How exactly step-by-step do I get onto the site you are all discussing?
I tried to find the 3 songs above but no luck?
Thanks Lads,  Bri~

I agree with Sail On,Brian:
"Let The Wind Blow" from In Concert {1973} is simply Majestic. Carl's voice is absolutely Stunning!

And whilst we're on In Concert, "Sloop John B." from In Concert just happens to be my Favorite of all the versions I've heard in the last 40 years.

Bri~

After the Beach Boys:
1.Actually TIED w/the BB's can only be................Genesis
Anything from "Trespass" (1970) til "Duke" in 1980. 'Supper's Ready' is still the Greatest song ever written.

2. RUSH  - what more can be said about the most awesome 3-piece band ever! 1974-1982.

3. Gary Numan  - Huge influence musically on me!

4. Roxy Music  -  Bryan Ferry & Co. are still unbeatable to this day as far as innovation and artistry.

5. Marillion  -   The Fish era was incomprable!

6. Cat Stevens  -  what more can be said..............Harold & Maude!

7. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, King Diamond, Motorhead, Ozzy {w/Randy Rhoads}, MSG

8. Jethro Tull -  "Passion Play" and "Thick as a Brick"

Let's not forget Carl's now timeless and immortal singing on "Let The Wind Blow" off of In Concert.

Truly In Concert is one of THE Best live LP's ever recorded.

Glad to see you back Stephen! Happy New Year too you as well.
I'm looking forward to the  release of the 2nd edition of your book as I missed out on the 1st run.

I'm sure everyone on here would love to have your thoughts and opinions on the  release of "The SMiLE Sessions"?
Have you heard it? etc.

Thanks Stephen!

Live version of "Sloop John B" from In Concert.

A close second would be "At My Window".

Bri~

Interesting topic indeed!
  I've always relayed to family and friends that at my service I want the "Seconds Out" version of "Supper's Ready" by Genesis to be played in it's entirety. The end of this masterpiece alone is worth it.........."To take them to the new Jerusalemmmmmmmmmmmm"  Still sends shivers up my spine.
  Then the "In Concert" versions of "Sloop John B."  and "Let The Wind Blow".
  And of course to me the Greatest song Brian ever wrote....................."At My Window".

Fitting send off to this Musician.

Bri~

I would too! So if any does have it please post it on here as well.

Bri~

My FAVORITE BB song meets one of my favorite Zep songs!!
Very well done Mashup!!!  I liked it alot!

I live in the Philly area and work a mere 4 Blocks from the venue mentioned.

BTW, what ever happened to "Surfer Girl" that used post on here? I met her at the Mann Music Center back in 2005 when the SMiLE tour came here?

Big Bri

I was stunned to hear the horrible news that one of THE Greatest guitarists EVER passed away at only 58 years old.

Music just will not be the same without this Legend...................
And just revel in this video of his FEEL and Style:

Safe journey Gary Moore..............you will be missed.

Big Bri~

Ya gotta give Ringo his props!  He is one bad-ass Drummer!!!

I heard "Little Girl I Once Knew" at The Dollar Store last week up in Reading, Pa.!!
Imagine hearing that one!!!!

Bri~

WOW! What a Powerhouse rendition of "Come All Ye Faithful"!!
Truly, in the history of music the BB's have the Supreme Voices of Harmony!!
Stunning.

Bri~

"Let The Wind Blow" and "Sloop John B." from In Concert.
Even though I LOVE the studio version of "Sloop", I'm just slightly fonder of the live version.
Probably has to do with Carl's voice.

Big Bri~

"The queen in Copenhagee
The dream of Amsterdamee
The cream of gay Parisee
The theme of U Say Asee
The scene in Great Britainyee
The meaning in Los Angees
The heat in Tokyosee 
The treat in Manhattohsee 
Oo,yeah yeah the Funky Pretty"

 That just about sums it up!!  LOL

 Bri

I do believe that Matt-Zeus hit it right on the head!
Him and I both share the Genesis/Beach Boys as our 2 favorite bands. And the Genesis I'm talking about is anything BEFORE "Duke"(which was their last real Genesis LP).
It's the structure of the chords and song craftsmanship by Brian Wilson and Tony Banks/Mike Rutherford/Steve Hackett that actually make these two bands very "akin" to one another.
But above all...........it's the Heartfelt EMOTION that both bands bring to their music that has always been the real draw to myself.

 Bri

Sorry about that, "Selling England" WAS mentioned!

 Bri

I'm surprised nobody mentioned what might well be Genesis' best studio LP that came out in 1973:

"Selling England By The Pound"

Dancing With The Moonlit Knight
Firth of Fifth
Cinema Show
I Know What I Like(In Your Wardrobe)
Battle Of Epping Forest

A Classic LP!

 Bri

That shot is also in one of the Beach Boy "songbooks". I think the one with the Whit cover?
"Beach Boys Complete". I'll check it out when I get home......

Bri

Kayla,
  Do you write your OWN music?  I've been watching your stuff for a while now and you're extremely talented.

  Have you thought about forming your own group?
  I especially love your version of "Let The Wind Blow". That song has always been one of my favorites. Especially the version off of "In Concert 1973".

  Keep up the excellent job that you're Passionately enjoying!

Cheers,
 Big Bri

"The Last Resort"
Still holds up strong after all these years. I've always been a fan of this LP. In fact, it's the ONLY Eagles album I ever owned. Strong songs and as Donald just said it was a moment in time. 1977 to be exact.

Bri

Off "In Concert"
Sloop John B.
We Got Love (anybody REALLY listen to that Bass line? It's Amazing!)
Surfin' USA
