Saw them in 1965 and thereafter. . . old fart here. Butter was amazing, more power and versatility than anyone. Bloomfield was a student of musical genres. BBB combined so many genres, but I would never think of them as a rock band. This album was in the air so much in 1966, at least in Northern California.
You should try to listen to Sleep and High on Fire, both Sabbath influenced bands, Matt Pike started High on Fire after his band Sleep disbanded, I'll admit Sleep is kinda hard to stay in to because their songs are so long and slow but you'd see the worth in it just like I do because you're a music fan.
Finally,a sons reaction ! One of the best albums made. One of the best bands that not many have heard of. Personally my favorite band.thanks for the reaction.
I love this work - I'd go so far to say it's my favourite. It's quite mathematical in construction but the overall effect of the piece is deeply spiritual - like some long journey that eventually returns to the starting point. It's also very rhythmic, quite groovy and funky.
Thanks very much these few years later. Screaming Trees and especially Mark himself were very underrated and bad luck n drug abuse held them bk along w other things. He's a real legend. Take care! RIP
Favorites: naive melody (this must be the place) my wedding song…then a tie : life during war time, take me to the river and cross eyed and painless with burning down the house as an honorable mention
I did see them during this tour … 83/84.. this same line up .. I have never danced so much in my life .. and I don’t really dance .. as you said everyone was 100% on point .. it was general admission show, outdoors, I got right up front .. saw Tina and the back up singers and David up close .. best concert experience ever .. amazing how good they sound live.. the energy and joy they all had.. every single person was vital to this show and they all shined.. art at its finest
Hey man, wondering where you got / how you were able to play the original full film in the corner of your video? Is it just a screen capture of it playing through your laptop? Curious about the technology, would be indebted to you for education on this. Thanks
Watching you listening to this album I saw your emotions at times... That's valuable to see in another person. Thank you, friend. I had the same emotions listening to it myself
'Somewhere down the crazy river' was his solo work, not The Band. It was after the Band was around. Unless when you said that was the band, you meant his backup singers.
I still miss that dude 🖤as much as I love that whole band Barrett just kills it on drums 🤤I was 21 when this came out & I didn’t live at home (Back then 18 meant “see ya” for some folks🤷🏼♂️) but every room /basement I remted I had this poster up 🤘🏻
Correct The song is about England's Orbital M25 Motorway. It's a road of despair, it frequently comes to a standstill, and is known by many Brits as London's orbital car park.
From 32:35, the next 4 minutes is a masterclass of perfection. The best 4 minutes of Fusion jazz in my 60 years on rhis planet, and i know every note played.
Dear sir, I thoroughly enjoy your reactions to these albums that I have enjoyed since their releases (i am now 48 and grew up listening to these musical stories from their releases, and still listen to them often.). I find your full grasp of the stories and great appreciation of the musicianship of these albums, which I have loved for years, a very enjoyable to experience. It is most gratifying to watch someone experience them and appreciate them for the first time. I thank you. An overlooked album by King Diamond is "the Puppet Master". A tale that takes place in Victorian times (no spoilers). It is both Horror and Tragedy (as most of his story telling is). I believe if you gave it a try you would find the story compelling, as it is another great example of his story telling and it incorporates a female singer playing a role as well. If you ever decide to experience this album, I would, without hesitation, enjoy watching and listening to your insights. Again, thank you, sir.
Really you dived in at the wrong time. PXR5 wasn't a great album. The band was in transition im reaction to the Punk era. Thers much more cerebral music on earlier offerings but they changed amazingky through their lifetime. For me the albums In Search of Space, Doremi Fasol Latido, Astounding Sounds Amazing Music & Quark Strangeness and Charm. These are all very different but span many years. I think you'd like Steppenwolf, Time We Left This World Today, Space Is Deep and Spirit of The Age. All masterpieces in different ways.
Apart so many divine tracks of Japan and David Sylvian how can one describe or say anything about The Devil's Own..is it a song , is it a story from a sacred book , is it a muvie made of words and sound only , is it a mandatory cathartic experience one has to go through ,were only following the voice will lead you back to the light again or all the above and some more? These are my thoughts every time i hear that spell bounding track and i know that i will always feel awe regardless how many times i have heard this track for the last 40 years!
Ashes of American Flags is one of my favorite songs ever. Profound as hell, for me at least. And the way it transitions right to the ebullience of Heavy Metal Drummer!
Wonderful to see you again!! I can't believe you still have reactions that are just now being unblocked - but any day seeing STB is a good day! You are sorely missed! I hope you're well and may you continue to be so. 😊
Nice to see you Henrietta. Just so you know, I have over 100 blocked reactions, including some sweet Zeppelin stuff. The one Zep reaction that remains blocked is one of my favs, the 1969 Denmark show : ( Hopefully, one day it'll be unblocked. Ciao
@@stbbeyond7087 I can't recall if you posted Denmark on patreon or vimeo; if so, I've seen it - however - I would eagerly watch it again if/when it gets unblocked. You left a big hole here on YT. Your passion, expression, and knowledge have been unrivalled. Keep in touch if you ever come through Chicago; a friendly Zep fan geek fest over coffee would be so much fun!
Didn't see this until yesterday. Haven't been paying a lot of attention to facebook lately. Great to see you again, Wayne. Great tribute, as usual. Best to you. Charles
You should do a reaction to Dave Alvin... the brother that went solo. In 2014 Dave and Phil Alvin got a Grammy nomination for Best Blues album.. ""Dave Alvin and Phil Alvin Play and Sing the songs of Big Bill Broonzy" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lcpFzAy7vnw.html
Ok sorry for all the comments. The only reason it was released in as many theaters as it did was because aome of the music was released first. Stigwood made a deal with Paramont. The higher the song went on the charts the more theatres the movie would be released.
They broke up for about 18 months in 1969. Then they came back and did Lonley Days amd How Do You Mend a Broken Heart. They didnt really discuss Barry singing more except that his voice suited the change in music sounds.
