Product Description

"Many guitarists dabble in slide guitar, but the number of modern masters can probably be counted on one hand- Roy Rogers is surely one of them..."- Guitar Player Magazine. This Roy Rogers' first ever live CD. Drawing on inspiration and material from a career that spans decades of performing, Roy Rogers is considered one of the world1s leading parishioners of modern slide guitar. This is a Bandlink Enhanced CD which enables you to access new and exclusive Roy Rogers content- instant tour dates, news alerts, bonus music tracks, live video footage and direct chats with the Roy. Nominated for 8 Grammy1s for his production and performing work in the recording industry, Rogers1 has been immersed in the blues and roots scene and performing professionally since the ripe age of 13. This longtime Northern California resident picked up a nomination for the prestigious W.C. Handy Award in the Best Instrumentalist Guitar category last year for his release "Slideways" which hit #3 on the Blues Billboard chart. In addition, Rogers' recently co-wrote the song 3G1Nawin on It1 (on 'Silver Lining') with Bonnie Raitt which was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Female Rock Vocal Performance category. Rogers is currently being featured on OSierra Center Stage1, the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company-sponsored television series which seeks to bring exposure to underexposed American Roots and World musicians. The CD includes special guest performances by pianist Phil Aaberg, harmonica wizard Norton Buffalo, vocalist Shana Morrison and fiddler Tom Rigney. "I am first and foremost a performer and I have been playing with these players for a long time. It's great to lay it down and not have to bother with the added textures of studio polish- but keep it as gritty and fresh as possible. I also wanted to capture the band at this moment in time and I think we did that," adds Rogers.

Ripping Slide Guitar Blues.......2006-02-14

I've always been an admirer of Roy Rogers - and I love slide guitar blues - a few of the current best purveyors being Johnny Winter, Sonny Landreth, Rory Block, John Mooney, Dave Hole, and Robert Randolph (pedal steel). Previously, some of Rogers' studio work has been a bit sterile, and sometimes his vocals can be wearing. However, in this case, Roy Rogers has set the standard in the warm, live setting of the Sierra Nevada Brewery "Big Room". All of the interaction with his longtime partner, Norton Buffalo, and the Delta Rhythm Kings, and the audience getting into it, make for an exciting listen. His slide guitar really shimmers and shakes, and all of the cuts (except for one), which were previously recorded on his other albums, really benefit from this live presentation. The recording quality itself is excellent. If you see this album - Get It!

One may never be able to go home again, but that hasn't kept Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel from trying every other decade or so. This two-CD plus DVD live set (recorded in December 2003 at the Meadowlands and Madison Square Garden) shows their musical chemistry has transcended the years--and no small amount of acrimony. But while their '80s live reunion was marked by an aura of celebration, this one floats on an undercurrent of bittersweet resolve. There's no mistaking the elegiac tone of the title track, while stark readings of "Hazy Shade of Winter" and "Sounds of Silence" can't help but evoke the scars of 9/11. A musical circle is completed as the Everly Brothers step in for a joyous "Bye Bye Love," while elsewhere Simon's musical restlessness inspires a subtly jazzy reworking of "Slip Slidin' Away" and Garfunkel adds his stately grace to his partner's "American Tune." The album concludes with S&G's first new studio recording in 30 years, the plaintive, irony-studded plea "Citizen of the Planet." --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

For an entire generation, the concert event of the new millennium was the 2003 Old Friends tour from Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. Their first national concert tour in two decades, performing songs that rank among the most memorable of the '60s, was a sold-out sensation in more than 30 cities across the country. Now many of those unforgettable performances are heard on the 2-CD set Old Friends Live On Stage, as well as a DVD and a Deluxe Edition with both the DVD and the CDs. The songs of Simon & Garfunkel have never sounded better.

