King言簡意賅而餘韻無窮的風格可說是大異其趣。彼此之間倒沒有所謂的高下，只能說是各自對藍調的詮釋互異，而兩人對於許多搖滾吉他手都有相當大的影響。之前看Rolling Stones的Shine a Light紀錄片，Buddy Guy和滾石同台表演翻唱Muddy Waters的Champagne &amp; Reefer；Buddy Guy一個人力壓Mick Jagger、Keith Richards、Ronnie Wood，搶盡全場風采，根本可說是把這幾個英國白人藍調copycat給電翻了！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;親臨現場看到Buddy本人彈琴，更是犀利！唱片裡面的Buddy和伴奏樂隊有時候聽起來太過乾淨而沒有稜角；現場那股生猛有力的勁道，連Buddy自己彈完一段技驚全場的solo之後，嘴角都會露出一絲滿意的竊笑。Setlist主要是芝加哥藍調老歌，如I just wanna make love to you、Hoochie coochie man，以及Buddy自己自己新專輯Skin Deep為主。偶爾也會來段重搖滾，如Jimi Hendrix的Voodoo Child和Cream的Sunchine of your love。比較意外的是opening night那天，Buddy竟然還玩了不少R&amp;B老歌。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;只要Buddy在家，週末總會到Legends坐坐。他本人極為親切，要求合影或簽名總是來者不拒；若是夠幸運，甚至可以看到Buddy上台和當天的表演者jam一段。有機會造訪芝加哥，不妨到Legends碰碰運氣，或許在吧台旁邊就可以看到這位藍調大師的身影。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heart-break-er.blogspot.com/feeds/965889963817199975/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/5371294210684397381/965889963817199975' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5371294210684397381/posts/default/965889963817199975'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5371294210684397381/posts/default/965889963817199975'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heart-break-er.blogspot.com/2009/01/sweet-home-chicago-buddy-mf-guy.html' title='Sweet Home Chicago: Buddy &quot;MF&quot;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Derek Trucks Band  April 08, 2009 at Park West, Chicago&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第一次看到Derek Trucks是在2007年Eric Clapton在Los Angeles Staples Center的演唱會。那天位置在二樓看台，距離舞台恐怕快要一百公尺，但這絲毫不減EC、Doyle Bramhall、Derek Trucks三人在舞台上那場guitar battle的熱度。EC的精湛表現並沒讓我失望；Doyle Bramhall大開大闔的風格也令人激賞；但是那天最令我心折的卻是EC身邊的Derek Trucks。&lt;span class=&quot;fullpost&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;那時候我對他一無所知，但那天他有如Duane Allman復生般彈起那些Derek and the Dominos歌曲的slide lick，著實震撼了全場。當年Derek才26歲，雖然已經是Rolling Stones票選的百大吉他手之一(#81，入選當時他才24歲，是最年輕的入選者)，但知名度還是有限。所有人在演唱會結束散場時討論的都是同一個問題，&quot;Who&#39;s that kid？&quot; 現在回想起Derek那天的表現，仍然會讓我背脊冷汗直流。而Derek Trucks從那時開始就成為了我心目中最佳吉他手之一。兩年之後，終於等到了他自己的樂團Derek Trucks Band (DTB)的演出，而且還是一連兩場。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Derek Trucks本人看起來極為低調，沒什麼華麗的演出服裝，只簡單穿了件襯衫搭配牛仔褲；而且和傳說中一樣極為沉默，整場演出除了介紹團員之外完全沒和觀眾說話，和觀眾的視線交會也不多。他通常閉上眼睛，完全沈浸在自己的世界之中。但是他的雙手在吉他上面所施展的魔法，卻能徹底的將台下所有觀眾催眠。Derek大多數時間都使用玻璃製的slide(吉他應該是Open E tuning)，右手不用pick僅用手指撥弦，雙手每個動作都看起來如此輕鬆自然，但在舞台底下三公尺遠的地方目擊這一切，只能說是不可思議。兩天表演的setlist均以新專輯Already Free內曲目為主搭配一些舊專輯曲目，第二天的Key to the Highway和Any Day兩首Derek &amp; the Dominos翻唱曲可說是兩天內的最高潮。除了藍調搖滾以外，不論是Jazz、Soul、World Music (Indian &amp; Africa)等各種風格，在他信手拈來，無一不是大師風範。在slide guitar幾乎已經成為失傳藝術的今天，能看到這樣的精湛演出怎麼能不令人興奮！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在DTB以外，Derek Trucks目前也是Allman Brothers Band (ABB)的吉他手。除了吉他的風格和功力相仿，他和Duane Allman兩人之間還有更為密切的關係。Derek Trucks是ABB的創始團員Butch Trucks的姪子，從小就聽著他們的唱片長大；甚至甚至連他的名字典故都是來自於Derek and the Dominos(他還有一個弟弟叫做Duane Trucks)！由Derek來代替Duane Allman可說是實至名歸，完全不做第二人想。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這兩天表演看完之後仍然覺得意猶未盡，期待九月初Allman Brothers Band再次造訪Chicago。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/PtneZ4-PnsHQYwBvm_B31A?feat=embedwebsite&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2dvWdT17bZ_CD8FC5ILcMlWUDz9aAPprFnwen-vmEgCa8ESBbWoL0BXTXup2T4ZrPhXodBPs90ADcayGPBqsEhYAyTbHm8Ho7Rbre47kpVoJU6FOKZgCoRBGMRQSjgVTha3od1bGVyVw3/s400/DSC05932.JPG&quot;

