1/24/75 on Midnight Special

I saw them at the Oakland Arena, September, 1973, opening for the Allman Brothers


They were able practitioners of the Southern Rock/Country Rock genre

Good songs, well sung and played.

The band was particularly tight this night. A lot of the songs ended up on Europe '72.

~ who covered this best, Joan Baez?

They say Angus, age 71, was shredding it Wednesday at Levi's and was worth the price of admission.



….and at age 25:



Angus claimed he was never in to drinking or drugs. He preferred milk, chocolate and tea. Married to same woman for 46 years.

Outside Lands festival lineups - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outside_Lands_festival_lineups

The devolution of the Outside Lands lineups to the present date makes one want to scream into the abyss.

*I reviewed the lineup for this weekend and I am only familiar with acts that have appeared on SNL the last few years and allegedly performed music. As Jerry Garcia said about rap, "It ain't music." To think Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Tom Petty, Pearl Jam and McCartney performed at Outside Lands.
*I am also not a fan of acts of my generation still milking it…..I guess Angus still brings it, however.

~ a few scattered good songs, mostly kind of ridiculous for shallow guys, like Metallica or Van Halen -- give me Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, Outlaws, or bust

I saw the Allman Brothers and Marshall Tucker at the Oakland Arena in September, 1973. Great show.

*Cameron Crowe writes about that tour in his book Uncool. He had an interesting run in with crazy Greg Allman.

Just when you think the ole gal should put her tired kit away (as the Brits say) she pulls this:

Madonna's 15th studio album, Confessions II, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 134,000 units sold in its first week. Released on July 3, 2026, via Warner Records, the energetic dance sequel to her 2005 classic earned widespread critical praise and strong streaming numbers.

Here is a quick look at how the release unfolded:
Commercial Success & Charts
Number One Debut:
Slashed straight to the top of the charts, marking her 10th career No. 1 album.

Sales Milestone:
Opened with 114,000 traditional sales and over 20 million first-week streams.

Historic Feat: Made Madonna the only artist with at least one No. 1 album across the 1980s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.

*Way back for me is 60's/70's. 80's are quasi modern history for me.

~ Dolly doing Townes might have broken Nashville

-- best Dolly, & it's not close, dog

May well be, but I found Linda's voice more pleasing to my ear (as well as Emmylou's).

-- for those cats who slag on Eagles, country rock or CA

according to the internet the Townes dude lived a hard life, badly, and died fairly young..

~ 'eat dessert first' is sometimes alluded to be a decadent 'french'-type gastronomic indulgence, practice, but is also (mainly ) a strong digestive aide if eating any sugar ( or alcohol ) at all, for protein or whole-grain carbs eaten later, seperately; and both sugars no bueno for dementia, brain health, overall, particularly later in life

How much do you suppose this guitar sold for?

And a Prince guitar…
