What kind of music do the "old" hippies listen to now?

Righteous!!

 

Kindred Sister!! I love all these guys especially Hendrix!

PS love your legpiece

 

Thank you, I'm still working on it..........

 

So-I say we all meet up in Big Sur-camp out under stars and do a circle dance around a fire to wish away the evil spirits living in the White House!-check your karma at the door-

 

Sounds like a plan....I am actually going to be on that side of the continent soon

 

THE GREATEST ROCK & ROLL BAND IN THE WORLD

THE ROLLING STONES

​

 

hehe, I was just out in Vancouver BC, Sunshine Coast actually, where I had some mushrooms and listened to It's a Beautiful Day (I love this and think their amazing), Quicksilver, Jeff Airplane, Dead, Big Brother, and Jimi for the soundtrack.

And the Nuggets compilation of 60s garage/punk.

 

Hi;
Well Janis, Roy Buchanan, the Stones and all were great but... I've heard it all! These days I listen to a lot of world music. Every now and again I will hear something that knocks my socks off here http://www.kfai.org/ and get right on Amazon and order a disc.

I suggest you check out Mulatu Astatke..very cool world music/ethio jazz

 

Hi dollydagger...heh..I was listening to that song yesterday...
the remaster is great! Look Over Yonder sounds fantastic, too!


My partner and I are both musos from the freak era...

I was a Zappa nut, and played in a Zappa tribute band, so I
still listen to a lot of Frank. My partner was a Janis Joplin
style singer, so still listens to Janis a lot

Other old stuff we still love; Hendrix, Creedence, Little Feat, Dr. John,
Beefheart, Tull, Zeppelin, Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys, Stephane
Grapelli & Django, Blind Willie McTell, Robert Johnson etc.

Modern stuff we like; Ben Harper, John Butler Trio, Junior Brown, Chris Whitley,
Live, Dr. John, Jeff Buckley, King Crimson, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson

Jus' a few suggestions...

Peace to all

 

i watch the news cause all the old music's gotten too fucking repiticious.If someone would only make some new old music.At least Counting Crows should come out with a new one.

 

I like all the old groups plus Collectoive Soul-I heard that Janis Joplin movie is being filmed any word on a Jimi movie?

 

Ive heard several rumors about a Jimi movie. Last one was about 2 years ago, and that Andre 3000 from Outkast would play him. That sounds good to me....I think Andre would be a great Jimi

 

I like Creed a lot -- for some reason, and a lot of the stuff on the popular rock radio station that I listen to in the car and sometimes at home, not always knowing the names of the bands -- reminds me of the old days. I don't appreciate rap, but I did like some Goth, especially Sisters of Mercy when it was together (I guess it's not now, but I don't know for sure). I liked them so much that I drove seven hours and stood in a long line with kids dressed up to hear them live in Philadelphia several years back. I don't know why, but that band reminded me of Peter, Paul and Mary. It's nothing similar, or maybe it is emotionally. I think that the worst music is christian rock. I'll listen to Metallica, always inadequate, but hoping they find their way as they reach old age like me. "Janie's Got a Gun" was a masterpiece and, in my opinion, the only good song by Aerosmith, but I'll play that one song every now and then until I die. Although I owned a Coffeehouse for a recent decade, I secretly hated modern folk. Country music is okay, less annoying than elevator music but not something to actually listen to, in my opinion. Every now and then I'll put on Jane's Addiction to get energized -- passed up the Stones in that department.

Of course, I play my LPs -- thousands of them. Loved Mothers of Invention before they became the Mothers, early Who, Jimi, etc. As an old hippie, however, I nominate H.P. Lovecraft (untitled) as the best album ever recorded and, ironically, the only good one the band released.

Jimi Hendrix was fun to watch-When he first put out his first album I heard him about 6 months later-He played Winterland-67-I think and when he hit the first notes; you could tell he was real good!-I had heard all the San Francisco bands by then so I had alot to compare to-This guy was completely all over the guitar -I was about 10 ft. from the front and I watched his fingers move-I could not figure out how he was making so many different sounds at once-It sounded like 3 guitars on stage!-It was all Jimi-And the great part was that when you looked at him he was having fun-He was smiling and laughing while singing and playing-Amazing-None of the big ego-check me out crap-he was real-and real good!-No fancy tricks just pure talent and why nobody has done a good story on his life is beyond me-He is buried in Renton near Seattle and I had a friend that would go to the grave site and make etchings with pencil from the head stone-I had one for a while till someone liked it more then me-Him and Janis took alot of talent to their graves-what a waste

 

Ahh robspace2....I think I would change places in life with you...

When people of enormous talent part from this world I like to think that they are needed more elsewhere.

I know that sounds cheesy.

The full 17:05 version ....
