Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie

I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

Your daddy, he's an outlaw
A wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade

He oversees his kingdom
No stranger dare intrude
His voice, it trembles as he calls
For another plate of food

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf

Your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a lark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below
Oh, to the valley below

Neil Young - No Wonder (Prairie Wind)

 Prairie Wind is the twenty-seventh studio album by Canadian musician Neil Young, released on September 27, 2005. After dalliances with 1960s soul music (Are You Passionate?) and rock opera (Greendale, which spawned a Young-directed film of the same name), Prairie Wind featured an acoustic-based sound reminiscent of his earlier commercially successful albums Harvest and Harvest Moon. The album was in part inspired by the illness and recent death of his father, Canadian sportswriter and novelist Scott Young, and the album is dedicated in part to the elder Young.

"No Wonder"
See the bluebird fly easy as a dream
Dipping and bobbing in the sun
Could she be the one I saw so long ago
Could she be the one to take me home

This pasture is green
I'm walking in the sun
It's turning brown
I'm standing in the rain
My overcoat is worn
The pockets are all torn
I'm moving away from the pain

Tick-tock
The clock on the wall
No wonder we're losing time
Ring, ring
The old church bell
The bride and her love
Seeking guidance from above

Amber waves of grain bow in the prairie wind
I'm hearing Willie singing on the radio again
That song from 9/11 keeps ringing in my head
I'll always remember something Chris Rock said

Don't send no more candles
No matter what you do
Then Willie stopped singing
And the prairie wind blew
The green kept rolling on
For miles and miles
Fields of fuel rolling on for miles

Tick-tock
The clock on the wall
No wonder we're losing time
Toll, toll
The fallen soldier bell
The old church on the hill
Still standing when so many fell

Back when I was young, the birds blocked out the sun
Before the great migration south
We only shot a few
They last the winter through
Mother cooked them good and served them up

Somewhere a senator sits in a leather chair
Behind a big wooden desk
The caribou we killed mean nothing to him
He took his money just like all the rest

Tick-tock
The clock on the wall
No wonder we're losing time
Ring, ring
Ring the wedding bells
The bride takes the ring
And the happy people sing

The Yardbirds - Empire Pool , Wembley, London op 1 Mei 1966

                  The Yardbirds 1966

 Keith Relf - Vocals,Jeff Beck- Guitar,Jimmy Page- Guitar,Chris Dreja - Bass,Jim McCarty -Drums.
  

"Train Kept A-Rollin'" (or "The Train Kept A-Rollin'") is a song first recorded by American jazz and rhythm and blues musician Tiny Bradshaw in 1951.
 
In 1965, the Yardbirds popularized the song as an early psychedelic blues rock song, due largely to Jeff Beck's fuzz-toned guitar work. Theirs soon became the most copied arrangement with recordings by a variety of musicians. After guitarist Jimmy Page joined the group, the Yardbirds recorded an updated version with new lyrics as "Stroll On" for the film Blowup in 1966. With a highly charged rhythm section and a dual lead guitar attack by Beck and Page, it is seen as a forerunner to heavy metal.

Without Jimmy Page but with Paul Samwell Smith ?


"Shapes of Things" is a song by the English rock group the Yardbirds. With its Eastern-sounding, feedback-laden guitar solo and anti-war/pro-environmental lyrics, several music writers have identified it as the first popular psychedelic rock song. It is built on musical elements contributed by several group members in three different recording studios in the US and was the first Yardbirds' composition to become a record chart hit. When it was released as a single on 25 February 1966, the song reached number three in the UK and the top-ten in the US and Canada.

Van Morrison plays Astral Weeks (Hay-On-Wye ,Wales, 01-06-2001)

Hay-on-Wye (Welsh: Y Gelli Gandryll or just Y Gelli), often abbreviated to just "Hay", is a small market town and community in the historic county of Brecknockshire in Wales, currently administered as part of the unitary authority of Powys.^] With over twenty bookshops, it is often described as "the town of books", and is both the National Book Town of Wales and the site of the annual Hay Literary Festival.
The settlement's name is first referred to between 1135 and 1147 as "Haya"; in 1299 the name of "La Haye" is used. By the 16th century it was simply called "Hay", and the use of the river as a suffix is a later addition. In 1215, a Welsh name, "Gelli" was recorded, and "Gelli gandrell" in 1614; the two names may have been used concurrently in 1625. The English language name, "Hay", is derived from Old English "hæg", possibly meaning a "fenced area" and a noun used in late Saxon and Norman times for an enclosure in a forest. The Welsh word celli (lenited to Gelli) has a range of meanings including wooded areas of various extents

  Sweet Thing (thanks to the taper)

The town lies on the south-east bank of the River Wye and is within the north-easternmost tip of the Brecon Beacons National Park, just north of the Black Mountains. The town is just on the Welsh side of the border with Herefordshire, England, here defined by the Dulas Brook. Where the brook joins the River Wye just north of the town, the border continues northwards along the river. The Wye was the boundary between the former counties and districts of Radnorshire and Brecknockshire.
The adjacent village of Cusop lies on the English side of the Dulas Brook. The nearest city is Hereford, county town of Herefordshire, some 22 miles (35 km) to the east.

