What is the Best Saxophone Song?

[turbo]

did not know that Green Manalishi was a FM song - still prefer Judas Priest though

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 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.

 

[fuzzyfelt]

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

 

[turbo]

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.

Hard to believe it's been 10 years. It seems like I just videotaped this concert a few weeks agohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLn3FT9BsRs"

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.

Sometimes, the best songs, are just too personal to share..

I've heard this song a few times over the last couple of years. Didn't know there was a video. Didn't know that the singer was 14 days younger than me. Didn't know he died 14 years ago. Didn't know he was from Hawaii.

Have I mentioned that Hawaii is a magical place?