The master has won...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;從Mississippi Delta回來的路上，原本計畫順道去探訪幾位長眠於Chicago的藍調大師。可惜那天大雨不斷，只好作罷。隔天早上Chicago更是下了場大雪，不過下午開始天氣就放晴了，閒來無事趁著興致就專程再往西南郊區走一趟。&lt;span class=&quot;fullpost&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;首先到了Oakridge-Glen Oak Cemetery, Hillside探訪Howlin&#39; Wolf。不過事前沒料到的是這個墓園範圍實在大的驚人，沒有進一步的詳細資訊，要在幾千幾萬個墓碑之中找到Howlin&#39; Wolf (Chester Burnett)根本不可能。只好暫時放棄，下次做足功課之後再來。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muddy Waters我倒是比較有把握，除了知道地點在Restvale Cemetery, Alpin，也知道墓園中大概的相對位置。從Hillside往南花了半小時左右開到Alpin，這次並沒有花太多時間就在墓園辦公室建築旁邊某顆樹下找到了Muddy Waters伉儷的墓碑。早上下的大雪這時還沒完全融化，順手拿了車上工具簡單清掃一下，能為大師伉儷掃雪也算是我的榮幸。掃完雪之後，墓碑上還有一些泥濘的融化雪水，本來也想順便清理乾淨；但轉念一想，大師既然綽號名為Muddy Waters，那就把這些泥水留著吧。回到車上放了Muddy Waters的音樂，再把帶來的鮮花放在墓碑上默禱一番，心裡面終於感到這次Highway 61旅行有了一個圓滿的句點。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;另一位大師Willie Dixon的墓園離Muddy Waters並不遠，開車十分鐘左右可到達。但是沒有詳細資訊恐怕也很難找到，留待下次一併探訪。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/f840DHiKwXBwx4mleb9o4g?feat=embedwebsite&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitQTtOiVd5GaiqYmy9twQUsQvFXTHI7KxMFVwCdnobb_cJJy_bgICg_z1Va727E8c8KfYlEEM8qiwKl_sVXDDXRrmNBekkskmRHFm6Libt0tHDnzkkFi3FECQWIIcslCUqPyqnqASr4VnK/s400/DSC05343.JPG&quot;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Highway 61 Blues Trail Sign，位於Highway 61上的Tunica Welcome Center。MS Blues Trail (http://www.msbluestrail.org)是大約五年前由密西西比州政府所推動的一個project，主要內容是在密西西比各處具有藍調音樂歷史意義的地點設牌，除了保存及推廣藍調文化之外，也希望能夠提振觀光事業。個人覺得這個project做得相當好，除了網站本身資訊相當豐富以外，牌子背面的文字圖片說明考據也十分用心。這次旅程中裡，去尋找各地的Blues Trail Sign就像是尋寶遊戲一般，十分有趣。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/xd1jfoN2JTORHifzSvZvYA?feat=embedwebsite&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhllpxyOs_uRvtTaL_HTjofUh0jjEaMo_LIRn7uyxq6Xlolq8eA6fCxjfn7-AD8pgb2f5aA2wNeXmy6mEJ_TYbRxsOwdIWNTvCa5Xx1yd12IKxd6FCoI8t_FQ9A7Y9mgGfDY_-jGE_dSvuT/s400/DSC05163.JPG&quot;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;位於Tunica北邊的Son House紀念牌。設立理由是因為Son House年輕時曾在此傳教，不過現在地上的教堂和商店等建築物都已被拆除，看起來只是荒蕪一片。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/pn6_pDgC3qc62XSY8-rjEA?feat=embedwebsite&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsAl-fNodqMtoaGMvmcdX_W77ZnfbJNIj-SRXSWxusw4mJ2vRvIxiKwQQ_TIpu1aZClJo2A5lg1o1aTNcScIaXBconLjK1UfkR3KsiMp_WiGy3LXdTdrICEMv11GRL2ZxulCBWp_GbRUsh/s400/DSC05171.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;傳奇賭徒Hardface Clanton紀念牌，設立於Tunica市中心。嚴格而言Hardface Clanton和藍調音樂其實並沒有太大關連，但他當初所經營的各類娛樂事業，是許多藍調大師們當年曾經表演過的地方。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/2yei6d-XA-UHuQdaV0O4Vg?feat=embedwebsite&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfLCA8paZggapJDcLqYE4jTUu4fb4WryrtTEamRVRVm0J35oA-t2SH-6US5_atqffXsBkrPcL88xR5zgEXl2R5pXsNPZ1cJv36Jp8TpxUtCEWcjyMLiEmjm8uzfu6sQS1nYBE1TRWRLtBF/s400/DSC05170.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Main St, Tunica, MS。Tunica市區規模不大，不過經過整頓後，街道看起來還算乾淨整齊。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/68imK_xNxk30JB8-S6kC7w?feat=embedwebsite&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9Wl1tFewX9HXJIiPCLoAcIt6TVhbFdD9pezXHCABD7tB2xw_k3q-qaZTNQcjgvU-3ptxxIL7saW2wDszFmltJce4clAp5PNBuhyphenhyphen5PuGF-sScJngZ6KLTsFt6HPJvhYXDdkagEL0sBU0q4/s400/DSC05173.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonnie Blue Plantation，藍調口琴大師James Cotton出生地。Blues Trail網站上已有資料，但所在地尚未未豎立紀念牌。Plantation實際位置在Highway 61與Bonnie Blue Rd交會口以東數哩處。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Ssr_C2C0XBdGpRYd1v_afA?feat=embedwebsite&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmQ5_CNRGOyaVMSqFxUoF8iVfpSGoHC4IrBjjTfaI-MsFLCRXxAKqGNEis1QlwcUYeZorks5Cpi1NvC06qau-Uu-elPsF70d_lNnawtlezFpISQvbuAIJtBuMl8f1QSKpeWZKZocl4RARS/s400/DSC05180.JPG&quot;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Highway 61 &amp; 49 Crossroads，位於Clarksdale市區外圍。