this band and the Allman Bros. were the 1st dual lead guitar bands....

Ahhhh, Neil Young and Steven Stills in Southern Man, Carlos Santana and Neal Schon on Santana's third album........ guitar duels were happening all over.


I couldn't find a video but this is the audio of Toussaint L'Overture where Santana and Neil Schon go nuts together. I saw them do this at the L.A. Coliseum on my 17th birthday a year before the album came out......... as good as it gets! At 3:30 Santana starts with Schon coming in at 4:19. Santana comes back in at 4:28 then Schon at 4:55. At 5:09 Santana takes over and finishes it off...... very high energy.

Well I couldn't find a version of Southern Man from the seventies but I did find this from nearly the seventies..... September 14,1969 Big Sur....... Down By The River. You've got Young and Stills going at it with Crosby throwing in a little shit here and there while doing all of the strumming. I remember seeing this at the theater and thinking that it just didn't get much cooler than these guys.

I posted several Yes videos the other day; guess I forgot to hit the 'submit' button. My fav Yes song:

Here's a slightly different take on Long Distance Run Around:

X already got Round About.

Love these guys; they take me back.

Just gonna say . . . I HATE disco. I hated it then and I hate it now. I thought SNF was stupid and John Travolta looked gay. Polyester suits and . . . . disco was dancing??? Uh, NO. Nothing I liked about it. I don't associate it with the 70's (for me). The long-haired bands are what I think of for that era. Guess I'm a disco denier!

 

[editec]

one of the BEST sounds of the 70s?

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6gD_CwF5YM[/ame]

Another kick ass 70's tune?

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrBx6mAWYPU[/ame]

One of my all time favorite jazz-o-funkic numbers? Herbie Hancock's "Hang up Your Hangups" of course!

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UjXmbSBTD4[/ame]

Incidetnly, this is NOT a great version of this tune.

The best version is the ALBUM version one find on the Headhunters album...not avilable on youtube, I guess.

I ALSO hated disco ...at first.

But as I started dancing to it I grew to appreciate the best of it.

Or maybe it was just all those drugs I snorted in the bathroom.

Either way, the disco scene was fun IF you danced.

For one thing if you can dance well?

You get more tail than a ladies' bar-room toilet seat.

I refused to do Disco. In fact, living in south Louisiana at the time(Lafayette, not that dump New Orleans), you could find live dance music almost every night.......... Cajun Swing or Two Step. I went to Jay's Lounge and Cock Pit every Friday and Saturday night to dance to a variety of bands from Austin and around Louisiana. Asleep At The Wheel, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Marcia Ball, Clifton Chenier and local bands like Couteau or The Red Beans and Rice Review........ while they played in front, the cock fights were going on in the back...... Brutal stuff. The Oak floors had rice shucks thrown on them and the beats were perfect for Cajun Swing(basically a dirty, nasty Jitterbug)........ that was my specialty, never liked Two Step. I wore out a lot of soles of cowboy shit kickers even thought my hair was down below my shoulders and I consumed a wide variety of drugs...... the shit kickers were the best thing to wear for dancing. I also didn't drive a pickup, I had a custom built Triumph Spitfire and later a Mud Killer CJ5 Jeep, always with the top off...... basically a contradiction of stereotypes.
On Wednesday nights, a bunch of us white kids from USL would frequent a black bar named Laissez Le Bon Ton Roulez(Let The Good Times Roll). The Red Beans And Rice Review would play and they were the best, a lot of original songs and Van Morrison that was adapted to the perfect beat for dancing..... Moon Dance was my favorite. The bar sold us Heinikens for 75 cents until they found out how much white people would pay, they jacked them up to 1.25 on Wednesdays.
Yes, if you could dance, you wouldn't be going home alone, a lot of one nighters......... until the homosexual community brought us HIV and spread it around so quickly, that was the end of that fun.

the Allmans and Wishbone Ashes 1st LP's were in late 69.....Santanas 3rd was in 71.....S.Stills did not play guitar on After The Gold Rush which came out in 1970....a dual lead guitar according to rolling stones rock encyclopedia is 2 distinct guitar solos by 2 guitar players on just about every song.....the Allman Brothers Band and Wishbone Ash are the first bands that started doing this.....and everybody else doing it, came after.....

Time for some southern rock, my favorite Alman bros tune:

The most mind blowing Yes song of all, 'close to the edge.'