Like Drinking Vodka and Lime.......2005-12-24

Hello again people. I really have to stop handing out 5 star reviews this season like they were candy canes. However, if something is worthy of it - as this c.d./dvd set is - then I am justified. Simon and Garfunkel are just classic. I remember "The Sound of Silence" when it came out having such a big impact at the time. That was the season of alienation, and S & G really had their hand on the pulse.
A quick story. It was either late '66 or early '67, and I'm in school and this girl in front of me turns around and asks if anyone wanted tickets to see Simon and Garfunkel at Carnegie Hall? She had two. Gave them away "free" to me and someone else. I was way too young to go into New York City by myself. But I did anyway. Guess how much the tickets were? A whopping FIVE DOLLARS!!!! And that was alot for a concert at that time. Anyway... the concert was pure magic. Only Paul on guitar and harmonies. It was rich, lush and angelic. What can you say about a blend of vocals like this except that it is as near to perfection you can get. I have always remembered that concert as one of the best I've ever seen. I believe the c.d. "Simon and Garfunkel Live 1967" is as close to the concert that I saw.
Anyway..... when I heard they were reuniting for a concert tour, I just had to go. And, believe me, this time around the tickets were nowhere near as cheap. Still, I went to see them at The Continental Arena in N.J. on the night of December 8th, 2003 and was excited to find that they used part of that very night for the DVD. The evening was as excellent as the DVD shows, however, you viewers have the advantage of seeing them up close. It's hard to get a view like that 100 rows out or so.
This package is worth it - ten times over believe me. It is a retrospect of their career with excellent side musicians who recreate all the particulars of the original recordings and then some. S & G's mock feud bantering puts the audience in a great mood. The evening sails smoothly and the introduction of The Everly Brothers adds icing to the cake. Paying homage to their influences - S & G provide a genuine warmth to the concert.
I do want to point out one song inparticular. When they did "Bridge Over Troubled Water", Paul took the second verse. An interesting variation, but it works fine. Also, near the end, the piano goes into a strange key variation...... most noticably. I am assuming it was done to accomodate Garfunkel's ending to the song. In any event, the song was a mainpoint in a fine evening.
I could go song by song in this review but it would be a big yawn. Suffice to say - S & G are professionals and they definitely do not disappoint in this offering!!
If you are looking for classic pop music with alot of grace - an EXTREMELY HIGH recommendation for this one. Whew....that was hard. Being totally serious for a change is a difficult challenge. But Simon and Garfunkel are worth it! Goodbye for now people!

Buy IT!.......2005-11-12

I saw Simon and Garfunkel perform live on this tour and this DVD/CD perfectly captures the performance perfectly. For only a few extra dollars over the DVD version you also get two cds. I really can't say much more than if you like Simon and Garfunkel and their music this should be a must buy!

Highlights of the show are: an appropriate opening song (Old Friends/Bookends), an energetic version of Hazy Shade of Winter, a melancholic beautiful version of America, an upbeat energetic version of The Zoo, Homeward Bound (what can I say, one of my favorite S & G songs), American Tune (a Paul Simon song that sounds great sung by Simon and Garfunkel), Bridge Over Troubled Water with Paul Simon signing the middle verse (in the original version Paul Simon did not sing!) and the best song on the Cd; The Boxer (always such a powerful and moving song).

Gee but it's great to be back home..............2005-07-28

Love this album !! A heartwarming reunion and great music... They are both so musically talented and have just gotten better over the years.

Timeless.......2005-03-12

Wanna capture time in a bottle? Start here. This is an absolutely brilliant set from a duo who were amongst a '60s '70s movement who brought brilliant song crafting and writing to a popular culture which had previously been practically devoid of it (the occasional Cole Porter or Gershwin being exceptions).

It's great to see that the guys give a great and proper shout out to the Everly's, who were their harmonizing inspirations. Just about every cut is either equal to or surpassing the originals most of us are familiar with. The greatest duo in Pop/Rock/Folk history? I think so, my friends. Hear them here in all their glory, with great back up musicians (as always) and pitch perfect recording! It's the state of the art, as it should be for two talents who are indeed "artists" as well as highly prolific tunesmiths. What a night of music!

