RE: 1973: Still living in the 70's for x-daysofmusic
Is it just me who doesn't like Mike Garson's solos on Bowie songs? I saw them play together a few times and it just didn't do it for me.
ELO on the other hand always hit the right note.
I think I decided some time ago that I never needed to hear Freebird again :)
I have a lot of catching up to do with Grateful Dead. Can't say this one particularly grabs me.
I like a lot of ELP, but don't know this one. They could be really self-indulgent at times.
Nazareth are another I don't know much of, but I've heard this before. It builds nicely.
Early Queen is great and a lot of it is not heard as much as the later hits. They were quite prog back then. Have you seen the Freddie movie? I've heard people say they enjoyed it.
I agree on Garson when he solos on later songs, but for the early albums I think he fitted quite well, or I'm just acclimatised.
Where to start with the Grateful Dead? 'Blues for Allah' is due in three years - might be your cup of tea as there's some unusual time signatures. Or the lush backings of 'Terrapin Station' maybe. Then there's the rock phase of the early 80's and 'In The Dark'.
Am avoiding the Freddie movie, after seeing the clip set in the 70's where he's got the 80's moustache going. That sort of anachronism would wind me up :)
