MIKE     You did it to me again, after reading your Motown post. I dug deep into the music crate, found DIANA ROSS AND THE SUPREMES-Greatest Hits. Before that THE BEATLES- The White Album.My wife said I forget we had that LP ( DIANA ROSS). She just snapped on the TV and it is a show about ELTON JOHN, Me Myself & I.

DAVE     Don't start your trip to CANADA just yet, their calling for snow for Sunday into Monday.Of course your more then welcome to come over and shovel the snow off of my driveway.biggrinbiggrin I'll even let you use my snow scoop.biggrin Been spinnin' a couple of  disc tonight, RUSH- Moving Pictures, LIGHTHOUSE- Live. More of that home grown rock n' roll.   MIKE    Read your posts cool tunes that bring back memories, and reminds me of bands I have not thought of in years. One that jumped out at me and I laughedbiggrin when I saw it was 1910 FRUITGUM CO. I've got their 1,2,3 Red Light LP, It's been a while since I've played it. Some of those tunes take me back to my pre highschool days groovin' to them at the dances at the jr high.Aaah I can remember my navy blue slacks with yellow pin stripes,man was I groovy.smile STEVE got to agree with you no RARE EARTH tunesno makes no sense, just goes to show you the fans know more then the record companies when it comes to music.

I got caught up in abbreviating Rare Eath songs, and I need to stop it.

I meant "I just want to Celebrate", by Rare Earth, of course.

Look at all of the 70's songs included in the CD's.  Two by Emerson, Lake and Palmer (that don't represent what they are all about, by the way.)  They should have used "Fanfare for the Common Man", which reached number 2 in the charts.  I see all these songs that were hits at the same time as "Celebrate".  It's just unbelievable.


I can't argue with that Steve smile

 

There are some early 70's things in there. But at least they stayed within what I consider to be the best decade of music (1965-1975). 

I Just Want To Celebrate  (not "Celebrate" by Three Dog Night) would've been my choice if I had to choose one Rare Earth song. Us fans can't get enough of Rare Earth.

Good point Steve. Celebrate would've been a good choice. That's the bad thing about these types of comps, especially of the 60's era...so many songs out there.

I never owned Abracadabra (the LP) but our drummer at the time bought it so we could learn the single. I got to hear the album several times and liked it.  I'd assumed that I waited and bought the follow up Circle of Love, but as Mark correctly points out, Circle came out before it not after it. Clearly the memory is not what it used to be, or maybe it is, but I can't remember!

I definitely don't recall being in Snow Patrol. We've got wall to wall sunshine here in the UK today. It's been warm, the birds are singing and the weatherman has just said....snow showers next week!. I'm coming over to Canada AL where it's nice and warm!

MARK    I've got a few LPs hangin' around and I'm always on the lookout for more.STEVE MILLER I got to see him in '78, I've got Brave New World, Your Saving Grace, Book Of Dreams LPs.The others were either 8 tracks then cassettes I replaced most with cds.I don"t think I have a copy of Abacadabra, I had the cassette but wore it out a few years ago.      DAVE    For a little bit I thought maybe SNOWPATROL might have been a band you played in. smile So I checked out their web site, didn't see any snow.In case you want any of the white stuff a drug store in GRAND BAY, just up the hill from me has a sign that reads 2L Pepsi  two for $5 snow free of charge.I'm not sure of delivery.biggrin BILLY JOEL- The Stranger spinning now, earlier it was STYX- Cornerstone.

Hi Dave,
confuseI thought "Circle of Love" came first...but I could be wrong...no big dealwink...I have the album somewhere and I remember Macho City did'nt do anything for me either...A lot of repetive bass licks and Miller's echo guitar work.....NOTHING AND ABSOLUTLY NOTHING can beat the long version of GET READYbiggrin

Abracadabra was a good album. I bought the follow up "Circle of Love" on the basis of it having only one song, Macho City, on Side 1 (or was it side 2?).  I was looking for another band that could jam for the whole side of an album. Macho City is ok but it's only about 15 minutes long and nowhere near as musically interesting as an extended Rare Earth track.

HI, Steve!

Meeting someone like Alan Parsons was awesome! He is down to earth just like meeting Pete,Gil...You would think that a guy that worked with the Beatles and Pink Floyd would have an ego..He did'nt! He was very patient with all the questions and was in no hurry....If the live project comes near your town...go,man,go!!

As far as Asia, I got hooked...then after the next albums, I lost interest..however there are some good moments...

I just found NINE TONIGHT BY BOB SEGER...I forgot I had this one...


I,ROBOT is an excellent album Steve!!

