Just got done watching VH1 Classics (way up there on my cable system  channel 473) Classic Albums  this episode focusing on Lous Transformer elpee from 72. (BTW  I highly recommend this show if they ever feature a record you love (Metallicas 91 self-titled comes up very late Mon. night / Tues morn; not for me, but perhaps for others out here)Ive very much enjoyed the Rumours, Nevermind, and Never Mind the Bullocks episodes Ive seen in the past. One of the best parts of every episode is the mixing counsel breakdown of parts of songs you may not have ever heard in the mix  in this one, the soaring Bowie backing vox from the end of Satellite and his doubling vox on NY Telephone Conversation isolated; in Rumours, Lindsey deconstructing Gold Dust Woman to pull out his own heartfelt sobbing/wailing (really  some sort of breakdown deep in the mix) at the very end) And, caught this tying-together (for me) nugget on the episode: John Halsey  then, a studio drummer; later a Rutle (Barry Wom/Barrington Womble)  also played on it. Even though I read the liner notes of "Transformer" both before AND then long after I knew the Pre-Fab Four, I had never caught that fact before (although, Toni Tenille (ie. The Captain and) doing backing vocals on The Wall  yep, I was stunned by that even back in 79). The show features contemporary interviews with Bowie, Mick Ronson, Lennie Kaye, Dave Stewart (plus Warhol figures and hangers-on, like Joe (never once gave it away/everybody had to pay and pay) Dallesandro, Holly (came from Miami, F-L-A) Woodlawn, and Gerard Malanga)Herbie Flowers, the session ace who played the famous bass part on Walk (demonstrating it as he talked about what he did back then; also plays some tuba, etc. where needed)and, of course, Uncle Lou himself (even doing some new acoustic versions of Perfect Day and others)Very nice! Michael Sweeney Also: Irony of ironies  in 72, AM radio here in the States (and the BBC, according to journos in the show) played the even when she was giving head line (mostly, seemingly because they had no idea what it actually meant); but in the show (produced first for the Beeb, I think), every time it is mentioned or played, they reverse-obscure ittimes haveuhchanged  for the worse?

This is a bit hard to remember given the number of brain cells I have burnt out in the intervening years , but I ' think ' it was Chicken Shack ( with Christine Mcvie of Fleetwood mac on vocals /piano ) She was then going by her maiden name of Christine Perfect . This was at Bridgend WMCA in South Wales - a real dump of a venue . Around 10 people were in attendance and we were the only ones who liked the band ( who were a seminal part of the british blues rock scene ) , the other audience members threw pennies at the stage , but we were welded to the apron of the tiny stage and ignored them . We helped carry the groups amps on and off stage from their commer van . it was a great gig . must have been september or october 67 as the band did not form until august 67 . If this wasn't my first rock gig then it was john mayall. fleetwood mac, aynsley dunbar retaliation et al at the far more prestigious Saville theatre in london in September 1967- this was one of the first Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac shows and the first time I saw Mick Taylor onstage- looking about 14 years old and he hardly looked at the audience the entire time he was onstage . He must have been 17 or so at the time but he looked much younger. One of these events was my first rock gig . but I think I saw the jacques loussier trio before this - they were a jazz trio who jazzed up bach- probably in 1965. and I was taken to see an pipe organ concert in london by my dad when I was about eleven .

Most of my early shows had at least a bit of embarrassment factor--it took a while to get exposed to better music, because it sure wasn't happening at my house. Fortunately my first show was so bad that it is at least a bit funny now--the Captain & Tennille, back in '75 when I was 11, at Carowinds amusement park (free show played for less than a dozen people). The first band that I went out of my way to see was Kansas, in 1978. Several shows later, in 1980, I finally saw a concert that I can mention without cringing a bit--Frank Zappa. Marc One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh no," I said, "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.

I was 18 when I saw my first concert, March of 1971. Fleetwood Mac was the featured act and Black Sabbath opened up for them. FM had just lost their sometimes singer and Elmore James style slide guitar player/jokester Jeremy Spencer, who was abducted by The Children of God cult. Peter Green came back to FM mid-tour to more than fill in for Jeremy. Lots of long jams with Peter Green and Danny Kirwin. I can't remember if Bob Welch was with them on stage, I'll have to look it up on FM's website. Chirtine McVie was though. Anyway, Peter Green was one of my guitar gods, so it was great that my first ever concert included him. My second concert 2 months later was an all day festival which included The Allman Brothers, so I got to see Duane Allman in May of 1971, 5 months before he died. Two for two as Duane was another of my guitar gods.
