Eric Clapton is a very overrated musician. A tragedy really — he is an incredible guitar player and a master of his blues techniques. But he wastes all his talents on sappy, listless love songs and crap like that. Really inane crap. He is, after you peel away all the layers, just an overblown studio musican who happened to become more than he should have been due to his being in the right places at the right times.....

This is just
G :puke: A :puke: R :puke: B :puke: A :puke: G :puke: E

Ahhhh I thought i recognised the song :D Good cool song good cool film... Was it the band playing on stage? Or were they actors miming?

sure sounds like poe.

This guy sounds like he's trying to sound like the Beatles or something.

Snicker

This is a song I associate with getting to know RP, about 3 years ago. An RP classic!

Sorry W, but if God actually was from Texas, the initials on his harp would be SRV.

I have to say I don't understand why Bill doesn't always play this song all the way through. RP is very indulgent of a lot of long-format stuff that isn't as good as this. Everytime I hear this song here and it stops midway through, I feel cheated.

On a related note: This is a very well-crafted album from beginning to end, and really rewards a full listen. I wonder if once or twice a week RP could play an album all the way through? There are great albums out there that are more than the sum of their parts. If it was done at the same day & time every week, I would definitely put it on my weekly schedule.

Well said , Mugro...Sometimes the cultural differences are so deep that people just don't even make an effort trying to understand and hear the beauty

Sounds a lot like the Devlins Waiting

And all my days are trances,
And all my nightly dreams
Are where thy grey eye glances,

From "To One in Paradise" Edgar Allan Poe

So anyway...may be can all get on with the one true universal truth taught by all great prophets from Jesus, to Buddha and Mohammad: Love they neighbor and boogie down! :D/

Enough disco crap, already

Ahhhhhhh, I love this band

I'm all for fretless bass, but most of the time it sounds like he's tuning up a new set of strings.

agreed. the original is the best.

I want to hear more like this on RP!

A must-have album for everyone's collection! Great guitar work on this cut!

I'm only 10 minutes into it, but I like the 3 notes I've heard so far. When the first bar finishes, later tonight, I'll know more.

Art... music.. IS political. If it were not, it would lose it's capacity to evoke discourse, even a moment's ponder. That you may disagree with the socio-political stance of Bono does not in itself make him an idiot. Rather, that you would deem to comment upon his stance means that his art is efffective... it caused you to ponder and respond. Is U2 plotical? Well, you too.

Of people who hate the Grateful Dead, they can generally be divided into two groups:

The first group is made of people who really just don't like the music -- and that's fine. There is no music that exists that pleases every single person. Even the Beatles just don't do it for some people.

Then there is the group who hates the Grateful Dead just because they think they are supposed to hate the Grateful Dead.

Greg is an acquired taste, somewhat akin to Dylan. I can't stand Dylan but others revere him. I like Greg while others loathe him. Different strokes for different folks.
I like that RP plays stuff that might not appeal to me but appeals to others. I'll put up with the bad stuff (IMHO) in order to hear the good stuff, some of which I might not necessarily have on CD/LP.

Great stuff... any BNL is good BNL... and this is classic stuff. BNL are just great musicians. They give you a reason to laugh every now and then, and there's nothing wrong with that. Their albums have moments of humor, sadness, excitement, and expression. Such is life. :D Every one of their songs is a jewel in my opinion.

I guess they're not for everybody, but BNL gets my thumbs up.

Quite obviously I'm a musical freak or oddity of some sort. I cannot stand Paul Simon. It started with 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover. Since then, there has been absolutely nothing this man can do that makes any difference to me.


All apologies to the Simon worshipers.

A great band that has been overlooked by everyone but their fans. F.Y.I., they were the first band on stage in that goofy movie, Roadhouse with Pat Swazye (sp?) before the Jeff Healy band came on. :D

If we have to listen to something other than rock (which I don't mind at all) why can't it be jazz instead of this stuff?

Well, I've sat and listened to it again, and, yes, I'm convinced that Paul has a backing group of hens!
