German public television had (and probably still has) a show called "Rockpalast" (= "rock palace") where they presented a one-hour concert, mostly by famous and semi-famous British and American bands, in front of a live audience in a TV studio. Several times during a year they had concerts in a larger setting, featuring 2-3 bands. At that time, in Germany the TV sound was pretty atrocious; thus, these concerts were broadcast in parallel on FM radio, in excellent quality. One of these concerts (probably the one with the most famous bands), in 1981, had first the Who and then the Grateful Dead. Townshend jammed with the Dead for a few songs. It was hilarious to see the contrast between his very energetic style of playing (or at least, his attempts to jump around) and the much more relaxed style of the Dead. Quite..... relaxed..........

RaoulDuke79 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) The wife and kids are in bed an I'm on a Janes Addiction kick right now. I was looking for the guitar solo thread, but couldn't locate it. Somewhere around the 16:30 mark (Edit: the 22:09 mark is hot fire as well) is pure entertainment.

This is a bit LAMPish but some intersections in my life with the two posts above: First and only time time I saw The Who was around 1982 in the Syracuse Carrier Dome. Sat top row, pretty sure it was row ZZ. It was the first of many farewell tours for The Who. Keith Moon was long gone. First and only time (before tonight) I had heard of Rockpalast was a video of Porcupine Tree playing Futile (below). I saw one of the bands last performances at Radio City. The drummer, Gavin Harrison, is the second best I've ever seen live. Best drummer I ever saw live was Neil Peart. First and only time I saw him was at the Syracuse Carrier Dome circa 1983-1984. Unlike the Who concert we were 2nd or 3rd row center. Only two shows I ever saw at Syracuse, crappiest seats I've had for a concert and best seats I've had for an arena concert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife and kids in bed, I'd break out the headphones, DVD and a large drink or three. Wifey got it and actually bought me expensive headphones that I wouldn't have sprung for. I have a Jane's Addiction DVD from a Halloween show in New Orleans that was a go to but haven't watched for quite a while. That's about to change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its amazing how a good set of headphones makes a world of difference. I have a decent sound system, but you hear so many things in headphones that are indistinguishable with speakers.

Gugny Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I heard this tune on the radio whilst driving yesterday. I shazammed it and found out it was The Claypool Lennon Delirium, of whom I'd never heard prior. Les Claypool with Sean Lennon. I'll be honest, I had no idea Sean Lennon was even a musician. When I got home yesterday I asked Alexa to shuffle some tunes by these guys ... WOW. I love it. Much of their music is very psychedelic. Best I can describe it is a mix between late Beatles and very early Floyd. This particular tune is much more Beatles-esque. Hope you like it .... From The Claypool Lennon Delirium's new album, "South of Reality", available everywhere Feb 22, 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Never heard that before, definitely a unique version, stay very true to the original yet they put that distinctive perry farrell stamp all over it. Very cool! 1 hour ago, Pete said: I love the Dead, but Janes Addiction does a great cover - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