BEK

I love these guys!.......2005-03-11

I was at the concert in Dallas and I must say, some of the songs were better on stage here. But, that doesn't take away from these CDs at all. It doesn't matter to me whether they are still friends (as some have commented) what matters to me is the music. It was wonderful to see how they teamed up on tunes like "Bridge Over Troubled Water". Garfunkel obviously could not hit those notes anymore, but Simon stepped in with his version and it was great. It was Simon & Garfunkel -- new and improved. I loved the show and I love the CDs --

good.......2007-07-18

i really like this band... the music on this cd is great. there are a few songs that could have been better, but its a good mix of music.

Theyre better live.......2004-12-28

With the release of all the "radio friendly" "pop punk" crap, this band continues to stay underground. The best tracks by TB on this album to me is Russian Roulette, and Take the reins. And the best TB song ever I think is, Irish Boys. This cd is good, but its too bright, and peppy foy my grunge loving palate. I saw them live in September at Fitzgerald's and they were great. Their singer is so beautiful, she looks a tiny bit like Brody Dalle, and has a killer voice... But this album is alright.

Soild music, a little monotonous.......2004-11-12

Don't get me wrong, these guys are great musicians and their music is tight and solid, and somewhat original. I do listen to the album periodically, however, as an overall album I find that the collection can get a bit fatiguing. The band needs to mix up tempo, key and and sound density a little bit, IMO. "Drone" is an adjective that comes to mind although some people don't mind that. I prefer to put selected songs on mix CDs where they can really punch up the mix.

way better than i expected.......2004-10-08

I just happened to stumble across this band one day, and now i am completely in love with their music. I read about them in Alternative Press Magazine and heard they sounded similar to AFI, but with a more poppy sound. When i heard "Pop" that turned me off, but i decided to check it out anyway.
I was amazingly impressed by the outcome. I don't normally listen to punk music. I'm more of a fan of hardcore and metal,but this band is definitely worth listening to. Agent M's vocals were thorougly impressing and the guitar work was rather nice. The lyrics were fun and the music-extremely upbeat. They reminded of AFI's older stuff, and sounded somewhat like the Distillers, except more clean sounding vocals, and catchier sounding choruses. If you like fast, punky sounding music, you should buy this album. After all this is a REAL punk band, but they don't sound too much different from you average pop-punk band. However, they are way more original.

Holy Hell........2004-08-29

I love Tsunami Bomb.
I just saw them live recently. If you want to get the full bomb experience, catch them whenever they're in your town. But before you do that, buy the CD. They're an awesome, awesome band. Agent M's voice is great, and the music is awesome and...whoa. Amazing live show. Whoa. I mean, WHOA. Buy this CD. Buy Invasion from Within. Buy tickets to their next show. If you don't your life is meaningless.

Awesome - as expected.......2006-07-18

While this new album is not as good as the other two, expect to hear more of M's awesome vocals, Mike's raw guitar, Gabe's fantastic drumming, and Jay's debut album with the band. The album does not seem to have as much drive and ambition as its predecessors, its still fun to rock out to.

not as good as the older stuff.......2005-10-18

I usually don;t listen to a lot of punk rock. But a friend turned me on to Tsunami Bomb and we saw 'em live at this little dive bar near me. I became a fan, and i think that the lead singer Agent M is totally sweet.

