Have you heard the live version of Stairway to Heaven by Zappa? Well worth downloading (oops)

Witness-Before The Calm
Good call these guys are from my home town, in fact I had coffee with Ray Chan's (guitar)brother this afternoon, alas they are no more though. and i thought I was the only person in the world that owned this.

witness is no more? seriously?
before the calm is a masterpiece.
saw em live a coupla years ago. memorable show.

Went to Witness' last gig at the Borderline last December. Its criminal that they never made it bigger. Had a few photo opportunities with the guys and a few beers after, a real nice bunch...ive seen em a good few times over the years. Its only the name that will be no more..apparently Gerard will carry on under the solo name Gerard Starkie but Ray and the rest of the guys will still be the backing band. I just think they wanted a fresh approach and there was some sort of stigma attached to the name Witness. Im always on the web looking for new shows but there has been nothing since last December. I have sent Two Tone Tommy a copy of Before the Calm...so you never know they may get a support slot on the next MMJ tour...well we can all dream. Hopefully Gerard will carry on playing the old Witness tunes.
.What about Wigans Verve..see Ashcroft walking around much...now that is one band i wish stayed split up.I used to love the Verve, went to see them back in 92 in small venues all over London..50 people etc..Mad Richard was fantastic..all the singles and the first two albums were great ...Ashcroft had a real good spirit going on...They then split and were no more only for Oasis to stick their noses in and they reformed...it was never the same again..You started to find Beer Monsters and Lads at the gigs..typical Oasis fans..it was never the same..back in 94 i had a wonderful demo version of Drugs dont work...acoustic and raw...it made you weep. It then got to number one back in 97...crazy. Im not knocking them as they deserve success, but somehow the spirit was lost when they reformed. I remember going to see Oasis in Southend in 1995 (you can buy the gig dvd "live by the sea")and the Verve were supporting..we got to the gig early, for me it was more important to see Verve..Ashcroft flapped about the stage -Jim Style Shoeless..pouting and all boggly eyed...half the crowd were screaming get of you f'ing wierdo..crap etc..there was nearly a few fisty cuffs ...only words were exchanged in the end though. I bet half them people at that gig now own a copy of Urban Hymns...just because the Oasis brothers said go out and buy it...long live Witness...Long live Verve 91-95.

This is great I had no idea they were this popular! You're right they are a great bunch of lads, I spent many teenage Saturday afternoons in their practice room, oh the days.........I knew Gerard was still playing but Ray's brother thinks he may be off to Hong Kong to teach English for a while, lets hope he stays.
 I know what you mean about the verve the early small gigs were amazing, 'A Northern Soul' is one of my favourite albums ever. I haven't seen Richard for a long time, I moved away from Wigan 10 years ago, a friend of mine (who used to play harmonica for Status Quo!) is now his manager and brought the band down to my club last time he played Liverpool but Richard didn't come. Nick is back from Spain and living in Bristol not far from the Witness boys in Bath, Ray and Nick were really good mates, if they were to jam now I'd pay to see that!

don't think they're that popular. there were only a handfull of people at that show back in uh, 1999 I think... and I never hear em on the radio or anything. anyway, they're great and good to hear Starkie is still makin music!

Witness - Before the calm

Hey, I have that album! Picked it out of a Sales bin once for 1 euro. Ehm... Yeah, it's got some nice tunes on it, but as a whole I wouldn't call it a masterpiece. Some songs are somewhat boring, I think. But maybe I should dust of my copy and give it another chance, if you're all so enthousiastic about it! :)

[MMJ_fanatic]

just an aside--the new ish of EW has "London Calling" as the greatest album of all time.  I have mixed feelings about that, I really like that disc but it is not my #1.  still a pretty good pick for a vanilla rag like them...

London Calling will make my list of 10 favorites.  It might even make it to number 1. The other contenders are Every Picture Tells a Story, an MMJ and a Led Zeppelin album.

I need to ponder it a bit more to figure it out.  I plan to listen to them all quite loudly this weekend while I work around the house, drink a Guinness or two, and resolve the matter peacefully and profoundly.

[SmoothOprtr]

I don't think I saw one list with Appitite for Destruction on it which is insane!  Rounding out the top ten:

The Wall- Floyd
Wish You were Here- Floyd
Parinoid- Sabbath
The Doors
And Justice For All- Metallica
Led Zepplin IV
Who Can You Trust- Morcheeba
The Number of the Beast- Iron Maiden
Pop- U2


Hon Mention: Crash- DMB, Rumors- F. Mac, Sad Wings of Destiny- J. Priest, Older, George Michael, anything by Sinatra, Coltrane, or Miles Davis

[Jellyfish]

The new reissues of "Live at San Quentin" & "Live at Folsom Prison" on CD has the entire show,the LP'S/Albums are choice songs to make it fit onto a 33 1/3 LP.

The new reissues are great,with much better sound.
