Mats Olsson. Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 Bunny, pick ONE, only! Me? Haven't made up my mind yet but it's leaning towards one of the classic albums a certain group recorded in Düsseldorf. /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want?

Philip OKeefe Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Easy - Sgt Pepper. I frequently think Revolver is the better album overall, but Pepper was such a groundbreaking record, with so many classic moments that I feel it would have been great to have been there for that.

And they were still recording on a 4 track, right? Real interesting to see them getting around that "limitation". Also, at that time, the Beatles members were pretty much still getting along and recording together. Otherwise, any of Robert Johnson's recordings. It'd be freaky to see his eye light up in balls of fire as he recorded - ya know, cuz of the deal he made with the devil. aka riffing Double Post music: Strip Down http://rimspeed.com http://loadedtheband.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salyphus Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Yeah I have to agree on the Sgt. Pepper choice myself, for pretty much the same reasons as Phil (and then some hehehe ) Meanwhile I will hold onto the Lewishon book as the next best thing. Although there are some classic Jazz performances that would be absolutely incredible to have witnessed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alndln Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Don't remember the name of the album,but it's Stravinsky with the NBC Orchestra recorded sometime in the 50's after visiting Harlem and writing various scores of his version of blues/jazz impressions.Iv'e had many albums stolen from me or lost,but this one..........,and to see the session in person?

ihategarybettman Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I'm sure there are plenty of others that I could think of, but the one that occurred to me now is the moment in the Sun Studio when Elvis, Scotty, and Bill decided to get "real, real gone for a change" on "Well, That's Alright Mama."

coyote Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I was in the audience when Jeff Beck Live with the Jan Hammer Group was recorded. That's good enough for me (along with some minor recordings I played on and got paid for ) I used to think I was Libertarian. Until I saw their platform; now I know I'm no more Libertarian than I am RepubliCrat or neoCON or Liberal or Socialist. This ain't no track meet; this is football.

Mats Olsson. Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 I've made up my mind now. First I considered one of Kraftwerks landmark albums, Prince's Sign'O'The Times, Brian Eno's work with DEVO or Talking Heads was also awesome, or almost anything made by Frank Zappa in the 70's. I wish that I was present during the whole making of Quincy Jones' Back on the Block album. A truly amazing project, all aspects considered. The album reeks talent, craftsmanship and love of music! /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!

Kendrix Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Only one? Imppossible to pick just one. Perhaps the Electric Ladyland voodoo child live jam with Hendrix J. Cassidy, S. Windwood.

Philip OKeefe Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I know you said "only one", but I just thought of another one I had to mention - Derek & The Dominoes' Layla sessions at Criteria, with Tom Dowd producing and engineering. Clapton, Allman AND the chance to sit and watch Tom at work? Priceless! Unfortunately, since Tom died not too long ago, I'll never get the opportunity to meet the guy - yet alone watch him work and ask him a few questions.

Groovepusher Sly Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Poinciana from Ahmad Jamal at the Pershing: But Not for Me. My earliest recolection of a tune that made me want to play music, and piano. That one song, I think, gave me my sense of harmony and a feel for how to groove and " just let it flow" that has served me well to this day. (Another song that was seminal in the same way was Caravan by Duke Ellington) And, just like a Jays potato chip, I can't name just one. Beatles, yep. Motown, Chess, Brunswick. But for the real deal, here's a few I wish I was at... Jimi "Are You Experienced" (album) Sly "Dance To The Music"/"Stand" (album) James Brown "Cold Sweat" There's so many.
