Recorded | June–November 1981 at Townhouse Studios in London |
Genre | Progressive rock, pop rock |
Length | 44:22 |
Label | Geffen |
Producer | Mike Stone |
Asia’s self-titled debut is the #1 album in the U.S on this date in 1982. The supergroup has guitarist Steve Howe (Yes), keyboardist Geoff Downes (Yes), bassist John Wetton (King Crimson) and drummer Carl Palmer (Emerson, Lake & Palmer). 1982
ps RJA.. great post! thanks
When I’m…
“Dippin” – anything with Marvin Gaye singing alongside Tammi Terrell for sure, then there’s: Future Games (title track from the 1971 album*, “Hypnotized” (from Bare Trees 1972)*, “Sentimental Lady” (from Mystery to Me 1972)*; and most anything from The French Kiss album 1977. While the first three all were credited as/on Fleetwood Mac albums and the later being his own solo album; make no mistake – the common denominator of it all was Mr. Bob Welch. *No doubt an artistic genius, arguably one could say Fleetwood Mac merely played out as his backup band over that four year span of 71-75.
(and if she’s real good and I'm reaI’ good then… Things could lead up to some…)
“Deeper Dippin” – “Do You Feel Like I Do”; “Lines on My Face”; “Baby I Love Your Way” – Peter Frampton (from Frampton Comes Alive 1976); “Europa” Carlos Santana -any of the live versions from various 1976-1978); “Stormy Monday” The Allman Brothers (from Live At The Fillmore East 1971).
Lippin, Flippin, Rippin or perhaps just` Quippin – “Bara O’Riley”; “Behind Blue Eyes”; “Won’t Get Fooled Again” (from Who’s Next, The Who 1971); Who Are You? the title track from the 1978 Who album. "Hocus Pocus" by Focus (Moving Waves 1971)“That Smell” – Lynryd Skynrd (from Street Survivors 1977), or jumping a couple decades, to “Special” (2.0 Version album by Garbage featuring Shirley Manson) yeehah!
Hippin’ – No short stories here. How about some “Eyes of the World” Grateful Dead (like 28 minutes worth) or “The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys” ( Traffic 1973); “Stairway to Heaven” (from IV (ZOSO) 1971); or “In The Light”; “Down By The Seaside”; and “Ten Years Gone” all by Led Zepplin of course (all from the Physical Graffiti album 1975).
or if I’m….
Sippin’, Nippin’ or Trippin’ (otherwise known as escaping reality) There’s the Dark Side of The Moon album (1973) or “Shine On You Crazy Diamond” (from Wish You Were Here 1975) all by Pink Floyd; “Close To The Edge” (1972) by Yes; or “Trilogy” by Emerson, Lake and Palmer (from the album From The Beginning 1972). Note..There’s just too many to list as I certainly donated a lot of good quality time to that “e.r.” thing.
I know I missed a lot but the last thing I’ll say is; to me music is what helps my heart push my life blood through my veins. I don’t care who I’m with or what I’m doing – I can always relate something to a song. When I hear a person say they were never into music. Man that kills me. What those people have been missing their entire life, if they only knew.
Now ask me what songs I’d rather be bitten by a scorpion, then have to listen to…. Ah a list for another day. Thank you. RJA

I'm listening and watching a DVD : "The Doobie Brothers Live at Wolf Trap". It was filmed in 2004 just after the Doobies reunited. Most of the original members are present, especially the front men : Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons, and John McFee.
The quality of their harmonies is unbelievable, you swear it's 1975 again. Much as I like the Beach Boys, The Eagles, Three Dog Night, or Crosby Stills & Nash , NO group can harmonize like the Doobies. ! To listen to the opening of "Another Park Another Sunday" just gives the goosebumps.
Anyone heard this disc ? If so how did you like it

I cannot recall it but then I have listened to thousands over the years. Lol. Thanks for sharing.
