MUSIC - What are ASF members listening to?

[basilio]

Came across The Koln Concert by Keith Jarrett in a recent article.

This was an iconic improvised jazz-fusion concert performed in the Opera House in Koln in Jan 1975. The concert recording is the best selling solo album in jazz history and the best selling piano album. So there are some commercial chops for the music.

The circumstances around the staging of the concert which made the production a unique event are being explored in movies being produced for the 50 year anniversary.

‘The Köln Concert is the hit he wants to disown’: why Keith Jarrett shunned two new films about his unlikely masterpiece

His back hurt and his piano was substandard. But the musician’s improvised 1975 show entered jazz history. Now two films are celebrating that mesmerising night – and the sweary teen promoter who made it happen

Lyrics sum up my life.

If rock lyrics sum up your life well that means you're actually living it....

Here's another from that era with lyrics some may have lived.....

Here's another from that era with lyrics some may have lived.....

The very first stanza scared me.
I ran away from every fight that looked like I may have been involved in.
Got beaten up in grade 6 by a kid in grade 5, and never got over it.

Hard Rain tour 1976 ... quality video

Maggie's Farm half way through a standout.

Idiot Wind - give that man a Nobel Prize.

"Mama take this 12 string off of me
I can't fake it any more
Turn the wood back into a tree
Knock knock knocking on heaven's door"
- Roger Maguinn's verse

and Scarlet Rivera played for me and 20 other people at Friends Meeting House, Geneva In 1997. A busker again.

1965



...not sure it was live haha and those go-go dancers , who put them up to that!!

"It's My Life" was written specifically for The Animals because their producer Mickie Most was soliciting material for the group's next recording sessions.(Other Animals hits to come out of this Brill Building call were "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" and "Don't Bring Me Down.") "It's My Life" has become D'Errico and Atkins' best-known work.

How so?

As far as I know, the original cover was pretty much as the 50th anniversary album shown.

Yesterday morning at the gym I thought of this album and how well it matches with the current troubles and discourse in the world.

When I got home I had to play the whole album, it was magnificent and sad, yet also inspiring.

Welcome to the Machine, everyone.
