Rediscovered Gems

[Spudman]

I was on you tube checking out two of my favorite guitarists, Pat Travers and Pat Thrall when I ran across this little gem - Automatic Man (Michael Shrieve - Santana, Pat Thrall - Pat Travers, Hughes Thrall). I had forgotten it existed and that I still have the album (big black vinyl thing with grooves) that I almost wore out a couple of decades ago. So I started listening to all the Automatic Man I could find on You Tube. What gems.

What rare gems can you find?

A great piece of late-70's blue-eyed soul, a one-hit wonder record done at Muscle Shoals, AL....the tasty-sweet guitar & sax intro, hook-riffs & solo have always been fave's of mine...

Spirit...sprang from the late 60's underground... these concert vids of their 2 mainstream radio hits are well after their 'prime time', but still fueled by Randy 'California', as he was dubbed by Hendrix, so his legend goes... the 'embedding disabled by request', but here's links:

With original drummer, Ed 'Mr. Skin' Cassady...
It's Nature's Way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kknbg7xquQ)
a few years later...

Natures Way is a GREAT song. Spirit was a really good band.

I was working down in Columbus back in the early 70's and happened to be strolling down the street near Ohio State when I heard some music. Of course there were many clubs on the street so initially the exact source was difficult to tell, so I walked as the music grew louder.

As I finally came to the building where the music was obviously coming from, I just strolled in as if I was part of the people scurrying around. I had walked in on Spirit doing a rehearsal and sound check before that nights concert. I walked down the aisle and took a seat near the front (few people besides technicians were there). Finally after three or four songs, someone asked me what I was doing and I replied with something like "listening to the band". I guess that was a good enough answer because I was allowed to sit there until the band wrapped up.

We really got to enjoy some great music as it was actually happening. You listen to a lot of it and it's evident of the roots of the music and the influence it had on so many.

I guess it still happens that way, but I have lost touch with much of the new music as a result of the way it is distributed.

Maybe from this point on everyone can just post links with a description so the thread doesn't take minutes to load? Otherwise it's going to get too resource hogish and will have to be closed.

Besides are these really gems or just tunes you like? Most of them are pretty popular/mainstream.

I deleted my last 2 resource hogs, Spud. Sorry.

Why don't you leave the links? They are cool songs after all.

Saw this coming early on, thought maybe there would be a forum addition built as a result of the responses.

Yes

I played the heck out of this collaboration, mine had a different album color. I rediscovered it in my albums recently. I would consider it rare at this point. A collab with George Benson, Tom Browne, Wynton Marsalis, Dave Valentin, Eric Gale, Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, Ronnie Foster, Ndugu, Sammy Figueroa, Manolo Badrena. Wynton Marsalis playing fusion is pretty interesting!

Wow! It Bites - Kiss Like Judas. Why these guys never became mega stars is beyond me.
