Browsing the archives for the live music tag
Share I like it that the Stones are delving through the archives, and releasing some of the cool stuff they find. Things like the expanded Exile On Main Street, or Ladies and Gentlemen, The Rolling Stones (1972 concert film) are actually worth the release. They have a vitality that’s their own. The latest Rolling Stones [...]
ShareThe ZoCrowes Were tight The Army Of Guitars Was Achieved I’m sorry I never got to see Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes (who played together recently) when they toured in 2000. I wasn’t really enamored with their album. I don’t like Chris Robinson’s voice singing Zep (I love him singing his own stuff). He [...]
ShareZoCrowes Reunion 2011 Final Crowes Show In UK Jimmy Page got offstage about two hours ago, from playing with the Black Crowes on their farewell to England Tour. This video appeared on YouTube about 20 minutes ago (from post time). I act fast. Jimmy Page was supposed to launch his website today. That hasn’t happened [...]
ShareJimmy Page And Ron Wood Sound Great Together Nassau Colosseum February 13, 1975 Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) is old friends with Ron Wood (Rolling Stones), to the point of sharing Ronnie’s spouse for a time. Yes, it was the ’70′s. It was 2/13/75 in Uniondale, NY. Led Zeppelin (I believe they were some sort of [...]
Share Great Pic Of The Man (and his Gibson Black Beauty) Taken By The Esteemed Dave Lewis of Tight But Loose. Jimmy Page Plays Live After 4 Years Absence I have found two videos of Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) playing Sunshine Superman, with Donovan last week. I wrote about this the night it happened, but [...]
Share We knew it was going to happen, but it was still amazing when it did. On May 12th, in London, David Gilmour performed Comfortably Numb as part of Roger Waters performance of The Wall. The video below shows the moment. Pink Floyd obviously is releasing this show, as it was shot in HD, and [...]
Share Guitar god Jeff Beck is touring with Imelda Mey’s Irish rockabilly band, performing tributes to his youthful influences. Among the numbers he plays is this incredibly faithful rendition of Les Paul and Mary Ford’s How High The Moon. You can hear the original here. The video below is a live performance from Les Paul’s [...]
Share I have shared a lot of great shows, over the last year or so. Some are crowd pleasers, like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and the Stones. Some are a little more esoteric, like Camper Van Beethoven, Lou Reed, or Gary Moore. This show is the latter. Mahavishnu Orchestra was an insanely brilliant fusion band [...]
ShareLou Reed is one of those artists of whom I don’t really consider myself a fan, until I realize that I have 15 of their albums. Ok, I like Lou Reed. I love the Velvet Underground, and I love probably 50 of Lou Reed’s songs. He got out of Andy Warhol’s shadow, yet still remained [...]
ShareThis is a very special Led Zeppelin show, Youdopia. This is one of the only (maybe the only) live performance of Four Sticks, and Gallows Pole. I’m talking Led Zeppelin, not the later versions played by Jimmy Page & Robert Plant, during their Page/Plant tours. You don’t much better than Zeppelin in 1971. Robert Plant’s [...]
ShareI shocked to see that Gary Moore passed away over the weekend. I never really got into his music, but I always liked his playing. From his days with Thin Lizzy, to his bluesy stuff, and even his solos on the second Traveling Wilburys album, he never seemed to play badly. I am most familiar [...]
ShareI have a neat show to share with you, Youdopia. It is the first date of the ARMS Tour, and it features Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Joe Cocker, Paul Rodgers, Ronnie Lane, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, Kenney Jones, and more. Quite a show! This tour happened because Ronnie Lane (bass player for the [...]
Share Led Zeppelin 02 Gig Tribute To Ahmet Ertegun [UPDATE 9/13/12. It's official! Read about the theater and dvd release here] [UPDATE 9/5/12] Word is coming out that the release date will be in November of 2012. Hallelujah, Youdopia! I just heard, through the grapevine, that Led Zeppelin is going to release their super awesome [...]
ShareI did not make the artwork, Youdopia. Cast no aspersions. The concert itself is amazing. This one is more reminiscent than essential, because the quality is not astonishing. It’s perfectly listenable, but distant. I happily listened to the whole thing, in headphones, and thought it was awesome. The music is classic, and this is the [...]
ShareHappy Free Download Friday, my dear people of Youdopia. I haven’t had anything ready (ripped, tagged, converted to mp3, zipped, and uploaded) for a couple of weeks, so I let you starve. That’s how I am. The grey skies are gonna clear up, so put on a happy face. I have a great show for [...]
ShareThe Black Crowes are an amazing band, even though many haven’t heard them on the radio for 15 years. People of Youdopia, the Crowes are a fantastic live act, and they were rarely better than in 1995, on tour for their album Amorica. You might remember the album cover. It was Liz Phair’s delicious golden [...]
ShareHappy Free Download Friday! This week we have another Pink Floyd type show (the last one for awhile, I promise) but it’s so new and fresh that it still sizzles on the plate. It’s Roger Waters live in Toronto, performing The Wall. It’s amazing. I only downloaded this show because someone requested it (it’s the [...]
Share Happy Free Download Friday, my dear people of Youdopia! This week I’m sharing a super funky, nasty, scary, brutal set from Miles Davis. It’s more than funky, it’s dirty. Not in an overtly sexy way, but in the way of danger. It’s not as dark as his stuff from 1975, but damn. It grooves, [...]
Share Page and Plant were amazing in 1998. Jimmy Page was playing with virtuosity and fire, and the band was tighter than I’ve ever heard. So, of course Robert Plant bails and leaves. In December of 1998 P/P performed in Paris for an Amnesty International benefit, and their performance was amazing. I love Babe I’m [...]
Share Happy Free Download Friday! I’ve got another Pink Floyd show for you. This is on the heels of the live Dark Side of the Moon show i post a couple of weeks back. Live music is awesome, Youdopia, and I love sharing my music with you. Did you see the video of the Dave [...]
