But I always keep the reverb up around 7 or 8 on my ampšŸ˜€
 
I've been on a good roll lately, writing new material. The complication for those around me (like my poor wife) is that when I'm working on a new song I wind up playing it endless number of times back to back as I work out parts. So she not only gets to hear the entire tune over and over, some nights she just hears me working on a particular line. Over. And. Over. :grin:

I've also ran across this track from Colin Hay's (of Men at Work) new album, Next Year People. Nice stuff.

About ten years ago I was at a conference staying at the same hotel as Robert Plant, there was a girl I know at the conference that generally looked like the gal in the pic, she told me she met up with Plant one night, and he asked her up to his room, she bluntly said she asked him "you don't expect me to have sex or anything?" he said "no, lets just party and talk" she said she didn't, who knows, but seeing him with the blond reminded me of that story.

Right now I am listening to Jimi Hendrix "the Wind Cries Mary" Good stuff, also the Sidewinders, and 90s root rock group.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience is still the best concert I've ever attended and I too love his "The Wind Cries Mary".

I went to a Hendrix concert in Denver, as Brian Adams would say - in the summer of 69! It was billed as the Denver Pop Festival at the Mile High stadium (just 2 months before Woodstock). Three Dog Night and Joe Cocker were also there. This was the last performance of the Experience as afterwards Noel Redding left the band. I remembered a really great band that opened for Hendrix. For years, I thought the band was called "Ohm" as that's what it sounded like when they announced them to the stage. Turns out the group was called AUM. Had never heard of them until then, and never heard anything from them since, but they were pretty darned good.
 
I remember that concert in Denver , my family lived only a few miles away from mile high, I was only 14 and the parents had a tight leash on me, wanted to go so bad , do remember the crowds and traffic, the good ole days

We are about the same age then. I was less than two months shy of turing 15 when I went to that concert. We lived in Aurora, just east of Fitzsimmons Army Hospital.
 
Basil , after I got hitched my wife and I lived just to west of Fitzsimmons, right off of Colfax & Nome street. Wow what a small world. This was in 1973
 
Do you remember the Arlen's Department Store on Colfax? I worked there as a department manager when in High School.
 
I do remember Arlens,places have changed so much , it has been ages since I was last in Aurora, Stapleton airport is gone Fitzsimmons is no longer an Army hospital , really don't want to hijack this thread, but I love listening to the oldies in the 60's & the 70's right now listening to Medicine man by the Buchanan brothers
 
I'm not listening to music at the moment, but on my drive home from work tonight I was listening to Bryan Adams "Tracks of My Years" album.

After reading how many guitarists cited Django Reinhardt as an influence, I figured I should hear his work for myself, so I ordered a best-of disc. Interesting but I'm not sure how often I'l listen to it again. Compared to hard rock, not top-down-friendly music.
 
Right now....nothing. But the song I listen to frequently is "I'll Fly Away" by Jars of Clay.
The version I have to use is one with a LOT of bottom end...usually play it on the big system....and make sure I am flexing the windows in the building (seriously).

Imagine this in a 350 seating room...with properly muted walls....a hanging array with speaker sets driven from individual 500 watt amps...side fill towers sitting on reflex subwoofers...what, 15 or 18"....DBX driverack with separate side fill Rane eq's...from a Mackie 32/8....and you might get the idea.
I train all the sound folks to chose a song...any song...just always use it. Once you know what it should sound like, you have a reference. This is mine...faders buried full up.
I am not kidding about flexing windows....nor the 30 can lights hanging from 10' cords swinging by the time I'm done.
