what are you listening to at the moment?

The Band's 'Last Waltz'. I think it's fair to say some substances had been indulged in, going by the eyes of folk like Robbie Robertson (hugely underrated guitarist IMHO) and Neil Young

Talking of substance indulgence,  I think Iron Butterfly were prone to a bit of it.
It's said, and I know not whether it's true, that the title of their best known track In a Gadda da Vida was meant to be In the Garden of Eden but Doug Ingle couldn't quite get the words out.
Anyway, here is said offering :

A bit of 'Yes' My 2 CD set hasn't got this extended intro.
Much though I like the album the first disc with tracks 1 & 2 gets played the most
The rest can be a bit of a racket if you're not in the mood for it

I am afraid that Yes's TFTO never really gelled with me Mick @Newportnobby . The follow up "Relayer" was much more focussed and very different but not on par with earlier works, after that I lost interest until "90125" and then lost interest again...

Martin @port perran , that's the first time I have heard Iron Butterfly's "In A Gadda Da Vida", I like it.

Have you heard this...

The Band Geeks are a sort of tribute band and Jon seems to like them and adopted them!

Thanks Tim @Moonglum.
I've never heard of Geeks before but that's a very good rendition of one of my favourite Yes songs even if I now find Jon Anderson's voice a tad irritating.

I bought TFTO back in the day but never really got into it @Newportnobby although I quite like Nous Sommes de Soleil.
I rather lost interest in Yes after that. I still think that Time and a Word, Yes Album and Fragile were their best albums with Close to the Edge ok in parts.

Glad you liked Iron Butterfly @Moonglum although  maybe it's an acquired taste

[port perran]

Here's a band that I found interesting in the 90s.
If you like a strong baseline this might be for you although sound quality on the live video isn't brilliant.

[Moonglum]

Thanks Martin @port perran , here are The Band Geeks before Jon adopted them, good or what...

Love the singer Ann Marie.
