Music On Your Mind v.2

The keyboard player is Lewis Stephens, when he was young he was playing w/ Freddie King ('73-'76)

I likely saw him back then.....my first concert was a Marshall Tucker show in 1974 here in Pcola. Opening act--Freddie King. He lit the place on fire before MTB took the stage. I was young, but when it's your first concert you always remember it.

From the Jeff Beck Tribute concert. One of the very best guitarists ever, and one which not many people know of him except true guitar fans and folks having grown up during 'his time'....John McLaughlin. To appreciate him even more--he's 81 years old doing this! Amazing at any age but 81... That's why both he and Beck were at totally different levels to all other guitarists. When he starts ripping, he does it well.

Debut album for SRV and Double Trouble, Texas Flood, was released 40 years ago this month. Had it on cassette. Damn I am old. One of the great 'what ifs' to ask is how music would have been different if he had lived just ten more years.

I was hoping to get a few acoustic tunes last week but it didn't happen. Next time for sure. What a guitar player.

I thought I'd seen most Billy Joel live videos.. I must have missed this one. Awesome. Great move on BJ's part bringing Bennett out to close Shea. Good post.

Tribute to Randy Meisner, lead vocalist on this Eagle's song Take it to the Limit. Meisner died Wednesday, July 26th.

1977 recording so it's not today's standards, but he was the lead vocal on the original song and his last year with the group was 1977. Only fitting to see him do it.
