I've always loved Nanci Griffith's music almost as much as Emmylou Harris's.
Lyle Lovett sang Harmony on Nanci's first few albums. In fact he can be seen as the male dancer on the cover of her LP 'Last of the True Believers".
This is from "One Fair Summer Evening live at Anderson Fair".

From the. 04:07 mark on utterly gives me the chills, as She belts this tune to the high heavens...

Btw- RIP Nanci, you're truly Angelic!

I prefer this version. Joe and. (some of) The Eagles as his sidemen. Felder on backup guitar Glenn Frey on piano. Henley was there that night but took a break during this tune if I am not mistaken. This was 1975 and the Eagles would adopt Joe as their next band member, thus launching them instantly overnight to a rock and roll Stadium Superstar global status.
In 75 Meisner and Bernie were still performing as members, but they left the band, somewhere in this time frame.
At a stadium show in Anaheim, with Jackson Browne opening for the Eagles followed by Linda Ronstadt closing, and the last hour all three headliners playing together. That was one of the very first shows which Joe Walsh would play.

After the Eagles had played for about an hour most of their early acoustic work, and some of their present-day hits, all of the sudden the opening guitar work for Rocky Mountain Way could be heard blasting through the stadium with no Joe in sight. After a minute's worth of Joe playing the intro behind the stage, he finally appeared to a rip roaring crowd of 50,000. The Joe Walsh intro, the original barnstormer, was now flying with the Eagles, and rock and roll was never the same.

David Gilmore and Joe Walsh, were always some of my fav guitar players, ....Jeff Beck being my fav.

My fav JW tune:

 
This epic classic is a dying tune in this fkdup era of political correctness, the "Cancel Culture" and the blind "Awoke Crowd".

The Stones, R&R's Kings of Band longetivity, are no longer playing this classic either.

I wish the "Awokened Crowd" and "Cancel Culture' would go back to sleep for another century!

After time, Meisner couldn't sing the high parts for "Take it to the Limit" .He hated performing this song. One of the reasons he left.
 
A band that was enormous in '67~68. This album cover was really tacky but the music was great.

Yeah, supposedly, Meisner and Frey actually got into a fist fight just before a concert because Randy refused to sing Take It To The Limit anymore...Frey evidently changed Meisner his mind because he did in fact sing it that night but was fired shortly thereafter.

Loved Meisner's work when he was with Poco...this was probably their best album.

1977
I have liked this "Love on Soundstage" version of The Doobie Brothers classic 'Taking it to the Streets".
Jeff "Skunk" Baxter's guitar work, and solo performance, on this version is impeccable! Michael McDonald has a nice solo as well.

I've always preferred the Doobies after Baxter joined the group, post Steely Dan days.
He gave the band another angle/slant, and additional stronger layer of guitar work, kind of sort of like what Joe Walsh did for the Eagles in my opinion.

I love how he gives his Teley quite a workout without destroying it.
 
Speaking of Steely Dan, "Aja"was one of the most played and listened to LP's of 1977/78, with constant FM air play, of the soundtrack tune,: "FM (no static at all", as well as the Platinum LP: "Aja".



I've read on more than one occasion, how Steely Dan were often referred to as the master musical hypnotist of the 70s cocaine generation.

Here is an amazing super group, who only made one album together
Sam Bush mandolin player, was inducted into the International Bluegrass Hall of Fame in 2020. Sam was an integral member of Emmylou Harris's band The Nash Ramblers.

Béla Fleck has won 14 Grammy awards and been nominated for a dozen more.
Both Fleck and Bush were sidemen to Lyle Lovett, and both have played on numerous genres of music, and in several other bands.

This is a catchy tune that "I can't get out of my head"!

FIVE freaking octaves?....Her voice simply blew me away when I first heard this song...and still does;

I was actually at 1 of the 3 consecutive nights of concerts JB played at The Fox Theatre in Atlanta (incredible acoustics) in 1978 when this live album was made (he still had a cast on one of his legs that he had broke a couple weeks before while playing softball).

I had already become a HUGE fan of his when I first saw him live at the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando on July 4th 1977 along with The Eagles, Hall and Oates, and Andrew Gold. The Eagles got top billing because Hotel California had just come out and because, well the were "The Eagles", which is why I went to the concert in the first place.

But for me at least, Jimmy Buffett absolutely stole the show and forever turned me into a "Parrot Head"...and this is one of my favs...great lyrics.
