First - Aerosmith, 1978 Draw the Line tour, I was 14. I was sober, they were wasted.

Best - Hard to say, like jerome, I have been to hundreds of shows, seen great concerts at arenas, but I really appreciate the closeness found at small venues. There used to be a small jazz club near my home that I would frequent regularly when I was in my 20's - quiet background music during dinner hour - then from 11:00 or so till close, they would crank up the tunes - I heard many great artists there. 

Hard to say what was the best concert - kind of funny though, I saw Aerosmith again (for about the 6th time) just a few years ago - I was wasted - they were sober!

I snapped the G on a brand new set of Polywebs Saturday night - lasted less than an hour. Elixer has a good replacement policy, and recently sent me a whole set of Nanos after a similar situation (There was a thread here about it).  However, in my totally unscientific trial and error experiment, Elixer has failed miserably. I have played maybe a dozen or so other brands / types without these breakage problems. I have had sets of Elixers last, and yea, when they don't snap, they last longer (sound good longer) than most others, but I don't need the added hassle of replacing broken strings. I'll continue my pursuit of the perfect string, but Elixer is officially out of the running.

Flashbak, I just checked out several versions of Secret Agent Man and the "Songbook: ADD" link is there on all of them. Are you trying to add something from your songbook page, or are you on the page of the song itself?

The songbook / add link is located on the individual song page, just below the rating (on the right hand side). If that link is missing, I suggest you take a screenshot and send it to admin.

Hi windrat - Look on any song page, on the right side, next to the print button is the auto-scroll button.

Great story SouthPaw - I am traveling those same roads weekly - through the tunnels of VA into what is very rural WV for my new job (a large federal prison in Welch, WV). Those twisty mountain roads are just perfect for a bike trip.

I have a bit of a bike story myself - In the original "gas crisis" (late 70's), my Mom purchased a Honda CB125 - the smallest "street" bike made. Our family car was a station wagon, but she drove her bike to work and school daily, year round - she looked like the Michelin Man in her snow suit, but it got 100 miles to the gallon - such a deal! Anyway, I used that bike in my college years because car parking on campus was so difficult, but there were always abundant spaces for motorcycles - I looked silly (I'm 6'-4") on that small bike, but it worked great. During this same time frame, my car must have been is the shop, and my buddy must have been having similar car problems. So for a few days, we had to share a ride on my (or my mom's really -  old bike) - One day on the way to work, pulling out from a stop sign - I left him on his butt in the middle of a very busy road while I was chasing my "wheelie" down the street - lesson learned (2) guys pushing 200 pounds each should not get on the back of a CB125 - if you do - take off slooooowly. LOL

Great tune as usual James. Thanks for sharing.

Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus - 2 of the best golfers ever. Natural talent? Sure there was a ton of that - Was the talent in their swing or in their drive to succeed? Ben was known to hit balls 'till his hands bled, Jack said he hit over 1,000 balls on the range every day!

Hard work breeds talent. Very few individuals are born with it.

one word: CLAPTON

Great topic and a great list by geo. I can't argue with any of the names listed. It's difficult to leave out great names like Hendrix, The Stones, and many more. I find it interesting to make equations out of the list.

Examples:
Beatles + Cream = Zeppelin
Zepplin + Hendrix = Van Halen
Zepplin + Neil Young (or dylan maybe) = Nirvana

I'm not at all comparing the talent of the artists, just thinking about their "sounds". There are many, such as Floyd, who were great in their own way, but do not define a decade in the way those listed do.

In my mind what makes a band GREAT is defining their own SOUND - you can identify a song by it's uniqueness, nobody else sounds the same. These bands all had that. Not many today do

This thread should be great.
