SIMON PHILLIPS / PROTOCOL 4 - SOLITAIRE - STUDIO LIVE SESSION

Simon Phillips: drums
Greg Howe: guitar
Ernest Tibbs: bass
Otmaro Ruiz: keys

Enjoyed Simon and his friends.  Those last 2 minutes showed how lyrical drums can be.

Yes, that drum solo at the end was really nice!  And it benefits from the other players playing those recurring lines.

Jack Bruce

Cleverly composed instrumental tune... no idea why the title. Must be a backstory.

Fleetwood Mac, in happier times. I watched this whole concert over the past couple nights...








Hard to believe it was almost 20 years ago. They were fresh off a new record, and everyone was lovey-dovey again. Christine McVie was noticably absent, but at least the Mac was back.

Steely Dan - The Second Arrangement

I'm posting this primarily for the historical significance.  Briefly, this is a song that was recorded for the Gaucho album.  The original was accidentally erased, and when the band tried to record it again they were unhappy with the results; thus the song never made the album.  However, the engineer on the session had taken a cassette copy of the track home with him.

Decades later, after the engineer's death, his family found the cassette, kept it safe and unplayed, and eventually took it to a studio to be restored.  Longer story shorter, this is the eventual result; and comments suggest that Steely Dan fans are quite happy with the recovered tune.

Oh you mean this...



First time I heard this song there were 6 of us in a cabin in the Northwoods - dosed some shrooms and just grooving on life.   This is a remote, no electricity, no running water, out-house tucked back in the woods and a beautiful lake right out back.  Only 3 cabins on the east side, tucked in the middle of the Chequamegon forest.  Isolated surrounded by nature, great place to trip....

Anyhow - listening to this whole album on a battery powered boom box - the ending of the song went on and on and on.  It's the last song on the disc, after it finished it felt like there was a half hour of silence before a collective ( and quiet) "whoa" was emitted from the group.   

Followed by laughter and tears rolling down the cheeks, then we probably went outside and wandered in the forest.

- reminiscing on that event brings a melancholy mood, life seemed simpler and the world was less messed up back then.
