David Bowie covers one of the great rock tunes of all time - Waterloo Sunset
By Jack Brummet, British Music Ed.
David Bowie covers what I think is one of the 10 greatest rock songs of all time. Bowie recently wrote the notes for an upcoming Kinks compilation, and wrote "I've never heard a Kinks song that I didn't like".

Billy Joel's heavy metal band, Attilla
By Jack Brummet, Music Ed.
Billy Joel had a heavy metal band--Attila--in 1969/70. He was partners in the band with Jon Small. . .until Joel and Small's wife fell in love.
“They released only one album, Attila, in 1970. Attila is often selected by critics and other music journalists as one of the worst rock albums of all time. Joel himself has gone on record as describing the album as “psychedelic bullshit”. - Wikipedia

The Beatles perform Please Please Me, warts and all
By Jack Brummet, 20th Century Sounds Ed.
I am always fascinated by The Beatles live performances. They were playing giant halls and stadiums using PAs and guitar amplifiers far less powerful than what we see in 100 person clubs now. They couldn't usually overmatch the screaming. When I saw them in '66 in Seattle (their second to last concert performance ever), it was a murky jumble of sound, and the girl's screams won. It was all made up for by just being in their presence for 25 minutes (yes, that's how long they played, but still, we got our $5 worth). It is amazing how good they actually sounded, with the deck totally stacked against them...

Joan Baez with Jimi Hendrix
By Jack Brummet, Rock Ed.
Joan Baez with Jimi Hendrix. I originally saw the bong version, which is probably someone's Photoshop. A version that Corbis licenses is smokeless, and seems to be the original. But who really knows these days?

Sasquatch Festival
By Jack Brummet
I spent Sunday/Monday morning at the Sasquatch Fesitval at the Gorge Amphitheater. I was especially knocked out by the performances of The Tallest Man On Earth, and particularly by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeroes.
I also saw The Dropkick Murphys, Elvis Costello (my fifth time) and The Imposters, Mumford & Sons, Danny Brown, and a bunch of other bands on the smaller stages.

44 years ago today, The Beatles performed their final concert (with concert video)
By Jack Brummet, Music Editor
Today is the anniversary of the last live public concert by The Beatles. On Jan. 30, 1969, The Beatles played on the roof of the Apple Organization building in London. The performance was to be included in Michael Lindsey-Hogg's "Let It Be"[1] -- a documentary about the iconic band. The word from insiders is that the film will not be released in Paul or Ringo's lifetimes.
[1] According to http://www.ultimate-guitar.com, the 1970 documentary reveals deep tensions among the band. The film depicts "Paul, Ringo and the late John Lennon and George Harrison - shortly before their break-up, and insiders at the band's record company, Apple, claim the two surviving members do not want it re-released."
"A source said: 'There has been talk of 'Let It Be' finally being released but now there has been a change of heart. The Beatles are still a massive global brand and it's felt it won't be helped if the public sees the darker side of the story.'
"Neither Paul nor Ringo would feel comfortable publicising a film showing The Beatles getting on each other's nerves."
"George Harrison took exception to Paul criticising his guitar playing, while John Lennon appeared disinterested during the entire process - preferring to spend his time with his wife Yoko Ono.
Although the LP was their final release, the group were so disappointed with "Let It Be" they recorded masterpiece "Abbey Road" afterwards and released it before the much-maligned record.
The source added to Britain's Daily Express newspaper: "People like to imagine The Beatles were a happy ship but the reality towards the end was very different as this film shows. There's all sorts of extra footage showing more squabbles but it's unlikely it will ever see the light of day in Paul and Ringo's lifetime."

Jim Morrison Explains The Miami Incident
By Jack Brummet, music editor
You may remember the "Miami Incident" if you were listening to music back in 1969 (which would also mean you're pushing 60 or >). If you weren't, you may have heard about it. My friend Frank Curran was at a Doors show in Seattle sometime later, when someone yelled "play Miami!", and Jim Morrison unloaded on Seattle (as I also heard Jimi Hendrix do in his last hometown show).
The "Miami Incident" landed Morrison in serious hot water with the FBI and the courts. On March 1, 1969, he gave a controversial performance at a Doors concert in Miami, Florida, and was later charged with public drunkenness, and various other crimes. He was specifically accused of exposing himself to the crowd, and was eventually convicted of "indecent exposure," a misdemeanor, and not the felonies he was initially charged with. He was sentenced to serve time. But he never served it; he moved to Paris and died at the age of 27.
One night later, Morrison was out with a bunch of people, and his friend Tom Baker started goading him (it was getting hostile): "Tell us now, Mr. Jim Morrison, rock star. Tell us what happened in Miami."
Morrison glared at Baker, and drained his drink.
"Come on, Jim, tell us once and for all."
"Well," Morrison said in a quiet voice, "I wanted to see what it looked like in the spotlight."
The crowd burst out laughing, spraying the bar with their drinks and Jim grinned proudly.

And, yes, he did bring a live sheep on lamb on stage. Someone
brought it to the show and handed it off to Morrison on stage.

The Beatles Unplugged
By Jack Brummet, British Invasion Editor
The Beatles: Unplugged is a bootleg CD thar is so interesting, and sounds so good that Capitol/EMI should release this right now.
This disc, subtitled "The Kinfaun-Session," referring to George Harrison's home in Esher) contains 23 songs that George Harrison, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney recorded as demos/works-in-progress in May 1968. Most of the tracks would later appear on The White Album. This is pretty cool stuff.

The Beatles collaborative guitar solo in :The end:
By Jack Brummet, Music History Editor
Fifty-four seconds into The Beatles' The End are 18 bars of guitar solo: the first two bars are played by McCartney, the second two by Harrison, and the third two are Lennon, then they take one more round. I've listened to this song probably more than a hundred times and I've noticed the different voices in the solo, but I didn't know until tonight that it was a collaborative solo--Paul created it when he mixed the song. Their individual styles are so perfectly represented....

Music History: The Small Faces
By Jack Brummet, Music History Editor
Small Faces were leaders of the Mod (and later psychedelic) movement '65-'69, and were heroes of the Britpop movement in the '90s. There are a lot of interesting tendrils in and out of the band. After they busted up, three of them joined Ronnie Wood and Rod Stewart (both from the Jeff Beck band) to form Faces. Lead singer Steve Marriott--an amazing vocalist--formed formed Humble Pie with Peter Frampton (who, after Humble Pie, went solo and released one of the best selling rock albums of all time). After Faces, Ronnie Wood joined the Rolling Stones, and Rod Stewart left serious rock behind to become, well, whatever you call what he does now.

Etta James and The Grateful Dead ring in the New Year, 1982
By Jack Brummet, Music Editor
I am a fan of both Etta James and The Grateful Dead, but never knew they had performed together on New Year's Eve in 1982. It's not something that fans on either side of the equation would expect. And then for a horn section, throw in Tower of Power, well, now we're talking!
Sadly, Etta James is suffering from terminal leukemia right now, and I don't think I'll ever get to see her play again.
