Anyway, one of the best songs on the album was "Thirteen." @tdhoosierturned me on to a cover of it by Bedouine. So, here are both renditions of a sweet song about being a teen...Enjoy... “The Ballad of El Goodo“ is the song that brought me to that Big Star album. I remember being completely surprised after hearing the song following El Goodo on that album: “Down the Street“, which is also the theme song for That 70’s Show. Up until then I never knew the show covered it. Of course, “Thirteen” followed “Down The Street” and now that I’m thinking about it, that sure is a great string of 3 songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 4 minutes which is pretty much all a guitar solo just makes me want to burn my guitars. Nels has such a unique style of jazz and rock. Nobody plays like him. For any guitar/music geeks, listen to how he goes in and out of those 32nd notes so flawlessly. Just incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just really good musicianship and crafting of tunes. I saw them at the Murat in Indy about 15-20 years ago and was just blown away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This got me thinking about shows that I've been to and the ones that stick out are ones with that soulful R&B flavor. The 2 below are artists whose albums I really don't listen to all that much, but if they are playing live at a small venue....I'll be there. St. Paul and The Broken Bones still play medium-sized venues (i.e. Metro, Murat) and they are a must see. Alabama Shakes blew up and now are in side projects, but before they won their Grammy's I saw them a couple of weeks after the video below was shot at a tiny venue. I was so close I literally got sweat on, which may be gross, but it was one of the best moments of my musical life. This may sound dramatic, but I've never had the feeling, until immediately after this show, that I've witnessed a historical event....haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really listened to their stuff or her solo work, but I know I would dig it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unique that you and I were students at IU at the same time. Also saw this guy perform at IU's Auditorium.... when he was much younger. Played for ever.

tdhoosier Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 I just came across this song and the guitar lit my jorts on fire. It lead me to this video and now they are a pile of dust. At around 3.00 in it just explodes. @IUFLA, weren't we talking about George Thorogood a little while ago? This takes that guitar vibe to the next level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are alot of good musicians and songwriters. But Merle Haggard spent some hard time in prison for armed robbery and grand theft auto. And found redemption. Which to me makes his songwriting so much more realistic. He telling his life stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
