I had no idea Foo Fighers were doing a Bee Gees tribute band called the Dee Gees. With Dave Grohl hittin' the Barry Gibb falsettos. He's not quite as good as Barry, but c'mon -- who is? In the Shadow Dancing video below, those backup singers are nailing their parts. I love the Bee Gees -- may they live on forever!
Made in late November, 1969, about 2 weeks before I saw Jethro Tull, with Joe Cocker and Fleetwood Mac, at the Houston Music Hall the night of December 11th. Tickets were $6.50, 5.50, and 4.50, purchased at Foley's. I can't recall there being a service charge. The sound quality during the clips from performances in England is up and down. Hard to believe that they were taken from the sound boards. Probably not. Better during the film of the band off-stage, which is ironic. Well worth watching. In the comments on YouTube, someone said that it was like going back in a time machine. So true. Apparently made by a German production group, with German subtitles. In HD 1080p, believe it or not. I found it here, a good site for Jethro Tull fans: https://jethrotull.proboards.com/thread/90/1969

Glad you asked, thegary - in the beginning, I used Amazon's feature of "if you liked that, you would like this" - a feature that I don't think they do anymore. But a lot of it actually came from this board which is why I am so passionate about the music thread. It was Clutchfans and various posters that introduced me to such artists as Roxy Music, Sparks, My Bloody Valentine (and all the other shoegazers), singer songwriters like Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits (thank you @Batman Jones!) and various post punk bands. Once I started accumulating these artists and their albums, I went to the net to do more reading and research about them - usually using Allmusic as a reference point. On some stuff, I just took a leap of faith like with Captain Beefheart, The Residents, free jazz, etc. In some cases, I just could not see what the fuss was and I would move on to something else. But I would never completely give up on an artist or an album and would try to revisit it months down the line. Also some of it was reading what some of my favorite artists like and getting into them that way. For example, Radiohead is well-known for championing experimental artists. From "Kid A", I was able to get more into Aphex Twin and Autechre plus Sigur Ros. We used to have some really good indie rock fan posters here and they would suggest bands like Yo La Tengo or Animal Collective or Dinosaur Jr., etc. Or John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten would talk about his love for Captain Beefheart, Can, and dub music. This led me down the path of reggae music. Basically, thegary, there is very few types of music that I do NOT like - mainly country music (not the old stuff which I like alright), bluegrass, mindless pop music, nu-metal, contemporary Christian music (just can't get into it) - everything else is good with me. When you can honestly say that you get enjoyment out of Trout Mask Replica then you know that you are willing to listen to anything.
