There is a "Soundwave" broo-ha-ha going on. 

It has been cancelled for next year and looks like this year is under threat.

Damn - I bought a new black t-shirt and have been in an anti-tanning booth ( makes me white and pastey) in anticipation.

    If you already bought tickets, I'm pretty sure you should be able to negotiate with your bank for the refund and they will chase it up from the promoters.  At least, this is what I heard in a radio discussion regarding this matter today (the agency was saying they will refund customers as soon as the promoters return the ticket sales money to them, so the bank refund might be the fastest and safest option).

    Jeepers. And here I was saving water bottles and looking at potential creative (scribble) artwork in the pursuit of ink poisoning. 

    I guess my perforated ear drums can remain perforated for another year, without any vain hope of recovery.

    The greatest duet since Sonny and Cher

    The greatest live performance 

    https://youtu.be/0omja1ivpx0

    To my mind, Murder Ballads is one of the greatest albums recorded... however, I'm afraid Queen have never done it for me... in fact, I would go so far as to say their supposed masterpiece Bohemian Rhapsody is one of the most pompous pieces of crap ever committed to vinyl/CD.

    The Queen song (Radio Goo Goo) isn't a masterpiece but Freddie's captivation of a packed out Wembley Stadium is as good as I have seen. I love it more for the theatre than the song itself.

    I missed that concert... I went to the first Sunbury in January 1972... interesting sums it up best, I think.  Some great music, but lots of drunk yobbos beating the crap out of each other and lots of stoners who didn't seem to know where they were.

    Swamp rock?

    I suppose CCR's music falls into that genre ... read recently that the band was from San Francisco. As what can happen, there was a major falling out within the band that still remains ... a brilliant group, all the same.

     

     

    And thanks to JJ for the tip on how to post up youtube clips ...

    ... On the youtube page there's a share button and an embed option. If you copy that code, then in the demonland post click source and paste it. After clicking source again it should appear.

    A fabulous talent ... lead singer and lead guitar (many of their songs had great and unique riffs) Rolling Stone magazine has him high up in their all-time categories in both areas.

    The bit I find quite intriguing is that the band emanated from San Francisco. But then again, a lot of music has a lot of it's influence from the South - esp jazz, rock, country music, blues etc. Not all of course, but a large chunk.

    Here's one of my favourites from the band ... and I really like this particular youtube clip as well ...

    Great memories Maca. I had the single or EP and Green River was the B side but that was my favourite song.

    Went to a  great gig yesterday - Billy Miller has released a new album called "Australia" - love the album ( hate the title ).

    He played the album start to finish yesterday and was ably backed up by Bill McDonald, Johnny Annis, James Black, Rebecca Barnard and his son, Eddie.

    He wrote a couple of songs with Paul Kelly ( in a rain delay of the cricket !) so Paul Kelly was also on stage with him and sang.

    The second set was him doing some of his stuff from yesteryear including stuff from "The Spaniards"  - he had Mick Peeling singing with him.

     

    ( also saw John Butler Trio on Saturday night - the man is a genius)

    Here's a couple that I came across randomly ... don't know a great deal about either band but both songs have got a nice driving rhythm ... could have almost gone on the jazz thread but this thread will do.

    I'm not a U2 fan by any means, but With or Without You consistently brings up a lifetime worth of memories.

    Anyway, here's some Can and Rocket from the Tombs:

    The first Chicago Transit Authority album was brilliant... they were a real contrast to Blood Sweat and Tears who were a very smooth sounding outfit... CTA at that time had a guitarist who was more influenced by Hendrix than any jazz greats and consequently the sound had a real edge to it.  It was a shame what they became though.

    And what Chicago became ended up appealing to many others (who were perhaps born later and missed their early stuff) Music is like that.

    As an example, Steely Dan started off as a (sort of) commercial band which I was a bit beige about and then went non-commercial with 'The Royal Scam' & 'Aja' (which is the stuff that I really really loved) and then went a bit commercial again with 'Gaucho' (which I really liked but didn't love)   And there are numerous people who don't like Steely Dan at all - it takes all types.

    It's definitely a generational thing and we are all heavily influenced by the period in our lives of say the ages of 15 - 25 (or thereabouts) ... especially around that 17-22 age period.  After that, anything new has to be really good for one to accept it readily (IMO) ... or, the music has to remind us or take one back to when we were heavily influenced.  Over the years, I've learned to appreciate almost anything.

    That's my take on it anyway 'ht' ... and then there's the brass influence in rock that seems to only appeal to a certain amount of people.  To this day, I still am blown away by the 'Peter Gunn theme' ... Tinsley Waterhouse used to do a great version when I used to see them at the Station Hotel (Prahran)

    Here's a couple more with that brass influence ... more BST and Chicago (the first clip is a little 'different') ... btw, the other music thread that 'nutbean' started is a beaut - couple of really good venues there with a lot of favourites from the past appearing (not forgetting of course the jazz thread kicked off by JJ)

    I agree with what you're saying Macca... I was more expressing my personal disappointment :-)  However, if you want brass at its finest in a rock n roll context, try this on for size...

    Wow, great stuff hardtack!

    The great thing with music and all it's genre's is there is a seemingly endless supply - in many ways we're spoilt for choice ... discovering* new music doesn't have to mean it was made recently. I preferred the earlier stuff from Chicago as well ... I've always found it fascinating how a number of bands/artists run out of ideas where as others just change direction and can often remain successful by doing so.

    *With regards to the movies, great books, some TV etc etc, the same discoveries go on ... (especially with jazz) I tend to treat it all the same way whether it's new or old.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
