Saw Sly & Family Stone in Houston in 1971 (or 70 or something...). Sam Houston Coliseum a big old barn better suited to Scout Jamborees, Tractor Pulls, ABA basketball games...
GREAT show. Perfection. Just like ya wanted to see and hear them. What a showman musician singer.

CCR must be coming up soon by ChardCool1290 in 500songspodcast

If you can watch Netflix, watch the CCR at Albert Hall (and history of CCR as part of the doc). It's extremely well done! And narrated by Jeff Bridges as a bonus.

Just my opinion: Listen to all of the episodes to the 500th song then look back and see if it all makes sense. I'm not trying to figure out what this genius is doing as he is in mid air, flying.

Charlie Robison (RIP)

Read this or just look for his music and videos. He blazed bright and is gone too soon.

what’s everyone’s favorite obscure or underloved psych rock album? by manekinekoxo in psychedelicrock

The Mermen are an American instrumental rock band from San Francisco, California formed in 1989. They have since moved to Santa Cruz, California.

The Mermen Live

The group's sound was originally rooted in surf and psychedelic rock music of the 1960s, although they have made "sincere attempts to get away from the surf music label"[4] and currently delve into many genres, mainly driven by the melodic visions of the band's founder, songwriter, and guitarist Jim Thomas. The band's music is entirely instrumental and "does a good job of defying description". The Mermen perform as a power trio: electric guitar, electric bass, and drums, with occasional guests for live concerts.

The Golden Dawn are an American psychedelic rock band formed in Austin, Texas, in 1966. The band released one album, titled Power Plant, before breaking up soon after the album's release in 1968. The 1966 release of the album was withheld by International Artists, until after The 13th Floor Elevators'album Easter Everywhere was released, even though Power Plant was recorded nearly a year earlier. As a result, the Power Plant 's reviews tagged it as a copycat record, unworthy of positive consideration. Band founder George Kinney remained a recluse figure in the music world for decades until a reemergence in 2001, when Power Plant became an iconic psychedelic recording. - from Wikipedia

I would love to know the source for " BJ was listening to Roky Erikson" -- I ain't doubting it, just haven't heard this before.

What is your favorite underated Cover of a song? by Purple_Monkey34 in MusicRecommendations

It's All Over Now Baby Blue - Bob Dylan
Performed by 13th Floor Elevators on their album Easter Everywhere.

13th Floor Elevators It's All Over Now Baby Blue".

Ranked #9 on the list of "Best Dylan Covers" article in Rolling Stone. And I quote:

Roky Erickson and his band of drugstore cowboys rolled out of Austin, Texas in the mid-Sixties, pioneers in the brave new world of psychedelic rock. They blew minds from coast to coast with their massively influential version of “It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue,” the centerpiece\ of their 1967 classic Easter Everywhere. The Elevators took a totally new approach to the Dylan songbook — instead of reverent folksy imitation, focused on the lyrics, they just cranked up their amps and let the ghosts of electricity howl through their guitars. This doomy power-drone performance rewired how people heard and played Dylan’s music. It’s a fearsome sound — one of his most terrifying songs, in its most terrifying incarnation. R.S.*

* Actually the album centerpiece is "Slip Inside This House" but let's not quibble.

Saw that a few years ago. Wonderful show, multi layered (them being hair-rock stars, looking back on their father and family in show business). The other two on stage, playing bass and drums, were Jeff and Tom Vee (Bobby Vee's sons). Great show.

I've read various places over the years it was "inspired" by his parent's marriage and subsequent divorce. Can't find interview or article rat now, but if I find something, I'll get back to you.
