The Best Songs of the 1970's

[Amos Otis]

To fully appreciate the lyrics, eliminate the word "room" every time you hear it.
EX: "Just gimme some head [room]."

 

[Amos Otis]

The album sucked, but the opening track was and is near perfection. If you couldn't score with this, a quart of beer, and a joint, well......wtf not?

Zeppelin at the height of their Powers. Osaka 1971.

You start a conversation you can't even finish it
You're talking a lot, but you're not saying anything
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
Say something once, why say it again?

You can really hear The Guess Who's "Undun" in this, almost like a re-write.

 

[abalonehx]

Are they similar in chord progression?

BTO and the Guess Who. Two great Canadian bands. None the less.

Geddy is one of the strangest looking humans ever.

 

[Amos Otis]

BTO and the Guess Who. Two great Canadian bands. None the less.

Guess Who birthed Randy Bachmann ya know....

I sure hope folks have had a chance to catch David Bromberg at some point. He tours to this day, with and w/o the Big Band. I've seen them half a dozen times, but his chops have slowed down a bit in later years.
In his prime, no one could touch Mr Bromberg. An epic performance here.

 

[abalonehx]

Yeah, Randy. Burton Cummings though... one of the greatest classic rock vocalists.

 

[abalonehx]

David Bromberg? A Jewish Bluegrass Flatpicker? Honestly never heard of him, thanlks, amazing stuff

May 1972

Sing to the noble eagle
Help is on the way
A government team of experts
Is a'rushin' to your aid

I know your not excited
An eagle is no waif
Fly on up to Canada
This country isn't safe
Anymore
That's for sure
