    Yeah I have Chasing Trane on bluray. I scrolled back up to the thread title and it said nothing about rock genre, so there we go! Even better, 'Trane is a Philly musician.

    Also don't miss A Love Supreme Live in Seattle - a very extended live performance of the legendary album!

    Very cool- it's such a great film!

    I keep waffling on the Love Supreme in Seattle.  I'm really pitch sensitive and am told that performance has an irritating bell sound that goes on for a while.

    And speaking of Seattle, there is also the Live in Seattle album from 1971 (shown below- you may know this one as well).  I had that album many years ago but it and I got separated some time ago.  And then earlier this year I came across a decent original '71 copy on eBay that I bid on and won, a VG+ in VG cover.  The cover is a bit rough but the double LP sounds fine.  My earlier original was almost exactly in the same shape, cover and vinyl both.  It felt like having an old friend come back into my life after so many year!

    Yeah I know that part. It's fine - maybe a minute I guess. Something you can skip past if it bothers you. I wouldn't let that dissuade you from checking out the album.

    Pink Floyd Echoes has something similar, that guitar seagull sound, which seems to bother me less as I get older. My hearing must be changing.

    Only a minute or so?  Wellllllll... that gets me thinking again!

    The best country artist of all time IMO. So glad I got to see him live before he passed.

    So cool that you got to see Hag!
    I'm really bummed that I didn't get to see Merle play.  
    I got into country (classic, not the new modern stuff that Tom Petty called "Rock music with a fiddle", lol).  I saw Willie Nelson in May of 2005 and that show is on my list of all-time top favorite shows.  I also saw Johnny Cash and Family in April of '91, which was so great despite the fact that he seemed really tired.  He still gave it his all.
    Sadly, I missed seeing Waylon Jennings, and Ernest Tubb- some other favorites.  I should try to catch Emmylou Harris while I still can.

    But yeah, Merle was so great!  I really enjoyed reading both his memoirs as well, especially the first one, Sing Me Back Home.  What a life!

    That's awesome you got to see Cash. I've seen Merle, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and George Jones live but unfortunately didn't get to see Waylon or Cash. My dad got me into classic country music and we have been to a bunch of shows together. I don't care much for the current radio country either. If you're looking for a traditional sounding newer artist I recommend checking out Charley Crockett.

    It was the 80's and it was a movie about the teenaged Corey's hunting vampires. We don't try and figure things out in films like this, we just watch and marvel and await the inevitable Best Picture Oscar.

    Hey is that the same saxophonist that played for Tina Turner? This in back in the 80's. He always would play without his shirt, I gather to show off his muscles. It has to be him.

    How could I forget one of my all time favorite songs. Thanks Spotify and my funk 🎵 songs.....hard to believe this song is 50 years old....
    WAR.....City Country City

    A little bit more from Fred Wesley &The Jb's....Watermelon Man

    I messed up with that extended choice of City Country City.  That version the sax to me is diluted. This the version I prefer....

    https://youtu.be/jp6YN1llpiY

    While looking up the correct version I came across this video.  It appears to be a tribute band called...
    THE LOWRIDER BAND playing CCC

    Well done I think.