Anyhow, i was excited as hell when I found this album. But as I listened to it, I didn't get into it as much. Something about the earlier ones was really catchy, sing along stuff..this album doesn;t have as much of that. It's still good, and I do really like the song 'Being Alright' (which is real positive), but the rest just felt less polished or structured to me. I still recommend it for punk fans, tho.

better than "the ultimate escape"........2005-10-10

when I first heard "20 going on.." from "the ultimate escape", I knew I had to get to know this band. From that CD, there were some awesome songs in the vein of "20 going on..", but also a couple fillers. With the definitive act, TB has done away with the fillers and put out an album where you can listen to every song with skipping tracks. this band is very unique because their lead singer is a girl and she has a better vocal range than most of the guys in her genre. this is great stuff, and if you liked "the ultimate escape", you'll LOVE definitive act. they just keep getting better!

mindblowing, a must for anyone with a pulse.......2005-08-21

I stumbled upon Tsunami bomb's first record "the ultimate escape" at a local music store last year, and after hearing 20 going on... (which left me floored), I bought the record. It was simply amazing. To make a better record than "the ultimate escape" seemed impossible to me, but a year later TB arrived with "Definitive act", which could almost be, dare I say, better? If you like music, you must hear Agent M's killer vocals combined with TB's signature dark melody. it's freakin' spine-chilling man! I can't imagine my life without tsunami bomb in it. I can't wait until they come to my town! Please, PLEASE find someway to get both of their records. they'll change your f**king life!!! Highly, HIGHLY advised for purchase.

Transcending the Harder Elements of Rock.......2005-05-23

I know there are people out there that hate punk, dismissing it as childish and immature or simply dont put the effort into hearing some of the better bands instead of just generalizing the whole genre from the bands the media markets like to force down peoples eardrums. But as someone who loves every variety of music out there, to the uninitiated Tsunami Bomb is an excellent punk rock band with one of the best female vocalists I've heard this side of R&B, Gwen Stefani has nothing on her. When she does her solo accapella's and then right after comes a nice whiff of guitar and beatwork it will get you two looks everytime you're stopped at an intersection, first WTF then the second time around "hey thats pretty good, who is that?"

I was in the record store today and was getting pretty frustrated that they didnt have anything I was looking for but when I picked up this album 'The Definitive Act' used I thought I would give it a go since I loved their first cd 'The Enemy Within..' that I picked up way back. On my way to work, not even having the volume at very high, I was simply blown away by the first two songs, very addicting punk melodies. I came to find out nothing on this cd is horrible, there might be some subpar songs but they are certainly listenable and far from annoying. In my opinion 'A Lonely Chord' is the pick of the litter, coming off with a modern style beat of old school big city jazz infused with melodic guitar riffs and of course Agent M's ever so highlighting voice orchestrating it altogether. They have more of a poppish feel to their music on this then previous albums, not radio friendly just something thats more appealing to the ear then a good majority of the punk bands out there.

Normally I dont recommend music to others since everyone has such a pathetic undertaste for dismissing certain bands/groups/singers for not being their type of music. But I would think their style transcends, at the very least, all of the harder elements of rock. If you like Metal, Hard Rock, Punk Rock, or anything with a nice attitude to it I would definately recommend Tsunami Bomb to you.

VERY RARELY ONE OF THE GREATEST DVDs : OLD FRIENDS.......2005-12-13

I hail from Singapore where I bought this DVD from my CD/DVD shop. It is a great watch, one that brings sane music into the
living room. You cannot get this kind of quality music and songs nowadays due to the lost direction music is heading towards nowadays in America.

I am full of nostalgia listening to the vintage voices of Paul and Art. I also got emotional because the songs reminded of mthe times I was a child. How I relive those times again and again as I listen to them. The duo emote and provoke a lot of sentiments.

How I wish they would get back together during this
time of their senior years. There will never be another Paul and Art. It takes a long time to produce another original Paul and Art.

Long Live Paul and Art. From : Singapore, 13 December 2005.

slow cd.......2005-09-15

if you like the fast song's then this is not the cd for you but if you want a slow and culm cd so this is the one for you

Depends what you like.........2005-06-15

I am a massive paul and art fan and naturally i bought this. It has a phenonomal set list filled with a nightsworth of enjoyment. However, if you are not a fan of nostalgia this CD will traumatize you. I personally almost fel traumatized to see video and photos of them as young kids and then see them as very old men, men that voices have weakened and look like 2 very old men. On that note, the product is breath taking, and your heart will glow with grace for the duo, but if you ar a fan of simon and garfunkel's literall sound this cd is not for you. The sound quality in it's own is shot and as said before the voidces while still containing gifts have declined. If you are looking for extremely great sound and phenonomal performance thiks is not for you, if you want simon and garfunkel live today with some flaws buy this cd.

