Saw him in a crap-hole bar in Wichita, KS back in the 80s when I was in college. In fact one of my college instructors, who was a Mississippi Delta style player, convinced me to cut class and go see him. There were like 20 people in the bar, half of whom were playing pool and completely oblivious. :thwap

He put on a great show.

Sound like an awesome educational experience in and of itself. I'm only first getting into his music recently, but it's becoming quickly addictive.

This too...

I usually have music on in my office all day, which can be heard throughout my secondhand shop. There's a big variety, but mostly nothing people expect to hear in a little village. The only music I overhear in public around here is country or sometimes current pop.

I listen to a lot of blues and T. Rex!

The Husky Marching Band version of this is playing right now, on my computer, and in my head today. I love it when the higher registered brass takes over the melody before the big finale! :dance

Decided to go back and listen to the first 4 albums from The Police. I forgot how much of an influence Andy Summers' riffs and rhythms were for me. These 4 albums covered my high school days. (I think I sported every haircut seen on the first 3 album covers either intentionally or otherwise!)

1978

1979

1980

1981 (saw this tour)

A few vocal misses (guest singers), but most tracks sound great, no, make that incredible!

POTC Soundtrack "Dead Man's Chest". Currently listening to the track "Kraken" figuring that its rhythm is similar to Zep's "Kashmir" in parts.

R.e.m.

R.E.M. was a huge influence on me back when these were new. Certainly worth listening to again as they are among their very best.

Chronic Town (1981)

Murmur (1983)

Reckoning (1984)

Fables Of The Reconstruction (1985)

Life's Rich Pageant (1986)
