Osage Tribe - 1972 Arrow head - 04 Soffici bianchi veli "Old Osage songs.."
A formidable band in the style of Il rovescio della medaglia during hard rock blues jam moments. Among them was also a very young wise Battiato (see the hit single "Un falco nel cielo").

Pink Floyd Live in Pompeii Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun Which version is better, Pompeiana or Ummagummiana? This is the Pompeiana, perhaps the one with the most pathos.

The Doors - I Can't See Your Face In My Mind
"Jim Morrison & The Doors on the road" (18)
Touching and fascinating with Morrison's voice sad like few other times. The arrangement is emblematic of the Doors sound: strange yet perfect, undoubtedly unique and recognizable.
They were happy with this album, always Jim's favorite, convinced it would be their forever-remembered record. I am particularly attached to this song; a dear friend used to sing it often.
"I can't find the right lie"...

The Doors - People are Strange
"Jim Morrison & the Doors on the road" (16)
A beautiful and distressing story. Jim was already under pressure during the recording of this second album. One afternoon, he went to Densmore and Krieger's house particularly depressed and agitated, to the point of telling the guitarist "that it was no longer worth continuing this awful thing." Robby, shocked, spent hours convincing him otherwise and especially telling him not to do anything drastic like threatening (source: Krieger). Morrison calmed down a bit and said, "I'm going for a walk up into the hills" (Hollywood Hills). The next morning, when he returned, he told Robby that he had seen a beautiful sunrise and landscape, and that on his way back he had composed a song which he sang to the guitarist about how strange and difficult it is to live in a world where one feels like a stranger.

Genesis - Lilywhite Lilith This and "Fly on the windshield" share the same magnificent theme, the "tata tatà." Here, however, the Who's more "Next" vibe blends with everything Gabriel will explore up to "On the air."

King Crimson - Sailors Tale (OFFICIAL)

As far as I'm concerned, “Islands,” although it's hard to rank them, “Sailor's Tale” is my favorite.

Selective but not sectarian, since ’69 I've grown up on a diet of King Crimson, then also in ’76 for a few years when I'd take my bag of prog records and more to play on one of the first free radios of the time, and today I still love them, at least those from the early years, along with a lot of other music I would say across the board.

If we want to frame “Lizard” and also “Islands” musically, except for the title track of the first, they can no longer be considered prog albums; we need to talk about “total” music or “fusion,” but not in the way it was understood later; we should then make a separate discussion for “Lady of the Road” which, as beautiful as it is for Fripp's guitar, feels out of place on that album, because it was perhaps intended for release as a 45 RPM single, although we would need to verify if it was published.
