PS - Stephen Stills is a musical genius for being able to write such a beautiful song. I guess that's what happens when you're in love and you have that kind of talent. Believe he played all the instruments in the studio version except for some percussion.

I decided to spend some time this evening listening to some Stephen Stills and found this gem of him playing solo.

Extreme - Get the Funk Out

[Artemis]

Seen Pat Metheney solo live last night. 70 years and still accurately playing 2h15 sets without a break. New for him: he spoke a lot about his childhood and early days, explained his guitars. He admitted that he barely spoke in the past decades during concerts. Excellent concert ranging from acoustic to experimenting with screeching and thundering chaos noises.

His hairdo: as he holds his head horizontal most of the concert, we saw his 'bird nest' moving left and right most of the time.

Fun fact: he explained that he was looking for a specific type of nylon strings nowhere to be found, saw a YouTube video, ordered the nylon strings straightaway via Amazon and the package arrived a day before the start of his concert tour. Curious as he was, he used the new strings and was smitten by it, even to the point that he decided to use the strings during the tour and to record a new album with it.

Was performed as one of the two encore songs: "Sueño con México":

Was also performed: his deconstructed/reconstructed version of Jobim's "The Girl From Ipanema":

The Tubes - White Punks On Dope

Wow, last night I kept watching music videos and couldn't stop. Right before I was ready to give it up and go to bed, I spotted this 1980 video of Linda Ronstadt in an HBO special. I'd never watched it before so I gave it a look. I didn't make it to bed for another 1 1/2 hours.

Peter Asher was a great producer and manager for Linda Ronstadt. This was about the time when she was doing Pirates of Penzance. According her bio, Asher was very accommodating as her manager when she wanted to go outside her genre. But he asked her to do shows like this and record songs in her staple country rock genre that he could release while she was off experimenting with broadway and Spanish language music.


If you like her music and you have 90 minutes, this is for you. Great video work, great sound, and some of the finest musicians of that time backing her up, all great studio musicians each with amazing resumes.

Peter Asher - Manager Percussions & Harmony

Dan Dugmore - Guitar

Kenny Edwards - Banjo Guitar Harmonies

Bob Glaub - Bass

Danny Kortchmar - Guitar

Russ Kunkel - Drums

Bill Payne - Piano

Wendy Waldman - Vocal Backing

Thank you for sharing this. Amazing talent.

Here is one of my favorites from Pat Metheny playing "And I Love Her". I never get tire of this!
