I am not finding credits for The Stones LP. Does anyone know who plays piano on the 1st cut? @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @Charles_Hawtrey @t_heislen
@Bix @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @t_heislen
I would guess Ian Stewart. He was their original pianist until he got demoted to roady by Andrew Loog Oldham because he didn't look right. He was a great piano player though. He still played on a lot of their albums and used to play from the side of the stage, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't play in any minor keys though. 😂 Oh, those have been around for years, most of 12 x 5 was done at Chess. I don't think all those tunes are from Chess either.

Thanks. I don't have my Stones history memorized.

@Bix @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @t_heislen I don't either just that I've loved them since 1964, here's a great cover tune from 12 x 5 with a great Wyman bass line.

The greatest period of rock, when the English set the groundwork by taking black blues and shifting it.
Clapton is an arsehole, but I love Cream and Jack Bruce.
@Charles_Hawtrey @Bix @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @t_heislen @Mfieck
Saw him live in a pub in Edinburgh during the festival in the mid 80s. Coincidentally I saw Clapton for the only time, during the same week, at the Playhouse. The difference was stark, especially on the songs they both played. Bruce was a great gig, Clapton one of the worst ever

Yes, incredible, I've never seen it before.

Saw Vernon with Cindy and her hubs at Jack DeJohnette’s bday party show last summer. Also with Don Byron and the rest of Living Colour. Cindy’s a badass. 🔥👍
@InUnfunky @killingfloorman @Charles_Hawtrey @Bix @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @Mfieck Vernon Reid has some nice anecdotes about working with Jack....
@InUnfunky @killingfloorman @Charles_Hawtrey @Bix @tgraph52 @t_heislen @Mfieck very nice! Also Santana’s channel is her and Santana. Not quite Carlos’s usual tone, maybe his amp had Covid (hence it’s mask): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I79GudcK-jA
@CanisPundit @killingfloorman @Charles_Hawtrey @Bix @tgraph52 @t_heislen @Mfieck
I joke that the good thing about that DeJohnette show was that we got to see Santana without having to hear any Santana songs.
😱😂🤣

You know it’s true, Bixie. 🤔😂
Seriously — who the fuck wants to hear “Smooth” and “Maria” or “The Game Of Love” ever again?
The AOR classics go down a bit more, um, smooth? 🙄😏
My fave Santana album?

I just got a double album of outtakes from Steely Dan's Gaucho which includes this song which was remade into Third world Man and which is my favorite tune from Gaucho.
Larry Carlton's beautiful guitar playing is much louder on this outtake. Lead vocals are also better IMHO
Steely Dan - "Were You Blind That Day"
Supposedly from the Aja sessions?
@Charles_Hawtrey @InUnfunky @killingfloorman @Bix @tgraph52 @t_heislen @Mfieck
I’m using coffee this morning for my own “Phase, Speed & Equalization Correction”
Thanks, good find!
@CanisPundit @InUnfunky @killingfloorman @Bix @tgraph52 @t_heislen @Mfieck
Finished product
Third World Man- Steely Dan
@killingfloorman @Charles_Hawtrey @Bix @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @t_heislen @Mfieck
So I was at work and didn’t have time to check that version.
Here’s the album cut. Much better. 😱🔥😎
@Bix @tgraph52 @CanisPundit @InUnfunky @t_heislen @Mfieck Jack Bruce is one of my bass heroes, for me one of the top maybe three electric bassists ever. Love Cream, always have, along with just about anything he ever did, also Mountain, Leslie West and Corky Laing. I even lucked into a '65 EB3 like the one he played years ago.
The Doctor
West, Bruce and Laing
