A little update. Since retiring from the relentless money funnel of class racing I have finally been able to finish my decades long project of having a "system' capable of emulating actual live concerts. Admittedly, I could have built a new SS motor for what I have in this, but wowzer, its amazing.,,36 Speakers that surround you, 6000 watts and 4 double Subwoofers with another 1000 watts each. Last weekend during a snowstorm we had Todd Quinn,along with his Wife and Dad over for a 2 hour concert. It's a nice way to spend a couple hours with friends (of course some do a little drinking). Todd is a very well known engine builder in OHIO and I do a lot of dynoing out there at his shop on the Holley stuff. This selection is one of the good ones,.. By that I mean concerts that are recorded in 5.1 surround sound (our system is 7.4), mixed well, and feature some great performances like Beck and Clapton.
BTW, the Bass player is Jeff's Daughter.. If any of you guys are ever in Central Ohio and want to come have a listen.. your welcome to do so. .

That is hard to outdo right there!!! Wonder what year that was. Both Eric and Jeff look a bit younger than they are now. An amazing era of great music and artists a lot of us have grown up with.

Glad you liked it. I agree. Here's another one off the same concert disc. I might just go downstairs and fire the whole dang thing up !! LOL...
This one showcases his daughters Bass playing capabilities a bit.

More cowbell...


Ballad of Easy Rider is the eighth album by the American rock group, The Byrds, and was released in October, 1969.

The album is notable for being the second and final album to feature the band line-up of Roger McGuinn, Clarence White, Gene Parsons and John York.The album also featured John York's composition, "Fido", a song written about a stray dog that the bass player encountered in a Kansas City hotel room.

Most people don't realize it's a cowbell. But it most certainly is !
And Mike I didn't know who did that tune, but it got played a lot down here too..

Wore out " Last Child' on my cassette.
Jeff, this one and "Devil with a Blue Dress" were more popular for Mitch.
The guitarist on the left, is Jim McCarty. He played some heavy blues later with a band called Cactus featuring Tim Bogart, Carmine Appice and Rusty Day. He is still active today.

I almost forgot cowbell...
Toad`s Place in New Haven, Ct. is without a doubt, the most famous music cafe in the state. Dylan, The Stones, Billy Joel, Springsteen, Joe Walsh, Allman Brothers etc etc, all played there. On Feb.15,1983, Mountain opened their set with this. The Stones` Steel Wheels Tour kicked off there in 1989. Check out this article: https://yalealumnimagazine.com/artic...-played-toad-s

While we're on the subject of New England acts, this folk rock duo has been together for 50 years.. They made several albums on major labels, but never had a hit record, per se.
If you were on the East Coast in the 70's ,and listened to alternative FM music, then you heard this song >

Some of the New England bands are pretty obscure by now...Without a Wiki page,..well that tells you something..This band was out of the Amherst scene, I believe. Obviously influenced by The Byrds, Eagles, they did manage to get the second cut here on the radio in the Boston, Hartford, NYC corridor. They never really toured but they played a lot of clubs in the area..

Pause for some R&R ;-)

These guys were pretty much a cover band, but played a lot up and down I 91 , from New Haven, thru Hartford, Springfield..They had a loyal following and put on a good show.
Their hook line was "Tirebiter..A band you can sink your teeth into"

Re: Musical Tastes
 
We would visit two other clubs, more often than Toads: The Oxford Ale House and the Arcadia Ballroom. Mostly because Toad`s was usually too crowded and tough parking. The bands at these two New Haven venues were very good, especially the Ballroom. Michael Bolton (Bolotin at that time and a blues/rock singer) was a regular at AB. We were usually pleasantly surprised.This is Hawkins Road doing a Dave Mason cover.

Another "near miss" New England band who almost made it big while the Eagles were sucking up all the oxygen.
We used to see them at The Rocking Horse in Hartford.
They had quite a well deserved following
