Oh crap, I just realized it's after midnight (I rarely stay up this late), I have upstairs neighbors and I'm blasting Grand Funk. Whoops.

I bought the Animals version of Inside Lookin Out, on 45 vinyl when it came out.

A musician friend, digs the Grand Funk version / we have a debate on which is better. Eric Burdon's a great singer. Mark Farner's is more a long guitar jam.. Animals more Hammond B3 organ sound... cool number!

Grand Funk, remember.. changed the lyrics!!

Farner inserted a drug reference, smokin' Reefer and "Nickel Bags" for the Canvas Bags line .. There was a big fuss about this, parents banned their kids from listening to it!

I didn't know that the Animals covered that song! I'll listen to it tomorrow morning. And yes I remember when they changed the lyrics. It was a scandal!!

I'll have to tell my two youngest daughters about this. They used to go to Gwar concerts when they could. And come home looking like they'd been to a Gwar concert.

The closest they've come is a festival in Oregon. I keep waiting for them to come to Washington.

Edit: that was omnia I'm sorry you were talking about Irfan.

I love that Irfan video so much. The guy playing the doumbek blows me away. And I love the singer. I've only seen her on this one video of theirs.

My two youngest girls were going to a Gwar concert in Seattle and I didn't want them driving back over the pass late at night so I got them a hotel room on my credit card. Told them if they got charged for getting Gwar goo all over the sheets or towels there was going to be trouble. They did not, they were very careful.

Probably my all time favorite “guitar song”. First time I heard it (in the late eighties and high as a kite) was mind-blowing! At one time I had that album (One Nation Under a Groove) on vinyl, 8-track, cassette and cd. Now I’ve just got it on digital

I still listen to it fairly often.

Post by **Cowboy** » Mon Nov 04, 2019 10:37 am

GREAT thread! Allen Collins and Steve Gaines ripping up the end of Freebird. Bad Penny by Rory Gallagher. Still Got the Blues by Gary Moore. Ex stone Mick Taylor playing with Carla Olsen. Finally, this is hard to find on YouTube. The live version of the Eagles doing Joe Walsh’s tune Turn to Stone. Houston 1976 or 77. Joe and Don Felder play off each other so well.

[quote="Cowboy"]GREAT thread! Allen Collins and Steve Gaines ripping up the end of Freebird./quote]

Yeah, I love the live Freebird video.

When that song first came out they played it so much on the radio I got sick of it, along with Hotel California and Stairway to Heaven. Now all these years later I LOVE it when these randomly come on the radio. Damn good songs!

One of the comments on that video was something like "It's like Layne is singing at his own funeral"

eta: That video tears me up every time I watch it.

Also, I lived in the Seattle area when grunge was popular. I had more plaid flannel shirts than anyone. Now one of my daughters has a few of my old ones.

I watch the Mtv unplugged a few times a week, at least

When I visited NYC last Summer, I listened to it ALOT while walking around. It was recorded in Brooklyn, right. It was a cool experience.

I didnt appreciate AIC until later in life- Layne was gone by then. I adore him now...

It's very sad. If I watch too much, it bums me out a little. Speaking of which, have you heard the doomer versions? Lol. If not, have a listen. There's a few AIC songs but this one is especially gloomy

This was my very first Pink Floyd song and still a favorite.

Fearless - Pink Floyd

and I can't listen to that song without listening to this one too. They've always gone hand in hand for me.

Here They Come - Ten Years After

"Comfortably Numb" with Gilmour's guitar solo = Heaven

"Meddle" is a good album. I've always been partial to Piper at gates of dawn and Syd Barrett's solo albums though.

I wore out one of those on vinyl and the second one got left in my car on a hot day and warped.
