Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

Dom Salvador was there too but just as a spectator. Adrian & Ali brought him out and he got a standing ovation.

I saw Dom play at The River Cafe on many occasions over the years at The River Café. He’s been the pianist there for decades.

Rose Batiste, Clarence Avant, Toussaint McCall, Robbie Robertson, Rodriguez, Bernie Griffen. That's who I have lined up to tribute tonight.

Don't hear much different in the 7" Versions, aside from them being mono.

↳ Song: "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" by "The Band"
A Robbie obit called the song controversial. While the rethinking, reframing and renaming of recent years might certainly have brought up obvious questions about its attitude, if there was an active controversy or hot spotlight, I missed it.

awesome, i can imagine they would have been great live
Avatar 11:22pm
still b/p:

Robertson apparently claimed other members were so messed up by drugs and alcohol that he had to take more direct control. Never saw them, but if they were in such bad shape, I wonder what live shows of that period were like.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:22pm
doctorjazz:

From the Big Pink Bobby Dylan period (I read Robertson say they never played or even had acoustic instruments before the Big Pink time with Dylan; then the house kept filling up with them.

↳ Song: "The Weight" by "The Band"
I think this is my fave of theirs

Manuel was supposed to be a wreck, but he/they kept it tight in concert (at least when I saw them)

Kris Holmes:

Pretty fascinating story, I really enjoyed the biography from a few years back, maybe by Barney Hoskyns? I think it was actually called Across The Great Divide even? Well worth reading.

Kris, when did you see Rodriguez? I know he did a couple of US national tours when the film was out.

I'm not familiar with Rodriguez, now getting to hear a bit of his music.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:35pm

I either forgot or didn't realize Rodriguez's records were fairly well known in Australia until reading articles after his death. Trying to picture him on tour with Midnight Oil
