The Tubes were a great band live! Saw them twice in the 70s. Played their album Young and Rich all the time. Here's one of my favorite songs from that album.

Tubes - What Do You Want From Life? 1975

Al Kooper, known for his work with Bob Dylan and Lynyrd Skynyrd, produced the album. In his memoir Backstage Passes and Backstabbing *******s, he explained that "What Do You Want From Life" is a parody of the TV game show The Price Is Right!. Wrote Kooper: "We spent the better part of an afternoon writing the script of possible prizes you could win, climaxing with 'a baby's arm holding an apple,' which some of you may recall as Lady Chatterley's description of her lover's 'package.' This survived censorship because not many DJs had read D. H. Lawrence at the time!"

I learned something, today, Robert.

When I heard the first Pat Travers back in '78 (?) I was like "where did this unknown get such a bluesy song?".

It was like when George Thorogood burst on the scene in '82. "Where did all that come from?" I wondered. "Couldn't be some instant greatness."

Both cases of modern musicians covering and popularizing blues classics. And putting a rock flavor on them.

Me likey.

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited 1969

I know of the Pat Travers cover. Pretty big no-no these days to listen to...kinda like "Baby It's Cold Outside".

Check out the "Putting it Straight" front and back album covers.

King Biscuit Boy - Boom, Boom Out Goes the Light 1971

This is friggin’ epic! I was going through vinyl today, and completely forgot about this gem. “Achilles Last Stand”, from Zep’s late 70’s period. I ran across this quickly on a YouTube search, only up for 4 months now, in HD. Well worth 9.5 minutes of your life to listen to…
