I don't hate all modern music. Just that **** they play on the radio & TV.

Amen -- what a voice! One of the most memorable of the 1960s and early '70s -- but in California Dreaming, she really only sang backing.

Try these for a sample of her out-front versatility:

Michelle is the only one still kicking of the four.

My Internet is capped at the moment, so can't click the links, but, I'm assuming we're talking about musicians.

As such, I'm going to see Dream Theater (again) on Saturday. And, one of my other favourite bands, Pain of Salvation, is opening for them. I can't believe they're finally coming to Australia, and I'm so looking forward to it.

Anyone who likes male vocals, must, and, I mean, must check Daniel Gildenlöw out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1QO1daK688

0:52-1:28 -- my goodness!

How's that for a voice? In all the musical journeys I've taken, in my estimation, no-one comes close to Daniel's voice. One moment, it's sweet and mournful, the next, is a full on power/metal growl. And, everything in between. Such a beautiful natural head voice, too. Four octave range. Unreal.

He's also a brilliant guitarist, and, their music is just so varied. Two of their albums, Remedy Lane, and, The Perfect Element (Part 1), are rated #1 and #2 at progarchives.com -- high praise. Both brilliant concept albums.

Furthermore, watch their rendition of Leonard Cohen's famous piece from a recent concert, here (view right to the end to hear his vocal gamut):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0puyJsSHjs4

Daniel's performed backing vocals and guitaring for Transatlantic, when they toured Europe, and, has also worked on projects with high profile musicians such as Arjen Lucasson (Ayreon, Star One, Ambeon, etc.)

Anyone in Sydney who'd like to see them, get your tickets for Dream Theater, for just $60. They'll be playing at Hordern Pavillion this Saturday evening.

Technically impossible music created by virtuoso musicians. Can't beat it.

Enjoy.

Regards,
Humayun

Thanks Les.
I used to have a video, a biography, of the Mamas and Papas. Made by them.
The time Cass turned up with a pint bottle of acid. My lord. They spent that Summer writing their first album.
Or when Cass accidently got hit in the head with a metal pipe, and all of a sudden she can hit the high notes and they give her more songs to sing.
I'm amazed any of them are still with us.

Michelle Phillips tells this story where they were down to their last $20 touring in South America with no way of getting back to the US so they decided their best chance was to bet the money at the casino and chose Cass to roll the dice. None of them had ever been in a casino before. Cass threw 18 straight winning dice and won them more then enough $$$ to get them all back home safely.

You'd be interested in this group then.
"TAKE THE POKIES OUT OF PUBS AND BRING BACK LIVE BANDS"

You can't go passed a good cover.
Ain't the lead singer a hunk?? Anyone recognise him?
Hint....he's a member of this forum.

I saw The Beach Boys at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne, off there heads on what ever was in their rider. The show was rescued by another great Australian band "Stars" (vale Andy Durant).

Greg.

Reminded me of something else, I saw the Australian production of The Who's "Tommy", Daryl Braithwaite, Colleen Hewitt etc etc and Keith Moon as the wicked uncle. I also remember seeing "The Valentines" and the lead singer was?

for janis joplin fans you might like Beth Hart

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJqksqlSwyo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo-CubhFzZ0

and continuing in the they do make still make them like that

Imelda May is pretty easy on the eye for my money

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf34PBw8Zx4

it was the introduction of widespread RBT's and tough DUI laws in 80's that killed the scene, not pokies, they just filled the empty bars with them

my theory is thats why the dance music scene/ecstacy ect. took off soon after, the kids could have a good time and still drive home without severe penalties.

yep when the Italian american mafia ran the music biz in 60s, they were the best days, then the corporations took over, they wouldnt employ risky people like joplin et al these days, too safe, we wouldnt have hendrix without mafia ect. anyway those people paid a VERY high price to be that creative and original like syd ect. , who would want to do that?
