Undoubtfully RnR was a unique, unrepeatable season in music history. Great times when they were all alive and kickin'!

    I first saw JJ on a snowy night in January of '77 at a place called PB Scotts in Blowing Rock, NC. Great 3 hour set in support of his Troubadour album. Great show, then we came out to 6 inches of fresh snow. JJ had the smoothest hand on a fret board I ever saw. Effortless. Got to see him 3 more times over the years.
    RIP JJ, and Thank You!

They both filled the old Long Beach Auditorium to the rafters. Now at almost 80 I will be in the front row at Centrum's Acoustic Blues Festival at that Old Blimp Hanger they call McCurdy Pavillion here in Port Townsend. And will be attending 'Blues In The Clubs' ...Do yourself a BIG Favor1 Go see live music everytime you have the opportunity! Your SOUL will thank you.

      I guess that once JJ started collecting song writing royalties he might have thunk to himself that he could just slide on by. He was unknown to most of us for a time. Yet another good reason to read liner notes, when you can get them. That seems to be a thing of the past. Bands used to include the names of instruments and musicians on the recordings and I used to study them. You might be surprised at what you can learn from liner notes. Liner notes is a term from back in the time of vinyl LP records.

The venue was so small that some people actually got up and danced. just unreal. those were really the good old days at least for our generation.

Mark Knopfler is another. These sessions are really classic JJ Cale at just the right time. Nice to see him getting 5 million views. That's a lot of views for a guy who didn't even enjoy promoting his new albums by touring, etc. When you hear him chatting away in between songs, you can tell he's enjoying it all a great deal ♥

    I was there. I ran one of the cameras and also edited the final show as you see it here. We had one of the very first computerized video editing facilities around. I wired up helped design that facility. That was in 1979 in Burbank, CA. Steve Ripley recorded and mixed the sound. There were about 6 or 8 other people involved in this production and none of us received any credit - NONE.Our names are not on the titles. Instead a bunch of other people are listed as director, producers, editors etc and I've never heard of any of them. No one by those names was ever around that studio in the 5 years I worked there from 1977 till 1981 and trust me none of them had anything whatsoever to do with the production of this video. Where's Diane Sullivan's name? Jack Jester? Tom Kemp? Gordon Rudd? I was there. What gives? WTF?

    • @michaeljohnstone6830
      @michaeljohnstone6830 10 лет назад +252

      Which drugged out guys are you referring to? It wasn't the audio/video crew - I can attest to that. It wasn't the musicians. Many musicians don't partake and if they ever did it was way back in the 60s when they were young and was long since put aside. These here musicians are like that. I know them all personally. If you played in their bands and were found to do drugs you were fired immediately. You will find that the better the musicians - the less foolishness is tolerated. It's hard enough to play music this well when sober. Same is true with highly technical jobs like audio/video.The work is too demanding to be accomplished if you are high or drunk. So again - what are you talking about? What I am pissed about is that 30 some years after this show was played,recorded,edited and finished it fell into someone's hands who put their names on it, released it and are making money off it as if they - not we - were responsible for it's existence. It's not about drugs,drug "providers" or whatever you're talking about. It's about money and honesty.

To claim it’s nonsensical to say that J J Cale’s prime was in the 70s is, well, nonsensical. His five classic albums, containing his most famous and enduring songs, are from that era. I’m not dissing any of his other records, the early 80s ones are fine, but there is a drop off in quality later on that only a fool would deny (he claimed himself to have spent most of the 80s “Mowing the lawn and listening to Van Halen and rap”). The analogue 70s suited his style perfectly, the move to digital recording, the use of synths and that overly clean Casio strat he later played sucked some of the soul out his music. Yes, he still made laid back, quality music in his inimitable style, but 74-79 was his peak. Open your ears and listen.
