So, what do you put on when you want it LOUD! I'm not talking about the 1812 so the cannons approach live SPL levels. I'm talking about air guitar sceaming :guitar: , body numbing :yikes:, soul shaking (not to mention house shaking) loud :rockon: . I don't get in these moods as often since my "angry at the world" teenager years, but every now and then it's soul cleansing. I just ran some Joe Satriani "Flying in a blue dream" and "Back to shalla-bal" through my audio lab setups (HK A500 with JBL corner horns, Marantz 2270 with JBL L26's, JBL pusing some JBL mid-horns) all running at the same time and it ROCKED!

The intro to Sorrow - crank it you feel it in your bones! I'm
talking loud baby! It's a good thing it's @1minute 45 secs.
Sheer electrical power with emotion.
Well that's a start.

Either of his latest releases have some sick guitar playing and pounding bass lines that test my little 3wpc SET. Well recorded as well. There's a live track that had me looking out the window to see who was whistling. :scratch2: :screwy: :yes: MikE

Carl:

Sorrow?

Like Bowie "Sorrow"?

"long blond hair and eyes of blue,
The only thing I ever got from you
was sorrow" ? Great tune.

I've always been fond of blastin' out a couple live cuts, "Crossroads" by Cream and "One Way Out" by The Allman Brothers Band.

"Goin' Down" by Jeff Beck is pretty hot too.

I may be home alone shortly, so..............

Andyman, Nope this one is on topic. Momentary Lapse of Reason,
Pink Floyd. I put most of my 400 watts of McIntosh through my
JBL's. Track 10, as Wardsweb puts it "soul cleansing"
Were talking M.F. ing loud! Not just turned up!

Lately the only album I play at air guitar screaming volume is 'Ten Years After-Live at the Fillmore east.' I love the sound of the bass guitar. I also like blasting the song 'The Trio" from 'The Good,The Bad,The Ugly' the sound of the trumpets and the plucking of the acoutic guitar has to be played loud to be appreciated.

Holy Bass lines Batman!
Geespot,
you got some Stu Hamm? Way cool! I got his "Radio Free Albemuth." I had another of his cds, but alas, the ex got it.
Stu Hamm, Jonathan Mover and Joe were doing their sound tests at a local venue a few years back. I kept yelling "STU!" I swear I heard either the band or the roadies laughing!:p:
Then during the concert, Joe and Stu were back to back riffing and there was a pause. I was in like the second row of humanity and I yelled out "STU!" again. I swear Joe smiled!
I never heard "Linus and Lucy" played on the bass guitar until I saw Stu Hamm.:eek:
Way cool!

oops! Try cranking up "baba o'reilly" and "won't get fooled again"
from Who's Next!
That rocks!:pawprint: :pawprint: :pawprint: :pawprint:

Another fantastic guitar you can crank to: Steve Morse. He headed up the Dixie Dreggs and his solo efforts are killer. He did stints with Kansas and Deep Purple. Check out Cruise Missle off of his 1984 Steve Morse Band.

I don't listen that much anymore-I've mellowed as I've aged.

>>> but it seems that we are viewed as being a bit off center by most eveyone<<<
I've gotten used to that by now.

>>>Ahhh, I really do miss Jerry.<<<
Me too. I always prefered his concerts.

Here's a tidbit for you- They got together and toured, and they were selling CDs of their concerts (the one you just saw) they burned them and mailed it to you. Cheap.
Great idea-I wished they could have done that years ago.

Andyman

I guess I just like the loud rock n' roll stuff, preferably live.

"Live at Leeds", The Who, especially "Magic Bus"

"I'm Goin' Home", Ten Years After, "Woodstock"

"Rock n' Roll", Led Zep, "Heartbreaker" too

"Stormy Monday", Lee Michaels is killer Hammond B3. Great dynamics!

"Highway Star", Deep Purple

And probably some BTO too.

I love the Dead too, but never considered them as an ear bleeding, blow your hair back, LOUD band. Just damn good music. After all.................

It was called trading bootleg tapes. There were always tapers at any show and you could usually get a copy within days. I've got hundreds of hours of taped shows going back to '65:rolleyes:

Andy, I agree. I've never considered them ear bleeding either. Yes, gimme Live at leeds(extended CD with live Tommy) anyday - can't believe I left it off my original post!!!
But, when I crank my system, it's usually to the Dead. Bertha or Big Railroad Blues from S&R will shake the house as will anything from Steal yer Face. And the Eleven from Live/Dead is as if they were in the room with me:D

I am well aware of the tapers.
I knew people that shlepped in mic stands, tape recorders etc., and taped the concerts, but this is ALOT easier, and better quality. I was never overly impressed with the sound quality of most of the bootlegs(or some of the recent releases). Plus, the money goes staight to the band-always a good deal.

An interesting side-bar-

A drummer friend of mine was on tour in Japan with Yngwie Malmsteem about 2-3 years ago. They did two shows on a Saturday and Sunday in a northern city (couldn't tell ya the name), then travelled about 100 miles or so south for another show on a Tuesday. At the end of the Tuesday night show, a local girl walked up with a cd for autographs. It was a double-disc recording of the shows from Saturday and Sunday, professionally packaged and of fairly good sound quality. Looked and sounded like it came right off of the shelf at any store. Someone had bootlegged a digital recording of the shows, edited and mastered them, had them packaged complete with color photos, and distributed about 100 of them...all within a time span of less than 4 days.