Old Friends are STILL Energetic After All These Years!.......2005-05-20

Read the negatives of the other reviews BUT do yourself a favor: even if you're buying this used-it's well worth it! The subtle changes in the arrangements, great musicianship and transitions between the songs (I dare you to not get goosebumps between "My Little Town" and "Bridge..."),effortless vocals that, while occassionally showing their age, flow like you've never heard 'em! And the new song "Citizen of The Planet" is a must have because it speaks to what is happening in our world today.

"Old Friends" is a must for any S&G fan!.......2005-03-07

As one who could not 'afford' to go to see our boys, this DvD brings you there. It is a must buy! You will find yourselves watching it over and over and over again. A great way to see that yes, they are back together, in more ways than on stage. They had fun, being together, singing together and with the audience..advice? Turn off the phone, and for a few songs, get some kleenex handy..Only Living Boy in NY? Paul's emotions alone will get you..it got both of them..Enjoy!!

This modest live album offers a rare glimpse of a truly great Southern singer-songwriter, but it may frustrate fans as much as it intrigues listeners unfamiliar with his work. At his best, Jesse Winchester weaves gospel, folk, blues, and country threads into graceful, intelligent music that reflects his origins in Louisiana, rural Mississippi, and Memphis. He sings in a honeyed drawl about affairs of the heart, small moments of deep feeling, and mysteries of the spirit with a rare balance of clarity and gravity. This set captures Winchester accompanied only by his spare gut-string acoustic guitar, a setting that emphasizes song craft but eclipses his skill at solid ensemble arrangements. The repertoire favors Winchester's more recent output while overlooking or underselling his earlier songs, thus reducing exquisite signatures like "Brand-New Tennessee Waltz" and "Yankee Lady" to pale echoes of their original power and depicting their author as a folk poet instead of the versatile musician his past albums and infrequent tours have revealed. --Sam Sutherland

Purity Of Vision.......2005-06-23

What is it about Jesse Wincheaster's impeccable charm that is so infectious, so uplifting? The simplicity of the writing and the purity of his diction mask a remarkably deft and economic touch which elevates the subtle shifts of desire and loss in relationship to the level of hymn. That's a special reason for supporting his live recording as the voice in this concert is as free to do its work as it is ever likely to be on CD. It vividly recalls the small houses he played to at the Troubadour, Melbourne during the 70s. Though I like some of the brooding work of his early years, such as,'Black Dog', that appears to be buried. The show features some of his classics. Though I doubt his repetoir could fatigue, there are few songs from the 70s when he forged an audience. Importantly, the set concludes with one of them,'Yankee Lady',which serves 30 years on as a double tribute to the Southern roots which have informed his career. Remarkably, in interview some years ago, he admitted to not liking the sound of his recorded voice. While that characteristic self-depreciation often stalks the narrator of his songs, its an opinion few people would share. Certainly not Bob Dylan, who Jesse recalled in that interview as having once met and congratulated him on,'Yankee Lady' and somewhat whelmed over, he replied that he admired Bob's 'Sad Eyed Lady'. There you go.

Like Having Him Play in Your Home.......2004-03-12

I've seen Jesse play solo numerous times in small venues going back to 1975 in Montreal. This recording is just how it is. His sweet understated vocals and minimalist guitar playing just captivate and keep you focused on his every word. If you're a fan but never got to see him in a small club, buy this CD and you'll know exactly what its like. If you never heard of him, buy his studio albums first and then give this a try.

