John HilgartI think my affinity with or indifference to a lot of music that is theoretically in my wheelhouse depends on the lead guitarist being compellingly melodic. Jerry Garcia is obv the king, but someone like BOC's Donald Roeser also stands very tall among guitar storytellers. My Phish "meh" is mostly about this element.
Totally thought I'd already posted some early BOC love here on Mastodon, but apparently hadn't. Hence my seemingly random invocation of Donald Roeser's nice lead guitar.
tlmoore@4CPcomics before I found myself in a place where the bus would come by…One of the most intense & “out there” concerts I attended was B.O.C. on 10/3/1981 in Nashville, TN.
I had only taken psychedelics a few times before, the blotter was very strong & I experienced perceptions in very new ways that night…It was the most colorful night of music I had known until a few years later with King Crimson in NYC & The Dead at S.P.A.C. -both in June 1984
BTW-Sandy Pearlman was probably a genius…
