What's Playing Now

[SEAWOLF97]

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Self Titled
(1968, Fantasy) > Canadian pressing: "distributed in Canada by Phonodisc"

CCR - A great debut album

I saw them in the Bay area (Pleasanton Race track) in '69 (or was it 68 ? them days are foggy) ....Fogerty took the mike and announced that "the next song is from our upcoming album" ...they played "I put a Spell on You" (which was wrong, since the first album was already out - but we didnt care)

EDIT: I found it !!

San Francisco International Pop Festival, Alameda Co. Fairgrounds, Pleasanton CA 10/26-27/1968. w/Johnny Rivers, Jose Feliciano, Eric Burdon & The Animals, Iron Butterfly, Deep Purple, Canned Heat, and others.


I'm not a big ELO fan , but have given "El Dorado" its share of spin time this week and really like it....
a concept album (in the spirit of SPLHCB - in some reviews) - recommended.

George Benson - The Most Exciting New Guitarist On The Jazz Scene Today - It's Uptown
(1966, Columbia) 1976 pressing

CCR - A great debut album

I saw them in the Bay area (Pleasanton Race track) in '69 (or was it 68 ? them days are foggy)

Thoroughly enjoyed the last 2 cuts - Gloomy and Walk On The Water, they stretch out w/ some tasty psychedelic guitar licks.

Wow, quite a lineup for that festival.

The Steve Miller Band - Brave New World
(1969, Capitol)

I have "rediscovered" SMB this last year and slowly collecting his albums...my son found "Abracadabra", which has a longer version of the title cut than AM radio ever plays..

LRBacon and I agree on "Sailor" ..its really quite good too

Any other Steve Miller Blues Band fans here ?

I was enjoying the licorice pizza version of "461 Ocean Blvd" today , and scoping the jacket.....an inconsistency jumped off the photos at me ...the 2 pics of Erics house are a little different ..

5 forum prestige points to the first who can see the diff that I am referring to ...

(1970, Apple)

Well there is wire (tv antenna?) trailing down from the "chimney" on the left side of picture #2, and that is missing in picture #1 ... assuming both shots are from the same side of the house, which they appear from studying where the palm trees are both pictures.

Have always liked 461 - kind of unsettling, but in a good way.

+1 on Sailor. Spun it earlier today....

The Chico Hamilton Quintet - Self Titled
(1956, Pacific Jazz)

[SEAWOLF97]

Thoroughly enjoyed the last 2 cuts - Gloomy and Walk On The Water, they stretch out w/ some tasty psychedelic guitar licks.

Wow, quite a lineup for that festival.

for those type CCR cuts, I also like "Graveyard Train" & "Side of the Road" ...."Walk On The Water" is a carryover from their Golliwog days.

Can only remember CCR & Canned heat from the whole lineup ...slight impairment ....the festival ran out of tickets and the crowd flattened the fences , was a FREE Concert after that.

your last pic is much improved

Gentle Giant - Acquiring The Taste
(1971, Vertigo) "Masterdisk G.K." in the deadwax both sides

[SEAWOLF97]

but with the substitution of the foul weather TREK ...and then the weather has been nice...
crisp & clear..low 50's

picked up 2 Cats and a very nice DG recording of Holst "The Planets" ..that is definitely a record for doing demos....tho parts of it vaguely remind me of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade
