Well yeah I know Rock of Ages! They were a Band ;) that just oozed with character and talent. Love the story behind their name. And if were gonna talk live Band recordings one simply has to bring up The Last Waltz. Man they couldnt have known just how lucky they were not only to be attached to Dylan but also Scorsese. Jezz how much more recognition could a group get?!? My only complain of Waltz (well other than never seeing the glob of blow under Diamonds nose LOL) was for a film and soundtrack thats focus is music, there wasnt enough music!!! You have all these A list groups and musicians of the time in this amazing collaborative effort. And we only get to hear one or two songs by each!!! WTF... Why hasnt a more complete recording of this historic show not come out yet?!? Im aware of the expanded set of CDs that came out. But even that isnt very complete overall. Kinda like the additional Woodstock setup that came out. Better but no where near complete. Im as pissed at this as I am why who ever the greedy bastard is that still sitting on the tapes of SRV show for the MTV unplugged show. My god we only have this small body of work Stevie was able to do in his time here on earth. And heres this one amazing moment in MTV Unplugged history. Prob as good or possibly better than the Clapton recording, and thus far only one track has ever made the light of day. WTF....

I know and like Tower of Power. Cant say Im much of a seasoned listener to their work. Only have 3 or so of their albums. Including the great self titled one. Never heard the one you mention yet. Given your love for Band and Feat I have faith your taste ;) will have to seek it out now.

But if were talking brass incorporated rock, I have to hand it to my fav of all time thus far. Chicago. God its a tragedy so many folks today associate Chicago's sound with the schmaltzy Cetera 80s era sound. Its up there with Fleetwood Mac Peter Green era and Nicks era. Or Dire Straits money for nothing and the real overall Dire sound. CTA through III is just a trifecta of amazing opening work. I was just jammin the live at Carnegie the day before. Again, talent was just insane in that band and era. So sad how few today will know and hear it.

My dad really dug BS&T and that was my first exposure to brass rock of the era. I recently got Lighthouse One Fine Light at goodwill. I talk to allot of the older guys who frequent there and get to learn of bands I didnt know of before. They know I dig real music and we enjoy talking with each other. Cool dudes IMO. They told me how Lighthouse is another good brass rock band of the era.

Yup once upon a time real music was being made and the masses consumed it. Damn I hope such times come again....