Best

I will never, ever forget that ASIA debut album. I was so blown away by the fact that these supergroup musicians, Carl Palmer, Steve Howe, Geoff Downes and John Wetton all came together to produce one of the best albums in the 80's.  My favorite song of the album was "Cutting it Fine", because it has that classic Steve Howe guitar sound to it, but, not unlike the Alan Parson's Project album "I, Robot" every song on the album is fantastic.  It is just too bad that Wetton was such a problem, and caused himself to be replaced after the 2nd album, which ruined their career, basically.  They never recovered  when he rejoined after the 3rd album.cry

Hi Mark!!!

To me, the Alan Parson's Project, was one of the most under rated projects in music history. The album "I Robot", is an absolute gem.  Between ELP's Karn Evil 9 3rd Impression, a very prophetic song, written in 1973, about computers taking over and humans becoming too reliant on the machine, to the point that the computer and man get into an argument at the end of the tune and you are left to judge who wins, and "I Robot", it is a fascinating album and band. It's one of those albums that is just perfect in every way, by a man who is obviously a genius. 

What blows my mins is that you have met him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your are right it is "The Duce Is Loose" it features both Peter and Mark, my copy is on the Mushroom label cat no. MRS 5013 came out in 1979. The record is produced by John Ryan for Chicago Kid Productions, thats  probably the reason why Peter and Mark got to play on the album.

I always loved the Not Fragile album by BTO. I liked the first two albums a lot but Not Fragile was their high point for me. Blair Thornton seemed to bring that little bit of icing on the cake!


BTO, BTO II, Not Fragile, Four Wheel Drive and Head On are great albums.

Hey, there's a band in the UK which is specially suited to you. They are called Snow Patrol. You can buy their album and file it between Edgar Winter and Ice T. smile

Mr or Miss Anonymous I suspose you only listen to one band's music? Well I'm a bit different, I groove to tunes from many bands and also this thread reminds me of bands I've forget about, and some I  may not known about. It is a way to swap stories with people from around the world concerning their musical tastes. What the hell is wrong with that?Seeing that us CANADIANS are susposed to polite people I've got  RARE EARTH's- GET READY on the turn table, does that satisfy you?

Also, we are fully aware this is a Rare Earth site. However, the purpose of this thread is to discuss what we are currently listening to. And since variety is the spice of life, why not discuss other bands. I'm sure we all listen to other bands besides Rare Earth. No harm in this.

Listening to some live LPs WOODSTOCK, Elton John;s 11 17 70 ( 17 11 70 in the UK) ALLMAN BROTHERS at THE FILLMORE EAST, and reading Mike's post about his trip to CHICAGO, reminded me that I haven't been there since '78.We were on our belated honeymoon and were headed to MILWAUKEE, to see some baseball. When we got Milwaukee we stumbled across a concert at the old county stadium. PABLO CRUISE, STEVE MILLER, THE EAGLES.$13.00 a ticket $2.00 to park,so for $28.00 we got to see a great show.THE EAGLES came to New Brunswick last summer and tickets ranged from $150.00 to $250.00,all i did was put on EAGLES LIVE and remember that concert.

Well...I took the family to Chicago this weekend for a mini vacation...hotel stay, let the kids go swimming, go downtown to the field museum and navy pier. I'm exhausted. I loaded the I-pod with:

1. Edgar Winter's White Trash: Roadwork *No fan of the Back To Earth & Midnight Lady records should be without this one. Lots of great music from the entire band, which also includes Rick Derringer and the late Bobby Ramirez on drums. And there's even a guest appearance by Johnny Winter on a KILLER version of Rock 'N Roll Hoochie Koo that was released before Rick derringer had a hit with it. One of my favorite live albums!
2. The James Gang: Bang * Lots of great guitar work from the late Tommy Bolin. 
3. Richard Wright: Wet Dream * A superb yet underrated solo album from the late Pink Floyd keyboardist. Listening to this one will open up
your eyes/ears to just how important Rick was to the sound of Floyd.  
4. Buffalo Springfield: S/T debut, Again & Last Time Around...great music from a band that lasted only 2 short years.

I have a copy of  Fools Gold's 1st album, so after reading your post I dug it out and played it for the first time in years, what a good album it is.
I only bought it because I am a huge Dan Fogelberg fan, and as you say they backed him on the road.

Other stuff I have been listening to lately.
Loads of Mott The Hoople/Ian Hunter.
Amy Grant: Simple Things
Toto Live in Amsterdam(DVD)
It Bites: The Tall Ships
Stray: Valhalla.
The Strawbs: The Broken Hearted Bride
Oh and some album called A Brand New World, bands name escapes me lol

Friday night we went to the local BACKSTREET RECORDS store to some live music.Had a great time got to a raggie band from TORONTO called HOUSE of DAVID GANG.Also 2/3rds of 16th AVENUE a local band which we know one of the guys.So it was good to hear them again.Between sets I went through some of the albums.I found and bought FOCUS LIVE AT THE RAINBOW from '73 and this blew me away RARE EARTH ONE WORLD.So as you can imagine I've been rockin' all day.At this instant TOBACCO ROAD is jumpin' out of the speakers.Man I love that tune.

