I got to get of here, got to get out of here

Sleep don't come very easy in a straight white vest... Grand Guignol at its finest. Alice, I am NOT worthy...

Fuck me, you cannot touch this. I feel sorry for people who pay a fortune to watch pretty people lip-sych while even prettier people dance around on stage pointlessly.



I'd love to see some live videos in this thread. Videos of real showmen - and show-women.

No, sir. I made a typo - sorry. Couldn't edit my post title. Post a live video that Alice can't trump. You won't be able to do it.

Funny thing is, I'm relying on concert footage that is 40 plus years old. Nothing that has happened in that time can touch what Alice has already done.

I'd like to see them, though.

First time I saw him was the Lace and Whiskey tour. I THINK it was Cobo Hall in Detroit, circa 1977. I remember the album, the venue - not so much.

I remember he was into his whole Humphrey Bogart phase and completely smashed all the time. The shame of it is that he was still a better showman than anyone who has come down the pike in the last forty years.

Edit: At the time, Alice's stage show was set up to look like a huge television set. In between songs, the screen would show interference and static typical of a 1970's television show. Twenty years before bands starting carting around their own Jumbotrons, Alice was projecting relevant images on a big screen - even though it was just a big piece of cloth.

The Lace and Whisky tour had the screen showing intereference, commercial outtakes, etc between songs. I haven't found anything on Youtube yet, but this gives a little hint. I did not have cellphone or video camera in 1977. Rest assured, every ideas that any performer has had, Alice tried to do it thirty / forty years ago.

Long live Rock. Long live Alice.



You know what's heartbreaking? Even with today's technology, no one can approach the imigination and creativitiy of the great live bands of the seventies and - perhaps - early eighties.

The Billion Dollar Babies album. Epiphany. Damn. I truly feel bad for my kids not being able to understand what chaos truly means. They know the songs, they know the music, but they miss the point.

I would rep you until you could no longer be repped again - but I don't have those priveliges.

lol thanks man, just glad someone around here like good classic stuff.

I'm stuck in html and shit as usual so i like to throw up a few vids once in a while to break the monotony.

Ah man I had hair as long as your pic in 1974 and deep inside I will always love how I felt in those days and how it was.

In the 70s ALL there was to do (for bums like me) was listen to music. So I got dang good at early 70's music.

A friend would come over, and you would listen to the Doobie Brothers or Tull on the new JBL speakers and hear that one sound you never heard before. It was a simple time. Maybe that is why the music was so good. That was all there was to do.

Long hair, sex, drugs, booze, r&r, cars, music and parties.. that was Americana in 1971.

That avatar pic is from 1993. I look more like Bruce Willis than Paul Stanley now.

It did. By WTMN it was almost 1975 and The Eagles were about to release One Of These Nights. Music was changing and Alice best days were already way behind him.

I am the 10 years after gen of McCartney, Young, Clapton ect. My gen was wilder than that gen as we idolized them. When they were rocking we were barely teens and that was what we wanted to be. At least i did. What else was there that was fun.

finally got a ride
this old broad down from Sante Fe
she was a real go getter
she drawled so sweetly
think child
but things will get better
we pulled off the highway
night black as the wheel

just gets better ... best lyrics of any song ever

Actually, The Eagles Greatest Hits Vol 1. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Their_G...its_(1971?1975) helped define me as a guitar player.

I haven't played professionally in almost a decade, but I can still whip out an acoustic guitar version of Desperado that'll make the young girls cry. Back then, though, it was sheet music and vinyl I learned from. All the sheet music - even guitar songs - were arranged for piano. Tab had not yet been invented.

Even at a young age, I figured Alice was done around Lace and Whisky.

Man Im impressed. You should have said something. hehe Here I'm going on about music and you can actually play music. Very impressed.

James Taylor, Dan Peek from America and even John Denver, their guitar work is so good.. I had visions of playing guitar. I even took lessons but only got as far as a couple chords and basic strumming.

Book good guitar is fabulous

Also I love the album Desperado



this is really good



cant embed much Eagles

this is good

I am a huge Alice Cooper fan, since I feel that he melds music and theater better than almost anyone else.

Some of my favorite non-commercial AC gems:



And one of my favorite songs to play on my 12-string guitar:

I played for almost thirty years. I hated the business so much I just left it - but I have friends that I still play for. I just have had enough of the politics.

You mentioned James Taylor. Maybe I'm crazy, but I've always considered James to be my angel, and my saviour. I know this is an idiotic thing to say in this day and age - and I'm an athiest - but Sweet Baby James has never sang a foul note in his life, and he has saved my soul many a time.

To keep an extremely long story short, I have had one true love in my life, this song defined it. I cry every time this beautiful man opens his mouth. When I die and IF I go to heaven, I will be greeted by this glorious voice.

Karen, she's a silver sun...



James Taylor is my angel. He sang about my life before I even had a chance to live it.

Going with the original thread title...

This was way before some of your time, so consider this a free history lesson.

There was this band The Animals, that were part of what was called "The British Invasion" in the 60's, and even though they were never to become as big as the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, they had many hits and legions of fans.

