Frank Zappa "FZ OZ" - Live in Sydney, Australia circa 1975
You don't have to like him or his music, but you have to admire this incredibly prolific musician that inspired so many, spawned incredible bands and genre's, was a brilliantly talented guitarist, and had a sense of humour lost on many. He was absolutely intolerant to drug use by anyone in his band. If they failed to respect that rule, they were out.
And he never slept. He couldn't have slept. He was too busy building a catalog that is unmatched in the industry.

Killer band. The guitarist on the right is John McFee (played on My Aim Is True (that's his solo on Alison)
and the Almost Blue album, for any new (or old) posters who didn't know). Next to him is his sit down metal
slide guitar thing. When I saw them last year they only had two drummers..! And thankfully no Michael
McDonald was required, and they played almost entirely the better 70's 'classic era' Doobie Brothers material.

Should be able to see it now.Otis Westinghouse wrote:I had to check the URL via quote as it's just showing a ?, but you're referring to the Doobie Brothers, it appears.
It would've taken someone with a very hard heart who couldn't enjoy the Doobies show. Their 35 or so years of the core players' experience playing together (and 25+ for some of the others) provided a magic you don't encounter every day.

Not at all....honest.Otis Westinghouse wrote:Now you're just being obscure. Emiliana Torrini?Jackson Monk wrote:
You'd like her. I would describer her as a bit like Bjork without the drawback of the bleeding ears . Her versions of 'Crazy Love' and 'I Hope that I don't fall in love with you' are ipod regulars at our place. I got into her after hearing a track ('Today has been ok') on one of the earliest Word freebie CDs. You probably have that CD Otis.
