I think I would partially agree with that. After Elvis came out of the Army his sound and demeanor were different. His first hit after the Army (Stuck on You) has a sugary pop sound to it compared with what he did right before he went in (Ain't that Loving you Baby, King Creole). His best post Army hit was probably Little Sister which sounds closer to the pre-Army days than anything else h

I don't understand the praise for the Dirty Mac. Is it because its a supergroup? Eric Clapton looks and acts wasted and fails to give a classic guitar solo in either of the numbers. And I don't buy into Yoko's "Art" (Maybe you had to be there?), but she ruins an otherwise decent blues jam.

I suppose this sort of thing becomes inevitable when a band sticks around as long as they have, but it's still a little depressing.

I liked The Beatles take on Sweet Little Sixteen from the BBC. They really let loose on it on way they never did in the studio (except for maybe the Chuck covers). Would have been awesome to hear them pull this out on their tours.

I recently watched The Man from U.N.C.L.E, even the dreaded third season, and enjoyed most of it. Now seeing his passing makes me wish he and David McCallum would have had cameos in the new movie. One role of Vaughns that hasn't been mentioned is Bullit, where he played opposite Steve McQueen. I think this might have been one of his first roles post Man from U.N.C.L.E where he played a polic

Do you think this will be properly remastered from original masters, like the Beatles and Dylan Mono sets? I'm tempted by it, but I don't want another ABKCO slap together job, I want a truly great sounding set that one can appreciate with the correct versions (e.g the original album version of "Tell Me" and the "Under Assistant West Coast Promo Man") of songs.

There was a Mad Men episode where the agency was trying to get a pop group to do an ad and they mentioned this jingle. The execs even went to so far as to go to see the Stones at Forest Hills in 1966 (the show got the date right, gotta give em props for that). However, even being in the industry at the time, would this jingle have been known to people in the US?

I saw this and I'm disappointed. First, most diehard Beatles fans have all three of these concerts on bootlegs in pristine sound. Second though, there is plenty of room on a CD to give 1 version of each song the Beatles performed in 1964/65 on the disc. So missing is "If I Fell", "I Wanna Be Your Man", "I Feel Fine", and "I'm Down". Certainly give

I've been reading Peter Blake's book on the Who "Pretend You're in a War" and he mentions skiffle, which is the first truly British music (if not derived from American folk, country and blues). Blake makes the point that every British act in the 60's (Beatles, Stones, Who, Kinks, etc) started by playing "skiffle". It's interesting because skiffle appea

In the US on PBS there was a special on Frank Sinatra hosted by Seth McFarlane (yes that Seth McFarlane of Ted and family Guy fame) that featured Sting, Bernedette Peters, Christina Agueleira (sic) among others. It was a very well done special and proof of Sinatra's lasting influence and talent. McFarlane makes the case that Sinatra's Capitol Records run is the greatest string of albums

It's neat that Dylan is releasing all of these 1965 Live concerts, but are they in better quality than the sourced bootlegs, or is this mearly a legit release of the bootlegs (namely the electric era boots, most of which sound rough).