Mike    I believe you......THOUSANDS...........MILLIONS wouldn't. I do!Your right Jerry LaCroix very underrated.His LaCroix LP is one of my all time favorites.I've just finished listening to Bob McBride's ....HERE TO SING from '78 a little mellow, the guy had a great voice, it is hard to believe he's been dead for over 10 years.Anyway I've got MASHMAKHAN on the turn table now.Hey does anybody remember them?I remember when their hit AS THE YEARS GO BY was a staple on CFBC the local AM radio station in the early '70's.

Al,

It's funny you should mention Jerry.

I'm giving my 2 LP set of "Edgar Winter's White Trash: Roadwork" a spin. Man, Jerry really lets loose on songs like "Jive Jive Jive", "Turn You You Loose", "Do Yourself A Favor" and "Turn On Your Love Light". And he also gets in his fair share of sax playing too. I've loved this double album since I was 8. Jerry LaCroix...vastly underrated.

I've been spinning some stuff while I am hurrying to copy the rest of the cd's for the project...since I have all flaws fixed for the project.
 
1. This Is The Moody Blues * Fantastic collection that was unique in some ways. Yes, if you were a fan you had the material. But the songs were remixed (not drastically) for the compilation in 1974 and all songs flow together. I love it. Worth seeking out, eventhough it is out of print.

2.  Love: Forever Changes *

3. Neil Young: Weld *The audio taken from the laserdisc. It's a much better MIX than the 2 cd set.

Mark  I did some digging on FOOL's GOLD, they had two albums.The self titled FOOL's GOLD Jan 1 1976, Mr LUCKY JAN 1 1977, both are on CD but an LP would be cool.They were Fogelberg's back up band,with some help from Walsh, Felder, Frey who played on the album. For me now it's Jimmy Buffett, grovin' to " Captain America".Something else I saw today at the local Zellers store, a couple of '70's rock CDs those various artist ones.Each had a RARE EARTH songs GET READY on one,I  JUST TO CELEBRATE on the other.

It's 3:50 pm and there is a wack of snow coming. Grand Funk's ON TIME is spinning on the turn table. I just looked out the window it's started snowing looks like another 20 to 30 cm of the damn stuff, which means 3hrs of shoveling in the morning.Time for some exercise, got to turn the LP over.

Saturday night my wife and I went to see Ellen Mcilwaine at the Imperial Theatre in Saint John. She had Michelle Josef on drums and Suzie Vinnick on bass.I've never seen anyone play guitar like her.The program said "Herewith a list of the three greatest women slide guitar players in the universe. 1 Ellen Mcilwaine, 2 Ellen Mcilwaine,3 Ellen Mcilwaine.In my humble opinion I agree.If you ever get a chance to see this lady play, GO!

Yes it is the very same STRAY with Del Bromham and they are rockin!  I saw them on saturday with the Groundhogs at The Stables Theatre in Wavendon and it was great.  Valhalla is their new album.

A Brand New World is always on, LOVE IT!

St Albans eh.....I will go check that now, sounds promising. biggrin

Hi John

Interesting selections. Would this be the same Stray that played at my local college in 1975 by any chance? I was laid up that day having broken my ankle playing football a week earlier. My friends came to visit and were only too pleased to let me know I'd missed an awesome performance by Del Bronham and co. Now, almost 34 years later, Stray are coming back to town next month in a double bill with The Groundhogs. I never saw the Groundhogs neither, though I once arrived at the venue to meet people leaving because they were just painfully loud. They must have been excessively loud because these were seasoned Deep Purple fans!! I'm looking forward to belatedly seeing these bands.

Glenn Hughes too. Can't be bad. I'm not as keen on First Underground Nuclear Kitchen as some of his other stuff but I'm hoping to go over to the Robin at Bilston in June when he's playing a complete Trapeze set in memory of Mel Galley who dies recently.

Glad to see Brand New World on your list. I've been playing the CD a lot in my car in recent weeks.

Finally, interesting gig coming up in St Albans in February..Verity, Henrit and Rodford playing together for the first time in a long while!!

Nylon Curtain Billy Joel.  I forgot what a great album that was.  Very Beatlesqe.  When Julian Lennon was ready to record his first album in 1984 he wanted Billy's producer Phil Ramone to produce based on his work on Nylon Curtain.  Julian loved the sound and feel of the album...and so do I.

