Not a great mix, but still some really groovy stuff.

That dual drum solo is insane!

Hey, no problem Conch. I won't hold it against you.

Music is a very subjective thing.

Styles, these are the best recordings available from that time period. They are all soundboards. The LA songs are particularly good quality as they were recorded live in-studio (at the Record Plant). They arn't "cleaned up" or dubbed like many live commercial releases, but they are soundboards nonetheless.

And yeah, the Porcaro/Hodder drum solo at the end of "Mobile Home" blows me away every time. What a way to end a show! I still can't believe Porcaro was only 19 at the time. One of the greatest drummers of all-time, for sure. It's a shame he died so young.

No, he was 19 when he toured with Steely Dan in 1974. He died at 39 from a heart attack that was induced by accidentally inhaling insecticide while gardening.

Yep, guitar player here!

I play a Gibson J-45, Rickenbacker 330 and a standard Tele.

Never really got into Steely Dan though. Most musos I know love SD and rave about them.

Anything The Beatles or Lennon. Pink Floyd. Neil Finn. Radiohead. Nick Drake... could talk music all day.

Hi Dan,

Love the Rickenbacker 330! Great guitar!

I'm into most of the artists you listed, as well. Nick Drake's Pink Moon is a favorite. Talk about someone who died too young! What a tragedy.

Pink Floyd has always been one of my top bands. Gilmour is one of my favorite guitarists ever. Same for Waters on the bass. Both are brilliant songwriters. Some friends invited me to see Roger Waters' The Wall Tour recently. I would love to have seen it, but $125, uh, no thank you! I'll watch the video clips online.