無論這是不是當初Robert Johnson與魔鬼達成交易的十字路口，兩條傳奇藍調公路Highway 61與49的交會口仍然有其歷史意義。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/naXttDaUNDsiIApVQlm4Lg?feat=embedwebsite&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBwdD1m9a_y1qsosIJYeVKX9pIxWjYjqmD_SkE6GKYmoGtY3gezxq8ngB7c6O8A9uXWbm0AU3dWO5uK_dvi8ekdzFyLHbmm_KKCjyhyphenhyphenT5eDisQxO26SIZVAfDgVbCtrgnOGRypVWwUPPAX/s400/DSC05190.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Riverside Hotel, Clarksdale, MS，許多藍調大師當年旅行奔波之際都曾在此落腳。造就Riverside Hotel傳奇地位其中最重要的兩件事是Ike Turner在此寫了Rocket 88，以及Bessie Smith旅行至Clarksdale表演發生車禍後在此逝世。今日Riverside Hotel仍有營業，訂房時甚至可要求住進Bessie Smith當年逝世的二號房，不過這次旅程並沒有住進Riverside Hotel內。旅館本身相當破舊，週邊環境看起來也不甚佳。如果將來還有機會再次造訪Clarksdale，或許會考慮嘗試。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/20spGyuAARclcPSsr8cZvw?feat=embedwebsite&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXL2FSpXPf7QJkkPVBr2svHan66zlnssm5dHdwDKqeu7qDusc8jkqf8TNlfiXq7d0acdBj5WL7pN02F2dzTLOtKSxzqBPeHUM6yoDw1qJIFk3FD3K87UQD707O4O0c3ydSnUdFBS__BUXx/s400/DSC05196.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stovall Plantation，位於Clarksdale外圍。這是Muddy Waters人生前三十年所居住的地方，也是當年Alan Lomax進行Congress Library錄音的地點！當初Muddy Waters所住的木屋地點約在照片中Stovall Farm招牌右方遠處，木屋本身目前已被移至Clarksdale市中心內Delta Blues Museum內保存。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/T8_bJwpvF8vBOUaASbooiQ?feat=embedwebsite&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgclCHqsN9IdsZIofX5ljy2VfJj8qAKIiVOAJC-uSaOjjp5xDn11gyDIwzwXwKFb5do_n66mW0orD6JnulYLO0eE1Ow4iDZm8lH-HUcgAUkwV6QvazpA8xigGh6rmu4RtVpfsYVlL-FXzwW/s400/DSC05203.JPG&quot;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Delta Blues Museum, Clarksdale, MS。位於Clarksdale市中心的Delta Blues Museum可說是整個Mississippi Delta地區規模最大館藏也最豐富的博物館。而這個博物館能有今日的規模，很大一部分得感謝ZZ Top這個來自德州且深受Delta Blues影響的樂團。80年代中後期，ZZ Top來到Clarksdale參觀了Delta Blues Museum以及附近一些具有歷史意義的地點，其中就包含了Muddy Waters當年所著的木屋。那棟木屋在ZZ Top造訪前幾天遭龍捲風襲擊破壞，於是ZZ Top三人在地上撿了一片木板殘片，帶回Memphis加工成一把命名為&quot;Muddywood&quot;的電吉他。在ZZ Top的推動和Hard Rock Cafe的贊助下，這把Muddywood電吉他在世界各地的Hard Rock Cafe進行巡迴展覽募款。這個活動最後為Delta Blues Museum募得了一百萬美金！這可說是ZZ Top對於藍調音樂最了不起的回饋。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/7sXQPe8c42OARK8FcVwxxw?feat=embedwebsite&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRlRUbO1zKWqTLeOvGmccG3Fkvl9K1dzph62FcDFn6Yji8Dynev8JVSIoGTkLKQe7oN2QchE1ePFVCVlk_qda1WKJWh4awulPQd5yUKasLNh_utTp2L2d_F2c4GqZKpBNKapGIBG7afKzc/s400/DSC05214.JPG&quot;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Delta Blues Museum內禁止攝影，但是實在忍不住不照幾張館內珍貴收藏回來當作紀念。這就是上面提到的Muddy Waters木屋！Muddy蠟像是在木屋搬進博物館前就已經有的，木屋進駐之後，正好就將蠟像搬進屋內展示。除了蠟像之外屋內還擺放了各類Muddy的相關文物，另外也有一段介紹Muddy的Video，裡面有Rolling Stones團員Bill Wyman和Keith Richards的訪談，以及當年Stones翻唱Muddy歌曲的片段。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/mC6iVby01tC6GrzwZeV61w?feat=embedwebsite&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSoPABCTytfRYmDD_hp0fZWGRbMcq1hsHEFzDPhbUGeXJjI8E1nQi3oXlT4-TwIROx8-pEa37mLAc6wKzJ2bzjxPYIjiyaC-vycpz65UkGbxvsjpRIl8tmeG4dWoWiT-9gI4iFNUq7hPr4/s400/DSC05213.JPG&quot;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robert Johnson相關資料以及當年他被毒殺的Three Forks酒店招牌！Robert Johnson年代太久遠且在26歲就過世，與他相關的文物能流傳至今的沒有幾件。這塊招牌和Muddy木屋應該可說Delta Blues Museum的鎮館之寶。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Fqtq4uBH2BOBaiTadX2wNQ?feat=embedwebsite&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKpBhpkLCWaa995EXeeMlpn60oAT48q4g1G78pgD21DjIQNBs0k0YCvLNkZAL4dKxSusxMm_ysiRArBR5Y9qSKzgu4k_eo9CJxesB6fXPv_ajzbXc8XxtlpdiK8Qyn0EFqV96wU8MYps8A/s400/DSC05208.JPG&quot;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rosedale, MS是個在許多藍調歌曲之中都出現過的地名。在這一路Mississippi Delta旅程之中，放眼望及多半是棉花田以及破敗衰落的城市，Rosedale是其中難得看起來最優美可愛的一個小城。而最不可思議的是，Rosedale竟然有家華人所經營的超商。進去和店主攀談了一下，得知他來美國已經二十多年，搬來Rosedale則大約六年；他對於六年以來第一次看到的亞洲旅客也感到相當訝異，看來前來造訪美國Deep South的日本藍調樂迷不若我想像中的多。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Hs-hwgf9s78JHbOH_gvZUQ?feat=embedwebsite&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhguZe8SxpBOy0KxEm3dmZa1LjkqEUniBMLmCkaR_vj-90trZGlLoNB6H4HvF7_4FGdslIvhhu32AVp2oXnCtexGboxdiZyHAsO5QxBItb1_LZrByBkp62Crs0HfdmX59e_9_w5wg0QZAvK/s400/DSC05228.JPG&quot;

