BFrank Posted May 18, 2019 Report Posted May 18, 2019 Just discovered the Brit prog band, The Pineapple Thief. Very much in the same vein as Porcupine Tree. Even MORE so now that the band includes PT drummer Gavin Harrison. Quote

Aggie87 Posted May 19, 2019 Report Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) I suppose this isn't really rock, but I caught a Terri Hendrix and Lloyd Maines show here in CC on Friday night. So I've been listening to some of her albums. Love Terri, she's a wonderful singer, songwriter, and player. And Lloyd Maines is, in my opinion, a musical force, and something of an open secret in Texas music. Has played with, recorded with, and produced just about everyone in the Texas/Americana/alt country scene. And he's the father of Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks.

Dave James Posted May 20, 2019 Report Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) An album called "Friends of Extinction" from an early 80's band called The Dinosaurs. Their line-up included Peter Albin of Big Brother and the Holding Company, John Cipollina of Quicksilver Messenger Service, Spencer Dryden of Jefferson Airplane, Robert Hunter of the Grateful Dead, Barry Melton of Country Joe and the Fish and keyboardist Merl Saunders from the Saunders-Garcia Band. Interesting music from sort of a who's who of late 60's San Francisco rock. Edited May 20, 2019 by Dave James Quote

felser Posted May 22, 2019 Report Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) I think this group was bigger here in Philly than anywhere else in the world. Favorites of WMMR, the major Philly FM free-form/progressive rock programming station back then, and I saw them at a sold out concert at the Mann Music Center ca. 1976, and they were great. "Mother Russia" is one of my favorite cuts of all-time. Never have figured out what they are talking about in the lyrics (deep, man, far out!) to the title track of this one, but the song sure does SOUND great, fantastic bass and keyboards, and the voice/vocals of Annie Haslam back then was one of the greatest wonders of creation. In case anyone wants to take a shot at the song meaning, here are some of the lyrics: Travel the days of freedom Roads leading everywhere Come with me now and show how you care Follow the dying embers Cross on the paths that they lay Breath of the past the earths yesterday Clear your mind maybe you will find That the past is still turning Circles sway echo yesterday Ashes burning ashes burning Colours are fading starlight Silver the way to find Walking the shadows, there in our mind Changing the order slowly Leaving the mist of time Fingers are holding fragments of mine Imagine the burning embers They glow below and above Your sins you won't remember And all you'll find there is love Ashes are burning brightly The smoke can be seen from afar So now you're seeing how far Ashes are burning the way Ashes are burning the way Edited May 22, 2019 by felser Quote
