Love this! I can play it on the piano, even.

Love it, love it, love it!!!

Truly one of the all time best live albums.

The album had a quote under the song listing that said something like "This song should only be listened to at the highest possible volume your stereo can muster and not by those in a severely hallucinogenic state of mind."

CRANK IT UP!

I timed it on my 8-track player in the car several times and it ran just over 42 seconds. It was off of "Tales from the Ozone".

Mr. Magic - Grover Washington Jr.

Anyone who's ever played in a big band/jazz band will appreciate the complexity of this one.

Loved Camel!

It's from a 1964 album. Is that close enough to the 70's?

Excellent choice, imo!

Couple that with this:

(Hawking back to the 50's with its most unusual turkish time-beat)

Oscar Peterson (1925 – 2007) was the greatest jazz pianist since Art Tatum (1909 – 1956).

"Django" is a 1950's composition by John Lewis and the title track of a Modern Jazz Quartet album.

I agree that Oscar Peterson's performance of "Django" was a masterpiece.

Here is another virtuoso performance by Oscar Peterson in his prime:

That was outstanding!!!

Thanks for posting

was also great in a quiet, contemplative sort of way. Check out his "Blue in Green" with Miles Davis. That was from the 1950s.

Meanwhlle back in the 70's ...

Speaking of quiet and contemplative reminds me of Shirley Horn. This is one of my favorites by her: "Light Out Of Darkness"

jump into this live cut about 2 minutes to where the music actually starts.

Amazing instrumentalists.

but i reckon if that 64 up there is close enough this'll do too. Besides, nobody will ever hurt my feelings by posting a Led Zep song.

I still consider Zep the quintessential 70's rock band, though.

Even though I didn't truly discover them until late '81...they still remind me of all the things I loved about the 70s.

Was one the greatest live cuts ever recorded IMO. Just had to throw this one in the mix.

I love Samba Pa Ti also.

Here's his very similar Europa:

Classical Gas

I don't know if it's been included in an untitled video before, but Fleetwood Mac's Albatross has always been a favourite of mine:

My favourite music genre, alongside Baroque/Classical, is European electronica from the seventies: Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Jean Michel Jarre, Ashra Tempel, etc, etc.

Here's a taste: (Klaus Schulze's Chrystal Lake)

I Robot...brings back "dazed and confused" days

Smooth yet direct at the same time. No easy feat! They build up into a really cool, outrageous, screeching timeless jam!

This EL&P reminded me of the Moody Blues:

This one shows 1970:

and on a single in 1968.

Thanks for setting the record straight on this one.

I remember it on some level - though like - never on purpose, you know?

A bit of a blast from the past. Just where in the world do you find these old recordings? Cool & Unique stuff!

So I look up the songs I remember from then on You Tube, and most of them are there in one form or another. Popcorn was one of my favorites

...until just now!

Awesome, good one.

Joy.

...must be absolute fools to let this escape us!

Joy.

But I don't think it even made the Top 100 for that year

It was important to you...and that's all that counts!

And hearing it on the radio was about the only way I could listen to it back in '72.

from what I recall was like just starting to introduce folks into something called 'FM' radio...though it would be a few years later before it really made a presence. AM pretty much ruled the day, from what I can remember back in '72.

You know (perhaps remember)...those *tin-foiled wrapped, aluminum rabbit ears* and all....

Pretty much at the mercy of 3 main TV stations back then and what - a small handful of the then *UHF* stations if the sky was clear?

The local FM stations had a range of 20 miles or less. There were 3 or 4 that could be picked up on our box, and the one from 20 miles away was always fading in and out. By 1974, there was a station that was coming in clear from 30 miles away. We had basic cable back then ($5/month) and we were offered all 4 Tulsa TV stations (though only one came in clear), two stations from Joplin, Missouri, one station from Pittsburg, Kansas, and one station from Ft. Smith, Arkansas. Rabbit ears wouldn't have picked up anything consistently, although I was once able to watch half of a Cardinals baseball game on KOLR Springfield (100 miles away) with rabbit ears, and learn, by sheer coincidence, on the KOLR news that a kid who had been a friend of mine at the Boys Club and had moved to Springfield, had been gored by a bull

you just can't make that stuff up!

I would imagine that the kids today have no earthly idea what all went down before they were born with respect to AM/FM radio.

Almost like a *twilight zone* different dimension/existence in some ways...I would imagine ~

Not really sure how I feel about this one.

It kind of borders on satire...in a musical sort of way...yet, at the same time - kind of wants me to bang my head against the wall too.



Something about it all sounds really obscure to me.

...Interesting, though ~
