Off topic to say that I have always found it funny that in the album "Tago Mago" by Can, released in the same year, at the beginning of "Oh Yeah" there is the exact same thunderstorm with thunder & lightning that breaks out in the middle of "Meadow Meal" on this Faust album...

I raise my hand and put one up, Zappa never mangled instruments but always preferred the perfect arrangement, the virtuosic guitar even within disruptive composition and not the muriatic acid that, for example, Captain Beefheart poured, and indeed their partnership didn’t last. These disturb, they are annoying, Zappa is not. That the mustached one influenced them is beyond doubt, and why not also the Velvet Underground (see how "Miss Fortune" ends)? Essential for an industrial-anguishing music like krautrock. Zappa is neither anguishing nor industrial. Four and a half.

@blech... if you trust me, forget about this and get the live at the Queen Elizabeth Hall "Dream Letter: Live in London 1968". You’ll find all the most magical and inspired Buckley there. With this "Live at the Troubadour," Buckley is already beyond the danger level of drugs, and it affects the album with its highs and lows. The instrumental "Venice Mating Call" is a jumble; if you listen to Buckley presenting it as "Give Smack a Chance," you understand everything. Even the other unreleased tracks lose the magic of that Buckley à la Fred Neil that personally enchants me. I can still hear it in other pieces of this album, "Blue Melody" or "Driftin."

Well, I've listened to the album and I confirm what I said: today, if you want freshness in blues and you're not looking for it in alternative bands like Left Lane Cruiser, at least listen to some authentic old lions of the blues like BB King or Buddy Guy, who have recently released great albums. The sociocultural degradation you're talking about might be the fact that in Italy, such types wouldn't fill stadiums like Clapton. But it's also right that it is this way ;-)

In my opinion, the problem lies in the fact that those who say that Billy Joel was underrated in Italy maybe weren’t born yet or were still sucking on their mother's breast during the time of the hit "Honesty" (which sold more than stuff like "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" by Michael Jackson or "The Logical Song" by Supertramp). Not to mention the constant airing of videos like "Uptown Girl" featuring the hot model that this little guy married; I believe she was the same one Bruce Springsteen had used for his video "I'm on Fire." Essentially, I think Billy Joel was evaluated just fine in Italy. The fact that today he interests only a few should actually lead to a reflection on how he was overvalued back then ;-)

Well, personally I think if you want to feel a bit of freshness in the blues, I believe that today Clapton is the last person to turn to... and if you want to listen to some proper blues with this pairing, I think it’s better to invest half of what you'd need to buy this record by purchasing the deluxe reissue of the "London Sessions" by Howlin Wolf from 1970, featuring Clapton on guitar, Winwood on keyboards, and the rolling-stone duo Wynman/Watts on the rhythm section. A professional record, and in my opinion, just being professional isn’t enough to deserve five...

In greeting the distinguished attendees, I would like to add that personally, I am not fond of the jazz-rock-fusion direction taken by the Canterbury sound with the late Soft Machine and the talented National Health. I remain tied to the whimsical antics of Daevid Allen, Robert Wyatt, and Kevin Ayers, who perhaps after this album completely departs from Canterbury to dedicate himself to the strange ballads of "Whatever...", "Bananamour", and the ambitious concept album "The Confession of Mr. Dream." Speaking of eccentric groups, linked to the space rock/Gong example and more Canterbury/Caravan, I would like to point out those off-key ones, Here&Now (Keith Missile, Kif Kif, Gavin da Blitz) and their albums "Give & Take" and "All Over the Show."

Indeed. The same "Hobo" recalls the great "Ride in the Sky" from their first hard rock album. Certainly, Led Zeppelin should be the last to complain about plagiarism...
