First thing - please see the video clip on this one by clicking on this post's title. I am not sure which is better, the MC introducing the band, or the song they do (the classic 157 Riverside Avenue). A local FM rock station (WDRV - the Drive http://www.wdrv.com/home.php) in Chicago is playing only live recordings of classic rock songs this weekend. It's their Live Drive Weekend for you marketers out there. Yesterday morning driving around on some errands (read: hitting garage sales) they played one of the greatest live songs from from what many agree is one of best DLA's of all time: photo above right. The song is Golden Country. If you don't have it on your iPod, check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se3O2vHG1So I will classify this further. What Gary Richrath does is put out the best live recording on vinyl of a guitar solo on a Gibson Les Paul from the late '70's. That's pretty narrow - but actually a large chunk of music. Sadly, Gary left the band or was asked to leave.
