"You Were on My Mind"もIan & Sylviaの曲だが、作曲はSylvia TysonのほうでWe Fiveの歌で有名。 これもカヴァーが数多い。自分はこの曲はJay & The Americansのカヴァーで知ってよく聴いていた。 その後We Fiveを聴くようになって馴染んだ。彼等のアルバムは2,3枚しか聴いたことがないが、 ポップスと違ってフォーク系のアルバムは難が特徴だから、馴染むまで時間がかかるな。 0423ベストヒット名無しさん2022/12/30(金) 18:56:17.64ID:qlCs7cFq 訂正:P.P. & Mはカヴァーしてなかった。思い違いだった すまない。 0424ベストヒット名無しさん2022/12/31(土) 20:18:30.32ID:lB/j/cKM 一年の最後は、楽しい曲聴いて締めよう おすすめは ドゥ・ワ・デディ・デディ/マンフレッド・マン 好きなんだ/フレディとドリーマーズ 0425ベストヒット名無しさん2023/01/01(日) 05:04:30.42ID:YlteUXc0 What a nice surprise - as the 40th anniversary (1973) of the breakthrough album "The Joker" by Steve Miller Band (SMB) which brought them Top Ten fame and multi million album sales has passed, the man releases a full live version of the album! This release in the UK via. Edsel continues their recent tie up for the release of the remastered versions of his first five LPs by SMB so hopefully more will follow, but sadly the release of this album on CD by Edsel in 2013 did not feature a remastering. The CD is largely culled it seems (there is no guidance of where recorded on the cover notes) from recent tours of the SMB, featuring the band members who were on the comeback releases "Bingo" and "Let your hair down" and who have toured Europe and USA over recent years. The one exception is "Come on in my kitchen" which features the "Fly like an eagle" SMB with Gary Mallaber on drums and longtime band member, the recently deceased bassist Lonnie Turner, so one assumes it was recorded in the mid-1970s. In releasing this live version the running order versus the original release has been completely changed and for the better I believe in terms of pacing and song mix. It kicks off with the aforementioned Robert Johnson song in a "70s recording (including opening old 78 rpm style crackles!) and finishes with the well known title hit track. I am pleased that all tracks feature Miller himself on main vocals as per the original album, though Sonny Charles who now handles much of the vocals in the group on their recordings and live sets is present in a vocal back up role. Overall quality is great and the performances are top notch though they do not stray in performance too much from the original recordings. Having been lucky to see SMB live many times over the years (including before they hit big with this release globally in 1973/4) I have never seen them deliver a poor show and while this feels as though it has been culled from several different shows as a long time SMB fan I don't think too many SMB fans will be disappointed. It would be great to see remastered versions via Edsel of this 8th album from SMB in original form plus the 6th (Rock Love") and 7th ("Recall the beginning - a journey from Eden") albums in the re-release series. Maybe thats finally too much to hope for as it seems Miller himself is not enamoured with the two prior releases due to production pressures and problems he had with the US Capitol label at the time of recording. Sadly at present, the only way to get these albums on CD is a bootleg looking US version of "Rock Love" padded out with rejected tracks from the subsequent Beacon Theatre live recordings release and an Argentinian (!) CD release of "Recall the Beginning". 0426ベストヒット名無しさん2023/01/01(日) 05:07:41.66ID:YlteUXc0 Wonderful to see Steve Miller talking about the old days on the DVD. And it's revealing too, learning his history, but especially how much time and determination went into the writing and evolution of the songs. You would have thought that the idea of the echo-loop synth sounds and the song writing would have been a major part of the effort, but it turns out that the funny noises were a last minute afterthought, and the lyrics were swapped between tunes - as proven by the disconcerting bonus tracks. The years of delay went into - what then? The band was on the road developing songs the best possible way - testing them on live audiences. Take The Money And Run is ruthlessly simple, yet captivating and uplifting. The energy is real, it's not faked with production technique, just plain simple human energy, recorded as it happened. Great!
When my first son was born, we brought him home and put him in a cot between the two hi-fi speakers and put on the new record by Steve Miller! So this has special memories for me. Notwithstanding, you have here one of the last of the simple rock greats. Only a special few people made such indelible marks on the book of rock history with so little ink. Forgive me a quick grumpy-old-man outburst, but the honest efficiency with which The SMB conveys its atmosphere track by track is refreshing in an age of over-mastered, over-produced 200-track recordings that are 10% about showcasing talent and 90% about concealing it. Steve Miller Band had their chops down, and made a great album that bridged from AOR to Pop radio and sold deservingly well on an appeal that was broad, and it turns out, long lasting. 0427ベストヒット名無しさん2023/01/01(日) 05:11:16.47ID:YlteUXc0 Having listened to this many times since release, I'd say it's overall a really good GBs album. It's got enough of the old sound to give a die hard fan like myself loads of enjoyment, and is different enough to give their catalogue an extra dimension. It was never going to be on a par with NME, but it's not really the same band anymore that made that all time classic.
There are lots of really good songs from most of the band - Bill has stepped up hugely, especially with Miranda Chicago, Mega Pawn King, and New Mexico Trouble (with Scotty). I always like Robin's songs, and they're strong on this album too. Scotty's songs with Robin and Bill are really good too (Still Some Room In Heaven, Shadow).
The only disappointment really is Jesse's songs - they're all written with Danny Wilde (of the Rembrandts), and none of them is especially good. Wonder is just plain poor. Jesse has delivered several good and some great songs over the years, so not sure what happened here. Maybe he's saving some for his next solo album.
I was interested to hear what the production would be like, as it was done with some of REM's old producers. There are pros and cons, really. I like the intros, and sparing use of trumpet, flute, and piano. But the overall sound lacks the quality and shine of their first 3 records. There doesn't seem to be much depth in the mix, and the cymbals can sound quite clangy and overbearing on some songs. The new drummer seems good, but it's a shame Phil isn't involved anymore, as he was great, and for me was a really important part of their sound.
But overall, it's well worth buying if you've got any interest in the band, and a strong record in its own right. 0428F13 ◆kCIlRNzsK2 2023/01/20(金) 23:30:02.76ID:xA/gppAK タイトルホルダー 凱旋門賞直後から「有馬は勝てない、良くて好走まで」と散々書いた この馬が一瞬でも有馬を ”勝てる” などと思ったのなら、かなりの馬鹿か超ビギナー 当時も反論する奴は誰もいなかった