Steely Dan - 1980 The Lost Gaucho Gaucho Studio Demos

The following is taken from Steely Dan’s website: "While recording "Gaucho", Becker and Fagen had to endure various misfortunes which delay the release date: Becker is hit by a car, one of their favorite new tracks "The Second Arrangement" is accidentally erased by an assistant recording engineer, and there is a dispute over which record company has the rights to their forthcoming album.


 Thanks To Master Eddie

"Becker and Fagen had already signed a new contract with Warner Brothers, but ABC (now owned by MCA) claims that they are still owed one more album. MCA wins the contract dispute and then decides to increase the album's list price to US$9.98, one dollar more than all the other albums. Donald and Walter continue to hold back the album while they unsuccessfully fight the price increase. Finally, Gaucho is released in November, 1980." Aja came out in 1977 and Steely Dan took three years fighting with their record company before they released Gaucho in 1980. Unknown to most fans was the "lost" Gaucho, a complete album vastly different to what was released. Of the songs that appeared on Gaucho only three appeared on this lost version in different form. Were You Blind That Day was an early rendition of a song with different lyrics that finally appeared as Third World Man on Gaucho. Time Out Of Mind on the lost version is simpler missing the embellishments added on the Gaucho version. And the title track here is just an instrumental. But the lost Gaucho had original songs that never appeared before. Kind Spirit, The Bear, The Second Arrangement, Talkin’ About My Home and Kulee Baba have never been released as far as we know in any form. For the longest time, the only source of info on this lost album was from Brian Sweet’s Steely Dan biography, Reelin’ In The Years, which told the story of how at least one track from the early Gaucho sessions was accidentally erased by a careless engineer. The track was identified as The Second Arrangement. Sweet said Becker and Fagen decided it was too difficult to get the feel of that song and abandoned it in favor of Third World Man. These early sessions supposedly originate from 1979 and earlier versions of these songs circulated in poorer quality until 2002 when high quality copies of the sessions emerged. A copy was recently torrented and shared among the trading community. We’ve heard the earlier Gaucho Outtakes and can vouch that this new source is superior with a clean sound and wide stereo. (However, CD #1 was unfortunately presented in an 'Out-Of-Phase' reproduction, which can be corrected by means of 'Phase Reversal' on one channel in analogue mode.) As to why so many songs were dropped from the final lineup of Gaucho, a case can be made that this early version was too close in style to 1977’s Aja - shorter songs, sweeter melodies and more accessible lyrics. The finally released Gaucho seemed purposely obscure, deep and complex. Was it to spite their record company MCA? Is it possible that The Second Arrangement was never erased but that Becker and Fagen concocted the story to avoid releasing what they thought was the better version of Gaucho? Listen and decide for yourself.

Lucinda Willams - OLT Rivierenhof Antwerpen (8-31-2017)

      7 jaar geleden zag ik Lucinda Williams in dit prachtige openluchttheater optreden,en deze avond deed ze het nog een keer over.Ook nu weer een mooi optreden,een regenbuitje tussendoor mocht de pret niet drukken.Ook Lucinda had het naar haar zin ,dit is wat ze schreef op FB.

      There was some debate about whether we played in the world's diamond capital of Antwerp before, the band was saying yes -and after some intense (not really) online research they were proven correct.(L.W.)

Not only had we played Antwerp in July of 2009 but we had played the same beautiful Openluchttheater Rivierenhof, so we got all that squared away. Lu really love the sound on stage, so the technical problems of the night before in Amsterdam were completely behind us. This one did have a rather unusual ending.(L.W)

                                                     All day long they had been telling that it was a hard curfew so we were careful to make the setlist go right up to the final minute - and actually a couple minutes. After Lu and the band had left the stage and headed toward the dressing room - and with the boisterous crowd now not wanting leave - one of the production managers came over and said “one more” (L.W)

So we went to see if we could get everybody together to go back out and do another song. About this time the house lights came up and the after show music had started and some people had started to leave - but most of the audience was still there. We had to go get David back from the dressing room but we managed to get everybody back quickly and back on stage for a rollicking version of Get Right With God - and people who had begun leaving came back down to the front of the stage. A crazy ending to a great night in Antwerp we’ll definitely remember this one! (L.W)

The Byrds (org. line-up) - Live!! (1965)

                        
                           
The Byrds, van L.naar R. David Crosby,Gene Clarke,Michael Clarke,Chris Hillman,RogerMcGuinn.

