Considering the state of the world right now, we need a moment to chill.
This has only been up on YT for about a month. It may very well be the best live Beatles tape I've come across, both in quality of audio and in terms of performance.

Is it possible to push against a mighty foe and win? That is what members of the Modoc tried to determine in the winter of 1872 as Indian Bureau agents tried to force their relocation. Tune in this week as I dive into the Modoc War.

Them's last recording with Van Morrison. Recorded in 1966, Van left shortly thereafter. Initially, only released in Ireland and Holland, the Dutch EP came with scrumptious liner notes.

A band from Cornwall The Onyx released You've Gotta Be With Me in 1968. This is excellent Hollies style power pop.

I wanted to tip my cap to Brian Wilson with something that hasn't been played to death. Fire was cut during the Smile sessions in late 1966. It is a striking and weird piece of music.

Peter Green's singing and playing are both gorgeous on Need Your Love So Bad, from the Spring of 1968. This clip is from a BBC appearance. The strings add just the right touch of psychedelia to this old blues chestnut. youtu.be/RtmW2ek7WkQ?...

By 1966, Van Morrison's writing was taking a more observant tack. Mighty Like A Rose seems to have been recorded in the Spring of 1966, a song about a free spirited young woman. It is one of the last things Van recorded with the band before going solo. youtu.be/e6mGc3B-NbE?...

The Syn were a Mod/Psych band. Chris Squire, later of Yes, was a member. Despite being popular in the London clubs, none of their 45s took off, which is a shame as they were all rather good. Grounded is from the Spring of 1967. youtu.be/lXDUz_wJo70?...

A mild flirtation with psychedelia, The Everly Brothers recorded Your Just What I Was Looking For Today as a possible single in 1967. Phil really liked it, but Warners consigned it to the vaults for 30 years. It eventually appeared on several compilations in the 1990s. youtu.be/tZdYMQh-n0k?...
