2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame


I am going to write this later but it is ironic that I viewed the 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Performances of whomever is left in Classic Rock Bands. I did not see the whole show, but I saw and listened to excellent musical performances by Roxy Music with Bryan Ferry who has always been really good and still is and the band was fabulous. I will view  and listen seriously to Roxy Music and the Zombies  again.

 









Both bands are bands whose style and connotation I have tried to emulate in my writing and with arrangement. The mood setting in both bands is transcendent.


The entire program is probably available in my on demand inventory, I will have to watch for the performances I did not see. Def Lepard was a dud, the instrumental performances  were short, weak and mechanical, the singers flat.

postscript: I did not yet get to write any more, I have a feeling I will not get to it.


LIVE ROCK DISAPPOINTMENT

BILL MAHR AND "MOBY" WERE CONVERSING  ON "REAL TIME" FRIDAY EVENING.  DISAPPOINTED! 

I am not sure how highly you rate the judgement of Bill Mahr or of Moby. I would have been very pleased and satisfied to succeed as Bill Mahr has and he does have to keep up on what is new and groovy. Moby, I gather, is a writer, singer, musician and production manager, so I would think he has some credibility as a result of this.


Moby spoke of how he installed his new streaming service expecting to be mindblown at the new music. It did not happen. He was disappointed. 


WHEN I CONCEIVED THE "LIVE ROCK CRITIC" BLOG,  I THOUGHT THAT NEW EXCELLENT MUSIC WOULD BE SHOWCASED ON THE NEW SUPER SOUND HI-DEF TV. 

I THOUGHT THAT: I WILL WRITE CRITIQUES ABOUT LIVE ROCK PERFORMANCES AND POINT THE WAY TOWARDS EXCELLENT TRANSCENDENT LISTENING. 


IN SEVENTY POSTS YOU CAN READ HOW I WAS MOSTLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE NEW MUSIC, COINCIDENTALLY BILL MAHR SAID HE IS TOO.
