doc benway Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) My nephew introduced me to Tosin Abasi's fabulous guitar work last night. This guy is very accomplished. Â Â Beautiful playing - very reminiscent of one of my guitar heroes, John McLaughlin. And I just noticed he's playing an 8 stringer no less! Â I once carried on an email conversation with John, he's a very cool guy. At the time he was very much into the Chan poets.

Just missed seeing Mahavishnu at the Spectrum in Philly in 71. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doc benway Posted July 21, 2013 Yes, I can hear the Jeff Beck for sure. I saw Mahavishnu Orchestra in DC around '74. It was the second iteration with Gayle Moran and Jean Luc Ponty. Although my favorite recording will always be the live recording, Between Nothingness and Eternity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

konchog uma Posted July 25, 2013 i used to go thrifting for a fresh plaid suit for each bosstones show, i think i've been to 10... then the scene broke and mtv started playing that music.. the shows totally changed, it used to be hardcore and we would dance on stage with dicky barrett and then all of a sudden like overnight they started putting a barrier between the fans and the stage at all their shows, which incidentally were populated with teeny-boppers on drugs and drunk suburban punks. fuck it another scene ruined. The funniest thing is that those teenyboppers have no idea how much mtv and pop culture ruined music, they think that i and everyone like me is whining because we are elitist scenesters who don't want to share the good music! hahahha just thinking about the bosstones takes me back to pre-Dookie punk rock and shows the likes of which could never possibly happen now that the internet makes everything popular within 15 minutes.  now that you've listened to my elitist scenester rant, i will regale you with great music from devendra banharts new album mala    Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
