Music from my generation

Still here and still going to post more tunes. I apologize for the quality of this but it was an audience tape. One song from this show is on the Get Yer Ya Yas Out Album. The quality of the music was much better than this. I know because I was at this show with 17 of my friends.

We drove up in a convoy of cars from the VA/DC area. We had 12 seats across in the center section in one row and another 6 behind this. A joint would not make it from one end to the other. I spent much of the night standing and dancing on the arms of my seat. Trust me when I say this was the peak of the Rolling Stones. The have never gotten any better than this era, IMO. They absolutely shreded Sympath for the Devil that night. Mick was like a madman all evening all over the huge stage. But he was 26 then and I was 21.

I saw a lot of shows in the 60s into the 70s (at many I was doing the sound ): The Dead, Steppenwolf, Hendrix, Little Feat, Jethro Tull, The Commodores, Doc and Merle Watson, Donald Byrd and the BlackByrds, The Persuasions, The Ohio Players, Climax Blues Band, Taj Mahal, Sha Na Na, .... And no show was ever better than that night in late Nov. 1969.


Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out!: The Rolling Stones in Concert is the second live album by the Rolling Stones, released on 4 September 1970 on Decca Records in the UK and on London Records in the US. It was recorded in New York City and Baltimore in November 1969, just before the release of Let It Bleed.

Good live Stones & very funny Robin Williams bit. We didn't listen to get yer yayas out, husband is OD'd on Stones ATM; we've heard it before. Loved Sympathy For the Devil, Midnight Rambler &, of course Jumpin Jack Flash, Street Fighting Man...husband didn't love this version of Satisfaction but I liked it.
 
I miss Robin Williams. Mork and Mindy helped keep me sane when I was working in Saudi Arabia in the 70s. We were able to rent vids from folks in the Lockheed compound who had them taped and flown over from the States. In the Jeddah housing quarters we had a video wired to play on two floors. Most of the admin. and many of the high skilled operators were from the UK and a few of us were from the states. The boss was an American. I used to have to fight to play the Mork and Mindy tapes because the Brits didn't get Robins humor. I was ROTFLMFAO.

As far as I am concerned the Rolling Stones have never been better than they were in the late 60s and early 70s.

There have been two great eras for music in America in the past 100 years. I was alive for the second one and I listen to the first, the Big Band/Swing era, on recordings. As a kid I can remember my parents having 78 rpm records and HiFi. There was no stereo then. Benny Goodman is why I love the clarinet and swing music.

Nice tune- written by Phil Ochs.

My mother and father with a couple named Babs and Robin Craven. He was connected to My fair lady as a replacement for members of the original cast. My parents took me to a performance and we went backstage afterwards. I met Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison. I was somewhere between 8 and 11 years old.

I remember A Funny Thing happened on the Way to the Forum with Zero Mostel but I missed him in Fiddler :(

But I am a rock and roll guy at heart. But I can do some jazz, some Gospel, some R&B and Blues

Maybe you might like this?
