RFI: Pretty Things

Christ, Dick Taylor's playing on "Why" is in the same league with Steve Howe's playing on Tomorrow's version.

are you referring to live hyde park '68 or live in amsterdam '69 ? haven't heard either, those recordings are hard to come by, or perhaps you're referring to something else

"mediocre before 67" is a weird take for a band that gave us "rosalyn" in 19 fucking 64

it was linked on the sidebar of the "reincarnation" vid. so the pretty things never recorded "reincarnation"? that's a shame, it's a good number!

Wally Waller was one of their secret weapons during 67-70. his songwriting and husky voice are great. Sounds somewhat like David Gilmour.

Oh no! RIP Phil, such a cool frontman.

aw hell, RIP Phil May

Ah damn. I was really looking forward to this new acoustic project that Mark St. John talked about in the regular PT column in Ugly Things -- but very glad they were able to do the Final Bow shows.

Talented man, great band.
The man with the thousand voices.

Aw shit

I think they were the best 60s-era band I’ve ever seen live - small club, didn’t take anything for granted, worked hard to put on a brilliant show

much as I love Dick Taylor I think the era when he stepped away from the band is my favourite? Parachute rules, and October 26 is just a brilliant brilliant single, what a vocal and what a vocalist

RIP

midnight to eternity man