Here is their hit song, "We Gotta Get Out of This Place", which first captured my attention as a kid:



The Animals version of The House of the Rising Sun was among the first songs I learned to play on guitar:




Among the members of this seminal band were frontman and lead singer Eric Burdon, widely considered one of the great blues rock singers of all time - here he is collaborating with the acclaimed RnB band War, in one of my favorite songs of the era, "Spill the Wine":



Then there was bass player Chas Chandler. He went on to manage and produce The Jimi Hendrix Experience:



And of course, one of the Animals guitarists in the 60's was a kid named Andy Summers, who later gained fame in another British band called The Police:



Tonight's rock lesson was sponsored by the letters A, D, and G (three of my favorite guitar chords, in all of their forms).

As an aside: I am left broken and balling by this man. Everytime his sings this song I break down.

I feel sorry for everyone who does not have the same emotional attachment to the music they listen to. Its extremely cathartic.

Nice Animals. Very nice. Yeah it's funny you have to explain these songs. Now the Animals are again in that 10-15 year older than me club of excellent musicians but I do know the songs of course. House of the rising sun has to be a top 100 all time rock song.

Yeah James Taylor, listened to a lot. It is a bit melancholy for my moods now days BUT Carolina in My Mind is truely a beautiful song. Mexico, Fire and Rain, Walking Man.

aah I just seen Spill the Wine. Got to hear that.

To really know what times were like when Spill The Wine was a hit (what 1969) you would need a real old guy in this thread. lol and I am as old as will admit it. and even I was in grade school at best in Classic rock days. So it goes back a bit now days..

Not before my time at all. I was singing "We Got To Get Out Of This Place" well over twenty years ago.

I'm 48, bro. I grew up on Robert Johnson. I grew up on Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee. I grew up on Johnnie Cash, I grew up on Homer and Jethro. I grew up on Elvis, and my main nine to five gig was playing in a Stones clone band for about fifteen years.

I played with Liberty Silver when I was 15 years old.

My absolute favourite musician on the face of the earth, besides James Taylor, is Jerome Godboo - perhaps the most, angelic pure man I have ever had the pleasure of knowing - and the single greatest blues harp player who ever lived. Bar none.

Like James, Jerome is pure beauty and grace. Search for Jerome Godboo on Youtube. A local legend, an impeccable friend, and pure genius.

I'm 48, bro. I grew up on Robert Johnson. I grew up on Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee. I grew up on Johnnie Cash, I grew up on Homer and Jethro. I grew up on Elvis, and my main nine to five gig was playing in a Stones clone band for about fifteen years.

I played with Liberty Silver when I was 15 years old.

My absolute favourite musician on the face of the earth, besides James Taylor, is Jerome Godboo - perhaps the most, angelic pure man I have ever had the pleasure of knowing - and the single greatest blues harp player who ever lived. Bar none.

Like James, Jerome is pure beauty and grace. Search for Jerome Godboo on Youtube. A local legend, an impeccable friend, and pure genius.
Shit man you go back. Let me ask you, did James Taylor influence your early drive to play guitar? I know his guitar work is prob as pure as any. Just beautiful.

same version as his classic "Live" album

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you. Another brilliant band and hadn't considered for this thread. Right now all I'm missing is some Squeeze, or maybe some 10CC.

This video may not be the original band - and that means a lot to me - but Squeeze is the single greatest pop band since the Beatles. But I actually think Squeeze was a better band than the Beatles.

Glenn Tipton > John Lennon.

The greatest single pop band in the history life, liberty, music, and everything; Squeeze:

I'm going to it the sack, but I'm leaving you with an American band that can match Squeeze note for sheer genius. 10CC.

I first heard of this band around 1976, I think it was in either Hit Parader, or Cream magazine. Regardless, there has not been a better Top 40 hit in thirty years.

I'm Not In Love. 10CC:



Actually, this song sounded like 2010 in 1976. Sheer beauty and genius.

As soon as you're born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

Keep you dope with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.

There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.

If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.

Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters influenced me. I had a hard time getting work as a white bluesman from Scarborough, Ontario. Liberty Silver gave me a break. Played with her when I was sixteen. Played with Ronnie Hawkins a couple years later.

Never caught up with James until my daughter was born in 1988. She - and Sweet Baby James - changed my life. She introduced me to beauty, James helped me to define how that applied to music.

For me, the man is a living angel.

You too. I loved you input on this warm September evening. Music cannot be qualified, it means different things to different people.

It was nice to make a connection, though.

For me, these moments are timeless.

Edit: At the time, Alice's stage show was set up to look like a huge television set. In between songs, the screen would show interference and static typical of a 1970's television show. Twenty years before bands starting carting around their own Jumbotrons, Alice was projecting relevant images on a big screen - even though it was just a big piece of cloth.

The Lace and Whisky tour had the screen showing intereference, commercial outtakes, etc between songs. I haven't found anything on Youtube yet, but this gives a little hint. I did not have cellphone or video camera in 1977. Rest assured, every ideas that any performer has had, Alice tried to do it thirty / forty years ago.

Long live Rock. Long live Alice.



You know what's heartbreaking? Even with today's technology, no one can approach the imigination and creativitiy of the great live bands of the seventies and - perhaps - early eighties.
nice, i wish i was around then but wasn't even born in 77. sadly, this was my first time seeing alice. his greatest hits was the first cassette tape i ever bought when i was 8 years old. he put on a great show, and even did schools out with peter frampton ( who was also playing there that day). i will definitely be seeing him again when he comes around. here is some video i recorded of the show