Steve  Nothing wrong with Bing, I've a couple of Benny Goodman LPs and a Glen miller LP & a CD, cool sounds. Also I got to see THE GLEN MILLER ORCHESTRA  back in 2006 when they came to town. If you ever get a chance to see one of their shows I highly recomend it.Got a question how many of Bing's road movies have you seen?

 Thanks, Mark.  I have been a Bing Crosby fan all of my life. Rosemary Clooney, Danny Kaye--all of them.  It was their style of music that are my first memories of music, due to my parents great taste in music.  Don't laugh, but, the Ray Conniff Orchestra was my first ever memory,ever, of what got me interested in actually *performing* music. It was the ' S Marvelous album that grabbed me. Then, when the Beatles hit the charts...well, you take it from there.  Then, in 1969, when the Get Ready album came out--WOW! What a DRUMMER!  "Fastest-feet-Pete" came into my life, and I was never the same!
Pete, I'll NEVER stop talking about your feet, as long as I live.  I probably know them better than you know them, yourself! aww  

 Anyway...I love to think back on where I was, when I bought each album. It was one of those things in life that never leave you, and the memories are very warm, for me.

 I should have included the link to Bing's recording of "Autumn in New York", so you could hear it!

    Don't forget to add the  " &fmt=18 " at the end of the link, in the URL, so you can hear it in stereo/high quality.

Hello Dave it's warmed up a bit but it snowed all day Sunday so I spent 3 hrs shoveling snow in my yard then another 4 1/2 hrs at the old age home.25 cms the weather man said then freezing rain so everything is covered in ice.When I got home I needed to see something warm so I put on Jimmy Buffet live dvd. All that sunshine and people wearing t's and shorts and woman a hell of alot less. I can only hope warm weather comes back.

 Well, I am listening to a lot of Bing Crosby these days. I found a recording of "Autumn in New York" by Bing, on the last album he  recorded before he passed away, called "Seasons".  I have to say that no one sings the tune better.  I really get sick of the same old stuff, so, am versatile in my listening. I must be showing my age, because I am really listening to less and less rock music these days.

 I do have to say though, that it is at this particular time of the year that I listen to RE the most.  When the "In Concert" album was released, I purchased it in the latter part of January or early February. I can't recall when the album was actually released, but, I know it was a while before I could actually get it ( I think it cost $6.99 at the time) because as a 15 year old kid, I didn't have the cash, so, sold a snare drum which I got $15.00 for. I rushed out to get my copy, and played it steadily, for the next few months.  During the winter months, there wasn't much else to do BUT listen to records, at that age!

Anyway...this time of the year always makes me think back to the time when I bought that album.

 Maybe we ought to start a thread on what time of the year we bought the RE albums. I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing at the time I bought all of them!

Hi AL

Wrap up warm. I can't imagine how the UK would deal with temperatures that low. These days the newspapers report it as a crisis if the temperature dips to minus 4C or we get a dusting of snow!!!

Who'd have thought that in the first two weeks of 2009 we'd hear both I Just Want to Celebrate AND Hey Big Brother eminating from our TV sets for different ads. Just goes to show, they don't make them like they used to lol.

I play in two bands. I played with the other one the night before. The other one plays a lot of Soul and Motown, one of which is Get Ready. I hate the version we do. It used to be ok but its drifted into a very poor version. I keep mentioning that the definitive version is by Rare Earth but they just look at me blank as if to say Rare who?

Anyway, a few weeks ago I took my iPod to a gig, plugged it into the PA and MADE them listen. I didn't say who it was by. The drummer's ears shot up and he said "who's this version by? This is amazing". It was the original LP version featuring Rod and Kenny. Our drummer was knocked out by Peter's drumming and when I said he was also the lead singer he didn't believe me. It causes me great pain participating in the murder of Get Ready the way we play it and I just wish the drummer (who also sings it) would keep playing one night so I could continue into JP's bass solo off In Concert

I agee. Gimme Back My Bullets is a great song. A band called Skinny Molly, formed by Mike Estes (briefly a guitarist with Skynyrd) come to the UK every year. I've seen them 3 times and they always play that song.


SKINNY MOLLY?? I PRESUME THEY COVER ANOTHER SOUTHERN ROCK GROUP CALLED MOLLY HATCHET?? I LIKE MOLLY HATCHET TOO!! THEY REMIND ME OF A POOR MAN'S LYNYRD SKYNYRD...THIER LEAD SINGER DANNY JOE BROWN PAST AWAY A FEW YEARS AGO...HE HAD THAT ROCK AND ROLL VOICE THAT YOU COULD ID WITH...COOL THAT YOU CAN SEE A BAND FROM U.S.
