black is another you should check out. When he left The Pixies, he struck gold on his solo albums. He also produced a great musician named Johnny Polonski(spelled wrong?)out of Chicago. I'm a sucker for a power cord! |

Baseball related tale, to stay in topic of the post:An older gentlemen moved into the neighborhood and we started talking about baseball and he told me he had these Bowman baseball cards and he said he was willing to part with them. He said he had a whole set. While the late 1940's and 1950's aren't my thing, I told him I could sell it for him. I assumed that they were in "enjoyed condition" and was expecting a fraction of a Willie Mays and a Mickey Mantle that went through the spokes several hundred times. When he started up my drive way, there it was under his left arm. A green brick. A factory 1989 Bowman set! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? |

Definately don't miss a chance to see X. They still put on a great show. Jay is right about seeing them with Billy Zoom on guitar again. FYI Ray Manzarek played on their first album and produced their first few, but I don't think he ever toured with them. He did join them on stage once or twice at the Whiskey back in the day. Growing up in L.A. had some advantages. |

The only time I saw X live was in San Fran and Manzerak played with them. Not sure if I saw them at the Warfield or Filmore. |

That's cool about Fogerty, Richard. I saw Pearl Jam several years ago and Heart joined them for the encore and that was really neat. |

I saw Iggy Pop in 1969 when he was with Iggy and the Stooges. Forgot all about him. |

Iggy is always a great show. Given all the things he ahs dived into over the years, I'm surprised him body isn't just one big scar. |

you are speaking my language. 1985-1990 were my golden years of collecting. the thrill of opening a few wax packs hoping to get a dwight gooden was astounding. i stopped collecting in the early 90s when it got too expensive and confusing. about a month ago i couldnt sleep and for some reason, i was thinking about my abundance of wally joyner rookies and decided to see if some of my better cards were worth anything (just had a baby. need money). they were worthless, which led to a thought: if my cards are worthless, maybe the cards i always wanted but couldnt afford are also worthless, in which case, i could finally get the cards i couldn't afford back then. to my amazement, they are. except the t206s, which for some reason i always loved, and found myself buying up with a ferocity i hadn't felt since 1989. of course, it seems that in the 4 weeks since my first t206 purchase, the prices have gone up. figures. not into it for the money- into it for the fun. i guess i should try to assemble a set of 1985 topps instead. |

I can't believe there's been a music thread running here for so long, and this is the first I'm seeing it. Anyway, I'd like to echo Jay's comments about the documentary "Punk: Attitude". It really is a tremendous look at one of the most exciting times in the evolution of rock. Sure, they left out a lot of important bands, and spent maybe a little too much time on a few that weren't quite as important, but aside from that it's a great film. |
