But I want to see him electric, which I haven't done live yet despite being a fan-boy since '69 (Missed the show at Berklee a couple of years back).

You might like this recording of one of them. The guy who warmed up for him was really good, but as soon as RT hit the stage, you knew you were in the presence of greatness. mvyradio Player

Hey Ed.

That's not being a bad influence on your daughter, that's quality parenting skills. Good to to get RT some younger fans.

Nice link to the Lowell show. I got through about half of it so far. I just saw RT solo acoustic Friday 6/12 in Kent (Ohio, not England). Excellent show as usual. Set was very similar to Lowell. His voice was in better shape than the last 3-4 times I've seen him. I finally got to see him eletric last year at the HOB in Cleveland. Great rocking show.

Can't say I've been a fan since '69. I caught on with Shoot Out the Lights in '82 which blew me away. If you want to continue the conversation feel free to PM me. Or we can just hijack this thread. Always glad to find another RT fan. There aren't enough of us.

RT's web site shows he's coming to Cambridge and Northampton with Loudon Wainright III in Oct. '09

This is an interview/studio performance on WNYC from 2005. Click "Listen to the whole show". Please note that it's Real Player and slow to load.

I'm glad I'm not the only grammar freak around here.

I never focused on this before. According to Wikipedia, it was Jay Graydon, an LA session guy and producer. I've got to pull that one off the shelf and give it listen now that I know that this is maybe the man's finest recorded moment.

That was interesting. Thanks for the link.

It's funny how I take some of these classic songs for granted Its nice to see how much went into making it unique which is part of what made it a classic.

That would've been cool, but it was interesting to hear a couple of the other solos (by different session guitarists) that were s'posed to fit that slot. The others are a bit snazzy, then you hear Graydon's twang bar, and you're like, "Of course…that's obviously the keeper."

Right on. That's what I was thinking: Thank god they didn't settle for those snazzy (perfect word) solos.
