Tiny Dancer - Elton John
It's not my all time favorite song.. but its up there..its beautiful and lately I've become reobsessed with it

It's kind of an obvious/popular one, but I love that song to death and have also been listening to it a fair bit lately! He has some great songs, old Elton. :)

A live version of "The Green Manalishi", written by Peter Green and performed live by Fleetwood Mac at the Boston Tea Party in 1970. Danny Kirwan played the lead guitar parts in this song, and Green (perhaps the best guitarist in the world at the time) played a Fender VI 6-string bass. The whole second half of the song consists of Green on bass and Mick Fleetwood on drums. It's awesome!

Any bass-player that thinks that Jaco Pastorius was the ultimate bass-player should give this a listen, keeping in mind that Green is first and foremost a guitarist. I would love to have known the guy back in his prime before mental health problems laid him low.

BTW, Green Manalishi was Green's embodiment of money (root of all evil). Green wanted to give away all the money (except for expenses) that Fleetwood Mac was making, because he felt it was wrong to keep it. The other band-members disagreed, and he eventually split with them over the issue, much to the detriment of the band's sound and creativity.

Most people do not know that Black Magic Woman was written by Peter Green and was a UK hit for Fleetwood Mac before Santana covered it.

I didn't know that. Great music!

I much prefer Green/Fleetwood Mac's version, but when I was playing out, I was pretty much obligated to throw in some Santana-style leads because that was the version that most people in the US were familiar with.

Having not known about it, I would have wanted to hear that too. I'll have to get more used to Green's version :)

Here is a live version. I almost always prefer Fleetwood Mac's live versions to the studio versions. They were a hot live band.

Wow! Thanks! I'll be a little disapointed playing the Santana Guitar Hero (music video game) version with the kids now.

I think I'll go to a John Prine concert next month.

Can't believe Tull was in town in June, and no one told me.

****ity! ****! ****! ****!... as my old acquaintance Ron would say.

hmmm... But then again, perhaps I should start paying closer attention to my surroundings.

That was Bonnie back in the day. The first concert that I took my future and present wife to was one of Bonnie's. It was festival seating (everybody plunked their butts down on a hard gymnasium floor) and when she started her first number, a bunch of idiots in the front jumped up and started dancing around. She stopped the song and said something on the order of "This is going to be a long concert. If you block the view of everyone in back of you, everyone will have to stand up all night. If you want to dance, please go to the back of the room so that other people can see us perform." Nobody went to the back of the room. They sat down and let the rest of us paying customers see the show. She did a good job controlling the nuts.
