listening to these brought back memories.  and again, the price will reflect the year

next...

"Frippertronics was a specific tape looping technique used by Robert Fripp. It evolved from a system of tape looping originally developed in the electronic music studios of the early 1960s and made popular through its use in ambient music by composer Brian Eno."

pretty cool stuff...... i wonder what i was doing that night....

that one was toronto, 1979

i love how some of these guys are connected by interchanging between bands

ahhhh, the old days of music.....

~all for now , the pooch

remember when......

ive been digging around in my house... cleaning things and sorting things.  i found an old box of pooch paraphernalia.  i dont actually remember when, but im sure i  had a good time !!

*sigh * bryan ferry.... roxy music is/was one of my top fav bands. 1979 i wonder how old i was.   massey hall is a fairly small venue in toronto.   i am certain that was such a good show ! and check the price !!

this one was at kitchener memorial auditorium.  that is the city where i grew up.  this one doesnt have the date on the stub.  going by the price, my guess is also late 70's.  i saw rush probably half a dozen times.  they were so good live in the early days.... you know, the 10 minute neil peart drum solo......

i found a clip.  its a recent one, but cool.  they always used to say "ladies and gentlemen, the professor on the drum kit"  the drum solo comes about half way thru.....enjoy

  this one was at maple leaf gardens, toronto.  i dont even know if that place is there anymore.  i will have to have a look sometime. ...and, the price was right.

those were the days!

and 1979 again...apparently, that was a good year!

all for now ~ pooch morning glory
