The midday doldrums usually set in around this time, and the only two things that pep me up are the non-dulcet tones of my employer’s biteless bark and a good show from the Sugarmegs streaming server. Let’s concentrate on the latter…
Today we’re featuring five great concerts from everyone’s favorite decade. And while most other blogs are tripping over themselves to tell you what’s the best of the new, these five will provide a nice taste of what we think are the best of what’s old. The recording quality’s hit or miss, but the music is all hit. All hit.
- Ornette Coleman Sextet — Berlin, Germany — 7/4/78
- Pat Metheny/Jaco Pastorius/Bob Moses — Boston, MA — 1975-76
- Paul Butterfield/Rick Danko — Seattle, WA — 10/29/79
- Tom Waits — WLIR recording — Roslyn, NY — 10/10/77
- David Bromberg — WLIR recording — Hempstead, NY — 8/26/78
Does Rick Danko weasel his way into every nostalgic post on HT? Mayhaps.