The Heart of Music.......2004-01-13

Jesse has been a part of my life since the early 70's. I bought his first album based on a story in Rolling Stone and immediately became a big fan! For all of these years I have played and sung "Brand New Tennessee Waltz", Defying Gravity and Biloxi. Inevitably when I sing them for someone who hasn't heard them before, they comment on how good the song is and ask if I wrote it. I reluctantly fess up that it is Jesse's and of course they have never heard of him. What a shame that some of the greatest artists never receive the recognition that they deserve.
This album is what music is all about. Great melodic songs and great lyrics with nothing else to get in the way. Yes, I liked his studio stuff with a band also but this just gets in your body and mind in a way that those didn't. The only negative is that it should have been a two CD recording with more of the songs from his first three albums, which I feel are his best.

Simple, understated, extremely powerful.......2003-01-11

I've been a Jesse Winchester fan since his first self-titled (vinyl) album many years ago. I've seen him live a few times. But it wasn't until Strawberry Music festival a couple of years ago that I saw him perform solo. I was curious how he would hold the audience, many of whom hadn't even heard of him. It was almost beyond understanding, how he had the entire crowd hanging on every word, laughing at the most subtle suggestion of humor. This disc re-creates that connection, a rare and magical one that few artists, in the over-produced and synthetically altered musical machine of today can understand, let alone approximate. A great gift to the musical world!

purity of vision.......2002-11-20

What is it about Jesse Winchester's impeccable charm that is so uplifting? The simplicity of writing and the purity of his diction mask a remarkably deft and economic touch which elevates the subtle shifts of desire and loss in relationship to the level of hymn. That's a special reason for supporting his live recording as the voice in this concert is as free to do its work as it is ever likely to be on CD. Though I like some of the brooding work of his early years, such as 'Black Dog', that appears to be buried.( I fantasize what Daniel Lanoise might have done with this moodiness, rather than Todd Rundgren). The show features some of his classics. Though I doubt his repetoir could fatigue, there are few songs from the 70s when he forged an audience. Importantly, the disc concludes with one of them,'Yankee Lady', which serves 30 years on as a double tribute to the southern roots which have informed his career. Remakably, in interview some years ago, he admitted to not liking the sound of his recorded voice. While that characteristic self-depreciation often stalks the narrator of his songs, its an opinion few people would share.

Customer Reviews:

Great.......1999-12-01

This is one of the best Mountain Stage CD's. I agree with the other reviewer, but I want to add a little. It's too bad that you can't sample some of the best songs on this CD. Maura O'Connell's Summerfly is wonderful. My personal favorite is Kathy Mattea's Where Have You Been, it makes me cry every time I hear it! If you are not very lucky in your marriage you won't get it.

Feel-Human Music.......1998-10-31

This is one of my favorite albums. If you needed a category I guess the closest thing would be "folk," but what would that tell you? The best music engages all your faculties, yes? From the dancing shoes to the sixteenth-note-follower to the grin and the tear ducts, all at once. Then it's feel-human music.

John Prine's "Big Old Goofy World." Amazing guitar picking lays the groundwork for, well, goofy, but also touching lyrics about similes: "Mind all your manners / Be quiet as a mouse / Some day you'll have a home / That's as big as a house... There's a big old goofy man / Dancin' with a big old goofy girl / Ooh, Baby! It's a big old goofy world."

"Tank Park Salute" about a man's loss of his father.

"Summerfly"--Maura O'Connell sings the great Cheryl Wheeler song. Jerry Douglas plays his mournful, sparkling, killer-groove Dobro.

"Simply"--Sara Hickman sings: "I'll tell you simply I've / Fallen for you / I've never felt this way before / I don't need flowers and /I don't mind tears..."

Jimmy Dale Gilmore sings, "These Blues ain't nuthin' like the blues I had before I paid a little debt I owed--When I get theses blues I just look back down that road."

The singers on this album approach & sometimes cross the borders of rude, sappy, and dumb. Like human beings with things to say. And boy, can some of them play.
