I'd pay to see that show!!!
Disraeli Gears has been 1 of my fav albums since it's 1967 release. I still remember hassling my sister into getting it for me as a birthday present

[xen]

never heard of 'em :(

[zokah]

some people know them, tickets are now being resold for a thousand quid (http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/200502/s1294009.htm)

They along with "The Who" were possibly the inspiration for the whole punk movement cause Joey Ramone claimed they were one of the stimuli for the band

[i`m a wannabe]

alot of the 60`s and 70`s music is making big comebacks on radio rock stations

[zokah]

w3rd, a hella lot is being used as samples in new stuff too

[i`m a wannabe]

the new shit is nothing like the original...most remakes are through a lack of real talent

[zokah]

nah, I don't mean cover versions but sampling, it's where they talk part of an old recording and use it in a new release

[wutangstan]

I think sampling old tracks is cool, if it's done right, it let's the younger generations hear what real music sounds like.

[Gnome]

I have an original pressing of the Wheels of Fire album in good condition. :hyper:

We've had a 'classic rock' station here in vegas playing the same tired crap for freekin ever. like Hendrix only made 3 songs.

my favorite streaming radio station is Aural Moon.

[i`m a wannabe]

for some strange reason there is a certain aroura associated with the name hendrix

[zokah]

cos he was an awsome guitar player and willing to try things ahead of his time

[Gnome]

Hendrix broke open new ground. As with most anything especially art, there is the mire of the norm then one true innovator once in a while.

[zokah]

I do think that part of the legend is due to the timing of his death, the world lost 2 (or3?) great musical innovators in a very short time. Hendrix and Jim Morrison some even include Janis Joplin with them but IMO while she had a great voice she wasn't really innovative

[Gnome]

True that. I think it was something of a decline in the energy that propelled the turbulance at the time. Maybe symbolic of the turn from the flower powerishness to the darker period where the hippies started turning into the very people they despised.

Joplin I feel gave the rock scene a push back to it's bluegrass influences that the emerging heavyer sounds pushed away from. Away from Hendix or the British stuff.

how times have changed...
1965
In June, radio stations across the country ban the Rolling Stones hit "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" because they believe the lyrics are too sexually suggestive.
Many radio stations ban The Who's single "Pictures of Lily" because the song contains a reference to masturbation.
1967
Producers of the Ed Sullivan Show request that Jim Morrison change the lyrics to "Light My Fire" for The Doors' September appearance on the program. Morrison initially agrees to alter the lyric "Girl we couldn't get much higher" to a more innocuous phrase. During the live performance, Morrison sings the original lyric. The band is not invited back on the program.
1968
Sponsors go into an uproar and threaten to pull support after a television program shows interracial "touching." During the taping of a duet between Petula Clark and Harry Belafonte, Clark lays her hand on Belafonte's arm (Clark is white and Belafonte is black).
1970
Janis Joplin is fined $200 for violating local profanity and obscenity laws for her performance after a concert in Tampa, Florida.
1971
In April, the Illinois Crime Commission publishes a list of popular rock songs that contain drug references, including Peter, Paul and Mary's "Puff The Magic Dragon" and the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine."
In May, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) sends all radio stations telegrams threatening their licenses for playing rock music that glorified drugs.
1972
Radio stations across the country ban John Denver's hit song "Rocky Mountain High," fearing that the song's "high" refers to drugs.
1975
Radio stations across the country refuse to play Loretta Lynn's "The Pill" because of its references to birth control.
In November, Reverend Charles Boykin of Tallahassee, Florida, blames popular music for teenage pregnancy. Boykin conducts his own survey of 1,000 unwed mothers and determines that 984 became pregnant while listening to rock music.
1977
The Reverend Jesse Jackson calls for bans against disco music, insisting the music promotes promiscuity and drug use. (I acyually agreed with this but for totally different reasons :D )
1978
British punk band the Sex Pistols are initially denied visas to enter the U.S.A. for their first American tour.
1982
Ozzy Osbourne is forbidden from performing in San Antonio, Texas, after he is arrested for urinating on the Alamo. Osbourne's various legal troubles also prevent him from playing in several other cities, including Boston, Baton Rouge, Corpus Christi, Las Vegas, and Philadelphia and Scranton, Pennsylvania.