Lucinda和經紀人Tom Overby之間的戀情早就不是秘密了，而Lucinda對於這段關係也是前所未有的滿意:&quot;This is the most positive place I&#39;ve been in in my whole adult life&quot;。Lucinda這次展示出的面向雖然令人意外，卻也讓人為她感到欣喜。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;很難令人相信，事實上Real Love是為了West專輯所寫的。Little Honey本質上是West專輯未發表的歌曲，加上了新歌Honeybee, Plan ot marry, Rarity(從去年West的巡迴開始，Honeybee就已經出現在setlist中了)，還有一些塵封十年以上的歌曲Circles and x&#39;s, Well well well, If wishes were horses。將Little Honey和West擺在一起，Little Honey少了那麼一點深沈的整體感，尤其最後一曲翻唱AC/DC的It&#39;s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n&#39;roll聽起來有點像是窮人版的Keith Richards Band。不過從這也可以看出Lucinda似乎越來越知道如何在錄音室裡面have some fun。&lt;br /&gt;如果是這樣~ Why so serious? &lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heart-break-er.blogspot.com/feeds/8728430706677297828/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/5371294210684397381/8728430706677297828' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5371294210684397381/posts/default/8728430706677297828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5371294210684397381/posts/default/8728430706677297828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heart-break-er.blogspot.com/2008/10/lucinda-williams-little-honey.html' title='Little Honey Lucinda'/><author><name>Giovi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01010481925184447258</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifDxyi06TqCXYPYqFBz57StXsbWCSZAjFJxv8L9Oy2hZWfZGblCcmP5BWbVbL2mHpYaCwSDz6KjnK5d2bEpTauzFL-0ZWXbUveKDEHWfkehD_TsV5x-iZ5ZLXoOC-2zg6SUq-MYh3Yvn5c/s72-c/DSC01790.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371294210684397381.post-1771912504443657870</id><published>2008-10-03T14:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-03T14:31:23.630-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Baseball"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="City of Angels"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Pearl Jam"/><title type='text'>Eddie Vedder / All the way</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/CqHTScDBsDU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/CqHTScDBsDU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; width=&quot;425&quot; height=&quot;344&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;出生於Chicago的小熊球迷Eddie Vedder感人好歌一首。不過Eddie對不起，對於小熊來說someday看起來似乎不是今年。Dodgers have taken a 2:0 lead over the Cubs in the NLDS！Let&#39;s go, let&#39;s go, Dodgers~&lt;span class=&quot;fullpost&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eddie Vedder / All the way&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&#39;t let anyone say that it&#39;s just a game&lt;br /&gt;For I&#39;ve seen other teams and it&#39;s never the same&lt;br /&gt;When you&#39;re born in Chicago, you&#39;re blessed and you&#39;re healed&lt;br /&gt;First time you walk into Wrigley Field&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our heroes wear pinstripes; heroes in blue&lt;br /&gt;They give us the chance to feel like heroes too&lt;br /&gt;Whether we&#39;ll win, and if we should lose&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know someday we&#39;ll go all the way&lt;br /&gt;Yeah!

