Superb, you both sound great. I was just admiring that song earlier today, great to hear someone do it.

thanks everyone for such kind words
but thats all i have with jen -
i think i have a decent solo landslide (though i fear everyone is just a tad tired of that one )
and a goodbye baby
still lookin for a way to transfer videos to mp3 - no need to see me standing there - especially in a bad haircut - can anyone help with this? not the haircut but the transfer?

- - lol -
my friend keeps telling me he has a video of me doing chris's u make lovin fun -
just me and guitar -
i remember the performance and thinkin "damn that was more than decent" and i actually came close to those high notes (believ- EEEEEEEEEEvvvvee)
lol
but i haven't seen the video yet -
if it is half as good as i remember ill post it over in the chris forum -
i did a couple lindsey tunes and posted them over there -
they are just such fun tunes to perform -
i just can' t help it - like i said in the othr thread
chris linds and stevie have written a huge portion of the soundtrack to my life :)

Wow! Great job!

That was just beautiful!
I love that song, and your sweet voices!

I just grabbed the audio from your YouTube post and made an mp3. I think it skips once or twice, due to the YouTube stream. If you want to send me the Mpeg, or whatever format your video is in, I could probably make a better mp3.

Excellent stuff! Thanks for sharing. You both sound great

Wow, I'm in awe, you guys sound great. :thumbsup:

Sigh, I love that song.

oh thanks for doing this!

God i love that song! You guys did a great job!

wow again - thanks everyone - very kind words -
jen doesn't know it is on the internet and has never seen it - lol
i wonder if i should have asked her first - oops
ill email her a link :)

ok -
ill try to find something else to post today -
should i just tack it onto this thread ?
or do i make a new one -?

maybe ill try to find a song each written by the big three (s/l/c) and just put them all in one post on the rumours page -

any requests??

I'd pay to see you guys perform at a club!
Thanks for sharing...

rbs

then come to portland oregon in late may :)
right around the 26th of may - hmmm what day is that??
lol

This is a stunning performance. I got goosebumps.

I concur! A very impressive, enjoyable performance of Without You. And props for picking such an obscure, underrated song. I live in Portland, OR. Where will you be performing? I'll be there!

Same here...Fleetwood Mac (and various solo ventures) have been the soundtrack of my life since 1977. By the way, you mentioned The Big Three. Do you mean the old folk group with Cass Elliot? She and Mamas & Papas are also a huge part of my soundtrack. Love them to death.

hey penguin - we typically do it at the LaurelThirst - don't know if you know the place - but this year i think we are gonna do a few shows and do one at a bigger venue downtown - i skipped last years cos i was just burnt out on stuff - and if it isn't gonna be fun - then no sense in doing it right??

and by big three i meant - chris linds and stevie -
but huge mamas / papas fan here as well
and cass elliot?????:angel:
freakin amazing voice and harmonies - mmmm mama cass -
i didn't know of the old folk group but i am gonna see what i can find on them -
thanks for the good lead on something new to me
bill

ok -
i did u send it files for
why
save me a place
miss you now
landslide

they are in a seperate thread in the rumours forum
thanks

One of the best covers I ever heard. Love it. You guys should take it on the road. Give BN a run for their money. :) Great job!

Exxxxxcellent! :thumbsup:

That was so good. I look forward to seeing more....:nod:

Much Love,
Ethan

thanks one and all -
there are a lot of supportive (not supporting but thats a good thing too) ledgies :)

Hey Bill,

I'm really digging all the songs you posted. Yeah, I know where LaurelThirst is. How will I know when you're performing? What name does your band use? Should I look for ads in Williamette Week? (lol).

Yeah, The Big Three was Cass with two folky guys, Tim Rose and Jim Hendricks. They enjoyed some aclaim during the folk craze, producing a couple of albums. (there are a couple of compilation cds out there). Of course, the folk thing faded, especially when the Beatles emerged. Then most of the "folks" went on to rock and roll.

The greatest ever Cass Elliot album ever is her self-titled album from 1972. Just amazing. Unfortunately, the CD of it is very rare. A US version was released in the early 90's, then disappeared (I haven't seen it anywhere since). There was a fairlly recent Japanese issued copy, but even that one is hard to find, and when it is available it goes for big bucks.

If and when I see you perform, I'll be sure to bring a copy of it for you.

Cheers!

VERY nice! I was surprised, because you never know what to expect of those things, but you guys actually sound VERY close to the recording...pretty weird, loved it, thanks for sharing.
