Just seeing what you all have planned for any summer listening since that season is coming up soon. I like to make certain mix cd's , playlist, new music, and etc for this time of year. Sometimes a theme is in order for a few.
Interested to hear yours's and get some ideas!
Possibly to do the following Not sure I will make it to all, but we shall see!
Of course, I try and do one on the ABB every summer. Live era Chuck and Lamar. Also a Dickey solo era live.
Robert Plant solo live material
Xavier Rudd
Mellencamp deep cuts(non hits) 80's.
Stephen Stills-Acoustic
Tommy Bolin- acoustic and a mix of Energy and Zephyr
Start looking into some Chrissie Hynde solo, guest appearances, deep album cuts Pretenders.
Neal Schon has a new one called "Journey Through Time" I am debating about. Waiting to get the new Rival Sons and Duane Betts. I have bought Leslie West's debut solo , Jack Bruce and Robin Trower's early collaboration, and the stuff form a few years ago, Seven Moons and the live tour of that.
Bad Company is a band that FM radio killed for me. I was thinking about doing deep album mix from they're catalog.
Thinking about doing a live Stones deep cuts, non hits. Not sure if I will keep it "70's" or entire career.
Maybe a Keith Richards Stones era where he is doing the vocals
I have a few usual ones that are my "gotos".
Steve Earle Mix
Ron Barany-Celtic Soul(acoustic Irish folk)
Bob Dylan-mix from 1993-Now
Bob Dylan-Nashville Skyline
Mississippi Sheiks
ZZ Top-Mix of the first three releases-all songs.
Keith Richards solo
Johnny Cash- The American Recordings -all Volumes and My Mothers Hymn Book
Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
No Roger Waters for me this summer.
Berlin police are deciding whether to arrest Roger for appearing in concert in Berlin the other night dressed as a Nazi officer.
That is a no no in my book.

Watched Journey thru Time concert on You Tube. A lot of fun and a tight band. The great Gregg Rollie is in it and it’s neat to hear him on his Journey stuff as well as the Santana stuff that he and Neil were part of.
Anything live ABB with Chuck and Lamar is always of interest to me.
@masbama More and more people are interested in the Chuck/Lamar line up. That is good news for the 50th anniversary of Brothers and Sisters and Alan's new book. That lineup was so different and jazzy. It was how they moved forward after loosing Duane Allman then Berry Oakley without adding a replacement for Duane which Gregg and Butch were especially against.
You've probably heard this before. Right after Gregg's organ solo, Chuck Leavell plays a long solo which is among the BEST jazz piano solos I've heard. Dave Brubeck couldn't have done better.
I am on a classic lineup Yes jag right now. I ripped all 7 concerts from the amazing Progeny 7 from 1972 box set and a bunch of bootlegs to my phone for streaming.
Those 1970's Yes band released some amazing albums and I was lucky enough to have seen them back in 1972 at Dillon Stagium in New Haven, CT.
I am sure I will get back to listening to ABB and Govt Mule this summer but right now it is Yes all the time.

Chuck is incredible. Found that era of the band playing Hot ‘lanta. Chuck fits right in with that song. Wonder why they didn’t play it more.

Good call on the Yes stuff. I do have it, but its been awhile since I played it.
Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
Jason Isbell-Weathervanes
DBT-Dirty South expanded
Duane Betts is a definite yes
Carolyn Wonderland-Tempting Fate
One Day Closer to Home-William Bell
Angels in Science Fiction-St. Paul and the Broken Bones
Boygenius-The Record
I'm going to play the four jazz albums I have with the late, great bass player Joe Mondragon on them.
This is about all I could find on video of Joe. Watch him go go on a little bass solo just after the piano solo. It's from 1959 and the Lenny Bruce show.
Southern Avenue is pretty good
WILSON PICKET this morning. Got to meet him in 1968. Rode over to a new Holiday Inn on Interstate 81 he and his band was booked into in his personal car but Wilson sat in the back seat.
Funny thing thinking back is just five years earlier, 1963, African Americans couldn't stay at that and most hotels and motels in Virginia.
Buddy leaving John Bonham and Keith Moon in the dust!!!
No just kidding but he does get his arms moving on that snare in this short clip.

A majority of my summer listening usually consists of live Allman Brothers Band, live Dead and CSN and sometimes Y.