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Riders on the Storm 2008/9/20 at House of Blues, Chicago, IL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;從1965年成立到Jim Morrison 1971年過世，the Doors的歷史僅有短短六年。但這短短六年，卻徹底改變了Ray Manzarek、Robbby Krieger以及John Densmore三個人的一生。&lt;span class=&quot;fullpost&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;也許他們是極為幸運的一群。除了rock legend的光環之外，光靠the Doors的唱片版稅以及林林總總各類商品的收入，他們每個人都過著衣食無缺、30歲就提早退休的生活。但從一方面看來，他們也無可避免的必須活在the Doors的印記以及Jim Morrison的陰影之下。從1971年以來，他們或許各自成立了自己的樂團，有著各式各樣的solo project。但是整體而言，從Jim Morrison離開之後，他們就再也沒有回到舞台上的聚光燈焦點裡了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2002年，Ray和Robby找了the Cult的Ian Isbury以及the Police的Dave Copeland重出江湖，把新樂團稱為The Doors of 21st Century。但是John並不同意復出，甚至和Ray及Robby鬧上了法庭。最後結果Ray及Robby敗訴，不得使用The Doors的字樣；於是他們只好借用自己歌曲的名稱，把樂團團名改為Riders on the Storm。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雖然Jim無疑的是靈魂人物，但若沒有Ray當年在Venice Beach上聽了Jim唱Moonlight Drive之後和他說&quot;Let&#39;s make a million dollar&quot;，the Doors是否存在也許都是個問題。若沒有Robby Krieger寫了衝上排行榜冠軍的Light My Fire，也許the Doors就始終只是洛杉磯的一個地方性樂團，永遠也沒有機會創造歷史。難道Ray和Robby兩個人沒有資格代表the Doors嗎?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我心裡清楚知道Riders on the storm和the Doors並不能劃上等號。沒有了Jim Morrison，就不可能有The Doors。但能看到Ray和Robby在舞台上表演那些The Doors的經典歌曲，仍然帶給我一種美夢成真的感覺。至少這個夢想已經完成了一半；另外一半，就要等待日後造訪Paris再去實現了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;後記:&lt;br /&gt;當天下午在表演前，Riders on the Storm不但讓所有在House of Blues樓下等待的樂迷進場參觀，更讓我們所有人(約20多人)上台參與試音。除了簽名合照之外，更是把握了機會和他們聊上兩句。Ray相當親切，尤其看到我亮出了UCLA Bruins的student id之後，更是開心的笑了起來，還問了我念了什麼科系等等。Robby相對來話比較少些，我主要問了一些他在吉他效果器setting方面的問題，也確認了他所用的其中一把Gibson SG就是當年The Doors時代所使用的。最後Riders on the Storms以同名曲做完soundcheck之後，大家心滿意足到樓下繼續等待演唱會正式開始。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heart-break-er.blogspot.com/feeds/3666872385658131300/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/5371294210684397381/3666872385658131300' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5371294210684397381/posts/default/3666872385658131300'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5371294210684397381/posts/default/3666872385658131300'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heart-break-er.blogspot.com/2008/09/riders-on-stormhouse-of-blues.html' title='Riders on the Storm'/><author><name>Giovi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01010481925184447258</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://lh6.ggpht.com/giovinctu/SNXZV-aRfFI/AAAAAAAAHCQ/oBx4ayh7OUc/s72-c/DSC01684.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371294210684397381.post-533884506170804762</id><published>2008-09-22T13:39:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-24T20:17:13.608-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="The Doors"/><title type='text'>The Doors Matrix Tapes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7bTuaG_FMqQvvY1TMmJ_TzTNU-o6wa9r6mencKlQ-Ugc4WkjT6et6tsXzKB64xg_0CJLH760RjymSKTMFFHjz5-fNfYZAMbGNQWgsCJRGuxnTZ2sfy0gVB-GbH3xOPP-RjkZilQ06bmj8/s1600-h/matrix_sm.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor:pointer;

stereo tape recorder錄下了部分演出。一軌是Jim Morrison的vocal，另一軌音源則是來自懸掛在天花板上的麥克風。據說這些錄音當年Electra唱片公司老闆Jac Holzman獲得了一份casette拷貝，但是並沒有發表的打算。這份casette轉交給了製作人Paul Rothchild，然後Paul Rothchild(也有可能是錄音工程師Bruce Botnick)將內容轉到盤帶上後收藏於Electra唱片公司的庫房中。後來Electra陸續遭竊(連Love的母帶都被偷了)，這些錄音才流通於bootleggers之間，一般被稱為The Matrix Tapes。現在流傳的所有錄音包含了3/7號和3/10兩天的全部set以及3/9部分片段(3/9演出有被錄下，但隔天就被3/10錄音覆蓋，也因此僅剩The End的4分鐘片段)。3/8以及3/11號兩天則似乎沒有任何錄音記錄留下。(以上敘述可能比較接近傳說，不見得是歷史事實。)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Matrix Tapes無庸置疑的是The Doors樂迷心目中最重要的現場演出記錄。這極有可能是The Doors最早的完整現場錄音(比Matrix早幾天的Avalon Ballroom錄音，目前僅有幾個track流傳，完整錄音是否存在仍是未解謎題)。在The Doors短短的四五年生涯裡，1967年3月絕對可以稱的上是早期，Light My Fire登上單曲榜第一名甚至還是在Matrix演出的幾個月後！