Hope everybody's Independence Day weekend went swimmingly (perhaps literally), and the summah sweltah didn't weight too heavily on you. Admittedly, there was some intermittent shelter sought in the cool basement of the Buttsteak manse, but it's summer, after all.
Not much text needed for these posts from last year's Stackpole-Keating band camp. Both songs come from 1970, and both feature the remote bass-playing contributions of The One and Only 'Dillo.
"Isn't It a Pity" came off of George Harrison's sprawling, world-stunning post-Beatles triumph, "All Things Must Pass". This was another milestone rekkid that featured all those usual musical suspects of the time (talked about in detail a couple posts back), and we were again shooting for that loosey-goosey, barnstorming feel that we love so much.
"Hey Hey, What Can I Do" didn't make it onto "Led Zeppelin III", and remains one of the greatest non-LP cuts of the rock era, along with the Beatles' "Paperback Writer" b/w "Rain" single. It provided good cover for me to bust out the acoustical instruments and try and hybridize them to the rock. Robert Plant I am not.
