BASILE 44

@dvesean Still to this day my favorite Clapton song is Bell Bottom Blues heard only on WYDD. And I love so many of his songs.

Sunday morning, May 3rd 2026 North Las Vegas "Tell The Truth"/Derek & The Dominos came on my iPod Touch. Except for Eric Clapton, every single member of Derek & The Dominos are gone now. Drummer Jim Gordon, Bass player Carl Radle, Kybrdst Bobby Whitlock & Duane Allman, Gone.

In 1969, The Beatles gathered for their final photo session at Tiitenhurst Park in England.

Would you say Ronnie James Dio has the most powerful voice is Rock History?

@RockNRoLL_85 In my humble opinion yes!

@jjd922 @dvesean I forgot that! Thanks, Think you said that before. Certain of it.

@BASILEJOE44 @dvesean Blue Sky was Dickie Betts' wife's Native American name.

Friday afternoon, May 1st 2026 North Las Vegas The Allman Bros version of "Stormy Monday" came on my iPod Touch. Originally a T-Bone Walker song. Live At Fillmore East may be The Greatest Live Album Ever. And only ONE member of the Allman Bros remains: Jaimoe (drummer), 81!

@Marcello1967IT Until they broke up after Red. Apologies.

@Marcello1967IT King Crimson with all their incarcerations are my second favorite band next to the Beatles. Witnessed KC over a doz.times. I like this album growing up. Although, really didn’t love KC after they broke up after Red. Starless is my favorite song. Power to Believe my favorite CD.

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King - 1969 Often regarded as the first true progressive rock album, it combined rock music influences with elements of jazz, classical, and symphonic music while describing the devastating effects of war and conflict.

@Rockbertt @Marcello1967IT & of course the title track/ revolutionary!

@BASILEJOE44 @Marcello1967IT Maybe proto-metal, sure -but the first? Sabbath were already around that corner.. "21st Century Schizoid Man" is heavier than most in ’69, but it’s also way too weird to fit neatly into metal, i think..

@Rockbertt @Marcello1967IT True/NIB

@Rockbertt @Marcello1967IT 21st Century Schizoid Man is maybe the first metal 🎸

@Marcello1967IT Calling it "the first prog album" almost misses the point.. "n the Court of the Crimson King" didn’t fit anywhere.. It sounded like something had broken.. Dark, unsettling… and still way ahead of most of what came after..

@sam718849948108 @JVMonte2 Didn’t know this.

@JVMonte2 This album dethroned The Carpenters' "The Singles: 1969-1973," which had reigned at the top of the charts for 15 weeks, to reach number one in the UK. It's a magnificent work featuring a full orchestra.

Rick Wakeman released “Journey to the Centre of the Earth” on this day in 1974. It was recorded live in concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London on January 18, 1974. What are your thoughts on this album? #RickWakeman

@JVMonte2 At first grandiose. It took me several listens to appreciate more each time. Then finally bought the CD.

@20th_Centurygal Hard to argue.

Do you agree? This is according to ChatGPT

@JVMonte2 Both were not a small venue although both were third billing: Tom Petty/ Jake Geils Band top bill. Rush/ Kiss top bill. Dio/ Deep Purple top bill. Although, I saw the amazing Leslie West & Mountain at an Ice Arena. Alan Holdsworth at the Decade with under 20 people.

What band or artist did you see at a tiny venue or a club before they became huge?

@jjd922 My Favorite Allman Bros. Song, Jamie! "Dreams (I'll Never See)!"

@dvesean @jjd922 Blue Skies is mine.

@dvesean @JVMonte2 My second choice.

@JVMonte2 "If I Only Had A Brain"

If your life was a movie, what song would be playing during the credits?
