Saw Duane Allman play a bunch of times, including closing down the Fillmore East (after which a young Toker Villain climbed onto the stage, shook hands with and thanked Bill Graham, and lit up a number with Dicky Betts).
Duane absolutely tore it up on One Way Out.
But I thought this was about still living artists (Duane was the best though. And do people even realize how many times they heard him as a Mussel Shoals backup musician!)
so many other fine slide players....sleep calls....
Edit, NigelSSI, I've seen.. Mr Manx play live many times and he always puts on a excellent show... This video doesn't the depth of his playing. but... Love his music!.......
on, Teach your Children, by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young...
"...Jerry Garcia plays the pedal steel (slide) guitar on this '70 pop anthem, making it the most widely recognized piece of music he may likely ever - nearly anonymously - be part of. Garcia's bright melodic riffs are the song's fourth voice, providing a lyrical counterpoint to Nash's soothing harmonized homilies that spanned a hit-radio bridge over the much-hyped generation gap.
When Garcia recorded the track, he'd been playing the pedal steel for all of two weeks."
^Been meaning to ask tVillain, have you actually ever been one toke over the line?
I saw John Hammand at McCabes's, Golden Bear, Ash Grove, Four Muses, and Belly-Up over the course of about 45 years. He's always good. Favorite show was probably at Four Muses - very small and intiimate setting till about 2:00AM, but now, my mama don't allow me to stay out all night long.
Let us know!
