As an aside, how does the Bottom Line 4/13 show sound compared to the 4/11 “My Father’s Place” recording that floats around? Interesting that two successive shows on Carl’s solo tour were both broadcast on the radio?

I recorded the Bottom Line show myself, live off the air, yet it still doesn't sound quite as good as the Long Island show that I downloaded about 10 years ago.  Pretty close though.

Although I've always been a big fan of this song, I've also always fealt that it's 2 completely unrelated songs mashed together. I think it would have had been a potentially successful single without the "She don't know" breaks.  They come out of left field.

As noted, drummer Dennis Diken is a huge BB fan / historian / archivest. He recently co hosted a radio show on WFMU with Irwen Chusid on BW's birthday, where they played & talked about many BB rarities.

The band still does live shows. I saw them in November & they were amazing.

The "git" flub (comin' in too early) at the start of the second "water, water..." bit of the album version of California Saga/California is all too charming and a longtime personal fave.

Agree!  Hard to imagine the song without it.

Yes, & it's a decent attempt to clean up the recording, but it's still rather difficult to listen to.  At least for me.  I've tried to clean it up as well, with similar results, unfortunately.

A few years ago, someone on this board posted a link to a stock footage clip that absolutely fascinated me.  In the clip, you see the band jamming in an empty auditorium in the early 70s. Unfortunately, there's no sound. Personnel was as follows:

Ricky on electric guitar
Ed Carter on electric guitar
Carl on bass guitar
Daryl Dragon on keyboards
Blondie on the drum kit

I believe Blondie played a bit of drums & piano with the Flame & also on his solo album.

Is that clip still available?  Would love to see it.

Try this link. I forgot to mention that Dennis Dragon is on percussion too.

Has this been posted here before?  Apologies if it has.  I think it's something everyone on this board can relate to!

A work of sublime, twisted genius.

Agree!  I wonder if the folks who did this are member of SS dot net.

Ahhh, someone's at it again...I won't mention the name, but....I'll just use a pseudonym. Let's say Charlene Potassium said this:

Quote
Some of you have asked my opinion on the "movie"......
>>>>>>>>>Ahhh Grimm's Fairy Tale.......nothing in it is true about the Studio Musicians - how would anyone know it was true or not when they never were on those dates?...... I'm not a ditsy gal sitting in a fire hat, that never happened....and no Brian never did music in "two keys"...that was invented by people who have NO IDEA what he did....plus I never looked like that at all..... 
and no, the "world according to Hal Blaine" never existed.....he didn't "help Brian" at all...and the wifey? that's the biggest one of all.....some of her fans call her "Melinda"....but good you heard the music, that's the only thing in it that's real. For people who love fantasy, they get a good dose of it there. 
And if anyone reading this is angry at what I say, then yes...."the movie is perfect, all of it is true!"......that should make you feel better, (signed) The "Bimbo"! 
Glad I don't live anywhere near Hollyweird any more!
PS....just so EVERYONE KNOWS .....STUDIO MUSICIANS have been around since 1920s recording record dates, movie sound tracks etc.....we've NEVER been known by ANY OTHER NAME.....all 350-400 STUDIO MUSICIANS were NEVER A BAND....ALL OF US WERE FREELANCE, and mostly Jazz Musicians.......anything else someone tries to name us something else... is BULLSHIT. Real Journalists know this....see our real Interviews here: www.howardrobertsproject.com

I think she's finally gone off the deep end.

Some must exist, or have existed, but none are currently known.

So, they Cease to Exist?
64  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Family members onstage at BB shows on: May 21, 2015, 08:17:25 AM
Not an early incident by any means, but I'll just throw it out there:  When I saw the band at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island in early September of 1976, just after the opening act (The Cate Brothers) were done, a whole bunch of folding chairs were set up on stage at the side.  Just before the BB came on, a bunch of older looking folk, including Audree, who were all dressed up, walked up & sat in the chairs.  I thought it a bit odd to see these people, assuming they were relatives, coming to an east coast gig to see the Boys.  Dennis brought Audree out to take a bow during the show.

Just got the Target CD last night & this is, by far, the best track.

More likely a browser prob. My iPhone's browser plays havoc with the icons here sometimes.

Yes, I have the same issue with my iPad. I doubt the picture would be there intentionally.

I'll be marching in 8 parades this month.  I'm a bagpiper.

McGuinn was the opening act for the BB when I saw them at Madison Square Garden in the fall of 1974.  He wasn't listed on the bill.  He opened with a few songs solo acoustic & then was joined by a band that I think included David Crosby.

Also, I think Bruce Johnston played piano & sang on McGuinn's debut solo album in 1973.

The best song on 15 Big Ones was the only one not recorded during the 15 Big Ones Sessions.

Lindsey Buckingham - D.W.Suite 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9GOvjlPSVA

Although probably more a tribute to than about Dennis

Blimey…   hadn't dipped into this thread before. DW Suite starts off with a favourite tune (it's a trad Scottish folk song) of my partner's late husband.

Also Custer's marching song. For all the good it did him.

The melody at the beginning is "Wild Mountain Thyme" - a traditional Scottish tune. Later in the song you hear "Garryowen" which is a traditional Irish march that Custer was fond of. I've always wondered why Buckingham incorporated these Celtic melodies into a tribute to Dennis. Was it simply because Wilson is a Scottish surname?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-PZAv76qhI&feature=youtu.be

The trailer for a 2 hour documentary I worked on about guitars.  There are some segments with Blondie Chaplin.  My friend shot & edited it & I helped out with some of the post production sound.  The final product will be 13 chapters & I'm guessing will eventually be on YouTube.

Interesting. I made this exact post a few years ago.  Are you me?