The Matrix Tapes裡面錄到的演出很可能相當接近於傳說中當年在Sunset Strip上Whiskey A-Go-Go和London Fog的現場。當初Paul Rothchild在錄第一張專輯的時候，幾乎是把The Doors的現場直接搬到錄音室裡；不過在The Matrix Tapes裡面可以聽出同名專輯歌曲的編曲和專輯版本並不完全相同，Jim Morrison也有許多現場信手拈來的即興歌詞，這些都是相當值得玩味的地方。除了早已玩透的同名專輯歌曲以及翻唱一些老藍調之外，The Doors也開始在現場實驗其他即將發表於第二張專輯Strange Days的歌曲雛形，Strange Days裡面的一半歌曲已經出現在The Matrix Tapes裡。總而言之，這可說是是探究早期The Doors歷史不可或缺的羅塞達石碑。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;從2002年左右，The Doors的official bootleg廠牌Bright Midnight Archive就不斷放出關於出版官方版Matrix錄音的風聲，The Doors當時的manager Danny Sugarman本人也宣稱與母帶owner的交涉正在進行中。不過至今BMA所發行的official bootleg除了訪談之外，所有的發行均是來自於1969~1970為Absolutely Live現場專輯所做的現場錄音。The Doors樂迷苦等了多年，直到最近才終於確定了今年11月18日，這份41年前的錄音終於即將有官方版本Live at the Matrix 67問世。這絕對是Bright Midnight有史以來最重量級的發行！不過官方版的出現，並沒有完全滿足所有的樂迷。首先，Live at the Matrix 67 2CD裡面包含的並不是3/7和3/10兩天的完整演出。另外官方版所用的母帶音源來自何處，也是被多所質疑的一點。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Doors現任的Manager Jeff Jampol宣稱Bright Midnight Archive並沒有和任何人購買母帶，這次所用的音源來自於The Doors Archive內所尋獲的reel盤帶。裡面內容已被Paul Rothchild在生前編輯剪接過，盤帶外盒上還有Paul Rothchild的親筆筆跡。對於The Doors樂迷而言，這絕對不是個令人滿意的答案。Paul Rothchild已經過世，The Doors Archive內所尋獲由他所編輯過的盤帶來源為何已經無法得知。由各種傳說以及Jeff Jampol的說法推測，這很可能仍然來自於當年Jac Holzman所獲得的卡帶拷貝，那麼這至少是3rd gen以上的版本(母帶master tape-&gt;Jac Holzman的casette(2nd gen)-&gt;轉錄至reel盤帶(3rd gen))。雖然與The Doors合作多年的Bruce Botnick絕對會將音質盡可能提升，但對於講究錄音純淨度(lineage)的樂迷而言，發行3rd gen音源錄音是件根本無法接受的事情。當然，The Doors Archive擁有原始母帶的可能性並不能被完全排除。不過，一般仍然相信母帶極可能還在當年Matrix的co-owner Peter Abrams的手中。Peter Abrams幾年前的訪談中甚至宣稱過他手上還有超過四小時以上Velvet Underground當年在Matrix表演的錄音；也有傳說他曾經向Danny Sugarman兜售過The Matrix Tapes母帶，但價格無法談壟而作罷。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在發行official bootleg時，最常遇到的爭議即是quality以及completeness之間的平衡點。而這次The Doors的Live at the Matrix，似乎是碰到了一個兩者均無法兼顧的情況。不過雖然官方版本並不是盡善盡美，我個人相信The Doors仍然做出了正確的決定。若是為了少數極度挑剔音質純淨度及完整性的樂迷要求，而繼續等待也許根本不存在的完整The Matrix Tapes母帶出土，許多樂迷可能永遠不會有機會看到官方版問世。而且即使找到了1st gen原始母帶，仍然只是品質粗糙的雙軌錄音，品質也無法和一般的現場soundboard八軌錄音比較。與其這樣，不如就將如此具有歷史意義，甚至與The Doors六張錄音室專輯以及Absolutely Live可等量齊觀的The Matrix Tapes盡可能的呈現在樂迷面前。畢竟，長達41年的等待已經夠久了...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heart-break-er.blogspot.com/feeds/533884506170804762/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/5371294210684397381/533884506170804762' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5371294210684397381/posts/default/533884506170804762'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5371294210684397381/posts/default/533884506170804762'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heart-break-er.blogspot.com/2008/09/doors-matrix-tapes.html' title='The Doors Matrix Tapes'/><author><name>Giovi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01010481925184447258</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7bTuaG_FMqQvvY1TMmJ_TzTNU-o6wa9r6mencKlQ-Ugc4WkjT6et6tsXzKB64xg_0CJLH760RjymSKTMFFHjz5-fNfYZAMbGNQWgsCJRGuxnTZ2sfy0gVB-GbH3xOPP-RjkZilQ06bmj8/s72-c/matrix_sm.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371294210684397381.post-379891504353346171</id><published>2008-09-18T08:53:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-30T22:36:52.036-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Chuck Berry"/><title type='text'>Root of Rock: Chuck Berry</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/GC446ZPswrNsF_6S7OXiOg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://lh5.ggpht.com/giovinctu/SNHpaJjrqbI/AAAAAAAAG9I/N2h9vC_gpUQ/s400/DSC01494.JPG&quot;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ryan Adams &amp; the Cardinals  Jan 30, 2008 at Royce Hall, UCLA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;關於Ryan Adams，似乎從來沒有一件事情是簡單而直接的。做為他的歌迷，有時候你就是必須要去容忍他那種極端的特質。&lt;span class=&quot;fullpost&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;去看Ryan Adams的演唱會，你必須要祈禱你那天有著好運。在你離開會場之前，你永遠不會知道你會遇到什麼。他可以連續三個小時在舞台上給你一場你畢生難忘的演出；但也有可能應付了事，草草唱個一個小時走人。