What are you listening too?

Marshall Tucker Band & Ry Cooder
Saw Marshall Tucker perform in Tallahassee where I was pretending to attend school. I was also a big Jethrow Tull fan, so the flute got me.
 
America, coined the lyrical phrase Purple Rain in one of their songs. Saw tbem with poco and both bands didnt dissapoint
Saw Poco at Memphis, Fair Grounds free,Cheers ss
 
1998, I was a 19 year old kid from Nova Scotia visiting England for a couple months visiting my sister who moved there. After being there for about a month I found out one day from my sister that my Mom had left my Dad and moved to Seattle, out of the blue. The home I left behind was gone forever.

I'll never forget smoking super skunk that night listening to a "Now this is music" compilation album that had just come out, trying to process it. These songs from that album still smack me down. Formative years, for better or worse. Lots of good and bad memories.

Life and music, music and life so intertwined those formative years when we saw what was going down and thought, 'isn't life strange, I'd never do dat when I grow up.' Then you turn around and realize that the whole growing up never really stops because different insights hit you at different times and sometimes interesting people pop up and say, "hey, hit this!"
 
You're right...I meant dreams 2 chord song.
 
The Band has always been a favorite of mine.
Standing by your window in pain....now tell me hon what you done with the gun? The Weight...I've been listening to Otis Redding, Little Feet and making brownies tonight to celebrate. Last night I dreamt that people had hired me to remodel their house and I was sitting their listening and thinking {No idea how to do any of the things they are describing} how to weasel out of this one. "Where are you taking Rock n' Roll in the future?" said a young Robbie Robertson to his guru -- Mr Bob Dylan. The Band and Dylan, Dylan and the Dead and it was good.
 
Nothing much you can say about this one, it's near pure perfection in my eyes, ears.
Laynes vocals at 1:10 just blow me the fuck away.. right away. Probably my all time favorite performance from them.
