thanks, once again, TG...you are on an audio find roll, for sure!

so it's a few weeks prior to the Red Rocks audio we all we really digging http://www.corfid.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=19863

he has that Liberace schtick down pat...Fine as Fine Can Be on the ivories once again:) for that second last note, a bit of an authentic mishit of the keys this time, end of a long day...great voice throughout, what an era to revisit!

Now and Then, so nice to hear, with it's interesting, ringing ending...

Soul is the Rock, Bend in the Water, Cherokee Band, wow, the list goes on

that Cotton Jenny false start sure was sounding more like the Auctioneer, lol

good to hear some of that live harmony...bring it on back:cool:

Re: Audio: 1975-06-21 Seattle, WA
 

question: that harmony sounds quite full at times...did Ed also sing harmony or was it just Terry and Rick?

Re: Audio: 1975-06-21 Seattle, WA
 

Ed didn't sing..he says he'd clear the room if he did and probably get fired.

I will return to the subject of Tony G's roll after I finish a bit of lengthy research into finding rapidshare files:I think I now know how he finds them.
But meanwhile I must comment on "Now and Then": How simply wonderful to now have choice of two live versions. I think that the later 1975 performance is a tad better, don 't ask me how or why
This has been one of my very favourite Gordsongs for many years, ever since I found in my guitar playing days, before my stroke in 2001 reduced the abilities of my hitherto dominant left hand to get around the fret and press my fingers on the strings, I used to love playing the ending of this song because the final two chords are achieved by simply lifting a finger off its string,(I think I am right in saying)
I think that this song is well up there with the use of words and imagery
We now know that a "Curious Moonbeam" is a fellow resident of The Garden State
but I had long wondered what exactly is the "Golden Rule" A modicum of googling unearthed a great wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Rule

"The Golden Rule is an ethical code that states one has a right to just treatment, and a responsibility to ensure justice for others. It is also called the ethic of reciprocity. It is arguably the most essential basis for the modern concept of human rights, though it has its critics. A key element of the golden rule is that a person attempting to live by this rule treats all people, not just members of his or her in-group, with consideration. "
I had thought it might have some connection with the golden number the subject of another good wiki read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio
In mathematics and the arts, two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio of the sum of the quantities to the larger quantity is equal to (=) the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller one. The golden ratio is an irrationalmathematical constant, approximately 1.6180339887.Other names frequently used for the golden ratio are .....golden number
　
　
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...o_line.svg.png
At least since the Renaissance, many artists and architects have proportioned their works to approximate the golden ratio—especially in the form of the golden rectangle, in which the ratio of the longer side to the shorter is the golden ratio—believing this proportion to be aesthetically pleasing. Mathematicians have studied the golden ratio because of its unique and interesting properties
all well and good but at school all those years ago as a keen student of mathemarics I was deeply impressed by the golden rectangle as it had a certain magical quality or attribute as explained in a learned UK treatise at
http://www.maths.surrey.ac.uk/hosted-sites/R.Knott/Fibonacci/fibnat.html
a terrific read which introduces the concept of
Fibonacci Rectangles and Shell Spirals
what I clearly remember after a half century is that if you draw a square at one end of a golden rectangle the remaining rectangle is itself golden and so on as his little diagram shows. The resulting spiral is then cleverly employed by mother nature in seashells
　
http://www.maths.surrey.ac.uk/hosted...fibspiral2.gif
Such spirals are seen in the shape of shells of snails and sea shells

Search as I may I haven't yet found one of John's lessons on the Golden Rules of Forum additions . That is , the importance of brevity in posts . Perhaps it it is hidden away with the one on humility.

Oh no ! I have been kicked out of class again ( a class that I don't recall volunteering to be in actually ), and made to take no further part - apparently "convicted" for insolence . (The convict part was for you John.)
Damn ! It must indeed be 1975 again after all !

Err Umm When I set out to draft a posting here I am mindfful that it should be well composed and interesting to my intended audience.I usually sssume that the my readers will by and large have brains larger than a pea and an attention span longer than that of a goldfish,

Invitably as I develop a posting my mind finds extra things to include. Therefore . if the "honourable" member from Sydney North does not qualify as a reader or has no patience he is fully welcome to ignore all that I have to say and is excused class forthwith

Or else What??
Please Miss he started it!!

Re: Audio: 1975-06-21 Seattle, WA
 

A couple of years ago, there was a thread about this. Many of us learned the Golden Rule as "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"--as Sir John says, the rule of reciprocity. Of course, less benevolent people have turned it into "Do unto others before they have a chance to do unto you."

Ms Char(m) ,

ummmmm......the devil made me do it.
My Mum and Dad were teachers at the High School I attended so possibly I have never quite treated teachers (or even their self appointed cousins ) with due deference .
John's posts are of course fascinating (as he would be quick to point out) and often come in the style of picture books which is lovely really,- especially for those dealing with special challenges.

Re: Audio: 1975-06-21 Seattle, WA
 

Yes well, very nice of you to say so, but it reminds me that at my last school we referred to people like
you as "creeps"
I am just wondering what "special challenges" you have to deal with yourself other than the obvious ones I have already alluded to
I was somewhat amazed earlier to receive a google alert with a link to the
announcement of this particular rapidshare file on website http://guitars101.com
which I had by googling for "rapidshare search" already concluded was the most likely source of Tony G's knowledge on these boots, being as how there is apparently no obvious search facility built into the rapidshare website itself.
the website is far more interested in trapping the unwary like Char (who obviously believe everything they read on the internet) into believing that they must upgrade to premuium user to avoid seeing messages like I frequently did if I tried to get another download as soon as one download finished
"You have reached the limit for free users. Would you like more?"
This is in fact I think more to do with a silly and undefined "1 hour download limit" as one forum poster termed it because each time I saw that plea to upgrade I found that further downloads were possible if I was patient for as little as 10 minutes
