Pink Floyd live in Pompeii for an epl please. https://youtu.be/NL0TNGfcge4

We really need the Transatlantic's All of the Above for masterpiece as soon as possible!

Hi Dr. Doug. Do you need a YouTube link to Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant? That truly would be excellent for Thanksgiving.

DJ Marquis Marc Rambeau du Tacoma

Now you're talking! Hear! Hear! I haven't checked your link, but I've had the VHS then the DVD for decades. Concert footage where there are no fans. Interspersed with clips of PF in Abbey Road Studio laying down tracks in 1972 for the release of Dark Side of the Moon. A great video if you can get the whole thing.

DJ Marquis Marc Rambeau du Tacoma

Another most excellent suggestion. Arlo turned it into a movie (starring himself, naturally) in 1969, and it's pretty much a replay of the Album cut, which is pretty much a reply of two actual events in Arlo's (son of Woody) life. Arlo is O.H. - Old Hippie - i.e., a hippie BEFORE the summer of love, NOT after it became publicized. (Actor Peter Coyote is another, a true Digger - which was later repeated as the Food Not Bombs movement that I saw in the 90s.) Oh. those were the days of wine and gory...

Cool to see the Avalon String Quartet doing a Bartok String Quartet No. 5. This Quartet is based from Northern Illinois University which is in my hometown. And have seen this Quartet live in concert many times.

John B

My link is a 4k transfer. It’s the best looking and sounding I’ve seen. It’s just the songs, without the extra studio stuff.

Illume Eltanin

The movie is awesome, although it takes a very somber turn of events, compared to the song. Definitely worth a watch, though!

Vei Hei

Some Opeth would be cool

Allen

Led Zeppellin III (with its eclectic mix of acoustic pieces) would be great to contrast with the electric-heavy "Houses of the Holy."

William Drum Marcus

John McLaughlin and or Mahavishnu Orchestra in particular Visions of the Emerald Beyond Eternity's breath 1 & 2 and Birds of Fire. And 1st song on Belo Horizonte album

DJ Marquis Marc Rambeau du Tacoma

Eclectic is right. Kinda messed it up for some fans back in the day, with IV redeeming them in the eyes of many. III has, to my mind, the finest blues song ever: Since I've Been Loving You.

Allen

That album has never left me; Plant made a point in an interview that the stereotype of Zeppellin as a "hard-rock" band is inaccurate, as "half our songs were acoustic." I think "That's the Way" is another standout tune that Doug would find refreshing (Plant's intimate voice).

Anonymous

A few suggestions: 1) David Gilmour, "On An Island" (song); 2) Alan Parsons, "I Robot" (extended play); 3) A Perfect Circle (anything really)

Jordan

King Gizz!!! Crumbling castle or all of polygondwanaland is also a top contender for an elp. Would also love to see Mei - Echolyn, probably my most listened to tune (duration haha)

DJ Marquis Marc Rambeau du Tacoma

1. Been listening to David since I was a wee todler, nearly. Haven't heard a bum note from him. Always tasty, like Mick Taylor (Stones 1968-1973) or Peter Green (originator of Fleetwood Mac). 2. "I Robot" might be the first pop-synth song to hit FM radio in the early 70s. Robert Moog ("mow-g") invented his synth in the 60s, and became famous by Wendy Carlos' "Switched-On-Bach" in 1968 and used by The Beatles (with a white noise generator for "I Want You") for the first time on 1969's Abbey Road. 3. A Perfect CIrcle to me is like a mellowed out Tool. One of their most interesting tracks is a remake of John Lennon's 1971 masterpiece "Imagine." I would really love to hear Doug compare the two versions and might answer my question: Is the difference between the two versions one of modality? Extra Note: Doug mentioned a few times that he likes the sound of the early 70s synths. Here's a simplified explanation why: The synths of the 70s (listen to Stevie Wonder's superb "Superstition" of 1972) created their sound by first starting with a complicated waveform, to which a series of filters modify the sound by removing frequencies, for the most part. I paid $2000 for a Yamaha DX7 (listen to Don Henley's "Sunset Grill," and you can't miss it!) in 1985. It was the most popular FM synthesizer of the era. Using newfound computing power, these synths built up a complicated waveform from a number of simple ones and combining them in various ways. Finally, even back in the 60s we had samplers. The mellotron (listen to the opening flute of The Beatles "Strawberry Fields Forever," for example) used a series of tape recordings of actual instruments and was triggered by a keyboard. Over the years, digital technology would develop. Early models like the Synclavier and the Fairlight could cost a studio $100,000+. By 1985, The Emu was the most popular sampler that we sold from the music store I was then working at. Samplers are usually triggered by a keyboard or pressure sensitive devices (Simmons drums, for example); or alternately by a computer in the form of a sequencer (listen to The Who's "Baba O'Riley" or "Won't Get Fooled Again" for great examples).

DJ Marquis Marc Rambeau du Tacoma

Interesting. Would love to see/hear it anew. Perhaps by not including the DSotM footage, my old VHS and DVD copies might hold their value more. Sentimental value, nevertheless.

Scot Poland

I find Discord hard to navigate. But I hope Doug will listen to something from Gryphon one of these days. Red Queen to Gryphon Three, or Raindance. I still remember vividly when my friend had gone to see Yes in Louisville. He came back to the campus and told me I HAD to check out the band who had opened for them. Richard Harvey has gone on to a long and successful career as a composer of classical pieces, various crossover projects, and film/TV scores.
