Also fitting well for these days. Decades that i heard The Clash.. like them much better now though. Beyond the garage sound this is some real good music and melodies, and of course those texts..
And The Scorpions, from Hannover. Saw them several times live, looong ago.

I had never heard this before but it sounds a lot like the Ventures. The Ventures were a great band and their style and music has been copied a great deal. |

Now to something less arguable, today, June 1, is the 50th anniversary of the release of The Beatles landmark classic groundbreaking album (think that covers most of the adjectives), Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. (And, yes, Steve, I know it was leaked/released about a week earlier in the UK, but the really wide release was June 1, 1967. ) To say the album was a major sensation at the time of its release and a continuing influence on all genres of music is a bit of an understatement. The album was played on just about every type of radio station, rock, Top 40, underground, etc., operating at the time. Publications, from Time to The Christian Science Monitor to highly respected musical journals all weighed in on the impact of the album. Most albums are just product; Pepper was an event. I remember you couldn't walk through San Francisco or Los Angeles without hearing some part of the album playing on radios in all sorts of places. The album just seemed to strike a chord with people of all generations and types. There really hasn't been a work of music since then with the same impact and scope and, given the current state of music, in general, it may be a long time before another work equals or exceeds Pepper... Here's a clip of an early recording of the backing track for the opening of Pepper with The Beatles playing live: Here is an interesting breakdown of the tracks on the opening song: To further underscore the impact of Pepper in its time, here is a clip of a performer who was just coming up and would, in his own work, go on to be a major musical pioneer and influence, himself; he had just gotten a copy of Pepper and was so blown away by the album, he played a bit of the opening during his live performance that night, and he would often play this number in his live concerts throughout his sadly short career: <O>

@ Eichhörnchen:
Many thanx for the Al Green clip; one of my favorite performers and I've always like the sounds of his arrangements, particularly the rhythm section; can't beat that great floor tom work...

One thing I forgot to add about the Hendrix clip: the gig was on June 4. 1967, three days after the official release of Pepper and, in the audience, were two big Hendrix fans -- Paul McCartney and George Harrison... Quote:

There's no music in this post, so sorry if I indulge a bit about something that's been on my mind lately. About week ago, I found out someone who was little-known to those outside the LA/Hollywood music scene but who was a rather prominent figure for decades within the scene passed away at the age of 93 years. His name was Mario Maglieri and he was one of the founders of The Whisky-A-Go-Go club, The Roxy Theater, and The Rainbow Bar & Grill, all on one block on the fabled Sunset Strip. Here are a few of the obituaries written about Mario:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ed-age-93.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/09/a...o-go.html?_r=0 http://www.latimes.com/entertainment...505-story.html http://www.rollingstone.com/music/ne...-at-93-w480821 As you can see from the above, Mario was known from the UK to NYC to SF and more. I had the great privilege of meeting and knowing Mario back in the mid 70s when he opened the Rainbow. I used to go to the Whisky quite often and the Roxy occasionally (they were all in about a half block of space on the same side of the street), so, when the Rainbow opened, it was only natural it would become the preferred place to eat and hang. On nights bands were playing at the Whisky or the Roxy, there would be a line waiting to get in the Rainbow. One night, a group of friends and myself were waiting in line. Mario would often come outside the Rainbow and chat with the people who were waiting; on that night he stopped and spent a few minutes just shooting the breeze with us. We were surprised when he told us we shouldn't have to wait and he proceeded to pull us out of the line and walked us up to the front door and told the doorman/bouncer to let us in at once; we thanked him and went in to enjoy a meal of the Rainbow's famous pizza... Some nights later, I was in the Rainbow line again, alone, and Mario came out, saw me, and again insisted I go in immediately. This happened a few more times when I was either alone or with friends. He even let us into the upstairs VIP area, a coveted place in the local music scene. My friends and myself began to speculate that perhaps Mario mistakenly thought were we some sort of celebrities or band members. I really began to feel guilty about the situation and I finally approached him and said "Mario, I think you may be mistaking me and my friends for something we're not. You know, I'm nobody." Marion gave me a smile, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Kid, everybody's somebody. You just enjoy."... I had a lot of good times at the Rainbow and had quite a few good chats with Mario. There are so many people who are part of the fabric of the history of Rock music, who are little known outside the scene, but who are every bit the heart and soul of the music; they may not pick up a guitar, bang a drum, sing a song, or sell millions of records, but their presence means as much to the scene as those who do; Mario was very much a part of the heart and soul of the Strip and meant very much to those who were there and knew him... I still think I'm very much of a nobody, but you, Mario, you were very, very much a somebody. Thank you and rest in a very well-deserved peace... <O>

I bought "Smile" when it first appeared and caught up with the other albums as quickly as I could:
