	12:09pm chresti: Andrew in TOkins!
	🛒 12:09pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Hey Joe (outtake)" by "The Byrds" Uncle. Is there a group that has not recorded or played live Hey Joe.
	12:10pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Hey Joe (outtake)" by "The Byrds" This sounds like it has more bass in it than the final version. Pretty groovy. Too frantic?
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: BiUK!
	12:11pm StringOFperils: Good afternoon/morning, as the case may be
	🛒 12:11pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Hey Joe (outtake)" by "The Byrds" Produced by David Hassinger at RCA. Not used because Columbia Records in 1966 were bound by stupid union rules.
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Does Croz really get credit for Hey Joe as a rock and roll staple? Who knows...
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: SOp!
	🛒 12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How often do you prefer Demos ? ...Makes you wonder about this whole business of Production...
	12:12pm chresti: ↳ StringOFperils @12:11 Aftermorning!
	🛒 12:12pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Didn't Want To Have To Do It (demo)" by "The Lovi... We could use a revival of the Spoonful’s model of manhood.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:12 Prefer? Hard to say. I enjoy having the curtain pulled back on process, so it's endlessly fascinating to me.
	12:14pm TDK60: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:11 Ah, thanks Franco. Mike Clarke back on drums was wild in this demo. At the end maybe it lost control a bit? I like it though. Showed they could get rowdy, a bit.
	12:14pm James Douglas: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:12 Beau Brummels - case in point
	🛒 12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:13 Right. Given the privilege of having the final Polished version as they wish...
	12:15pm chresti: KXLU had a show called Demolisten on Fridays with demos that were sent to the station
	12:15pm dan: Hope you got some early Elton John demos queued up for later in the show.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: ↳ chresti @12:15 listeners own demos?
	12:16pm duke: This is a demo comment. Enjoying the show.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: duke!
	🛒 12:16pm Brian in UK: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:11 I think not.
	12:17pm chresti: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:16 Yes. And local bands.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: ↳ chresti @12:17 very cool
	🛒 12:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ TDK60 @12:14 Everything Hassinger produced at these sessions were better than than the retakes at Columbia across the street. Studio A at RCA had incredible room tone.
	12:18pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Daydream (demo)" by "The Lovin' Spoonful" To my foggy memory this ain't so different from the final. A fine album too--Daydream.
	🛒 12:18pm (Mr) Bill: Uncle Michael rules the streamwaves as the supreme Demo-crat.
	12:19pm Webhamster Henry: I like how clean demos are before they get overproduced.
	12:19pm Roberto: ↳ (Mr) Bill @12:18 I hereby pledge my allegiance to UM the SD.
	12:19pm dan: ↳ Song: "Niki Hoeky (demo)" by "Bobbie Gentry" Best known version was by American Invasion artist PJ Proby
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Roberto!
	12:20pm Roberto: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:19 UM the SD!
	12:20pm TDK60: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:17 Huh- F.T. You musta read up. Could there be a reconstructed alt Hassinger "5D" album extant?
	12:20pm chresti: spinitron.com... Guess it's still on..
	12:22pm doctorjazz: Hey, UM, Hinks and Dinks. Listening while trying to set up my 1st NAS (and trying not to throw it out the window).
	🛒 12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love the audition tape of Laura Nyro - she's a teen or something still - tries to accommodate with some R&B Cover to satisfy them... BobBrainen spotlighted that.
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	🛒 12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Don't Worry Baby (outtake with alternate lead voc... Bringing It.
	12:23pm Gerry from Miami: Howdy, UNCLE MICHAEL! Hope you're enjoying this lovely FRIDAY the 13th. Diggin' the program a bunch so far! Two questions. One, could you please post the date or even the link to your first all-demo show so we listeners who missed it can access it in the Archives. Two, are you on next Friday, December 20, and if so, are you planning a "holiday" show? Thanks!
	12:23pm unpopularfred: s'up hinks 'n' dinks
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Gerry! fred!
	12:24pm dan: ↳ Song: "Don't Worry Baby (outtake with alternate lead voc... Beach Boys need to do one last farewell tour with Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, David Marks, Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar.
	🛒 12:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Don't Worry Baby (outtake with alternate lead voc... Jeezus. Imagine actually being in some small room they all Sing like that.
	12:24pm chresti: also other demos like from Black Sabbath, it looks like
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:23 March 3, 2023
	🛒 12:25pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:22 Oh, yes! Glorious.
	🛒 12:26pm Brian in UK: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:17 Franco, am I right in thinking that the Rolling Stones recorded there in the mid Sixties with no Colombia type hang up attached.
	12:27pm rw: Good morning!
	12:28pm rw: UM, you shouldn’t have said anything. Now all I hear is the high end. Not saying it’s bad, just that it’s all I’m hearing.
	🛒 12:28pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ TDK60 @12:20 Who knows. But this I DO know - Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones, The Jefferson Airplane Takes Off, Da Capo by Love, and the first album by The Grateful Dead where recorded by David Hassinger at RCA. I'm no expert on anything, but I know what rocks my soul.
	12:28pm Marie in Chicago: UM's allowed to make the rules. Hello UM, and All! Busy at work here now or would chat more. I love demos!
	🛒 12:30pm Brian in UK: Are we getting the Troggs musical 'discussion' recording?
	12:30pm TDK60: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:28 Franco- Interesting, hombre. Hassinger/RCA had better room sound. All those albums you mentioned are perky. That first cut by J.A. Strong.
	🛒 12:30pm (Mr) Bill: UM, how ‘bout a Hanukkah show two weeks from today? If there isn’t enough Hanukkah-themed music, you can fill out the show with a birthday tribute to me. Just kidding—I’m a kidder.
	🛒 12:33pm Brian in UK: Uncle, yes compelling, like a window into the potential of a song.
	12:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "When I Paint My Masterpiece (demo)" by "Bob Dylan" Nice!
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: rw! Marie!
	🛒 12:34pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, I was going to pay bills in the kitchen, but fuck that shit. I'm going to hang out in the living room and listen to demos!
	12:34pm dan: Is that Dylan playing the piano?
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @12:34 yes
	12:35pm Marie in Chicago: I love that line "some day everything is gonna sound like a rhapsody..."
	12:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "When I Paint My Masterpiece (demo)" by "Bob Dylan" The chords and layout are different than the released version.
	12:36pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "When I Paint My Masterpiece (demo)" by "Bob Dylan" His voice here sounds like this could've been on "New Morning."
	🛒 12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: To the point - Demos are more 'Punk'. What Kerouac said about First Thot Best Thot - transferred to this Music & Songwriting thing. That is - obvsly it's more spontaneous - which means more expressive, fresh - honest... & frankly less Commercial, pandering - &tc. ... The rough Edges are what we are in it for, matter of fact... Otoh - the final Production is the complete fleshed-out thing the Artist signs off on for General Release ...& our consumption. Demos are generally Recorded crudely with lowfi...
	🛒 12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...broadly comparable to small Sketches - & finished Paintings, is how I think of it a lot...
	12:38pm TDK60: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:34 Franco: One could pay the friggin' bills while sitting in the living room listening to demos. And chew gum. But you're not that One.
	12:39pm unpopularfred: ↳ Song: "Life Is White (demo)" by "Big Star" forgive me for not being able to tell - Is this Chris or Alex?
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: It's Alex.
	12:41pm StringOFperils: Pretty nice demo.
	12:41pm rw: When thinking about whether demos or alternate takes are better, I like to turn it around and think what it would have been like if we’d heard the demo for years then had the discovery of hearing the final product. Again, not making a judgement call, just something to consider.
	12:42pm rw: How’s that for non-committal? It’s one of my specialties.
	12:42pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Talent Show (demo)" by "The Replacements" This reminds me a lot of "Etch-a-Sketch".
	12:42pm nachurall: love that Alex Chilton cut
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: nachurall! Robert!
	12:43pm wenzo: Waddupdoe
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: waddup-zo?
	🛒 12:44pm dutchtheo: Uncle! Only hits!
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: I love Bob's Fozzy-Skyline voice.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	12:45pm Pedro in Arlington: Two songs by Timothee Chalamet. Nice.
	12:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ring of Fire (outtake)" by "Bob Dylan" There's so much Dylan out there now!
	🛒 12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ rw @12:41 Well it's gonna Depend a lot. I think TheBeatles & GeorgeMartin for example were a total Team as Creators. I love hearing every bit of how they got to the final Product. But they got the Creative balance very right down the line... Which I guess is to say that it all puts the interrogation lamp on what this thing is with Production overall...
	🛒 12:46pm egould: ↳ Song: "Ring of Fire (outtake)" by "Bob Dylan" Nice New Orleans shuffle. I like it. Hi Uncle Michael. Hi listening listeners.
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: egould!
	🛒 12:47pm WR: Hello Uncle Michael and streaming folks.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: WR!
	🛒 12:48pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ TDK60 @12:38 My rule of thumb is this: Only pay bills with potential consequences in the near future. Today - moving violations. I can do that AFTER the show
	12:48pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @12:38 Neither am I One. and don't chew gum any more.
	🛒 12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:45 ...tho - say - Martin himself regretted not getting the intimacy of Lennon's first presentation of 'Strawberry Fields' to him as he sat on a chair & strummed. While @ the same time that releases's Production is about the Best Thing Ever I'd posit... For a rather notable case we have record of the stages of...
	12:49pm rw: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:45 Ha! RR, I’m glad you responded. I was just going to say I totally agree with your previous post. And I was thinking about a parallel with Rudy Van Gelder as your George Martin example.
	🛒 12:50pm egould: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:34 Listening to demos with friends > paying bills.
	12:52pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "20th Century Boy (outtake)" by "The Replacements" sounds great
	🛒 12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ rw @12:49 Van Gelder an example of Producing with a light enuff touch - & being a superb Engineer & Recordist - with yet an emphasis on Simplicity or even Minimalism there. Jazz in that idiom being a specific thing about Playing of course. Pop was always about novel Sounds & the Electronics...
	🛒 12:53pm WR: Greatly enjoying what I'm hearing today. Hearing you comment regarding what you like about demo's made me think a bit about why I am enjoying these so much. One thing is that many of them sound like how I have most enjoyed music, listening in person in rehearsal as a musician or friend of the band. Better sound than most any live venue. More comfortable than most any live venue. Hearing the music the people are making not what the team thought a finished product for radio or commerce should sound like at any particular time and place.
	🛒 12:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ egould @12:50 Ha! No contest.
	12:54pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Talent Show (demo)" by "The Replacements" If you're wondering what I was referring to as "Etch A Sketch", it turns out to be a common mishearing of "catch as catch can" from Van Halen's "Little Guitars". I'd've probbly never learned the actual lyric had I not tried to look it up now.
	🛒 12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ WR @12:53 Right.
	12:55pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "All Down The Line (demo)" by "The Rolling Stones" Wow, three years before it made it to official release.
	🛒 12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Roberto @12:55 Notable.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Roberto @12:55 They took stabs at this one a few times before Exile.
	🛒 12:57pm egould: ↳ Song: "All Down The Line (demo)" by "The Rolling Stones" This is great. Just five guys sitting in a circle working out a song.
	🛒 12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Maybe 'Exile' is like 'Kind of Blue' ...the Year doesn't matter ? Then again - they are very much 1972 & 1959...
	🛒 1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there's Townshend's 'Scoops'. Some have even termed TheWho a PeteTownshend Coverband :D ...
	1:01pm Gerry from Miami: Getting back to that "Don't Worry, Baby" outtake by the Beach Boys, is that BRIAN or CARL? I sometimes have a tough time distinguishing one from the other. Wasn't Brian more capable of singing the high falsettos, even though, in my opinion, CARL.was the superior singer overall.
	1:02pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:01 Hola Revrabbit: I haven't listened to that in a while.
	🛒 1:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Exile' celebrated as more about a sustained Atmosphere than refined Songs in the first place ...if spawning over a Double...
	1:03pm dan: Is anyone familiar with the pre-Let It Be Beatles bootleg known as Kum Back? It was sold in a plain white case with the title stamped on. It's a rare collector's item.
	🛒 1:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:03 ...spraw*ling ...whatever they got up to in France...
	1:06pm Hunterian: Digging the delightful demos
	🛒 1:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dan @1:03 Well the whole Jan. 1969 Get Back sessions - our one & only chance for hours of material - the entire process - of TheBeatles putting an Album together in the Studio in realtime... 60 hours of film, & even more Tape... Including McCartney pulling Hits out his backside like breathing...
	1:07pm Starkville Bill: l been enjoying all of this program
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Hunterian! Bill!
	🛒 1:08pm WR: ↳ Song: "Hey Joe (outtake)" by "The Byrds" Relative to your comment about being a tryout for a song, recent rabbit hole journey I had for Hey Joe I saw a comment from Crosby that if he has let one of the other guys (i forget who) take the vocal that the Byrds version would have more likely made the album and the song got to the public before others recordings did.
	1:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day (acoustic demo)" by "Lou Reed" WOW!!!
	1:09pm spodiodi: greetings, UM and all!
	1:09pm dan: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day (acoustic demo)" by "Lou Reed" One of the only times Lou Reed sounds happy when he sings.
	1:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day (acoustic demo)" by "Lou Reed" Intonation so so, but it's Lou...
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: spodi!
	🛒 1:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ WR @1:08 In fact the Hendrix version notable for slowing it back down - if Heavy...
	🛒 1:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day (acoustic demo)" by "Lou Reed" Producer would be one DavidBowie... Whole disc of Demos pretty much the VU box...
	🛒 1:12pm egould: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day (acoustic demo)" by "Lou Reed" I need to listen to this version alot. Alot alot.
	🛒 1:12pm WR: ↳ Song: "Songbird (demo)" by "Fleetwood Mac" Christine Perfect!
	1:12pm dan: ↳ Song: "Songbird (demo)" by "Fleetwood Mac" I never understood the hype for Stevie Nicks. Christine McVie was the heart and soul of Fleetwood Mac and her songs are superior to Nicks' any day.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: "...singing like they knew the score..." layers of meaning.
	1:13pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Songbird (demo)" by "Fleetwood Mac" Christine was Perfect.
	1:13pm dan: ↳ Roberto @1:13 In more ways than one.
	1:13pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Songbird (demo)" by "Fleetwood Mac" Her voice is unique and special
	1:13pm ken krimstein: This one gives me chills… songbird
	🛒 1:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Songbird (demo)" by "Fleetwood Mac" Nyro fan you reckon ?
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Ken!
	1:14pm johnk77: just like the broadway drama stereophonic songbird sets the controls for the heart of the music biz sausalito 1977
	1:15pm ken krimstein: Hi Unc…
	1:15pm dan: Fleetwood Mac should have dumped Nicks instead of Buckingham and brought back Bekka Bramlett. Watch the 1994 concert entitled "Another Link In The Chain", Bekka sings circles around Stevie and was a great fit to the group.
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: john!
	1:15pm ken krimstein: Watching Get Smart on TV
	1:16pm johnk77: sound check @5:02
	🛒 1:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Danny Says (demo)" by "Ramones" ...& - Punk itself. Play Rawk - & just Record it.
	1:17pm johnk77: 100b a room at the tropicana west hollywood, california
	🛒 1:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:16 ...I mean - it's what Brooce shoulda done.
	1:18pm ken krimstein: Anyone remember the TV ad that actually ran on Telly for this album??!! Unbelievable. I think it ran on SNL. Ha!!!
	1:19pm ken krimstein: Get Happy
	1:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Riot Act (demo)" by "Elvis Costello & The Attract... Boy, does this sound different- more edgy (and it's an edgy song in the released version).
	1:21pm Gerry from Miami: @ken krimstein. What was so unbelievable about that "Get Happy" ad?
	1:22pm ken krimstein: That they ran a TV ad for an album…and it was fun and retro.
	1:22pm dan: ↳ Song: "Country Comfort (demo)" by "Elton John" Tumbleweed Connection is the most underrated Elton album of the early era. It's so different from everything else he's done before or since.
	1:23pm Gerry from Miami: Poor Elton can't see any more. But, thankfully, he did complete that Final World Tour---took 3 years!
	1:24pm dan: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:23 I got to see Elton in 2011 at MSG and it was worth every penny. An absolute legend.
	1:25pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Whole Lotta Woman (outtake)" by "Faces" I was just reading an article about Rod's model railway. He's got quite the setup!
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "Whole Lotta Woman (outtake)" by "Faces" I suspect alcohol.
	🛒 1:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Whole Lotta Woman (outtake)" by "Faces" ...it's just possible TheFaces had a good time...
	🛒 1:27pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Whole Lotta Woman (outtake)" by "Faces" ⭐🔊🔊
	🛒 1:27pm DjLorraine: Hey there songbirds
	🛒 1:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:26 ...not to say - were completely Faced...
	1:29pm Mhinca: UM, great show so far. I love demos/alt versions, & add em to my CD (yes CD) collection whenever possible. Thanks!
	1:30pm dan: ↳ Song: "Telstar (demo)" by "Dave Adams & The Outlaws" Air Supply is probably the only group I know where the two members are genuinely friends as well as bandmates. I thought Hall and Oates were the same, but recent news showed otherwise.
	1:30pm johnk77: ian mclagan's book all the rage is off the charts great and also covers dylan and many others
	1:30pm Mhinca: ↳ dan @1:12 Dan, amen to that!
	1:31pm Roberto: The ShitFaces.
	1:31pm dan: ↳ johnk77 @1:30 He lived in Austin TX at the time of his death and was a big name in their music scene. doing a weekly run at one of the top clubs there.
	1:31pm StringOFperils: Get Happy is my favourite Attractions album. Just a certain balance and speed-fed productivity.
	1:34pm johnk77: ↳ dan @1:31 only met mac mclagan once when he was in bonnie raitt's road band
	1:34pm spodiodi: 1972... never realized Perfect day was so old and yay for the DEVO
	1:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Strawberry Fields (demo)" by "John Lennon" WOW!!!!!
	1:35pm ken krimstein: 1966!
	1:35pm dan: ↳ Song: "Strawberry Fields (demo)" by "John Lennon" Opens Disc 2 of Anthology 2.
	🛒 1:35pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Riot Act (demo)" by "Elvis Costello & The Attract... I saw Elvis Costello at Hollywood High School in 1978. it was one of THOSE concerts. As memorable as the show was, the scene at Tommy's on Ramparts after the show was equally berserk.
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: DJL! Mhinca!
	1:36pm doctorjazz: I've see Elvis Costello a few times, always a great show!
	1:36pm johnk77: the attraction's pete thomas 1 of the best live drummers
	1:36pm dan: ↳ johnk77 @1:34 I mentioned Ricky Fataar before, was he already in Raitt's band at that time?
	1:36pm Marie in Chicago: I heard that John Lennon didn't like his own singing voice. I love it.
	🛒 1:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Attractions - great band.
	🛒 1:37pm egould: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:35 I miss Tommy's at 3rd and Rampart.
	1:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Strawberry Fields (demo)" by "John Lennon" I always thought the harmonies were changed to match the orchestration-pretty much all there on this acoustic guitar version!
	1:37pm ken krimstein: Clapton? Ringo?
	1:38pm StringOFperils: Strawberry Fields was all worked out in that demo. The final song isn't much different all...mellotron notwithstanding [sorry had to put those two words together at any cost]
	🛒 1:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:36 Tended to want it treated with effects. Yet he surely knew the value of it - saying for instance he shoulda sung this or that instead of Paul... Lennon's Voice one of my Favorite Instruments Ever - without qualifications.
	1:38pm dan: ↳ Song: "What Is Life (acetate demo)" by "George Harrison" What is Life was pretty much George Harrison, Derek and the Dominoes and Badfinger performing together.
	1:38pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "What Is Life (acetate demo)" by "George Harrison" Neat!
	🛒 1:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "What Is Life (acetate demo)" by "George Harrison" ..& Spector (over)Producing...
	1:39pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "What Is Life (acetate demo)" by "George Harrison" A lot more piani in this take.

	🛒 1:51pm egould: ↳ Song: "Stiff Competition (outtake)" by "Cheap Trick" Whatever became of these guys?
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: ↳ ken krimstein @1:50 It's Hamer time.
	🛒 1:51pm MarciB: ↳ egould @1:51 I think they're still playing!
	🛒 1:51pm Brian in UK: ↳ johnk77 @1:46 Yes, I guess that is what I meant.
	🛒 1:51pm DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Stiff Competition (outtake)" by "Cheap Trick" The 18th of Dec they are playing near by
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: Marci! Yep!
	1:52pm ken krimstein: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:51 Pride of Rockford
	🛒 1:52pm MarciB: I saw CT years ago at Irving Plaza playing songs from their early albums. Great show.
	1:53pm ken krimstein: Hello there ladies and gentlemen
	🛒 1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Stiff Competition (outtake)" by "Cheap Trick" Just play Rawk & Record it.
	🛒 1:53pm egould: Can you honestly tell me you forgot? Forgot the magnetism of Robin Zander, or the charisma of Rick Nielsen?
	1:54pm dan: ↳ Song: "One Of The Boys (demo)" by "Mott The Hoople" Beginning of this song sounded like "Road To Kingdom Come" by Lindisfarne.
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @1:53 I can barely remember my fast times.
	🛒 1:55pm egould: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:55 ;-)
	🛒 1:56pm DjLorraine: Pseu played us Southern Girls
	1:56pm StringOFperils: Cheap Trick probably don't remember a lot about Cheap Trick. They've been too busy.
	1:56pm ken krimstein: Wham bam thank you mam-ish…
	🛒 1:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @1:56 Well - always interesting to compare the memories of the actual Beatles to the research of the Historians...
	2:02pm StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:57 Too many people preaching practices Don't let them tell you what you wanna be.__Macca
	2:02pm Listener Robert: My understanding is that Carlos still drums with them ceremonially if and when they come to Rockford.
	🛒 2:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Paul does of course have a brother Michael. & had a mother Mary...
	2:04pm Marie in Chicago: I don't think Pete Townsend is some shining example of humanity nor do I think, personally, that he is up there as one of greats in terms of musicmakesrs. I love Led Zeppelin.
	2:05pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:04 just my o-pini-on
	2:05pm johnk77: bun e killed it live w/tinted windows
	2:05pm hopey: Search "Bun E’s Basement Bootlegs" on youtube for more Cheap Trick demos and live recordings. It's quite a treasure trove.
	2:07pm Marie in Chicago: why am I not surprised that so many people want to tear down one of the best rock bands ever
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: ↳ johnk77 @2:05 Damn...I'd have loved to see that band live!
	2:07pm dan: ↳ Song: "Bullitt (demo)" by "Lalo Schifrin" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5_9fYU8jd4&pp=ygUtbGVkIHplcHBlbGluIGlpIGlmIGl0IHdhcyByZWNvcmRlZCBpbiB0aGUgNTBz Speaking of Led Zeppelin, check out this video entitled "What if Led Zeppelin II was Recorded in the 1950s"
	🛒 2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:04 Well - the consensus would be Pete is pretty significant indeed. Just in developing larger amplifiers ...& much much more. But obvsly he's jealous of Zep succeeding hugely in a format hugely influenced by TheWho. & I think intends to be transparent about all aspects of that... As for shining examples of humanity - sadly, out believed Art & Culture of Rawk may not be the most fertile incubator... Myself - TheWho crashed into the center of my heart spontaneously. Zep I always liked but never fell in love with the same way. Something less original ...even see Page as an usurper of Beck in the yARdbiRdS. But - play them. I'll probly enjoy it...
	🛒 2:10pm egould: ↳ Song: "Marquee Moon (1974-12 Brian Eno/Richard Williams ... Oh boy! This should be fun.
	🛒 2:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 6 & 1/2 hours of 'Marquee Moon' : www.youtube.com... - Thx to some FMUvianz for linking...
	2:13pm dan: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:10 If you were to stack up the 3 guitarists of The Yardbirds (Clapton, Beck and Page). Page is probably the weaker (by comparison) of the 3.
	🛒 2:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dan @2:13 Page was the big time Session Man. This is actually interesting about Zep - half Session pros & half fresh Young Punks...
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: If you were to stack up three different pancakes people would have a variety of opinions about which pancake looked best on a bunny's head.
	🛒 2:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:10 our beloved Art & Culture of Rawk...
	🛒 2:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - Beck & Page brothers by dif mothers. Beck went Pure Gittar - Page went Bandleader & Producer. & Clapton is Blooz.
	2:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Marquee Moon (1974-12 Brian Eno/Richard Williams ... This is great!
	2:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Growin' Up (Pinups outtake)" by "David Bowie" Early Springsteen cover!
	🛒 2:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @2:17 Fabulous. Would be a different fabulous in any iteration...
	2:18pm dan: ↳ Song: "Growin' Up (Pinups outtake)" by "David Bowie" One of the only times that Springsteen sounds good.
	🛒 2:19pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Growin' Up (Pinups outtake)" by "David Bowie" ⭐️🥰❤️🔊🔊
	2:19pm StringOFperils: Page is a very able and adaptable guitar player. He's not on every second record in London in the 60s for nothing. I do think that he practised less than the other two Yardbirds guitarists when he was with Led Zeppelin. Between big American tours and intense bursts of create writing and playing in the studio. And sex. And drugs. And magick. And more drugs.
	2:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Growin' Up (Pinups outtake)" by "David Bowie" Manages to sound Springsteen-ish and Bowie-ish at the same time.
	2:19pm burke: If Bowie had only been a talent booker he would still have been legendary
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: burke!
	2:20pm Hunterian: ↳ Song: "Growin' Up (Pinups outtake)" by "David Bowie" This is freaking amazing, never heard it!
	2:22pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @2:19 There are times that Page played guitar where he seemed spaced out. I've heard at least 3 versions of "Stairway To Heaven" where he botched the solo; 1983 ARMS concert, Live Aid and the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary show.
	2:22pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:10 I'm not saying he's not significant. And I don't know as much about the Who's music and their historical significance but I think Led Zeppelin's creativity and quality of music, and originality, were all really strong and of high quality. The song's I've heard, on the radio, by the Who, are not as great, to me, and have not carried that much weight over time. I think Jimmy Page's work speaks for itself. And if Townesend is criticizing them morally, he should look in the mirror.
	2:24pm StringOFperils: Led Zeppelin was a hot mess after a while.
	🛒 2:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:22 You said about Pete - 'nor do I think, personally, that he is up there as one of greats in terms of musicmakesrs'. As a matter of taste - that is fine. As far as the consensus of the Culture of Rawk - I posit this is simply false. & TheWho have had massive success in the Charts - before & during Zep's existence - & if you're unfamiliar with TheWho's body of work beyond Commercial Radio (is what you imply) - then I posit this is no measure of their relevance (& would be true also os Zep ...tho I myself am aware enuff of their entire oeuvre as well...) TheWho were very broadly exalted as contender for Best Live Band ever - & so on. As for Townshend critiquing Zep on moral grounds ...I'm not familiar with this.
	2:31pm dan: When the Bee Gees flirted with Prog Rock and Adult Contemporary in one go.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: I think Pete just chafes at the comparisons. He wasn't a fan and there's no reason why he has to be. I love them both. No one else has to love either of them.
	2:35pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:29 I did say that. What I mean is I'm sure he is significant but I don't think he is as talented as Jimmy Page. And I don't think the Who is as talented as Led Zeppelin. I'm not saying they didn't make geeat music. To me they are at different levels of greatness. That's just my opinion based on what I have heard.
	2:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Highway 61 Revisited (outtake)" by "X" Great Dylan cover! Nicely changed!
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:35 Works for me!
	2:36pm sinner: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:29 Fight! Fight!
	🛒 2:36pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "San Francisco Day (Hitch a Ride) (demo)" by "Boston" About two weeks ago, this guy came into the record store. He said he was a DJ at a bar downtown. A young guy who works at the shop comes over to us holding the first album by Boston super exited. DJ guy puts him down for even holding he record. I felt so embarrassed and sorry I asked him to try out for a spot the decks. Me and my big mouth.
	2:37pm StringOFperils: Spirited subjectivity!
	2:37pm wenzo: I was curious where highway 61 actually is… you probably knew this already but apparently it runs near the Mississippi from southern Minnesota to New Orleans
	2:38pm wenzo: But when he wrote it it extended up to Duluth
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Franco Twinkie @2:36 "A young guy who works at the shop comes over to us holding the first album by Boston super exited." Good for him!
	2:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Orange Juice Blues (Blues For Breakfast) (outtake... Doesn't sound likek a Band vocalist...
	2:40pm burke: ↳ Song: "Orange Juice Blues (Blues For Breakfast) (outtake... Richard Manuel...the BEST band vocalist
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: ↳ doctorjazz @2:39 I think it's Richard. Maybe not.
	2:41pm StringOFperils: Richard Manuel. Arguably the heart and soul of the Band. The angel of rock and roll.
	2:41pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:40 It's definitely Richard Manuel. Can recognize his voice anywhere.
	2:41pm Gerry from Miami: X, what a band! Doe, Bonebrake, Cervenka and Zoom(occasionally Alvin). I'll follow them anywhere!
	🛒 2:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:38 That's what I thought, He's twenty three and has an amazing grasp of what makes a record good. The other guy was Hollywood bar trash as far as I'm concerned.
	2:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Orange Juice Blues (Blues For Breakfast) (outtake... Only sounds familiar to me when he's in falsetto.
	2:42pm northguineahills: got here for the end!
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: ngh!
	2:43pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Surrender (outtake)" by "Tom Petty & The Heartbre... ⭐️
	🛒 2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:35 You could make the case Townshend is not as versatile a Gittarist as Page. I would posit Townshend had more impact on Gittar generally by far - including Page - by pioneering larger amplifiers & the arsenal of Hard Rawk itself. As for Talent broadly - Pete is more of a Composer, MultiInstrumentalist & Conceptulist - by incomparable measures. Plant wrote some good lines... Moon, Entwistle & Daltrey likewise were all pioneers in their position for Hard Rawk - & are broadly recognized as especially Great, Innovative - even incomparable Musicians (esp. Moon & Entwistle revolutionizing what their Instruments even mean in Rawk). John Paul Jones like Page was a great Session player. He has Arranging abilities & things... Plant a remarkable Vocalists - especially early when his chords were young... Bonham is very widely regarded as Great indeed - with Power, Funk & Tone all in his corner. Not especially innovative or versatile to my reckoning... Page did have his own style - but - like Zep generally - is widely regarded as a magpie - even a thief - as far as emulating other Players (Bert Jansch, whomever)...
	🛒 2:43pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Surrender (outtake)" by "Tom Petty & The Heartbre... ⭐️🥰❤️❤️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🔊🔊🔊🔥
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Franco Twinkie @2:41 I totally get why some people can't get behind Boston and the polish..but it was a unique thing and when it emerged...if you were 16 and in middle America, well...
	2:44pm dan: ↳ Song: "Orange Juice Blues (Blues For Breakfast) (outtake... I always say that if a group has a multi-instrumentalist like Garth Hudson, you've got a great musical ensemble.
	2:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Surrender (outtake)" by "Tom Petty & The Heartbre... gotta show this to wfmuer alexis (she did a poetry book on her relationship w/ her mother about her demise w/ dementia, looselt based on tom petty songs (i used to live two blocks from tom petty park in gainesville, fl, as he was a native).
	2:45pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:43 All I'm gonna say is that rock critics write a lot of garbage
	2:45pm dan: ↳ Song: "Surrender (outtake)" by "Tom Petty & The Heartbre... This song sounds like it could have been on Rumours.
	2:46pm StringOFperils: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:45 Now that is a definitive statement I can get behind.
	🛒 2:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:45 Another topic entirely. Also - Zep Rawked. Sure. Just watch 'How The West Was Won' ...I don't love them like TheWho. For several reasons. & many agree.
	2:47pm ken krimstein: Under the heading of what happened to? Sweet?
	2:48pm burke: Get well soon
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: ↳ ken krimstein @2:47 His blood is still warm.
	🛒 2:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'd take Sabbath before Zep for days ...but - they worshipped Zep themselves. So - there you go...
	2:51pm StringOFperils: The Who, The Kinks, The Beatles were the big three that blew up British music, while the Stones and Led Zeppelin remained in the blues idiom, Jimi already there, anything Eric:blues. So there's a disparity in the imputed greater-ness of either band. Depending on which digression was taken, these band did radically different things from each other, better, because they were each in different idioms...going in different directions, aspiring to be great in some other ways(s)
	🛒 2:52pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "New Speedway Boogie (demo With Acoustic Guitar, D... Ah yes! Rough around the edges, but oh man!
	2:53pm StringOFperils: That being said, the efflorescence of new talent in the 1960s was mind boggling. There were all these band s that sere ALL great, and not like each other
	2:53pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "New Speedway Boogie (demo With Acoustic Guitar, D... 👍
	2:53pm Marie in Chicago: https://www.flavorwire.com/345689/15-hilariously-negative-early-reviews-of-classic-albums
	🛒 2:54pm Brian in UK: Without the Beatles.............where would we be. Not a big fan of rawk as it seems to be called but the Who live are imperious.
	🛒 2:54pm egould: Thanks Uncle Michael. That was a very fun show. Thanks fellow listeners. You were very entertaining. Keeps those hamstrings stretched, and have a good weekend!
	2:55pm spodiodi: thanks, UM! loved the demos the bus beckons
	2:55pm TDK60: ↳ StringOFperils @2:51 I suppose I think the Yardbirds blew up a lot.
	🛒 2:55pm DjLorraine: Refreshing as always Uncle Michael, Thank you
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone. We'll do this again one day.
	2:55pm doctorjazz: That was great, thanks UM!
	2:56pm northguineahills: banks, UM!
	🛒 2:56pm Brian in UK: ↳ TDK60 @2:55 Trying to get them in the coop at night was impossible.
	🛒 2:56pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Michael.
	🛒 2:56pm bradford: Thanks Uncle Michael!
	🛒 2:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well yeah. Zep was big, dumb & sexy in the 1970s good time way a lot of people love. Good for them. To be fair - Zep had more International Music influences & Folk nuance than they get cred for... & with Sabbath are the direct templates for Metal, undeniably. TheWho relate to PowerPop (which insignificant Townshend named) - PUNK - & Alternative in other ways - & in their relation to Culture & the Audience. While also pioneering RawkOpera & Rawk as Theatre... & Synths ...& yes is relevant as Writer in how Rawk relates to Spirituality & Politically - in ways Zep never even attempted. A similar as they are otherwise...
	🛒 2:57pm Michael C St Lou: John Bonham
	2:57pm burke: Really cool show. Thanks. An argument for not "working out the kinks"
	2:57pm TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @2:56 BiUK: Hee!
	2:57pm TDK60: Gracias, DJ UM of the Demos.
	2:57pm Gerry from Miami: RIP to Donald Fagen's wife, LIBBY TITUS's, recent passing. "Love Has No Pride," her claim to fame.
	2:58pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, UM!
	2:58pm Marie in Chicago: Fantastic. Great show--thanks, UM!
	2:58pm wenzo: Thanks UM 🙏
	2:58pm dan: Great show UM
	2:59pm StringOFperils: ↳ TDK60 @2:55 Ah yes, of course, but that was later i the decade, not much by today's standards, but a couple of years in the mid-60s seemed like 15. The Yardbirds embodied that rip in the fabric of everything...the blues burned away, and the green faerie magic welled up. And set off a second British wave, of psychedelia that time
	2:59pm Artie: Really fun show!
	🛒 2:59pm Michael C St Lou: Thank you UM, great show
	2:59pm StringOFperils: Thanks UM
	2:59pm Gerry from Miami: Gonna relisten to this show and the previous one from March 3, 2023 later today. THANKS!
	🛒 3:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...even the yARdbiRdS & SmallFaces before Zep...

View Uncle Michael's profile

Turning over the toy box and jamming together the gloriously mismatched musical Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys from Tin Pan Alley pluggers, pickled egg tavern weepers, lockstep soul ensembles, skinny-tie power poppers, Eurotrash ravers, moontanned art school rockers, drunken soccer anthems and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time. There are no guilty pleasures.

	12:09pm chresti: Andrew in TOkins!
	🛒 12:09pm Brian in UK: ↳ Song: "Hey Joe (outtake)" by "The Byrds" Uncle. Is there a group that has not recorded or played live Hey Joe.
	12:10pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Hey Joe (outtake)" by "The Byrds" This sounds like it has more bass in it than the final version. Pretty groovy. Too frantic?
	12:10pm Uncle Michael: BiUK!
	12:11pm StringOFperils: Good afternoon/morning, as the case may be
	🛒 12:11pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Hey Joe (outtake)" by "The Byrds" Produced by David Hassinger at RCA. Not used because Columbia Records in 1966 were bound by stupid union rules.
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: Does Croz really get credit for Hey Joe as a rock and roll staple? Who knows...
	12:11pm Uncle Michael: SOp!
	🛒 12:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: How often do you prefer Demos ? ...Makes you wonder about this whole business of Production...

	🛒 12:12pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Song: "Didn't Want To Have To Do It (demo)" by "The Lovi... We could use a revival of the Spoonful’s model of manhood.
	12:13pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:12 Prefer? Hard to say. I enjoy having the curtain pulled back on process, so it's endlessly fascinating to me.
	12:14pm TDK60: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:11 Ah, thanks Franco. Mike Clarke back on drums was wild in this demo. At the end maybe it lost control a bit? I like it though. Showed they could get rowdy, a bit.
	12:14pm James Douglas: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:12 Beau Brummels - case in point
	🛒 12:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:13 Right. Given the privilege of having the final Polished version as they wish...
	12:15pm chresti: KXLU had a show called Demolisten on Fridays with demos that were sent to the station
	12:15pm dan: Hope you got some early Elton John demos queued up for later in the show.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: ↳ chresti @12:15 listeners own demos?
	12:16pm duke: This is a demo comment. Enjoying the show.
	12:16pm Uncle Michael: duke!
	🛒 12:16pm Brian in UK: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:11 I think not.
	12:17pm chresti: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:16 Yes. And local bands.
	12:17pm Uncle Michael: ↳ chresti @12:17 very cool
	🛒 12:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ TDK60 @12:14 Everything Hassinger produced at these sessions were better than than the retakes at Columbia across the street. Studio A at RCA had incredible room tone.
	12:18pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Daydream (demo)" by "The Lovin' Spoonful" To my foggy memory this ain't so different from the final. A fine album too--Daydream.
	🛒 12:18pm (Mr) Bill: Uncle Michael rules the streamwaves as the supreme Demo-crat.
	12:19pm Webhamster Henry: I like how clean demos are before they get overproduced.
	12:19pm Roberto: ↳ (Mr) Bill @12:18 I hereby pledge my allegiance to UM the SD.
	12:19pm dan: ↳ Song: "Niki Hoeky (demo)" by "Bobbie Gentry" Best known version was by American Invasion artist PJ Proby
	12:19pm Uncle Michael: Roberto!
	12:20pm Roberto: ↳ Uncle Michael @12:19 UM the SD!
	12:20pm TDK60: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:17 Huh- F.T. You musta read up. Could there be a reconstructed alt Hassinger "5D" album extant?
	12:20pm chresti: spinitron.com... Guess it's still on..
	12:22pm doctorjazz: Hey, UM, Hinks and Dinks. Listening while trying to set up my 1st NAS (and trying not to throw it out the window).
	🛒 12:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love the audition tape of Laura Nyro - she's a teen or something still - tries to accommodate with some R&B Cover to satisfy them... BobBrainen spotlighted that.
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Doc!
	🛒 12:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Don't Worry Baby (outtake with alternate lead voc... Bringing It.
	12:23pm Gerry from Miami: Howdy, UNCLE MICHAEL! Hope you're enjoying this lovely FRIDAY the 13th. Diggin' the program a bunch so far! Two questions. One, could you please post the date or even the link to your first all-demo show so we listeners who missed it can access it in the Archives. Two, are you on next Friday, December 20, and if so, are you planning a "holiday" show? Thanks!
	12:23pm unpopularfred: s'up hinks 'n' dinks
	12:23pm Uncle Michael: Gerry! fred!
	12:24pm dan: ↳ Song: "Don't Worry Baby (outtake with alternate lead voc... Beach Boys need to do one last farewell tour with Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, David Marks, Blondie Chaplin and Ricky Fataar.
	🛒 12:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Don't Worry Baby (outtake with alternate lead voc... Jeezus. Imagine actually being in some small room they all Sing like that.
	12:24pm chresti: also other demos like from Black Sabbath, it looks like
	12:25pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Gerry from Miami @12:23 March 3, 2023
	🛒 12:25pm (Mr) Bill: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:22 Oh, yes! Glorious.
	🛒 12:26pm Brian in UK: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:17 Franco, am I right in thinking that the Rolling Stones recorded there in the mid Sixties with no Colombia type hang up attached.
	12:27pm rw: Good morning!
	12:28pm rw: UM, you shouldn’t have said anything. Now all I hear is the high end. Not saying it’s bad, just that it’s all I’m hearing.
	🛒 12:28pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ TDK60 @12:20 Who knows. But this I DO know - Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones, The Jefferson Airplane Takes Off, Da Capo by Love, and the first album by The Grateful Dead where recorded by David Hassinger at RCA. I'm no expert on anything, but I know what rocks my soul.
	12:28pm Marie in Chicago: UM's allowed to make the rules. Hello UM, and All! Busy at work here now or would chat more. I love demos!
	🛒 12:30pm Brian in UK: Are we getting the Troggs musical 'discussion' recording?
	12:30pm TDK60: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:28 Franco- Interesting, hombre. Hassinger/RCA had better room sound. All those albums you mentioned are perky. That first cut by J.A. Strong.
	🛒 12:30pm (Mr) Bill: UM, how ‘bout a Hanukkah show two weeks from today? If there isn’t enough Hanukkah-themed music, you can fill out the show with a birthday tribute to me. Just kidding—I’m a kidder.
	🛒 12:33pm Brian in UK: Uncle, yes compelling, like a window into the potential of a song.
	12:33pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "When I Paint My Masterpiece (demo)" by "Bob Dylan" Nice!
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: rw! Marie!
	🛒 12:34pm Franco Twinkie: Okay, I was going to pay bills in the kitchen, but fuck that shit. I'm going to hang out in the living room and listen to demos!
	12:34pm dan: Is that Dylan playing the piano?
	12:34pm Uncle Michael: ↳ dan @12:34 yes
	12:35pm Marie in Chicago: I love that line "some day everything is gonna sound like a rhapsody..."
	12:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "When I Paint My Masterpiece (demo)" by "Bob Dylan" The chords and layout are different than the released version.
	12:36pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "When I Paint My Masterpiece (demo)" by "Bob Dylan" His voice here sounds like this could've been on "New Morning."
	🛒 12:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: To the point - Demos are more 'Punk'. What Kerouac said about First Thot Best Thot - transferred to this Music & Songwriting thing. That is - obvsly it's more spontaneous - which means more expressive, fresh - honest... & frankly less Commercial, pandering - &tc. ... The rough Edges are what we are in it for, matter of fact... Otoh - the final Production is the complete fleshed-out thing the Artist signs off on for General Release ...& our consumption. Demos are generally Recorded crudely with lowfi...
	🛒 12:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...broadly comparable to small Sketches - & finished Paintings, is how I think of it a lot...
	12:38pm TDK60: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:34 Franco: One could pay the friggin' bills while sitting in the living room listening to demos. And chew gum. But you're not that One.
	12:39pm unpopularfred: ↳ Song: "Life Is White (demo)" by "Big Star" forgive me for not being able to tell - Is this Chris or Alex?
	12:40pm Uncle Michael: It's Alex.
	12:41pm StringOFperils: Pretty nice demo.
	12:41pm rw: When thinking about whether demos or alternate takes are better, I like to turn it around and think what it would have been like if we’d heard the demo for years then had the discovery of hearing the final product. Again, not making a judgement call, just something to consider.
	12:42pm rw: How’s that for non-committal? It’s one of my specialties.
	12:42pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Talent Show (demo)" by "The Replacements" This reminds me a lot of "Etch-a-Sketch".
	12:42pm nachurall: love that Alex Chilton cut
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: nachurall! Robert!
	12:43pm wenzo: Waddupdoe
	12:43pm Uncle Michael: waddup-zo?
	🛒 12:44pm dutchtheo: Uncle! Only hits!
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: I love Bob's Fozzy-Skyline voice.
	12:44pm Uncle Michael: Theo!
	12:45pm Pedro in Arlington: Two songs by Timothee Chalamet. Nice.
	12:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Ring of Fire (outtake)" by "Bob Dylan" There's so much Dylan out there now!
	🛒 12:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ rw @12:41 Well it's gonna Depend a lot. I think TheBeatles & GeorgeMartin for example were a total Team as Creators. I love hearing every bit of how they got to the final Product. But they got the Creative balance very right down the line... Which I guess is to say that it all puts the interrogation lamp on what this thing is with Production overall...
	🛒 12:46pm egould: ↳ Song: "Ring of Fire (outtake)" by "Bob Dylan" Nice New Orleans shuffle. I like it. Hi Uncle Michael. Hi listening listeners.
	12:46pm Uncle Michael: egould!
	🛒 12:47pm WR: Hello Uncle Michael and streaming folks.
	12:47pm Uncle Michael: WR!
	🛒 12:48pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ TDK60 @12:38 My rule of thumb is this: Only pay bills with potential consequences in the near future. Today - moving violations. I can do that AFTER the show
	12:48pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @12:38 Neither am I One. and don't chew gum any more.
	🛒 12:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:45 ...tho - say - Martin himself regretted not getting the intimacy of Lennon's first presentation of 'Strawberry Fields' to him as he sat on a chair & strummed. While @ the same time that releases's Production is about the Best Thing Ever I'd posit... For a rather notable case we have record of the stages of...
	12:49pm rw: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @12:45 Ha! RR, I’m glad you responded. I was just going to say I totally agree with your previous post. And I was thinking about a parallel with Rudy Van Gelder as your George Martin example.
	🛒 12:50pm egould: ↳ Franco Twinkie @12:34 Listening to demos with friends > paying bills.
	12:52pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "20th Century Boy (outtake)" by "The Replacements" sounds great
	🛒 12:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ rw @12:49 Van Gelder an example of Producing with a light enuff touch - & being a superb Engineer & Recordist - with yet an emphasis on Simplicity or even Minimalism there. Jazz in that idiom being a specific thing about Playing of course. Pop was always about novel Sounds & the Electronics...
	🛒 12:53pm WR: Greatly enjoying what I'm hearing today. Hearing you comment regarding what you like about demo's made me think a bit about why I am enjoying these so much. One thing is that many of them sound like how I have most enjoyed music, listening in person in rehearsal as a musician or friend of the band. Better sound than most any live venue. More comfortable than most any live venue. Hearing the music the people are making not what the team thought a finished product for radio or commerce should sound like at any particular time and place.
	🛒 12:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ egould @12:50 Ha! No contest.
	12:54pm Listener Robert: ↳ Song: "Talent Show (demo)" by "The Replacements" If you're wondering what I was referring to as "Etch A Sketch", it turns out to be a common mishearing of "catch as catch can" from Van Halen's "Little Guitars". I'd've probbly never learned the actual lyric had I not tried to look it up now.
	🛒 12:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ WR @12:53 Right.
	12:55pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "All Down The Line (demo)" by "The Rolling Stones" Wow, three years before it made it to official release.
	🛒 12:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Roberto @12:55 Notable.
	12:55pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Roberto @12:55 They took stabs at this one a few times before Exile.
	🛒 12:57pm egould: ↳ Song: "All Down The Line (demo)" by "The Rolling Stones" This is great. Just five guys sitting in a circle working out a song.
	🛒 12:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Maybe 'Exile' is like 'Kind of Blue' ...the Year doesn't matter ? Then again - they are very much 1972 & 1959...
	🛒 1:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...there's Townshend's 'Scoops'. Some have even termed TheWho a PeteTownshend Coverband :D ...
	1:01pm Gerry from Miami: Getting back to that "Don't Worry, Baby" outtake by the Beach Boys, is that BRIAN or CARL? I sometimes have a tough time distinguishing one from the other. Wasn't Brian more capable of singing the high falsettos, even though, in my opinion, CARL.was the superior singer overall.
	1:02pm TDK60: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:01 Hola Revrabbit: I haven't listened to that in a while.
	🛒 1:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...'Exile' celebrated as more about a sustained Atmosphere than refined Songs in the first place ...if spawning over a Double...
	1:03pm dan: Is anyone familiar with the pre-Let It Be Beatles bootleg known as Kum Back? It was sold in a plain white case with the title stamped on. It's a rare collector's item.
	🛒 1:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:03 ...spraw*ling ...whatever they got up to in France...
	1:06pm Hunterian: Digging the delightful demos
	🛒 1:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dan @1:03 Well the whole Jan. 1969 Get Back sessions - our one & only chance for hours of material - the entire process - of TheBeatles putting an Album together in the Studio in realtime... 60 hours of film, & even more Tape... Including McCartney pulling Hits out his backside like breathing...
	1:07pm Starkville Bill: l been enjoying all of this program
	1:07pm Uncle Michael: Hunterian! Bill!
	🛒 1:08pm WR: ↳ Song: "Hey Joe (outtake)" by "The Byrds" Relative to your comment about being a tryout for a song, recent rabbit hole journey I had for Hey Joe I saw a comment from Crosby that if he has let one of the other guys (i forget who) take the vocal that the Byrds version would have more likely made the album and the song got to the public before others recordings did.
	1:08pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day (acoustic demo)" by "Lou Reed" WOW!!!
	1:09pm spodiodi: greetings, UM and all!
	1:09pm dan: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day (acoustic demo)" by "Lou Reed" One of the only times Lou Reed sounds happy when he sings.
	1:09pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day (acoustic demo)" by "Lou Reed" Intonation so so, but it's Lou...
	1:09pm Uncle Michael: spodi!
	🛒 1:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ WR @1:08 In fact the Hendrix version notable for slowing it back down - if Heavy...
	🛒 1:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day (acoustic demo)" by "Lou Reed" Producer would be one DavidBowie... Whole disc of Demos pretty much the VU box...
	🛒 1:12pm egould: ↳ Song: "Perfect Day (acoustic demo)" by "Lou Reed" I need to listen to this version alot. Alot alot.
	🛒 1:12pm WR: ↳ Song: "Songbird (demo)" by "Fleetwood Mac" Christine Perfect!
	1:12pm dan: ↳ Song: "Songbird (demo)" by "Fleetwood Mac" I never understood the hype for Stevie Nicks. Christine McVie was the heart and soul of Fleetwood Mac and her songs are superior to Nicks' any day.
	1:12pm Uncle Michael: "...singing like they knew the score..." layers of meaning.
	1:13pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Songbird (demo)" by "Fleetwood Mac" Christine was Perfect.
	1:13pm dan: ↳ Roberto @1:13 In more ways than one.
	1:13pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Songbird (demo)" by "Fleetwood Mac" Her voice is unique and special
	1:13pm ken krimstein: This one gives me chills… songbird
	🛒 1:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Songbird (demo)" by "Fleetwood Mac" Nyro fan you reckon ?
	1:14pm Uncle Michael: Ken!
	1:14pm johnk77: just like the broadway drama stereophonic songbird sets the controls for the heart of the music biz sausalito 1977
	1:15pm ken krimstein: Hi Unc…
	1:15pm dan: Fleetwood Mac should have dumped Nicks instead of Buckingham and brought back Bekka Bramlett. Watch the 1994 concert entitled "Another Link In The Chain", Bekka sings circles around Stevie and was a great fit to the group.
	1:15pm Uncle Michael: john!
	1:15pm ken krimstein: Watching Get Smart on TV
	1:16pm johnk77: sound check @5:02
	🛒 1:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Danny Says (demo)" by "Ramones" ...& - Punk itself. Play Rawk - & just Record it.
	1:17pm johnk77: 100b a room at the tropicana west hollywood, california
	🛒 1:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:16 ...I mean - it's what Brooce shoulda done.
	1:18pm ken krimstein: Anyone remember the TV ad that actually ran on Telly for this album??!! Unbelievable. I think it ran on SNL. Ha!!!
	1:19pm ken krimstein: Get Happy
	1:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Riot Act (demo)" by "Elvis Costello & The Attract... Boy, does this sound different- more edgy (and it's an edgy song in the released version).
	1:21pm Gerry from Miami: @ken krimstein. What was so unbelievable about that "Get Happy" ad?
	1:22pm ken krimstein: That they ran a TV ad for an album…and it was fun and retro.
	1:22pm dan: ↳ Song: "Country Comfort (demo)" by "Elton John" Tumbleweed Connection is the most underrated Elton album of the early era. It's so different from everything else he's done before or since.
	1:23pm Gerry from Miami: Poor Elton can't see any more. But, thankfully, he did complete that Final World Tour---took 3 years!
	1:24pm dan: ↳ Gerry from Miami @1:23 I got to see Elton in 2011 at MSG and it was worth every penny. An absolute legend.
	1:25pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Whole Lotta Woman (outtake)" by "Faces" I was just reading an article about Rod's model railway. He's got quite the setup!
	1:25pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Song: "Whole Lotta Woman (outtake)" by "Faces" I suspect alcohol.
	🛒 1:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Whole Lotta Woman (outtake)" by "Faces" ...it's just possible TheFaces had a good time...

	1:30pm dan: ↳ Song: "Telstar (demo)" by "Dave Adams & The Outlaws" Air Supply is probably the only group I know where the two members are genuinely friends as well as bandmates. I thought Hall and Oates were the same, but recent news showed otherwise.
	1:30pm johnk77: ian mclagan's book all the rage is off the charts great and also covers dylan and many others
	1:30pm Mhinca: ↳ dan @1:12 Dan, amen to that!
	1:31pm Roberto: The ShitFaces.

	1:31pm StringOFperils: Get Happy is my favourite Attractions album. Just a certain balance and speed-fed productivity.
	1:34pm johnk77: ↳ dan @1:31 only met mac mclagan once when he was in bonnie raitt's road band
	1:34pm spodiodi: 1972... never realized Perfect day was so old and yay for the DEVO

	🛒 1:35pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "Riot Act (demo)" by "Elvis Costello & The Attract... I saw Elvis Costello at Hollywood High School in 1978. it was one of THOSE concerts. As memorable as the show was, the scene at Tommy's on Ramparts after the show was equally berserk.
	1:36pm Uncle Michael: DJL! Mhinca!
	1:36pm doctorjazz: I've see Elvis Costello a few times, always a great show!
	1:36pm johnk77: the attraction's pete thomas 1 of the best live drummers
	1:36pm dan: ↳ johnk77 @1:34 I mentioned Ricky Fataar before, was he already in Raitt's band at that time?
	1:36pm Marie in Chicago: I heard that John Lennon didn't like his own singing voice. I love it.
	🛒 1:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Attractions - great band.
	🛒 1:37pm egould: ↳ Franco Twinkie @1:35 I miss Tommy's at 3rd and Rampart.
	1:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Strawberry Fields (demo)" by "John Lennon" I always thought the harmonies were changed to match the orchestration-pretty much all there on this acoustic guitar version!
	1:37pm ken krimstein: Clapton? Ringo?
	1:38pm StringOFperils: Strawberry Fields was all worked out in that demo. The final song isn't much different all...mellotron notwithstanding [sorry had to put those two words together at any cost]
	🛒 1:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:36 Tended to want it treated with effects. Yet he surely knew the value of it - saying for instance he shoulda sung this or that instead of Paul... Lennon's Voice one of my Favorite Instruments Ever - without qualifications.
	1:38pm dan: ↳ Song: "What Is Life (acetate demo)" by "George Harrison" What is Life was pretty much George Harrison, Derek and the Dominoes and Badfinger performing together.
	1:38pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "What Is Life (acetate demo)" by "George Harrison" Neat!
	🛒 1:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "What Is Life (acetate demo)" by "George Harrison" ..& Spector (over)Producing...
	1:39pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "What Is Life (acetate demo)" by "George Harrison" A lot more piani in this take.
	1:41pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Let 'Em in (demo)" by "Wings" I love this song
	1:41pm ken krimstein: Sweet. The Beatle demos were always amazing. I wonder if that was Martin? Every one is valuable. Irreplaceable.
	1:41pm spodiodi: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:41 me too
	🛒 1:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Let 'Em in (demo)" by "Wings" Paul with very definite ideas - even technically specific ones - about Arrangement & Productions...
	1:42pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:38 mm, mm hm. I think he had his moments of self-doubt
	1:42pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Let 'Em in (demo)" by "Wings" Did he just shout out UM?
	1:43pm ken krimstein: Even the demos on White Album — McCartney goes way way out there
	1:43pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Roberto @1:42 I was going to say!
	1:43pm StringOFperils: Paul wanted to write the songs that writers of the songs would write
	1:43pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @1:42 Oh, it was Brother Michael.
	1:43pm johnk77: ↳ dan @1:36 i only remember meeting mac at that time it was the early 1980s and they are on green light so probably both were in the road band the venue was possibly hollywood palladium very hard partying band & crew!;>
	1:43pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @1:43 Of course, he wouldn't be someone's uncle if he weren't someone's brother.
	1:43pm rw: ↳ Webhamster Henry @1:43 Ha! Me too. And it WAS Uncle.
	1:44pm StringOFperils: ↳ StringOFperils @1:43 ...for famous 1920 dance orchestras
	1:44pm unpopularfred: ↳ Roberto @1:43 the first time around it was uncle, I'm sure
	🛒 1:45pm Brian in UK: ↳ johnk77 @1:36 Ever seen/heard anyone hit the drums harder than Mr T.
	1:45pm rw: Speaking of Uncle Michael… Thank you UM. This is fun. Glad I have to be sitting at the computer this morning.
	1:45pm Hunterian: ↳ unpopularfred @1:44 I think so as well, definitely heard "Uncle Michael"
	1:46pm ken krimstein: Unc, you be killin’ today…the drums on this are fucking insane…cinnamon…
	1:46pm ken krimstein: Got any sly demos in your magic carpet bag?
	1:46pm johnk77: ↳ Brian in UK @1:45 yes i have seen metal drummers hit harder but not as effectively
	1:47pm Uncle Michael: ↳ ken krimstein @1:46 Not today...maybe next time!
	1:47pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Cinnamon Girl (outtake, Danny Whitten vocal)" by ... heaven!
	1:47pm ken krimstein: Best guitar solo ever
	1:48pm Roberto: ↳ ken krimstein @1:47 As voted by Ken and Andy!
	1:48pm StringOFperils: Learning how to build rock
	1:48pm ken krimstein: With possible exception of Lennon on she’s so heavy…
	🛒 1:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Marie in Chicago @1:42 Just listened to this for a reminder of how idiosyncratic Lennon was : www.youtube.com...
	1:49pm ken krimstein: …and, of course, anything by joe satriani
	1:49pm ken krimstein: Jk
	1:49pm unpopularfred: no Ringo demos, huh
	1:50pm ken krimstein: hamer
	1:51pm StringOFperils: Cheap Trick L.A.M.F.
	1:51pm ken krimstein: Bun. E.
	🛒 1:51pm egould: ↳ Song: "Stiff Competition (outtake)" by "Cheap Trick" Whatever became of these guys?
	1:51pm Uncle Michael: ↳ ken krimstein @1:50 It's Hamer time.
	🛒 1:51pm MarciB: ↳ egould @1:51 I think they're still playing!
	🛒 1:51pm Brian in UK: ↳ johnk77 @1:46 Yes, I guess that is what I meant.
	🛒 1:51pm DjLorraine: ↳ Song: "Stiff Competition (outtake)" by "Cheap Trick" The 18th of Dec they are playing near by
	1:52pm Uncle Michael: Marci! Yep!
	1:52pm ken krimstein: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:51 Pride of Rockford
	🛒 1:52pm MarciB: I saw CT years ago at Irving Plaza playing songs from their early albums. Great show.
	1:53pm ken krimstein: Hello there ladies and gentlemen
	🛒 1:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Stiff Competition (outtake)" by "Cheap Trick" Just play Rawk & Record it.
	🛒 1:53pm egould: Can you honestly tell me you forgot? Forgot the magnetism of Robin Zander, or the charisma of Rick Nielsen?
	1:54pm dan: ↳ Song: "One Of The Boys (demo)" by "Mott The Hoople" Beginning of this song sounded like "Road To Kingdom Come" by Lindisfarne.
	1:55pm Uncle Michael: ↳ egould @1:53 I can barely remember my fast times.
	🛒 1:55pm egould: ↳ Uncle Michael @1:55 ;-)
	🛒 1:56pm DjLorraine: Pseu played us Southern Girls
	1:56pm StringOFperils: Cheap Trick probably don't remember a lot about Cheap Trick. They've been too busy.
	1:56pm ken krimstein: Wham bam thank you mam-ish…
	🛒 1:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @1:56 Well - always interesting to compare the memories of the actual Beatles to the research of the Historians...
	2:02pm StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @1:57 Too many people preaching practices Don't let them tell you what you wanna be.__Macca
	2:02pm Listener Robert: My understanding is that Carlos still drums with them ceremonially if and when they come to Rockford.
	🛒 2:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Paul does of course have a brother Michael. & had a mother Mary...
	2:04pm Marie in Chicago: I don't think Pete Townsend is some shining example of humanity nor do I think, personally, that he is up there as one of greats in terms of musicmakesrs. I love Led Zeppelin.
	2:05pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:04 just my o-pini-on
	2:05pm johnk77: bun e killed it live w/tinted windows
	2:05pm hopey: Search "Bun E’s Basement Bootlegs" on youtube for more Cheap Trick demos and live recordings. It's quite a treasure trove.
	2:07pm Marie in Chicago: why am I not surprised that so many people want to tear down one of the best rock bands ever
	2:07pm Uncle Michael: ↳ johnk77 @2:05 Damn...I'd have loved to see that band live!
	2:07pm dan: ↳ Song: "Bullitt (demo)" by "Lalo Schifrin" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5_9fYU8jd4&pp=ygUtbGVkIHplcHBlbGluIGlpIGlmIGl0IHdhcyByZWNvcmRlZCBpbiB0aGUgNTBz Speaking of Led Zeppelin, check out this video entitled "What if Led Zeppelin II was Recorded in the 1950s"
	🛒 2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:04 Well - the consensus would be Pete is pretty significant indeed. Just in developing larger amplifiers ...& much much more. But obvsly he's jealous of Zep succeeding hugely in a format hugely influenced by TheWho. & I think intends to be transparent about all aspects of that... As for shining examples of humanity - sadly, out believed Art & Culture of Rawk may not be the most fertile incubator... Myself - TheWho crashed into the center of my heart spontaneously. Zep I always liked but never fell in love with the same way. Something less original ...even see Page as an usurper of Beck in the yARdbiRdS. But - play them. I'll probly enjoy it...
	🛒 2:10pm egould: ↳ Song: "Marquee Moon (1974-12 Brian Eno/Richard Williams ... Oh boy! This should be fun.
	🛒 2:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 6 & 1/2 hours of 'Marquee Moon' : www.youtube.com... - Thx to some FMUvianz for linking...
	2:13pm dan: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:10 If you were to stack up the 3 guitarists of The Yardbirds (Clapton, Beck and Page). Page is probably the weaker (by comparison) of the 3.
	🛒 2:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ dan @2:13 Page was the big time Session Man. This is actually interesting about Zep - half Session pros & half fresh Young Punks...
	2:15pm Uncle Michael: If you were to stack up three different pancakes people would have a variety of opinions about which pancake looked best on a bunny's head.
	🛒 2:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:10 our beloved Art & Culture of Rawk...
	🛒 2:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - Beck & Page brothers by dif mothers. Beck went Pure Gittar - Page went Bandleader & Producer. & Clapton is Blooz.
	2:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Marquee Moon (1974-12 Brian Eno/Richard Williams ... This is great!
	2:17pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Growin' Up (Pinups outtake)" by "David Bowie" Early Springsteen cover!
	🛒 2:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ doctorjazz @2:17 Fabulous. Would be a different fabulous in any iteration...
	2:18pm dan: ↳ Song: "Growin' Up (Pinups outtake)" by "David Bowie" One of the only times that Springsteen sounds good.
	🛒 2:19pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Growin' Up (Pinups outtake)" by "David Bowie" ⭐️🥰❤️🔊🔊
	2:19pm StringOFperils: Page is a very able and adaptable guitar player. He's not on every second record in London in the 60s for nothing. I do think that he practised less than the other two Yardbirds guitarists when he was with Led Zeppelin. Between big American tours and intense bursts of create writing and playing in the studio. And sex. And drugs. And magick. And more drugs.
	2:19pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Growin' Up (Pinups outtake)" by "David Bowie" Manages to sound Springsteen-ish and Bowie-ish at the same time.
	2:19pm burke: If Bowie had only been a talent booker he would still have been legendary
	2:20pm Uncle Michael: burke!
	2:20pm Hunterian: ↳ Song: "Growin' Up (Pinups outtake)" by "David Bowie" This is freaking amazing, never heard it!
	2:22pm dan: ↳ StringOFperils @2:19 There are times that Page played guitar where he seemed spaced out. I've heard at least 3 versions of "Stairway To Heaven" where he botched the solo; 1983 ARMS concert, Live Aid and the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary show.
	2:22pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:10 I'm not saying he's not significant. And I don't know as much about the Who's music and their historical significance but I think Led Zeppelin's creativity and quality of music, and originality, were all really strong and of high quality. The song's I've heard, on the radio, by the Who, are not as great, to me, and have not carried that much weight over time. I think Jimmy Page's work speaks for itself. And if Townesend is criticizing them morally, he should look in the mirror.
	2:24pm StringOFperils: Led Zeppelin was a hot mess after a while.
	🛒 2:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:22 You said about Pete - 'nor do I think, personally, that he is up there as one of greats in terms of musicmakesrs'. As a matter of taste - that is fine. As far as the consensus of the Culture of Rawk - I posit this is simply false. & TheWho have had massive success in the Charts - before & during Zep's existence - & if you're unfamiliar with TheWho's body of work beyond Commercial Radio (is what you imply) - then I posit this is no measure of their relevance (& would be true also os Zep ...tho I myself am aware enuff of their entire oeuvre as well...) TheWho were very broadly exalted as contender for Best Live Band ever - & so on. As for Townshend critiquing Zep on moral grounds ...I'm not familiar with this.
	2:31pm dan: When the Bee Gees flirted with Prog Rock and Adult Contemporary in one go.
	2:32pm Uncle Michael: I think Pete just chafes at the comparisons. He wasn't a fan and there's no reason why he has to be. I love them both. No one else has to love either of them.
	2:35pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:29 I did say that. What I mean is I'm sure he is significant but I don't think he is as talented as Jimmy Page. And I don't think the Who is as talented as Led Zeppelin. I'm not saying they didn't make geeat music. To me they are at different levels of greatness. That's just my opinion based on what I have heard.
	2:35pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Highway 61 Revisited (outtake)" by "X" Great Dylan cover! Nicely changed!
	2:35pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:35 Works for me!
	2:36pm sinner: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:29 Fight! Fight!
	🛒 2:36pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "San Francisco Day (Hitch a Ride) (demo)" by "Boston" About two weeks ago, this guy came into the record store. He said he was a DJ at a bar downtown. A young guy who works at the shop comes over to us holding the first album by Boston super exited. DJ guy puts him down for even holding he record. I felt so embarrassed and sorry I asked him to try out for a spot the decks. Me and my big mouth.
	2:37pm StringOFperils: Spirited subjectivity!
	2:37pm wenzo: I was curious where highway 61 actually is… you probably knew this already but apparently it runs near the Mississippi from southern Minnesota to New Orleans
	2:38pm wenzo: But when he wrote it it extended up to Duluth
	2:38pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Franco Twinkie @2:36 "A young guy who works at the shop comes over to us holding the first album by Boston super exited." Good for him!
	2:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Orange Juice Blues (Blues For Breakfast) (outtake... Doesn't sound likek a Band vocalist...
	2:40pm burke: ↳ Song: "Orange Juice Blues (Blues For Breakfast) (outtake... Richard Manuel...the BEST band vocalist
	2:40pm Uncle Michael: ↳ doctorjazz @2:39 I think it's Richard. Maybe not.
	2:41pm StringOFperils: Richard Manuel. Arguably the heart and soul of the Band. The angel of rock and roll.
	2:41pm dan: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:40 It's definitely Richard Manuel. Can recognize his voice anywhere.
	2:41pm Gerry from Miami: X, what a band! Doe, Bonebrake, Cervenka and Zoom(occasionally Alvin). I'll follow them anywhere!
	🛒 2:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Uncle Michael @2:38 That's what I thought, He's twenty three and has an amazing grasp of what makes a record good. The other guy was Hollywood bar trash as far as I'm concerned.
	2:42pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Orange Juice Blues (Blues For Breakfast) (outtake... Only sounds familiar to me when he's in falsetto.
	2:42pm northguineahills: got here for the end!
	2:43pm Uncle Michael: ngh!
	2:43pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Surrender (outtake)" by "Tom Petty & The Heartbre... ⭐️
	🛒 2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:35 You could make the case Townshend is not as versatile a Gittarist as Page. I would posit Townshend had more impact on Gittar generally by far - including Page - by pioneering larger amplifiers & the arsenal of Hard Rawk itself. As for Talent broadly - Pete is more of a Composer, MultiInstrumentalist & Conceptulist - by incomparable measures. Plant wrote some good lines... Moon, Entwistle & Daltrey likewise were all pioneers in their position for Hard Rawk - & are broadly recognized as especially Great, Innovative - even incomparable Musicians (esp. Moon & Entwistle revolutionizing what their Instruments even mean in Rawk). John Paul Jones like Page was a great Session player. He has Arranging abilities & things... Plant a remarkable Vocalists - especially early when his chords were young... Bonham is very widely regarded as Great indeed - with Power, Funk & Tone all in his corner. Not especially innovative or versatile to my reckoning... Page did have his own style - but - like Zep generally - is widely regarded as a magpie - even a thief - as far as emulating other Players (Bert Jansch, whomever)...
	🛒 2:43pm Michael C St Lou: ↳ Song: "Surrender (outtake)" by "Tom Petty & The Heartbre... ⭐️🥰❤️❤️❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🔊🔊🔊🔥
	2:44pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Franco Twinkie @2:41 I totally get why some people can't get behind Boston and the polish..but it was a unique thing and when it emerged...if you were 16 and in middle America, well...
	2:44pm dan: ↳ Song: "Orange Juice Blues (Blues For Breakfast) (outtake... I always say that if a group has a multi-instrumentalist like Garth Hudson, you've got a great musical ensemble.
	2:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Surrender (outtake)" by "Tom Petty & The Heartbre... gotta show this to wfmuer alexis (she did a poetry book on her relationship w/ her mother about her demise w/ dementia, looselt based on tom petty songs (i used to live two blocks from tom petty park in gainesville, fl, as he was a native).
	2:45pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @2:43 All I'm gonna say is that rock critics write a lot of garbage
	2:45pm dan: ↳ Song: "Surrender (outtake)" by "Tom Petty & The Heartbre... This song sounds like it could have been on Rumours.
	2:46pm StringOFperils: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:45 Now that is a definitive statement I can get behind.
	🛒 2:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Marie in Chicago @2:45 Another topic entirely. Also - Zep Rawked. Sure. Just watch 'How The West Was Won' ...I don't love them like TheWho. For several reasons. & many agree.
	2:47pm ken krimstein: Under the heading of what happened to? Sweet?
	2:48pm burke: Get well soon
	2:48pm Uncle Michael: ↳ ken krimstein @2:47 His blood is still warm.
	🛒 2:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'd take Sabbath before Zep for days ...but - they worshipped Zep themselves. So - there you go...
	2:51pm StringOFperils: The Who, The Kinks, The Beatles were the big three that blew up British music, while the Stones and Led Zeppelin remained in the blues idiom, Jimi already there, anything Eric:blues. So there's a disparity in the imputed greater-ness of either band. Depending on which digression was taken, these band did radically different things from each other, better, because they were each in different idioms...going in different directions, aspiring to be great in some other ways(s)
	🛒 2:52pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "New Speedway Boogie (demo With Acoustic Guitar, D... Ah yes! Rough around the edges, but oh man!
	2:53pm StringOFperils: That being said, the efflorescence of new talent in the 1960s was mind boggling. There were all these band s that sere ALL great, and not like each other

	🛒 2:54pm egould: Thanks Uncle Michael. That was a very fun show. Thanks fellow listeners. You were very entertaining. Keeps those hamstrings stretched, and have a good weekend!
	2:55pm spodiodi: thanks, UM! loved the demos the bus beckons
	2:55pm TDK60: ↳ StringOFperils @2:51 I suppose I think the Yardbirds blew up a lot.
	🛒 2:55pm DjLorraine: Refreshing as always Uncle Michael, Thank you
	2:55pm Uncle Michael: Thanks, everyone. We'll do this again one day.
	2:55pm doctorjazz: That was great, thanks UM!

	🛒 2:56pm Franco Twinkie: Thanks Michael.
	🛒 2:56pm bradford: Thanks Uncle Michael!
	🛒 2:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well yeah. Zep was big, dumb & sexy in the 1970s good time way a lot of people love. Good for them. To be fair - Zep had more International Music influences & Folk nuance than they get cred for... & with Sabbath are the direct templates for Metal, undeniably. TheWho relate to PowerPop (which insignificant Townshend named) - PUNK - & Alternative in other ways - & in their relation to Culture & the Audience. While also pioneering RawkOpera & Rawk as Theatre... & Synths ...& yes is relevant as Writer in how Rawk relates to Spirituality & Politically - in ways Zep never even attempted. A similar as they are otherwise...
	🛒 2:57pm Michael C St Lou: John Bonham
	2:57pm burke: Really cool show. Thanks. An argument for not "working out the kinks"
	2:57pm TDK60: ↳ Brian in UK @2:56 BiUK: Hee!
	2:57pm TDK60: Gracias, DJ UM of the Demos.
	2:57pm Gerry from Miami: RIP to Donald Fagen's wife, LIBBY TITUS's, recent passing. "Love Has No Pride," her claim to fame.
	2:58pm listener james from westwood: Many thanks, UM!
	2:58pm Marie in Chicago: Fantastic. Great show--thanks, UM!
	2:58pm wenzo: Thanks UM 🙏
	2:58pm dan: Great show UM
	2:59pm StringOFperils: ↳ TDK60 @2:55 Ah yes, of course, but that was later i the decade, not much by today's standards, but a couple of years in the mid-60s seemed like 15. The Yardbirds embodied that rip in the fabric of everything...the blues burned away, and the green faerie magic welled up. And set off a second British wave, of psychedelia that time
	2:59pm Artie: Really fun show!
	🛒 2:59pm Michael C St Lou: Thank you UM, great show
	2:59pm StringOFperils: Thanks UM
