I just found this sucker on Amazon. I have spent more money on music this year than I have since I was a teenager, holy heck. Between some Rush anniversary releases, The Mothers 1970 and Zappa Halloween 81, four BOC live releases and their respective blu rays, plus remastered Cult Classic and a new album in October. I have to cut down on my spending, but everything good is coming out this year. Maybe I'll just have a lot of ramen for a few months lol. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DBHCYXJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

Sadly this boxed set doesn't cover their first two albums, just the last Peter Green one and then all the ones before Buckingham/Nicks joined. So a good amount of the Spencer/Kirwan/Welch era. But to me that's their best stuff. I loved Peter Green and he was a genius, BUT Then Play on was really his best work, and I already have the first three on record, plus a Live in 68 recording which is pretty boss |

And I also have the 4 disc The Chain boxed set from Fleetwood Mac. The only thing I'm missing is the stuff from the middle lineup which I've only streamed before and never owned copies of, but it really has my favorite stuff. Bare Trees is just a woefully underrated album. To me it's like... Cultosaurus Erectus. Cultosaurus Erectus/Bare Trees are genius, but everybody talks about Agents of Fortune/Rumours. ALL of them are great albums, but ignoring the rest over the biggest is like missing the forest for the trees

I maintain that the one album they did after LB left in ‘87, Behind the Mask, with Rick Vito and Billy Burnette on guitar, has some solid stuff on it. I know it often gets panned or not mentioned at all.

I know it often gets panned or not mentioned at all. That's a good one. I personally don't think they made a bad album until Time. And even so, the highest season-long batting average ever recorded in MLB history was STILL under 50% from 180 games. So I suppose if you have a 50+ year career, only one bad album means you're still a damn good band Edited for clarification: That is to say if you're hitting almost half of what they're throwing at you, you're incredible. I know it's a bad metaphor since they're entirely different skills and success is measured differently, I just love sports metaphors lol. |

I associate cultausorus with going for the one of yes , 2 fresh and bright albums deadline should be played in concert ! |

Deadline performed live is my ultimate request to Buck in case I'd discover I'm gonna die
he only performed it once with the Buck Dharma Band way back in 1997
such a great tune

When I'm in an 80's mood I go Fire, when I'm in a 70's mood I go Cultosaurus.* Even though both were in the early 80's that separation of one year is almost like two entirely different eras. That's kind of what I love best about them, too. You could play Mirrors, then Cultosaurus Erectus, then Fire of Unknown Origin for a random person, then try to tell them they were released by the same band one year apart each, and you'd sound ridiculous. Somebody's only ever heard Reaper, play them Seven Screaming Diz-Busters and see if they believe you when you tell them it's the same band. *I know it was released in '80, but it FEELS very 70's lol |

Deadline sounds like a Stranglers' track to my ears. the last couple of truly great albums from the boys, I should label them both as "space rock" although I know it's a trivial and over-simplifying kind of pidgeon-holing them my own two cents, 'course |

Synths certainly dominated the 80's but the sparing use of them on Black Blade, and Allen's use of them (although sporadic) throughout the 70's never made me feel like this was more like an 80's song. |

There is video of both. I recently found the Buckhead video (It's not as good as the Ricky Show!) Now I need a camera to play it on ;-) ;-) 5:35 Video was the very first one I worked on and it was on the original film distributed in 1998. Would love to provide a compilation DVD...the original Miracles DO Happen, Take One, The Original Concert video's, the re-edited video's I did with Daryl and put to Stereo (Most of the show is on BuckDharma YouTube Channel) and the Stereo Concert. Of course, the Beatles tunes and I fought The Law are sticklers on licensing. Warped dream is to raise funds for my Bike MS Habit :-) |
