Forum MVP Dead duck Posted December 19, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 And the first album (tape) I ever asked for was Michael Jackson’s thriller. Used to play it on a fisher price tape player that I left outside under a tree and it quit working once it got wet and I graduated to a jam box.

I remember my 1st time in 89 when in high school. There weren’t head shops in the Midwest back then but electric ladyland in Louisville was a pioneer. I’d bet most of you midwesterners visited it in the 80/90s or later. I was thinking it closed at one point but it shows it’s still open. Bs69 I’m sure you visited and I’d bet Dino has visited half a dozen times. A Head shop to a 17yr old was like a fuck you to the conservative establishment when I was trying to figure the world out. Just the existence of that place was a beacon of hope. Prob made 5 road trips there in my life. We had a local place here in Cincy called the cupboard down in the Clifton area near Bogart's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Dead duck Posted December 19, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Most of my paraphernalia from back then came from electric ladyland. Or grateful threads right down the road. Ladyland is still open and kicking too. We got a 6 footer from there that we used to carry around to party’s by putting a lampshade on it. 😂😆😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP PoetryGirl Posted December 23, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I suppose it IS that time of year to reflect on the best of ... 🙂 I listened to Boston over and over. That one gets props too. Truly, my sense of feeling grandeur and floating away on a feeling was born by Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker". Specifically "Pas de Deux" and "The Waltz of the Snowflakes". Truly. Nothing gets me there faster.... Our paper listed the top 25 greatest live albums of the 70s. So here that opinion goes Jimi Hendrix Band of Gypsys The Who Live at Leeds Joe Cocker Mad Dogs and Englishmen The Stones Get Your Ya'Yas out James Brown Sex Machine Aretha Live at the Fillmore West Allman Bros At Fillmore East BB King Live in Cook County Jail Deep Purple Made in Japan Grateful Dead Europe 72 Lou Reed Rock n Roll Animal Joni Mitchell Miles of Aisles Kiss Alive Bob Marley and the Wailers Live Keith Jarrett The Koln Concert Peter Frampton Frampton Comes Alive Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band Live Bullet Led Zep Song Remains the Same Waylon Jennings Waylon live Parliament Live: P Funk Earth Tour Little Feat Waiting for Columbus Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous The Band the Last Waltz Cheap Trick At Budokan Neil Young Live Rust Enjoy 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP John A Posted December 24, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Boston was my first audiophile moment. Summer between high school and college. My friend's parent left for a month leaving the house to him and his older sister. His sister had borrowed her friend's huge Advent speakers, and I'd just bought a 100 watt Onyko integrated amp to take to the dorm. We mated those two items in their big living room, and with the help of some pot, a cassette deck, and More Than A Feeling at high volume I saw heaven in sound waves. A monster had been born!

Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted December 25, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 Boston’s first album reminds me of the Cars first album, which reminds me of Van Halen’s first album. Those stayed on people’s turntables for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIkeEveryOne Posted December 25, 2018 Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 Fast forwarding 7 years from high school I hear Beethoven’s 1st symphony for the first time and the most intelligent thing I could recall thinking was “Holy Fuck what was that? Incredible” . Thats a 5 star full course meal, whereas the dead was just plain soul food, enjoyed every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Rude Posted December 25, 2018 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 25, 2018 I wore the cars greatest hits out!!! Thank god for record clubs. 8 tapes/cds for 1 cent then rinse and repeat. Luckily those never sent you to a collection agency because I don’t know 1 friend who ever purchased the required amount. In college hypothetically we’d use fake names when submitting our album choices. Evidently we had like 6 roommates. Ooh and janes addiction. That was formative!!! I’d love to see them and melt my face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
