PATTI SMITH Steals Earth Day Show In Roma! (2011)

SO YOU WANNA BE A ROCK N ROLL STAR? 

WELL HERE SHE IS. 

Last year in Roma, Patti Smith did a short 5-song set for Earth Day. The audio was captured by an audience member in pretty decent mics and as you will hear, Patti killed it! Like this audience was all hers. Towards the end of the set she even invites an audience member up on stage to sing with her. Some chatty people in the background here and there but overall a great listen.

The Unique Partnership Of JOE STRUMMER & MICK JONES

IT REALLY DOESN'T GET MUCH COOLER THAN THIS

FACIAL EXPRESSIONS IN HYDE PARK 1982

THIS PICTURE MAKES ME WANT TO CRY 

When the great songwriting partnerships of rock n roll are discussed you usually hear Lennon-McCartney brought up and probably Jagger-Richards or Plant-Page, but what about STRUMMER-JONES?! Joe and Mick wrote some of the greatest tunes as a partnership and their tenure in the Clash speaks for itself. Five studio albums all critically acclaimed. Like all the previously mentioned greats, they had their ups and downs and fights, disagreements and splits were par for the course but when they sat down to write a song magic happened. Interesting enough in my opinion they actually made some great music after they split. Today the Garage salutes these two great talents with a triple-file- 1) A great Joe Strummer Cd boot hard-to-find called HMV 2001. 2) A partial Big Audio Dynamite show with dynamite sound and performance called Bradford 1988 and 3) The Clash at Kent State University in 1982 on the Combat Rock tour. Enjoy!

this day in rock- THE MONKEES Filmed Very First Episode!

THE BOYS IN THEIR DIRECTOR'S CHAIRS

RARE VINYL BOOTLEG FROM 1986 TOUR

SIGNED PHOTO FROM 1986

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

On this very day in 1966 the Monkees started filming their very first episode. Did these four guys know at the time that they would go on to become superstars and legendary icons? Probably not, but I think they knew that if they put everything into what they were doing then something great would come of it and that's exactly what happened. I dug out an old vinyl bootleg very rare from the 20th anniversary tour (pictured above) in Los Angeles. Sorry, I don't have a song list for it, it's divided into two sides, ripped right from the vinyl. Check it out! 

ONE YEAR SOBER! (mix)

A couple of years ago after 14 years of continuous sobriety I gave up on life and started a sad and frightening downward spiral that almost ended in death. Today I celebrate one year of sobriety and the day started off with a wonderful meeting at my home group in Palm Springs. After I was presented with a cake and the medallion pictured above everyone in the room took turns congradulating me and talking about the program of Alcoholics Anonymous. It was an incredible way to start the day and before I take off here for the rest of my day let me share this mix with you I just put together. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY EVERYONE! T:-)

The BLACK CROWES Historic Run At The FILLMORE 2009 (Part 2 of 5)

In the second of five incredible nights at the Fillmore in 2009 the Crowes "run the gambit" with an incredibly diverse set list. Here is a review written by a fan who attended the second night-

As with past Fillmore stands, the Wednesday show turned out to be special. With a day off before the weekend shows coming Thursday and all their gear settled in, the band and crew had every element dialed in, and the boys looked better rested and lightly spit-shined when they launched with "Movin' On Down The Line." No journey that begins with this drop-the-past-and-embrace-tomorrow anthem is likely to go anywhere but upward in a big way, and the thoughtful setlist construction, empathetic playing and naked emotional tenor made for a wonderful encapsulation of the Crowes at their very best.

It almost seems too cliché to compare a night like this to church, but a baptismal energy washed over Wednesday's proceedings, a visceral reminder of what music delivered with great skill and great heart can be. Sure, it is just a "rock show," as ever-stunning frontman Chris Robinson remarked, but when the blood of the thing begins to flow both ways, audience and performers sharing the same circulation, it can be considerably more.An early in the set "Twice As Hard" was belted out with real conviction, the lingering youthful bile in Chris' voice matched by the band's collective ferocity, but it was the new songs and deep catalogue tracks that shone most brightly on Wednesday. The playful ragtime accents on "Shady Grove" were a kick, as was the Lowell George vibe peeking through on "Under A Mountain" and "Another Roadside Tragedy." Main set closer "Been A Long Time (Waiting On Love)" was a kick ass reminder that the Crowes are still writing and playing at the top of their game in 2009. However, of the originals in the main set, the seldom played "Wyoming And Me" may have rung most poignantly, it's chorus a radio hit that never was since tender balladry isn't welcome on the airwaves much anymore.
By turns, the Crowes were trippy and tender, knockout tough and watery smooth. Each tune neatly found its way to the next because all felt part of some larger cloth. The real care they put into sequencing, catalogue mining, and cover selection is apparent. And like Tuesday, just as the ache of a slow burn like "Girl From A Pawnship" really sunk in, they'd veer into the warmth and sauciness of "She Gave Good Sunflower." They know what they're doing, pros in so many regards, and if one sets aside too much wishing for this or that tune and opens up to what they're crafting piece by piece onstage they may see the wisdom of the band's choices more clearly. That I can still be surprised (and usually delighted) by their setlists after 105 shows says a great deal about the possibilities of their broad catalog, which keeps adding new Chris and Rich Robinson tunes all the time as well as inspired cover picks like Traffic's "You Can All Join In" and Delaney & Bonnie's "Poor Elijah – Tribute To Johnson."

Again, too, the encore took what was already a very satisfying experience and raised it to a sublime one with three note-perfect covers. Starting with Eric Clapton's "Don't Know Why," given a fabulous '60s R&B wash, the encore kept the audience rapt, each successive tune bringing people a little closer to one another and perhaps the musicians onstage, too. There was no rush for the exits, no post-main set malaise. They'd saved some of their most powerful playing for the end, especially an extraordinary version of The Velvet Underground's "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'," which Rich sang the heart out of while the others danced with the snaking, seemingly never ending melody. After that, Little Feat's "Willin'" came across a bit like "And We Bid You Goodnight" at a Grateful Dead show or "This Land Is Your Land" at a folk gig – a bright circle drawn around the present moment that one can sing along to.
From cosmic cries to weary love songs to crushing rockers ("Sometimes Salvation," the quintessential Crowes song, was particularly heavy duty), The Black Crowes ran the gamut on Wednesday. One stumbled out feeling full and happy, confident that the weekend will continue what is shaping up to be perhaps the Crowes finest Fillmore run yet

Movin' On Down The Line, Under A Mountain, Shady Grove, Twice As Hard, Poor Elijah - Tribute To Johnson (Medley), Wyoming And Me, Wee Who See The Deep > The Raga > Another Roadside Tragedy, You Can All Join In, Girl From A Pawnshop, She Gave Good Sunflower, Sometimes Salvation, Jealous Again, Been A Long Time (Waiting On Love) Encore- Don't Know Why, Oh! Sweet Nuthin', Willin'

ENJOY!
