Here’s your 2 hour playlist

Regular Clusterflock readers know about my affection for late ’60s & early ’70s jams, a category which includes no Dylan or Van Morrison, because their long tracks are verbocentric, not musicocentric; no ambient, electronica or Terry Reid, because those are an entirely different sort of extended music; no Led Zeppelin because the longest of their good jams is a bit too short at 8:40; not even any Cream because their greatest tracks are all short and concise–their jams are boring.

So here’s your playlist, including boogie, jazz (okay, it’s a ringer, but it is a live extended version–the studio version could fit on a 45), jazz-rock, glossy rock and even rock-gospel.

“Fried Hockey Boogie”–Canned Heat, Boogie with Canned Heat

“Misterioso” (live)–Thelonious Monk, Monk’s Greatest Hits

“Stop”–James Gang, Yer Album

“Moon in June”–Soft Machine, Thirds

“Wade in the Water” (live)–Chambers Brothers, Love, Peace and Happiness

“Eight Miles High” (live)–Byrds, (Untitled)

“Revelations”–Love, Da Capo

The six-part “Love” suite that opens Happy Trails–Quicksilver Messenger Service

    weird—I just heard the 18-minute “Revelations” for the first time this past week… and I dig it.

    You ever hear the long track (is it Halifax?) by the Hampton Grease Band?

    No Little Feat? Some of their live jams stand up very well. That complaint aside, I very much like the selection here!

    The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys

    Scheherazade

    now see?

    i’m into the bourbon and nothing clean will be written. tomorrow morning will bring mental white-out and quiet self abuse.

    it’s why i don’t smoke the pipe drink run the streets work for the *** (any more).

    but, really, how do you keep it to 2 hours?
