Playlist, Week of 2018-03-11




Delving into the mammoth Anthony Braxton Bird set.... just wonderful... The live Sly & the Family Stone sets from 1968 feature the band at its peak in terms of power and pure funkativity... I was lucky enough to see Sly at the Mosque in '68... as I recall, he was only about 45 minutes late... Love Sonic Youth's noise-rock sensibility with their takes on 20th-century composers like John Cage and Cornelius Cardew... The Beach Boys 2012 show in Texas is a little rougher than the officially released CDs from the 50th anniversary tour, but it is still surprisingly strong...

    1. It was the old Rykodisc CD. I never had the original LP, although I did used to have the single given out to Deadheads in the '70s. Anyway, I was not aware of the newly remastered version, so thanks for the tip!