他甚至曾經在舞台上酩酊大醉亂唱一通，連他自己唱過了什麼歌都不記得。你也許會期待看到傳說中那個自大傲慢無理極度情緒化，曾經在舞台上當場發飆把底下點唱Heaven或Summer of 69的歌迷趕出場外的Ryan Adams；但你也有可能會看到一個溫和友善，在舞台上談笑風生，偶爾還會搞笑一下的他。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;到目前為止一共看了Ryan Adams八次現場。一次是Ryan Adams在Hollywood Bowl為Willie Nelson開場、一場Yahoo Live Sets錄影現場、以及六場2007~2008 Tour。很幸運的是，Ryan Adams在這段時間內找回了自己的狀態。現在他在不需要酒精，只喝Diet Coke或咖啡來補充咖啡因。雖然還是有著某種程度上的stage fright，因此總在唱歌的時候把前面頭髮放下遮住眼睛，舞台上也不使用聚光燈；但可以感覺出來的是，他在舞台上更放鬆也更懂得如何以清醒的狀態面對觀眾了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在音樂上，Ryan Adams的才華並不需要更多的肯定，不過The Cardinals這個看似樸實無華但事實上鋒芒內斂的Backing band我一直覺得值得擁有更多的credit。吉他手Neal Casal冷靜自持的風格，恰好彌補了Ryan Adams的狂放不羈，兩個截然不同風格的吉他手間的微妙平衡，激盪出了不少精彩的火花。貝斯手Chris &quot;Spacewolf&quot; Feinstein和鼓手Brad Pemberton的組合，無論是如何風格的歌曲，總是可以適切地給出緊密而有效的節奏骨幹。另外鄉村樂團獨有的編制Pedal Steel Guitar手Jon Graboff則有著畫龍點睛的功效，定義了The Cardinals獨特的sound。當Ryan Adams and the Cardinals進入狀態的時候，他們絕對是世界上最了不起的組合之一。2007年在Santa Cruz那一晚，在舞台下離Ryan Adams僅僅三公尺的距離內，看著他們在台上火熱的Jam，我知道我正在目擊一個了不起的時刻。我徹底的感覺到了Rock n&#39;roll at its finest moment那種讓人心跳加速、背脊發涼的魔法。在那時刻我情不自禁地將Ryan Adams &amp; the Cardinals和Dylan &amp; the Band或是Neil Young &amp; the Crazy Horse這樣的傳奇組合聯想在一起。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這樣的評論，我承認多少是出於自己私心對於Ryan Adams的偏愛。但我也期待Ryan Adams在這個缺乏才華的年代，能夠繼續成長為一個可和Bob Dylan/Neil Young/Jerry Garcia/Willie Nelson/Bruce Springsteen比肩的傳奇。或許，當人們在30年後討論起這次經典的巡迴時，就會如同我們現在討論著1966年的Dylan &amp; the Hawks或1975年的Neil Young &amp; the Crazy Horse那樣。如此一來，我便可以驕傲地告訴他們，我當年是如何見證這段歷史...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heart-break-er.blogspot.com/feeds/6709228061281258737/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/5371294210684397381/6709228061281258737' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5371294210684397381/posts/default/6709228061281258737'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5371294210684397381/posts/default/6709228061281258737'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heart-break-er.blogspot.com/2008/01/ryan-adams-20072008-tour.html' title='Ryan Adams 2007~2008 Tour'/><author><name>Giovi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01010481925184447258</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371294210684397381.post-6108318548923865893</id><published>2007-12-28T14:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-09-22T23:18:32.324-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Van Halen"/><title type='text'>Diamond Dave&#39;s Back</title><content type='html'>Van Halen@Staples Center, Los Angeles, Dec 14th 2008 &lt;br /&gt;Van Halen@Honda Center, Anaheim, Dec 20th 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/giovinctu/VanHalenHondaCenter/photo#5146354646298309666&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://lh6.google.com/giovinctu/R2uGSMTKtCI/AAAAAAAAEY8/bgtcLIgOolA/s400/DSC07090.JPG&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eddie與Alex這對Van Halen兄弟與樂團歷任主唱之間的恩怨，始終是搖滾圈裡面歷久不衰的八卦話題之一。這齣分分合合的肥皂劇，今年又有了有趣的發展。&lt;span class=&quot;fullpost&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;年初Van Halen被選入搖滾名人堂，出席典禮的的僅有前主唱Sammy Hagar和前貝斯手Michael Anthony，沒有一個人姓Van Halen，現場的畫面看起來著實有些尷尬。之後，Van Halen宣布將與第一任主唱David Lee Roth復合巡迴演出，但並不找回已被視為第二任主唱Sammy Hagar人馬的前貝斯手Michael Anthony，而是由Eddie的兒子Wolfgang Van Halen取代。Van Halen的網站上當時不僅將Logo換成1979~1984年的舊版，甚至將專輯封面圖片上的Michael Anthony照片全部修改成Wolfgang Van Halen。這個動作引起不少樂迷的反彈，於是隨後只好又將圖片換回原始專輯封面。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我個人對David Lee Roth或Sammy Hagar沒有特別的偏好，兩個時期都各自有不少喜歡的專輯。只是覺得Van Halen兄弟似乎不怎麼會做人，每次總是鬧出這些新聞。可惜Alex或Eddie沒生個會唱歌的兒子，不然兩代同堂，把Van Halen徹底搞成家族事業豈不妙哉？但不管怎麼說，Van Halen是我從高中時代的愛團之一。能看到Diamond Dave再次和Van Halen團圓，也是美事一件。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這次Tour全是David Lee Roth Era的歌曲，每天的setlist都相同，畢竟他們也不過共同合作了五張專輯。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Setlist:&lt;br /&gt;01.

