The opening of the Pistols’ "Holidays in the Sun"
Husker Du’s "Eight Miles High"
When Coltrane hits that extended, hair-raising note in "Transition" and keeps it going longer than anyone in their right mind would wish he would
Side 4 of Miles Davis’ "Pangaea," when he sits it out and lets the band show him what he’s taught them about space, rhythm, texture, economy and creepy groove. Dark Magus indeed.
The first track on Augustus Pablo’s "King Tubby’s Meets Rockers Uptown," the Alpha and Omega of dub
J’s solo in "The Lung"
The guitar solo/second half of Butthole Surfers’ "I Saw an X-Ray of a Girl Passing Gas" — unparalleled LSD madness
Los Lobos’ "Life Is Good" — weed, anyone?
On "Brown Shoes Don’t Make It," when Zappa says: "She’s a teenage baby and she turns me on, I wanna make her do the nasty on the whitehouse lawn."
*The guitar solo in Thumb is a definate favorite
*Ace frehleys guiatr solo in concert with the fireworks and all.
*The intro to Caught Between by the Screaming Trees, sounds great and its a good lesson on Arpeggios.Man I know theres more I’ll have to think about it and come back.
Cool thread!

Nice picks man
when Mould screams towards the end Eight Miles High it`s like everything that pisses him off in the world is coming out of him.
I have Trane`s Transition on the box set(Classic Quartet);I need to go listen to that.There`s a version Of Naima from France in 1965 that just kills me.He goes into some of the most beautiful sax noise…
Miles` Agharta and Pangaea are like Miles` last stand.I love those albums.The songs just go on forever and what a killer band he had.Pete Cosey`s guitars solos are amazing.The Lung guitar solo might be my most fave guitar solo ever.It`s certainly my fave J solo.

You’re Living All Over Me accomplishes the best wah sound i’ve ever heard. no one does it better. i really shouldn’t add any Dinosaur stuff on this list because there is so much.– kim shouting "i wanna know!" on ‘cross the breeze’ by sonic youth
– the roaring guitar sound in ‘i only said’ by my bloody valentine
– when the drums kick in on bardo pond’s ‘limerick’
– guitar solo on ‘sometimes i forget’ by seam

– the outro to ‘the diamond sea’ by sonic youth. noise, chaosGreat picks as well.GBV have so many great moments.Big Boring Wedding was a reworking of an earlier tune that I forget the name of.
So many magic moments w/music right, hard to narrow down, but I do remember a point of realizing that
music (through harmony/sound/words/etc) is, can be, a vehicle for prayer and magic. Then to catch musicians working magic or prayer through their music, most often, I am not sure if they are always aware or not………………like Jesus said not me but through me the words come……………….Thanks again to freakscene for the youtube spot, now I can show my children things I thought I would never see again,
I remember seeing Marvin Gaye as a child and saying to myself, he is praying and putting prayers into the heads of people, even sexual healing, is a prayer……………if you have time check this out, this guy is
praying and putting words into people hearts, the sad thing is, still today we are left thinking "What’s going on man…………………….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9KC7uhMY9s&search=marvin%20gaye Y9KC7uhM … vin%20gaye

He was supposed to play on a crazy d-n-b album Laswell organized last year, but Cosey’s contribution never came through. I’m sure Laswell will keep trying to prod him back into action, so hopefully we’ll hear more from him while he’s still around. Have you seen any videos of Miles’ band from the ’73-’75 period? Cosey’s afro is as monstrous as the band’s sound. I’m kind of obsessive about ’70s Miles — perfect absinthe music.

No,have`nt seen any vids from that time.Maybe Youtube will have some someday.Cosey used to play with Muddy Waters in the late `60s.Chess records had a crazy idea of Muddy playing his standards in the style of Hendrix.Cosey was one of the guitarists.Electric Mud from 1968 or `69 is the album.

Yep. I’m a Laswell fanatic, and own probably somewhere near 150 of his albums. The guy’s amazing — he’s released 6 albums so far in 2006 (all good, and very different), with more on the way. I saw him a couple months back playing with a live d-n-b unit featuring Graham Haynes on coronet, an incredible drummer, two far-out programmers, Dr. Israel, and the guitarist from Blind Idiot God. It was perhaps the most sonically extreme performance I’ve witnessed. Awe-inspiring. Those who weren’t dancing were just standing there, stunned. I also saw him, Haynes, and Dr. Israel join Jah Wobble’s band back in Feb for about 45 minutes. Two bass gurus shaking the room like thunder merchants. It was beautiful.

Yeah, I’ve noticed stuff is just pouring into youtube, and I’ve seen stuff that I had seen before but
never thought I would see again, and then musicians that I have never seen play like Eva Cassidy and

Funny you mention Buddy Rich since we were talking about Miles` mid `70s recordings.One of the first Rich albums I had was Tuff Dude from 1974;it`s got Sonny Fortune on sax and flute who was playing with Miles on those albums we were talking about.
That Cream video was cool.Back in the day when Clapton was`nt boring his audiences
Come to think of it one magic moment for me was years ago watching a tribute to Bob Dylan Pay Per View, Ritchie Havens came out and did Just Like a Woman. It was brilliant, truly magical. It had a huge impact on me…. I love that song to this day (Ritchies Version of coarse).
I got stoned just from watching the "Cream", and what about Ginger Baker, in the future I think
science will prove that many drummers have some sort of chromosome gone astray.Sg, what are so many sax players named Sonny? We even have one here in Athens. Yeah, that Sax solo in
the Buddy Rich video, is great……………………………… (although, I don’t know who it is…………some other Sonny, I guess,)On a weird side note, that cream stuff is film that of course has been dumped but is it film that has faded into this sort of grey/black/red/orange/tan thing or does Ginger bakers shirt actually match the guitar as
well as the rest of the set? Very interesting color thing with old film. From 2:54 to 3:04 you get a perfect pan
from guitar to shirt.
