Todd Rundgrun" Utopia Live !
I 1st heard this in the late 1990's in Austin Texas my Buddy Bill turned me onto this cd i was so flipped out...I could not believe how weird and wonderful this record was..its all over the place musically ...I hope you folks love it !
Below Yes ..Heart of The Sunrise....
I 1st heard this band in High School in the late 1970's early 1980's and I loved them..but when we put our own band together...and were stretching out song wise we really dugg deep into Yes and Studied thier songcraft..an amazing band with positive lyrics many people love !
This band Rush...was the a huge part of my Teenage Years...this song was a mind blower when I 1st heard it....it made you just feel totally killer..and happy....very kool stuff for an impressionable teen !
Flash (above) is one of those bands that i had collected in my stash of cd'rs from friends collections....in the early 2000's about 2002 or 2003....a buddy in Brownsville Texas named Manuel...told me about this band...he had been listening tothem since the early 1970's....well he also gave me about 20 to 30 more cd'rs at the same time he gave me this one...it was alot of music it fell through the cracks and gathered the proverbial dust in my record collection archives until one day...i stumbled upon it...in about 2007 or 2008...and ..made an effort to listen to them whole heartedly...when I did I was totally surprized...with the very streamlined..powerful sound these guysmade with super awesome vocals...I could not believe it....and to this day..in 2012 I regularly play them on my radio show and in my car...for fun...great band..!
Black Sabbath (above) 1 st album was so influental in my upbringing...its not even funny..a total breakaway album from conventional rock at the time it came out 1969....it has blown minds ever since...are they heavy ?yes ! are the psych rock? yes! are they progressive? yes! just an amazing band ...1st heard them as a sophmore in high school ...allways a great album to jam out to. The Warning is a great song....
second hour.....of Psych Rock 101
Pink Floyd..Astronomy Domine..is one of those songs...I didnt ..hear until...I was deep into playing in my own rock band I was fully aware of Pink Floyd..but..I didnt ...get ...to listen to this until the late 1990's and when I did I loved it alot..very trippy..psychedlic to the bone...wonderful song....Syd Barret...really....lays the ...strangeness down on this song..excellent !
The lead off song from Astra's debut album in 2009...I 1st heard this album in Austin Texas in Summer 2009 when i was living there I dont remember how I stumbled upon this but it shocked me...probably looking for psych rock music in You Tube...I found the video for this song...The Rising of The Black Sun ....it was a shocker....thick greasy..riffs...heavy drums..effects like crazy...flutes !!! i was blown away bad...it was a pleasent surprize to find this new band from San Diego..that played really good Proggy/Psych rock...excellent stuff..!
Grand Funk Railroad Live Album...song Paranoid.....very early 1980's...maybe1980/ 1981...I was bitten by the rock and roll bug..in high school...I walked into MusicLand ..Records and Tapes in The Sunrise Mall in Brownsville Texas...I asked The Manager...Do you know anything about Heavy Metal ,Acid Rock & Hard Rock....? (he was wearing a dark blue suit blue tie and light blue shirt..very proper...but he had longish hair...ha ha !) he said..Yes I sure do...The I asked Him What is the Heaviest Band that you know of..? The most hard rock band ever...? the most powerful..? and he said ..That would be this album right here.....Its Excellent..raw live and powerfull.. your gonna love it..! and He pulled out..Grand Funk Railroads..Live Album a Double Album at that...I said oh Yeah..? I was Stunned by the Picture on The Cover a guy with super long hair flailing away...(Mark Farner..soon to be one of my biggest GuitarHeros ha ha !) .on a guitar and the other 2 guys ..also freaking out....!! He said this is your album...its great..its excellent..its very Heavy...! I said ok Ill take it....as a young Teen I paid for it took it home...and was completely floored..by this wicked and beautiful noise coming from the speakers..! the guys could sing..they could play..and the crowd was going nuts...and the songs were so friggin kool....man I hit the jackpot..! ha ha ! Paranoid...The Song... was so Acid Rock sounding so extreme so out there...I just could not believe it ! I still love this resord to this day.....
(((((((.when I moved to Los Angeles California...in the 1990's there was a record shop in Downey California ..called Middle Earth Records...and ..at the time...Grand Funk was hard to find..or didnt exist..in cd format....well I found a Dutch Import Cd Pressing..and it cost 50 buxx...... !!! I didnt even think twice I shelled out the cash right then and there...I didnt even flinch at the crazy overblown price..for this Double Album.....I love this album so much !!..thinking about it now....I made more money back in the 1990's selling guitars in a Guitar shop in Los Angeles....than in 2012 ..subbing High School classes in South Texas !!!!!!....with 2 college degrees...something wrong with that picture.....))))))
and I know somewhere out there Im turing on some kid to a great band and a great song, just over the top just like I love it ! ha ha ! Grand Funk Railroad Rules !!!
Above Jerry Garcia Band Song The Deal.....
I have been into the Grateful Dead since I discovered them and really started listening to them while working in Downey Music Center in Downey California.....some shady looking guys came in one time....and sold us a huge box of CD'S...and this album called Grateful Dead ..Hundred Year Hall..Live 1972 in Germany....was in the stash....well one weekday afternoon...I felt like listening to something differant and popped this into the Giant Stereo rig we had in the store...man was I totally ...mezmerized..and lulled and ..seduced into the Deads sound I loved it...!! I could not get enough!...a band i had known about since high school...but nobody had ever told me about them...until I stumbled upon them on my own...I have been hooked for life on The Grateful Dead..! ..This song is The Jerry Garcia Band ...live in Oakland California...1989..excellent Barn Burner of a song Jerry is amazing on the guitar some of his best work ! enjoy !
