Old People Music Thread

Old music is the best, says an old man like me. Live music is the best as well.

Rock bands for $200.00 if you can name where the band got its name from

Woops, sorry, wrong video. I think a Steely Dan is a dildo

 

Yeah it is from William Burough's "Naked Lunch"

 

They're all a bunch of young Whippersnapper Rockers and not a single one of them knows the first thing about REAL music. Beatles just to start the long, long list.

 

My bar band plays a broad mix of stuff from the 1960's all the way thru contemporary songs, but I must confess our set lists are pretty much dominated by 1970's music.

Any good band should be able to trot out a good number of Beatles songs, this much I have learned.

It's fun playing bars, clubs, private parties, and class reunions.
The trick is to figure out in advance what kind of music the crowd wants to hear, and tailor your set lists in that direction.
Class reunions are easy; If the class graduated high school in 1977, you double-down on stuff from 1975 thru 1977, and learn those songs inside and out.

 

You sound like my dad. He says the Beatles were the death of music.

 

And you sound like my brother, who also plays in a band, local bars and weddings, some of the fun songs from the 80s as well. Here is one I always liked:

Some times newer songs catch the old beat.

 

Old music? Rock music was a rebellion against 'old music.' They didn't put the same craft of song-writing into rock music that they did for, say, Big Band music, Gershwin, even the Tin Pan Alley songs had a lot more going on, in terms of complicated chords and progressions. But for our ears, the real old music: Handel, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Bach... now that's old music! Heh.

And just so you know, we saw Supertramp on the Crime of the Century tour, in KC Kansas, Memorial Hall 1973... (or was that '74?) You know the old saying: 'If you remember the 70's you weren't there...'
