Well just got the cd. Blooming linernotes are a bit on the nonexistent side aren't they?

Heard a tidbit of the middle-part jam from Ramble Tamble as transition music on my NPR station today and it made my day

Where is the love for that song? It's easily one of my favorite CCR songs for a number of reasons but primarily because there is a monster jam hidden inside the primary song framework. It's like going on a tiny trip to Cosmo's Factory and then being safely delivered home at the end. Good lyrics too.

i am surprised about the rather mediocre performance of effigy (#14) in that poll. my ccr island song towering far above the rest. somehow i missed the poll.

That track listing screams "cassette-only, sold for $3 at truck stops."

that's pretty much the only album that should be sold at truck stops

There was a CCR truckstop comps called Hot Sauce or something, definitely had a bottle of hot sauce on the cover. All rockers.

Fogerty thanked the rock critic and then pulled out a plastic-bagged flannel shirt identical to the one he was wearing. "Here," he said, "have one of my 'Fortunate Son' shirts."

I don't know, I could go for some "Lodi" underpants.

one of the many records i listened to last year was a record called "outlaw overtones" by a band called "ramble tamble" who, yes, i just listened to because any band named "ramble tamble" couldn't possibly be all bad.

and i do like it! good lo-fi jams, not much in the way of choogle though.

^^^ I see what you did there...

A video popped up on my Facebook yesterday with John telling his Woodstock story about playing after the Dead. Dead dropped acid before they went on, and then there were rain and PA delays, which must have been a huge cluster... A bunch of Deadheads were commenting and calling John a whiner, saying the Dead's legacy is so much greater than CCR's. I dunno, I don't have a punchline to this story, I just know which band I'd rather listen to.

confusementalism (Dan Peterson), Thursday, 29 August 2019 14:34 (four years ago) link

I think I saw that Ramble Tamble band live several years ago

Vape Store (crüt), Thursday, 29 August 2019 14:49 (four years ago) link

they're pretty good — but the band name is perhaps a little misleading, haha.

The thing is, the Dead themselves admitted they sucked at Woodstock, and most Deadheads (I almost used the phrase "discerning Deadheads," but thought better of it) don't rate that performance highly at all. I don't think it was any kind of holy grail for, or otherwise coveted by, tape traders.

The absolute worst thing about the Grateful Dead is their legacy. And I say that as a fan.

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 29 August 2019 19:28 (four years ago) link

Thanks. Curious what exactly you mean by “legacy” here.

The Fearless Thread Killers (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 29 August 2019 19:43 (four years ago) link

I assume maybe you mean the huge body of recordings.

The Fearless Thread Killers (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 29 August 2019 19:44 (four years ago) link

I meant their legacy as it's manifested itself in innumerable "jam" bands and the cultures that surround most of them.

pplains, Thursday, 29 August 2019 20:08 (four years ago) link

The Dead certainly have a larger, longer "legacy" of touring for decades, people travelling for multiple runs of shows, trading tapes... the whole Dead gestalt is a unique thing. I haven't heard the new CCR Woodstock recording yet, but they seem like a pretty fine-tuned machine, driven by a very exacting taskmaster, whereas the Dead were the complete antithesis of that: a bunch of hippies who would gobble acid before going out to play in front of half a million people. There's a great story of the whole Dead debacle I was just reading here:
