The Beach Boys over the past few years have released on Spotify, youtube, and other social media outlets compilations of some of their albums of unreleased takes, demos, and tracks along w/live ones... I really love how raw this performance of "Surfin" was...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfbBG...

Yes, it indeed was! I was also hoping to meet my long lost cousin Barry who found me on ancestry.com but he was away tending to matters involving his brother's passing while I was there. Unfortunately, Barry suddenly passed away himself about 2 years later and then within this past year their sister...

I agree. I recently watched this 2+ hour Moody Blues documentary and even though I've known about Denny practically my entire life, I did not realize until now how solid of an all-around musician he really is! I also never knew how often the Beatles frequented the Moodies house during the years Denn...

Thanks for all the accounts of that fantastic day that everyone has since shared! I ended up meeting hanging-out with those from this board from Chile, Sweden, Brazil and, obviously England and then the day of the concert I met two wonderful women (from the UK and the other from Argentina) that I ha...

I've been rediscovering the Moody Blues lately and in the process I managed to find the following on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeRWLs0DjIg



Denny was outstanding here and McCullough nailed it with his solo and obviously watching Paul and Linda harmonizing was something special!

I agree with you regarding that I wish they included more from TMW. I believe at the last moment they had to cut off a few tunes from the set-list due to curfew concerns. I was stoked to hear "Badhead"! To me that came out of nowhere! I was 2nd or 3rd row from the stage for the entire day up until B...

Now already been 4-years since! Who else besides Jaime were there? Such fun times, fun times INDEED!

Gomez has officially released their 20th anniversary edition of their 2nd album, "Liquid Skin" and here are 2 wonderful unreleased demos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilBaI-J5AAc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO2ddbxiIQ4 To me they have the 2nd best B-Sides and unreleased material only to Blur ...

They also haven't been the same since Alan Myers' passing. He was a vastly underrated drummer. True, they somewhat employed drum samples and machines during the mid-late 80s albums, but his drumming really stood out regardless. Oh I love this performance right here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G...

The only devo is I know of is the one from fat pie. I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not! haha :lol: Check-out these two songs from the same album "Whip It" was released on and let me know your opinion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVGINIsLnqU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4-2onb62y8...

A very underrated band (especially their earlier albums). They're more than just "Whip It" indeed! Who else on here is into them?

It's been extremely silent/dormant here as of late.. I hope this injects some excitement in this thread at least:

I hope more of this is unearthed in the future!

I could have included this in quite a few threads, but he was at his best during the "Pet Sounds" and "Smile" sessions... RIP, Hal Blaine! https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/la-et-ms-hal-blaine-obituary-drums-wrecking-crew-20190311-story.html?fbclid=IwAR3yVo4ig7lteK6yJfyzC6nielLITmwKXoJDivp...

Blur were at their most adventurous/innovative between post "13" until Graham's departure (they really exhibited that during that Bill Laswell session). I feel though that was when the four of them were at their most cohesive together and to not record proper for so long as band detracted away from ...
