So which members do you like? Not really Peter Green, not so much Danny Kirwan, not Christine McVie...is Stevie Nicks the answer? Just curious. |

It really does sound like I don't like Peter Green and Danny doesn't it. Really I do...I love almost all of Danny's songs, just not Dust or Danny's Chant (not even a song if you ask me). I even like his solo stuff... Actually when I've gone through all this I'm going to maybe listen to all the Peter Green solo albums. I like most of those except End of the Game, Kolors and Katmandu - A Case For the Blues, and the only one out of those I can't tolerate is End of the Game. |

Oh and on the PG solo stuff, I'm not sure he had much input into the Splinter Group stuff either but it is greatly enjoyable. Perhaps my problem is that I don't have the musical education or the wide musical taste that a lot of you do on here (I bought my first album at 19 - such a late starter). I don't have the ability to analyse and dissect an artist's playing I just listen to music and enjoy it. |

The older you get, the more you "get it". In 1991 at a local Price Club (before it became Costco), I bought a four CD set of John Coltrane live in Japan, 1966. I was not aware at the time that by 1966, John Coltrane was playing free jazz. I heard a forty minute version of "My Favorite Things", I thought it was noise. It didn't sound anything like the Atlantic 1961 album. I've since sold that 4CD set, and have regretted that sale ever since. This is why you don't understand "The End of the Game". The song, "Bottoms Up" is Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew" level material. Last edited by slipkid; 04-24-2010 at 12:15 AM.. |

On Friday I listened to the Madison Blues two-disc set, which with a couple of exceptions didn't particularly excite me, but then that's just me.
Having already done Kiln House, Bare Trees and Future Games, on Saturday morning I did Penguin, putting The Derelict on repeat four times. Hard to grow tired of that one! I then attended an 87th birthday party and on the way home subjected my wife (who had got a lift there from her sister) to Mystery to Me. She did turn it off once - only once which is good for her and Fleetwood Mac. Those two albums, with the fantastic Heroes (which I will listen to this morning) are still, in my opinion, the best that Fleetwood Mac has to offer. Christine before she went sugar-coated pop, Bob Welch in full flight, and of course for just two tracks Dave Walker. Funnily enough though I was listening to (I'm A) Roadrunner, and although it isn't his strongest effort nor the strongest effort by the Mac, it surely isn't the terrible song that most people think it is. Even the supporters of The Derelict don't like it. |

extended jame past and present
I can tell you first hand that I have witnessed jams from the Dead the Alman brothers Quicksilver Messenger Service, Canned Heat, Santana, Jimi Hendrix, The Jefferson Airplane, CSNY but not since 73
by 72 I had my fill of endless meandering but when a band was on it was something doodyhead |

The only bands that CONSISTENTLY were/are good at the "extended jams":
Allman Bros Band Little Feat They rarely "meander", always have exciting peaks & valleys of dynamics and most always have a "point" to their jams....even to this day, despite personnel changes. Groups like Jefferson Airplane, QMS & CSNY just kind of got caught up in that whole "extended jam" scene that was happening in the late 60's/early '70s...they never really were good at it, except on rare occasions. Even the so called "masters" of the extended jam, The Grateful Dead were so incredibly inconsistent...either they were on or not....IMO, mostly "not"...but the bad nights made the good nights that much more special.

Other than the extended "Green Manalishi" & "Rattlesnake Shake"s, they really didn't go off on "jams"....sure there are those two free-form things on the end of the Tea Party discs, but those were when "guests" were sitting in (Joe Walsh, Eric Clapton (supposedly))....but, there reluctance to REALLY jam was one of the reasons, it seems (from reading Celmins' bio on Green, and a few more recent interviews), why Peter decided to leave the band.
