Too much time is spent changing the tuning of the guitar between songs. Would be nice if Richard or you could enlighten us on what he is doing all this time. That is, what is the final tuning, for example E-A-D-G--B- E (Standard tuning), on each song. Thank for posting this lovely video though.
Of course, Jim Morrison was an incredible genius - the correct definition of genius is "talent". Unfortunately, he consumed every drug to his bitter, early end. He was lost and I don't think he wanted it that way like a gull blown inland on a stormy day Lost in round one spitting out pieces of his teeth lost in a Paris graveyard carrying his own wreath And I have seen that movie and it wasn't like that he was mad and lonely and blind as a bat To the bridge and the falling tree Too deaf to hear his own song You see How does anyone get to there We may never know How they got that far Or what made them go But he had flown from his homeland You could see him there A gull circling In the high desert air And somehow I Have to learn from this 'Cause I can hear him cry And feel the hiss Of the wind in his feathers and the sand on his feet As he dies in the desert On that Paris street And somehow I Have to learn from this 'Cause I can hear him cry And feel the hiss
This was a great interview with lots of knowledge about Rock n Roll and the Beatles! I enjoyed listening and at the end of the interview I can say that I definitely learned something new, which is always an accomplishment. I really enjoyed the tie in of the Charles Manson story with the Beatles, it definitely peaked my interest to see how a character such as Manson would relate to their music, considering their focus on spreading love and similar topics that strayed far from Manson's beliefs and reputation.
Hello, I really enjoyed the talk about Ringo the Beatles Drummer. He was quite extraordinary and a joy to watch. After your podcast, I went and saw some of his other work and I have to say his technique is really great. Thank you for discussing this because if I hadn't listened, I would not have been exposed to a new genre of music that I enjoy now. I guess its never too late to listen to old Rock!. Act Naturally by the Beatles is now on my permanent playlist!
I found that one of the most interesting parts of this presentation was how the Beatles implemented their psychedelic influences into their music. The cover of their album, “Rubber Soul” reflected their psychedelic era. The look of the album cover appeared somewhat, “druggy,” as Coach Davis reflected. The music of, “Strawberry Fields Forever,” had some psychedelic flare to it. At last, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (LSD), was also a strong coincidence to the Beatles’ psychedelic era.
Being able to learn the history of the Beatles from a great professor is a great opportunity to broaden your education. Everyone can like or love the Beatles but knowing the history brings a new meaning to their music. I enjoyed not only learning about the Beatles but also about Rock history.
Great band but every video has a different roster of band members. I like the ones with Dennis. One of my favourites is two divided by love where Dennis has a great part
Great interview, damn I forgot how good that band was. I Love the Way Dennis could sing. We had a good range, and sang some complicated background. But hell they all could sing. Thank you for posting this
Rick, thanks for sharing this interview! I love what Steve Davis has to say about Ringo and The Beatles. Steve has so much knowledge of Rock history! I really enjoyed this interview!
Dylan had Hwy 61 Revisited in 65. The Byrds first album was the same year. The Association would not debut until a year later. So I don't know about the first folk-rock claims. But, I tell you what, Along Comes Mary has a strong jazz accent to it. That might be the first jazz-rock song, years ahead of time.