 Het was de bedoeling dat The Byrds de  Amerikaanse tegenhanger zou worden van Britse bands
als   The Beatles en The Rolling Stones. Wat haardracht en gillende dames betreft waren er wel overeenkomsten,muzikaal wat minder. De band ontwikkelde een volstrekt eigen sound ,mede door de 12-snarige gitaar van Roger McGuinn.Door het coveren van nummers van folkartiesten als Pete Seeger en Bob Dylan werd hun muziek in die tijd ook wel omschreven als "folkrock"

                                          Turn,Turn Turn (Pete Seeger)

 De opnames komen uit de concertfilm The Big TNT Show gepresenteerd door David McCallum.
Andere optredende artiesten waren o.a The Lovin Spoonful,Ray Charles,BoDiddley,Donovan ,Petula Clarke,Roger Miller,Ike&TinaTurner,Joan Baez.

                                          The Bells of Rhymny (Pete Seeger)

 In 1966 verliet David Crosby de band,de groep ging steeds meer zijn eigen weg. "The Notorious Byrd Brothers". is nog steeds een prachtig album Het daaropvolgende album, getiteld "Sweetheart Of The Rodeo",was wel even wennen country muziek pur sang ,maar ook deze is het beluisteren nog steeds meer dan waard .Eigenlijk twee tijdloos mooie albums,

                                          Mr.Tambourine Man(Bob Dylan)

Drummer Michael Clarke overleed in 1993.Na zijn periode bij The Byrds maakte hij samen met Doug Dillard en Gene Clarke het prachtige album  The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark
nog steeds een van de mooiste albums uit mijn verzameling.daarna voegde hij bij The Flying Burrito Brothers (met onder anderen Gram Parsons, Chris Hillman en Rick Roberts) . In 1973 deed hij mee aan de reünie van The Byrds. Hij speelde van 1974 tot 1981 in de door Roberts opgerichte softrockgroep Firefall.

                                          The Times they are Changing(Bob Dylan)

Gene Clarke samen met Roger McGuinn en David Crosby een van de oprichters van The Byrds overleed in 1991.Hij had in 1966 de groep al verlaten om een solocarriere te beginnen.Hoewel Roger McGuinn erg gezichtbepalend was voor de band,was Gene toch verantwoordelijk voor de grootste hits ,waaronder"I Feel A Whole Lot Of Better" en "Eight Miles High"Zijn solocarriere verliep met pieken en dalen,maar leverde wel een paar pareltjes op in mijn muziekverzameling met "The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard andClarke" en "Through The Morning,Through the Night"(Dillard & Clarke)en solo met o.a"White Light,"Roadmaster en vooral het prachtige "No Other"

                                          Do You Believe in Magic(John Sebastian,Lovin Spoonful)

De overige drie leden zijn nog steeds "on te road".David Crosby nog dikwijls met Crosby,Stills Nash en soms Young.Roger McGuin solo(zag hem een paar jaar geleden nog op het bluesfestival van Peer,erg mooi.)Chris Hillman kennen we natuurlijk van de Flying Burrito Brothers,The Desert Rose Band en is ook te horen als muzikant op talloze albums.

Gene Clarke (Tipton (Missouri), 17 november 1944 - Sherman Oaks (Californië), 24 mei 1991)

The Byrds - Monterey PopFestival 17 Juni 1967

Waarschijnlijk niet het beste optreden van The Byrds op het Montery Popfestival van 1967.
In ieder geval niet goed genoeg voor de officiele film die van dit festival gemaakt is.
Wat mij betreft onterecht,zeker omdat er van The Byrds, in een van eerste bezettingen weinig goede ,,live,,beelden zijn.Medeoprichter Gene Clarke had de band al verlaten,The Byrds bestonden op dit moment uit Roger McGuin,David Crosby,Chris Hillman en Michael Clarke


Chimes Of Freedom
Komt van het eerste album van The Byrds Mr Tambourin Man.
Geschreven door Bob Dylan in 1964 en geinspereerd door de dichter Alan Rimbaut



He Was A Friend Of Mine van het album Turn Turn Turn
"He Was a Friend of Mine" is een traditione folk song waarin de zanger over de dood van een vriend zingt. Door zeer veel artiesten gecoverd o.a Bob Dylan,Dave Van Ronk,Grateful Dead,Bobby Bare,The Black Crows en natuurlijk The Byrds.Roger McGuin paste de tekst aan naar aanleiding van de moord op John F Kennedy.Een van de mooiste en meest recente, is de uitvoering van Willie Nelson in de film Brokeback Mountain.


Hey Joe van het album Fifth Dimension
Niet helemaal duidelijk wie het nummer geschreven heeft ,Tim Rose,Dino Valenti,Billy Roberts het kan allemaal.Er zijn veel uitvoeringen van de song o.a The Leaves,The Standells,The Surfaris,Love ,The Byrds en ontelbaar veel anderen. Maar de grote doorbraak was natuurlijk de onvergetelijke versie van Jimi Hendrix.
