Love jammin waiting for columbus loud. When fat man in the bathtub opens up that record you better believe its cranked. Same with feats dont fail me now. Man I wish they were as passionate about recording live gigs back in their hey day as they are now.
Have you heard and have a take on lowell george's solo album that came out back in the day? Its on my wish list.
I first learned of joan on an altec lansing demo record. If I remeber correctly. Enjoy her early work too.
All the best

I was at that concert they recorded at Lisner Auditorium. It was *marvelous*! The band sounded terrific and Lowell George was at the top of his form. One of the best concerts I've ever seen.
We miss you, Lowell!!!

I remember reading how folks felt it may have been past their prime to have recorded a show then. I disagree. Personally I think the Time Loves a Hero album is great. And they sure didnt seem less effective.
Heck I wasnt even born yet. Its why I live for these classic live recordings of bands well before my time. I LOVE live recordings. 9 times out of 10 Id take the live version over studio of anything. But heck you take what you get. Wish more live recordings show up out of no where. Once in a while they surface.
BTW if you havnt heard it yet check out the Brothers of a Feather album. Its chris and rich robinson of black crowes fame. Its a live recording of em doing mainly blues / southern rock songs. They give a shout out to lowell and do Roll um Easy. Great rendition IMO. Love the black crowes and feel this album is up with their best work. Id be shocked if you didnt dig it.
All the best man. Your a lucky dog :)
Have you listened to The Band "Rock of Ages" or Tower of Power's "Live and in Living Color"? Two of my favorites.
Waiting For Columbus is still number one for me.

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
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....
Wait, what , There's an SRV unplugged and no CD release ......... !!!!
If anyone ever needed evidence that sobriety doesnt kill creativity look no further.
Clearly Ive no way of knowing theres more to this vid. But Id be pretty shocked all this was lined up so stevie could sit and do 3 songs or so. And still only pride and joy has ever been issued via sound board quality.
Youtube just clicked over to SRV and Albert King. Just an amazing session!
...is called "Thanks, I'll Eat It Here". I like it a lot. See link.
Joan is appearing at a local venue in what is being billed as her final tour. I waited too long and all the good seats are gone. Still might go.

Yup thats it. Was out and about and didnt have time to reference it for sure.
Lowell was extremely talented. Had an ear for good unique sound. Im glad he continued with the direction of the band despite creative differences within. Real shame he was lost so young and early. Ive no doubt he would have continued to make amazing music with time. And Ive no doubt he would have been better known. That being said musicians who know who was really great give him credit often.
And it was that Altec record I first heard Joan. Oddly enough I was about 19 or so and it was around the year 2000. Me and a close now gone friend found that LP by chance. We were both blown away by her performance. Bought the album, it could have been better, was off. Wonderful album start to finish.
I remember with that same friend in the same stash of LPs we also discovered the self titled Phoebe Snow LP. You know the one ;) And we both were just blown away and dug it from then on. Real shame she never found her footing so to say. I recently learned of her real life story. Wow, what a sad story. Her love for her challenged daughter is heart warming and breaking at the same time. As a single dad of a 6 y/o I just cant imagine what life may have been like for her trying to balance a performer's life and raising a special needs daughter on her own. Folks can say what they will about Howard Stern (and Im not a huge fan) but wow did he do a heart felt job eulogizing her passing on his show. And it really comes across just how much he liked her and her talent. Cant say I heard anyone else in mainstream media showing such an effort after her death. She was a massive talent and a true human being.
Hope you have fun at the Joan show.
