BOS5 Elvis, one of his loveliest post-comeback efforts.
I second that.  A quite un-Elvis-like tune, I'd say.

I've always called this the chart-geek's favorite Elvis tune; it only got to #16 but is much-beloved by people who tend not to be Elvis fanatics. It's a very nice piece of songwriting (one of Eddie Rabbit's first charted songs).

See my Elvis post in the Capital Gold/internet radio thread the other day.

I've never heard that Jimi death notice.

Another BOS for Traffic.  Great performances by Steve and err, Dave Mason on guitar?

actually this was a very nice segue from the death of Jimi clip into the elegiac "John Barleycorn"

It does sound like Dave singing with Steve now.

Nope, Mason wasn't on this album at all.  Winwood did all the guitars & bass.  And he was still only 22 in 1970.

Chris Wood did the flute & some percussion, Capaldi did the drums and some backing vox, and the rest was Stevie.

Well, drat.

Another BOS for the Mac's "Oh Well".  Great riff song.

ETA: So John Barleycorn was supposed to be a Winwood solo project since Traffic had broken up, but producers brought in Wood and Capaldi and Traffic was reborn.  Yay.

Yay! Finally an internet connection! We've been out since yesterday morning--some bozo was digging a ditch down the road and cut the cable. <grr>

Got in in time for most of Two of Us. Not quite the White Album extravaganza we'd all hoped for, but nice nonetheless.

BOS Oh Well.

Reading thru your comments this has been a pretty great set. Have to make time for the replay tonite.

Someone should play Paul Simon's "Rene And Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After The War" - a very lovely song.

"Apple Scruffs" would make it in 1970. ;)

The good, the bad, and the ponderous.  Though I do like it.
