best wishes......and lets hope for a speedy recovery.....keep on rockin......thanks for everything

Saw Bo several years ago in NY at Little Steven's Underground Garage Festival. One of the few surviving pioneers that hasnt gone insane.

Old age is a hassle

Saw Bo with Chuck Berry at Boston Common Series in the 70's.

Hat. Square guitar. Balls of brass.

He's a mannnnnnn, yeah!

Ted Nugent wears a loincloth!

Ted Nugent isn't worthy of polishing Bo's shoes.

Joking about an earlier Sean Hannity/Ted Nugent lovefest.

Bo is the man!

Mudshark,
Great link to the Jeff Beck. I saw Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan in Sacramento late '89 early '90. Stevie Ray actually opened for Jeff Beck that night, but I heard they alternated for different tour dates.

On the flip side of Humble Pie

Best wishes to Bo Diddley and he OWNS that song . . . although the Brits like The Yardbirds and Keith Relf did a GREAT uptempo version of it that I can NEVER shake off . . . The Bo Knows, Though!

Excuse me.
I ment to say it would have been post-Army Elvis.

Incidents like these must be laughable within other elite-leadership circles and conversations around the globe.

Maybe when American politicians travel the world to negotiate treaties and to converse with other worldly leaders, they should all take a Portable-Potty with them.

Everytime I hear news concerning American leaders trippin' around the globe, I will always picture them negotiating from within a Portable-Potty.

Calm

Question(s) for any musical geniuses (geni ..?) out there:

1. Two songs that sound live -- "Bennie and the Jets" (Elton John) and "I Want You to Want Me" (Cheap Trick)... they aren't REALLY live, are they? Are there any versions that sound studio-ish?

2. In the lead guitar part of "Fool in the Rain" (Led Zeppelin), what effect is Jimmy Page using? My friend and I had an argument many years back about this. He said it was/is a guitar synth and I say it's an octaver (a device which splits the signal into different octaves).

Anyone on either or both?

Gratze!

After Wiki-ing it, I found that "I Want You to Want Me" "...is a song by Cheap Trick, originally recorded in 1977 for their album In Color, though the version from the band's 1978 album At Budokan subsequently became better known than the original."

I listened to a clip from the original (off In Color) and it SUCKS!! No wonder the live version became better known!

Also from Wiki:

"After recording the song in the studio, John and the band worried that it was too plain and unoriginal. According to guitarist Davey Johnstone, "'Bennie and the Jets' was one of the oddest songs we ever recorded. We just sat back and said, 'This is really odd'." The song was sent to producer Gus Dudgeon, who added the "live" sound to the track. Dudgeon added applause and audience sounds from John's previous concerts, plus whistles and a hand clap on the off beats. According to Dudgeon, "English audiences always clap on the off beat, they're always on when they're supposed to be off, which drives me crazy."

The use of live sounds has the effect of using the audience itself as a musical instrument."

And you know that everything in Wiki is true. :-)

And, wouldn't you know it...

"Page uses an MXR Blue Box effect pedal during the solo to produce the octave sound."

Why didn't I Wiki it to begin with?!?!?

Theres actually a pre-In Color version of I Want You To Want Me on Cheap Trick's Box Set. Much heavier and more like the live version or should I say the live version is more like it. In other words blame In Color's producer!
