(57,621 posts)In a post elsewhere, I said that sometimes I think King Crimson is the best band from the '60s. Well, sometimes I think this is the best movie of all time.
I've seen "Citizen Kane" in a movie theater, when it came around on its 50th anniversary. There is no comparison with seeing it on TV. I've also seen "Once Upon a Time in the West" in a movie theater, but that was also over 25 years ago. It's on TV all the time, but even on a flatscreen, you know you are seeing only a pale imitation of the real film.
Thanks for posting this.

(7,350 posts)This is a great version! That's Chris Wilson singing and on lead maracas, though. He joined after original singer Roy Loney left. Although Roy cowrote the song he never recorded it with the band!
Here's another version, by the Dictators in 1977. A little faster, more punkish, but maybe even...better?

He has a friend of his doing the lead guitar. David Gilmour. Eerie.

(47,571 posts)More of a fanfare, really, as it just exists to get your attention and bring you over to the song.
They do kind of an inside-out recall of it right before the middle solo. (At about 1:06 on this video.)
Iggo
(47,571 posts)Another fanfare, announcing the arrival of a song of importance.
Eight beats and a released bend on the low E string.
Changed my life.

Rock n Roll AnimalI see it's already here (http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018881096#post29). I should have known. Oh, well, no reason not to listen to it twice.
Steve Hunter
Dick Wagner
After his service in the Army, he returned to Decatur where he built a reputation as a gifted guitar player. One day he got a telephone call from his Decatur friend, John "Polar Bear" Sauter, that changed his life.
My copy is warped. It still plays. I listened to this so many times.
AR turntable. Grace 707 tonearm. Dynaco vacuum tube preamp and a pair of Dynaco Stereo 70 vacuum power amps. The original Magnepans.
Totally old school, and totally high fidelity. No compressed files pretending to be some sort of reproduction of music.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

(671 posts)25 years later I was working with Dick.
Played live and in studio with him and co-produced/wrote with him on 4 albums.
Him and Steve were the dynamic duo for sure.
He is missed.

Sometimes I think King Crimson is the best band from the '60s.
Robert Fripp for president.
This has to be seen to be believed:
I like 801's version, but this is great:

Okay, then, Phil Manzanera, from "801 Live." This is my favorite song, from my favorite song:

(57,621 posts)Another poster linked to Iggy Pop.
Here's more Iggy. I just finished watching the DVD of Repo Man last night. It takes me about three nights to watch a DVD. I watch a little and fall asleep. The next night, I watch a little more and fall asleep again. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Longer and with the lyrics. You'll hear this at the end of the movie.
By the way, the car has two different license plates in the movie. One plate shows up in the opening sequence and trailer. Another is on the car elsewhere in the movie.
