Learned of that just today... Had no idea. I knew Rick played on some of his tracks but not the Producer part. I guess Rick had some kind of competition going on with Ronnie Montrose.
 
The second sampling from the record store trip. First time hearing this album in it's entirety...

No idea really. Just some guitar God aspirational BS would be my guess ...
Seem to recall people referring to Derringer as a bit of a dick back in the Rolling Stone magazine heyday.
 
Last day of flex time off that I don't have to be somewhere early so working through my 60 minute individual artist mixes while figuring out my strategy for reserving campsites 5 months and 11 months out. Indeed, it's a lot like planning some kind of military campaign to get reservations to get the boss down to the Florida Keys for 10 days next January. In the meantime, I've burned through my electric Dylan, CCR, Elton John (FM cuts) mixes and am working my way through Jackson Browne at the moment. Soon to be followed by Johnny Cash.
 
Remarkable how well the audio on this video sounds considering it's from 1978.

Ronnie Montrose on his 'Open Fire' tour. Never knew the great Steve Smith played drums on that tour...

 
Forgot to mention, the dude at the record store spun a vinyl version of that Fleetwood Mac. Never heard it before. Some real special bluesy tracks in that collection...
 
And I can live the rest of my life not hearing it again......is it an acquired taste Tony?

LMAO

Not a great example of the most solid blues groove on that album. But posted it because of the name recognition of that particular song.

Acquired taste? I suppose one either likes the blues or not. I'd say it's above average to really good stuff coming from that era of musicians.
And as pre-Pop Fleetwood Mac ... quite different from what I expected to hear...

Creedence........The Concert

I got a copy of that LP when it came out. Mine is titled at the Royal Abert Hall before changing it to The Concert. Since it was mislabeled as they never played there, it's still factory sealed.

What's it like to listen to? I've never heard it but reviews and reports I read long ago were that it was not stellar.
 
It's various cuts from a live concert or concerts, so there's no continuity from song to song. Overall it's a decent recording, with the pace a little slower than the studio versions. So, it's different. Would have been better if each side of the LP was unbroken with no cuts.
Have to wonder why they did it this way.
 
The planks are wild black cherry from a neighbors tree I chainsawed out and dried in the garage. Then hit them with a 80 grit auto body grinder to smooth them a little, then clear spar urethane.
The upright legs are black walnut from back yard. They're bored for thick threaded rod, fender washers, and nuts.
The legs are tightened onto the lower plank, with threaded rod protruding out the top. The upper plank has blind holes bored into the under side to index onto the protruding rod.
If your going to make "furniture" out of local green wood, a few things to do. Get the bark off ASAP, easily peels off with a putty knife. Then seal the end grain with wood glue and dry it for at least a couple months or more. It will split and twist if the end grain isn't sealed.