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lucinda Williams今年在美國東西岸兩大城市洛杉磯與紐約各自連開五場演唱會，每場的上半場都是一張專輯的完整演出，從2003年的World Without Tears開始一路追溯回1988年的Lucinda Williams同名專輯。當初消息一出的時候興奮不已，現場一次聽足五張專輯六十多首歌完整版本，還有能什麼比這更夢幻。&lt;span class=&quot;fullpost&quot;&gt;但無奈人不在洛杉磯，也只能看著新聞興嘆。隨著這五場演唱會的日期越來越接近，實在很想要把手邊的事情丟開不管，但想歸想，還是不能輕易放下。既然沒辦法一次聽完五場，那麼至少一場也好吧。就這樣憑著一股衝動，上週末總共開了超過一千公里約十二小時的車程往返南北加州，就為了Lucinda周六晚上在洛杉磯El Rey Theatre的Car Wheels on a Gravel Road現場演出。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;用十二小時車程換一場兩個半小時的演出，從數字上看來是不太相稱，但我卻覺得一切都是值得的。有些魔法並不是每天晚上都會發生，但那天晚上的氣氛讓人很明顯就讓人感覺到something is goin&#39; on。從在門外開始排隊起，就有工作人員拿著攝影機開始訪問觀眾，而El Rey Theatre裡面也擺出的器材也和平日不同，光是我能看到的至少就有五台攝影機從各個角度捕捉舞台動態。這幾場演唱會規格之高、陣容之龐大，可能是Lucinda Williams生涯所僅見。伴奏樂手除了這次West tour原來的Doug Pettibone, David Sutton, Butch Norton之外，又加入了Chet Lyster。而當年參與Car Wheels on a Gravel Road錄音session的Jim Lauderdale和Steve Earle也全程陪同。除了這些人之外，Steve Earle的太太Allison Moore, Marvin Etzioni, Tom Petty &amp; The Heartbreakers的吉他手Mike Campbell也都是那晚的special guests。(這只是9/8一個晚上而已，這十場演唱會其他的特別來賓還包含Ann Wilson, Emmylou Harris, Robby Krieger, Bruce Springsteen, Sonic Youth等人！)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;舞臺布幕拉開後，上半場從Right In Time直到最後一首Jackson毫無冷場。多加入了吉他/鍵盤手Chet Lyster之後，伴奏樂隊的層次感有了極大的提升，和之前我看過的Lucinda現場的標準四件式搖滾截然不同。再加上Jim Lauderdale的合音和Steve Earle的空心吉他，整個音場綿密而飽滿，佈置的滴水不露。&quot;The Mandolin Man&quot; Marvin Etzioni的曼陀鈴在好幾首歌裡面更是有著畫龍點睛的效果。所有樂手並沒有進行過精密的rehearsal，也並不打算在現場細膩地複製每首歌曲在Car Wheels on a Gravel Road專輯裡的版本；相較之下這更像是許久不見的幾個老朋友一起參加一場Party，然後拿起樂器開始彈起那些久未想起的曲調，整體的氣氛可說是達到了Loose but Tight的最高境界。雖然Lucinda把Drunken Angel和Lake Charles中斷了幾次，但也瑕不掩瑜。現場不常出現的Can&#39;t Let Go獲得了滿堂彩；不過全場的Highlight無疑是Lucinda演唱會必唱的Joy。Mike Campbell、Doug Pattibone和Chet Lyster三人火熱的吉他lick，連Lucinda自己唱完後都大呼過癮地說This is fuckin&#39; awesome, this is transcendent！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;難以置信的是，在經過了如此輝煌的First Set演出後，Lucinda的下半場演出竟然相較之下還有過之而無不及！到這邊已經不知道該如何繼續形容下去了，再說也只是多餘，只能說這是我生平經歷過最了不起的演唱會之一！雖然不能把洛杉磯的五場全看完，但光這一場已經是畢生難忘的經驗。其他幾場在Lucinda的Website Forum上面也是大受好評。現在只希望除了Lucinda除了將這十場演出的現場錄音發行外(這十場演出所有的First Set都現場立即編輯混音並壓制，在演唱會結束之前就可現場購買CD)，最好能夠再來個3 DVD Boxset收錄這幾場演唱會精華片段，如此一來才能夠稍減所有不能到場歌迷的遺憾。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First Set:&lt;br /&gt;Car Wheels on a Gravel Road&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second Set:&lt;br /&gt;1.

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在Ryan Adams的專輯裡，Love Is Hell也許排不進前三名。如果以前兩張專輯Heartbreaker以及Gold作為衡量標準，那麼Love Is Hell更是張一點也不Ryan Adams式的唱片，也是Ryan Adams最被低估且評價最兩極化的作品。就連唱片公司Lost Highway當初都拒絕發行這張他們認為太過低迷而不可能獲得任何商業成功的專輯。&lt;span class=&quot;fullpost&quot;&gt;Ryan Adams一怒之下進錄音室花了短短兩星期又搞出另外一張專輯Rock N&#39;Roll，最後和Lost Highway取得協議，將Love is Hell分為Pt.1和Pt.2兩張EP和Rock N&#39;Roll同時發行。許多樂評給了Love Is Hell極為糟糕的評價，大罵這是張灰暗陰冷，充滿自我耽溺情緒的唱片，甚至形容這是件拷貝The Smith與Jeff Buckley不成的贗品。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;當然，在某種程度上我同意以上所有說法。Ryan Adams並不擅長於創造新風格，而他也並不刻意去掩飾他每個階段作品背後的影響。但如果仔細去審視他的每首歌曲，Ryan Adams秀異的詞曲創作能力仍然是每張作品裡無法被掩蓋的焦點。即使他未來並沒有成為大家所期待的下一個如Neil Young、Jerry Garcia或Willie Nelson般的傳奇，這仍無損於他作為這個世代最好singer/songwriter的地位。何必在乎那些樂評怎麼說呢。連一向高傲不群的Noel Gallagher都對Love Is Hell Pt.1裡翻唱的Wonderwall讚嘆不已，甚至在Oasis的演唱會裡演唱Ryan Adams版本的Wonderwall。就我看來，這樣的背書比任何評論都更為強而有力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;想了很久，總算下定決心敗下這張個人愛盤10&quot; Double EP。價錢並不是太便宜，畢竟黑膠版本絕版已久。但比起之前ebay上動輒破百美金的金額而言已經算是相當可接受的。Ryan Adams其他專輯最近也重發了180g重盤，看來是個下手的好時機。只可惜在美國一年多來由於居住環境的問題，還沒弄套像樣的音響，現在有了唱片仍然無緣享受。不過若買了唱盤，又是另一個無窮無盡的敗家開端，不可不慎。&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heart-break-er.blogspot.com/feeds/4475910426792133208/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/5371294210684397381/4475910426792133208' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5371294210684397381/posts/default/4475910426792133208'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5371294210684397381/posts/default/4475910426792133208'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heart-break-er.blogspot.com/2007/09/ryan-adamslove-is-hellheartbreakergoldl.html' title='Ryan Adams / Love Is Hell'/><author><name>Giovi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01010481925184447258</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
