December 2012 http://classicrock.about.com/od/NewReleaseCalendar/tp/Quick-Takes-On-Recent-Classic-Rock-Cd- Dvd-Releases.htm Quick takes on recent classic rock CD, DVDreleases Quick, before the old year passes uring the five years (1963-68) that the first edition of The Yardbirds existed, they earned a spot in classic rock immortality by having employed three musicians who would ultimately be recognized as three of the greatest rock guitarists of all time: Eric Clapton , Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page . The band also broke new ground in the nascent psychedelic rock genre, and introduced a number of electric guitar tricks and techniques that were unique then, commonplace now. In 1995 two of the band's founding members, drummer Jim McCarty and rhythm guitarist/bassist Chris Dreja brought the band to life once again, almost 25 years after the original group disbanded. The new version of the band released a studio album of new music in 2003, and they have toured extensively -- enough to have also produced five live albums. The latest, Making Tracks is a two-disc collection culled from various live gigs, and a film documenting the tour. Make no mistake, The Yardbirds are not a "greatest hits" band. Although their set lists contain songs that the original band are best known for, like "Heart Full of Soul," "For Your Love," "I'm a Man" and "Train Kept Rollin'", their performances also sample their modern-era material. In either case, this incarnation of The Yardbirds hasn't strayed from the unique mix of hard rock, psych rock and good old 12-bar blues that the original band perfected. Making Tracks is available on DVD..

In the Studio: the Role of Recording Techniques in Rock Music (2006)
21 In the Studio: The Role of Recording Techniques in Rock Music (2006) John Covach I want this record to be perfect. Meticulously perfect. Steely Dan-perfect. -Dave Grohl, commencing work on the Foo Fighters 2002 record One by One When we speak of popular music, we should speak not of songs but rather; of recordings, which are created in the studio by musicians, engineers and producers who aim not only to capture good performances, but more, to create aesthetic objects. (Zak 200 I, xvi-xvii) In this "interlude" Jon Covach, Professor of Music at the Eastman School of Music, provides a clear introduction to the basic elements of recorded sound: ambience, which includes reverb and echo; equalization; and stereo placement He also describes a particularly useful means of visualizing and analyzing recordings. The student might begin by becoming sensitive to the three dimensions of height (frequency range), width (stereo placement) and depth (ambience), and from there go on to con sider other special effects. One way to analyze the music, then, is to work backward from the final product, to listen carefully and imagine how it was created by the engineer and producer. To illustrate this process, Covach provides analyses .of two songs created by famous producers in different eras: Steely Dan's "Josie" and Phil Spector's "Da Doo Ron Ron:' Records, tapes, and CDs are central to the history of rock music, and since the mid 1990s, digital downloading and file sharing have also become significant factors in how music gets from the artists to listeners. Live performance is also important, and some groups-such as the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers Band, and more recently Phish and Widespread Panic-have been more oriented toward performances that change from night to night than with authoritative versions of tunes that are produced in a recording studio.

3 Maggio 1967. Michelangelo Antonioni Presenta Al Festival Di Cannes Il Film Blow Up
3 maggio 1967. Michelangelo Antonioni presenta al Festival di Cannes il film Blow up. Ritratto pop della Swinging London di metà anni Sessanta e contemporaneamente un inquieto filosofico interrogativo sull’esistenza e la percezione del reale. Ammaliante e avvincente trama e straniante successioni di racconti, contenuti l’uno nell’altro. A osservarli si allargano e comprendono sempre più invisibili tracce, tracciabili indizi di altre storie, apparenze, simulazioni e spettacolarizzazioni del reale, sino a perdersi senza arrendersi. “Noi sappiamo che sotto l’immagine rivelata ce n’è un’altra più fedele alla realtà, e sotto quest’altra un’altra ancora, e di nuovo un’altra sotto quest’ultima. Fino alla vera immagine di quella realtà, assoluta, misteriosa che nessuno vedrà mai. O forse sino alla scomposizione di qualsiasi immagine, di qualsiasi realtà. Il cinema astratto avrebbe dunque una sua ragione di essere”. Michelangelo Antonioni Siamo a Londra giusto a metà del decennio più creativo della città a cui guardano tutti, coi giovani attratti dai venti di cambiamento e dalla nuova musica, dalla moda innovativa e creativa, e da nuovi comportamenti più liberi e aperti. Ed è anche la Londra che su questa attrazione muove soldi e affari, che concepisce la novità come investimento economico e sfruttamento commerciale. Thomas, interpretato da David Hemmings, è un fotografo di moda che sta dentro questa contraddizione. Annoiato dalla ripetitività del lavoro e dalla città «Non ne posso più di Londra, questa settimana», dice a un certo punto, perché «Non fa niente per me». Vorrebbe essere più ricco per non dover accettare di lavorare alle pur ricche condizioni che gli vengono proposte per campagne pubblicitarie e riviste di moda.

Led Zeppelin
For Linda, Evie, Mollie and Michael – always. Author’s Note While I have been fortunate over the years to have enjoyed the company of various ex-members and/or former employees of Led Zeppelin, it should be born in mind at all times that this is an unauthorised biography, written objectively and with no undue pressure from any outside influence to do anything other than tell the story as I honestly see it. It should also be clearly understood that the italicised ‘flashback’ passages of the text are not the actual words of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones and Peter Grant, nor are they actual quotes. Whilst they are all based on thorough biographical research, the facts of which can be found in the Notes & Sources section at the end of this book, the words themselves are the product of my imagination.

The British Invasion: Finding Traction in America by Piacentino Vona A
The British Invasion: Finding Traction in America by Piacentino Vona A thesis presented to the University Of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 © Piacentino Vona 2018 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract As a period of American History, the 1960s has provided historians and academics with a wealth of material for research and scholarship. Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard Nixon, the Vietnam War, the hippie era, and the Civil Rights Movement, among other topics have received thorough historical discussion and debate. Music was another key aspect in understanding the social history of the 1960s. But unlike the people and events mentioned above, historians have devoted less attention to music in the historical landscape. The British Invasion was one such key event that impacted America in the 1960s. Bands such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Who found their way into the United States and majorly impacted American society. Using secondary sources, newspaper articles, interviews and documentaries on these bands, this thesis explores the British Invasion and its influence in the context of 1960s America. This thesis explores multiple bands that came in the initial wave. It follows these bands from 1964-1969, and argues that the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Who shared common multiple factors that allowed them to attain the traction to succeed and to maintain that success in the United States.
