There was an early 80s Liverpool band called The Yachts. They weren’t Yacht Rock though, more Elvis Costello and The Attractions...minus Elvis Costello. 😅
DeLIVErin’’ by Poco is a fantastic album, thanks for mentioning it my friend. Great to see a couple of drunken vinyl lovers having a good time together.
Loosen Up Naturally - one of those great albums no one has heard of. Remember listening with musician friends in the summer of ‘69, along with the Crosby Stills & Nash album.
Mazzy , this is a late comment but I really enjoyed seeing you and Coffee Dave just pick the records that you both wanted. Maybe if you like you can have a segment now and then ( now and then ) where you just pick what you want . Just an idea 💡 Peace ✌️ & Love ❤️ as Ringo would say 😊
I saw the Doobie Brothers in July, 1977 at the Von Braun Civic Center in Huntsville, AL. Unbeknownst to me, Michael McDonald had joined the band, replacing Tom Johnston. When McDonald started singing the lead on Long Train Running in his distinctive style we were all going what the hell is this? I saw Poco in the early 80's at a small venue whose name I don't recall in Birmingham, AL. They were a very polished band and I couldn't believe they were playing for maybe 200 people. Their songs Crazy Love and Under the Gun had both gotten some radio airplay. They became known as the farm team for the Eagles as Randy Meisner and Timothy Schmidt both came from Poco.
OMG, what a riot, you guys made my day. Great to See Coffee Dave again. Going to check out The Sons Of Champlin and that Verve series. Now, where's Coffee Julie?
Great episode Mazzy and Coffee Dave. Director William Friedkin apparently wanted Tangerine Dream to do The Exorcist soundtrack or theme song but went with Mike Oldfield and then decided to go with TD for The Sorcerer. Would have been a very interesting sound and feel if they did The Exorcist.
Great episode lads lmao!!! Nice to see the two of back together having a laugh.. made my morning thanks guys.. I think maybe mazzy you should go to coffee daves place and do a episode from his collection..just a thought, lol k have a great weekend and thanks cheers
And now for something completely different... two slightly inebriated gentlemen, of a certain age, discuss the music of the 70's without regard to how much their heads will hurt in the morning. God I love America! And yes that is a great documentary. Cheers.
@@willfitzpatrick1107 I will say this: this was after only two drinks. In fact we are both on our second here, and you can see how full the glasses (at least mine) are. I know I’m sounding defensive here and maybe I am. But I rarely ever have more than two drinks. But drink even one , I seem to get a bit animated, and, as you see, maybe a bit goofy. Dave, can speak for himself. Thanks for joining the party 🥃
Jazzy Cherie! I don’t know if it counts as yacht rock, but it’s perfection for sitting on the back deck , while the boat is parked (berthed?) in St Tropez sippin’ on martinis I refer of course to Nouvelle Vague’s version of “ God save the Queen” and “too drunk to fuck” lovely
Fun show! The discussion on whether Steely Dan fell into the Yacht Rock genre made me laugh. Outside of Michael McDonald’s presence on several Dan albums, I don’t see it. Steely Dan’s music is more complex and their lyrical content is way too dark or bizarre to consider Yacht Rock. That said, I wish Donald Fagen had a sense of humor about the matter. Absolutely loved your mentioning Booker T and the MG’s take on Abbey Road. The band is brilliant as always, but the real revelation on this album is the drumming of the late, great Al Jackson. Good stuff.
Good one Mazzy. The Sons of Champlin was released with “fuck off “ scrawled on the cover in tiny letters. Capitol recalled all the albums and the offending words were scratched out.
The idea that one of the requirements to be classified as Yacht Rock was that critics hated it is at least partially revisionist history. I recall that some major critics gushed over Michael McDonald after he joined the Doobie Brothers, a band most critics had previously dismissed. If my memory is correct, pretty much all of the major critics gushed over the Minute by Minute album, even though it caused a lot of long time Doobie fans to abandon them.
Yogi Phlegm? I thought I had heard the worst of band names by now. Damn. Fun video. Good to see Coffee Dave. But…Steely Dan is the very definition of Yacht Rock according to the filmmakers of Yacht Rock featuring the people who came up with the term Yacht Rock. You’re welcome to have your own take. But the documentary could not be any clearer on this. And you know it!
Santa Monica yacht harbor music. My buddy Keith got an offer to play The Troubadour when he was lead guitar at the Boathouse (SM pier). Westside young people north of Wilshire Bl. during the early '60s were very conscious of style, and most had money - the idle rich.
Ah, the great Terry Reid also known as "Superlungs". Also recommended is "Seed Of Memory" which is produced by Graham Nash who also harmonizes on the record. There are some terrific recent live performances by Terry Reid on TH-cam and his voice is still phenomenal.
Sticking with Beatle inspired covers , here’s one you may or may not know , ARMITAGE ROAD , the heshoo beshoo group, African jazz from over 50 yrs ago , I have a new reissue.
Tangerine Dream- Phaedra. Could've been the soundtrack of a very dark horror movie. For me, their masterpiece, although Rubycon, Sorcerer and Stratosfear come close. The classic lineup: Edgar Froese, Chris Franke and Peter Baumann.
@ Of the later more commercial stuff, I love Force Majeure, Exit and the live double Poland. There’s also a 12” single edit from Poland- “Warsaw in the Sun Parts 1 and 2” that gets into your head and won’t get out and a single re-recording of a track from Encore called “Monolight” that just might be my all time favorite TD song. Yes, I’m a bit of an obsessive when it comes to classic German electronic music (see also, Klaus Schulze’s Timewind)
@@mazzysmusicAn album that is hard to find , on CD only was “Turn of the Tides”. More guitar oriented than most of TD’s other stuff. Give it a listen if you can get a copy.
Mazzy, one of your best episodes. Coffee Dave really brings you out of your shell. Fun video. Thanks, Chris
Agreed! Plus the damn fine whiskey help a bit too 😊
There was an early 80s Liverpool band called The Yachts. They weren’t Yacht Rock though, more Elvis Costello and The Attractions...minus Elvis Costello. 😅
Thanks for Terry Reid! How did I miss that. Catching up now.
Welcome back Coffee Dave! You’re the Vinyl Man!
It has been awhile since!!! Thanks Dizzy!!
Glad to see Coffee Dave. I missed him. Him and Coffee Karen are my favorites.
Nice episode guys, so many cool records. I need to get that Macklemore Avenue record. Craft is such a great label, and always very affordable.
Ozark Mountain Daredevils…”If You Wanna Get To Heaven…You Gotta Raise A Little Hell”
Don't know that one!
@@mazzysmusic I bet you’d know it if you hear it. Pretty popular on FM…it was their single before Jackie Blue
Jackie Blue
Wow!! Everyone singing in the VC now!! Hahaha… love seeing Coffee Dave back in action! ☘️
We need to start our own Glee Club. Maybe !!
Always good to see Coffee Dave!
☕️🥃
Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time
He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine.
I think Coffee Dave.... was drinkin' more than coffee that particular day. One of the better Whack-A-Moles that I have seen....
🤷🏻♂️🥃
Hey Mazzy. Great Video. Super fun. The Sons Of Champlin, such a great band. Terry Reid is so good! Cheers
It’s all so good. Cheers Bobby 🥂
Good to see you both in a brand new Whack-A-Mole :) A lot of great stuff, always very inspiring. Cheers!
Our pleasure!✌🏼
DeLIVErin’’ by Poco is a fantastic album, thanks for mentioning it my friend. Great to see a couple of drunken vinyl lovers having a good time together.
Love that Tangerine Dream. The 1974 (Phaedra) to 1980 (Tangram) period is one of the best runs of any group I own.
Mazzy , when your friend said hey Siri. Siri came on my iPad.
I got into John Simon because of you Mazzy, so thanks again.
Great video Mazzy! Great fun with Coffee Dave.Thanks man!
Glad you enjoyed it✌🏼
I was beginning to worry about coffee Dave, glad he's well and enjoying life.
Loosen Up Naturally - one of those great albums no one has heard of. Remember listening with musician friends in the summer of ‘69, along with the Crosby Stills & Nash album.
Yes it is so good!
Entertaining as ever. It sort of felt Whack A Mole was being photo bombed.
🤠🤡
If you wanna get to heaven was Ozark 's first hit in 73. If I only knew in 75 also . It’s actually a beautiful single that didn't chart too high up.
I think I’m good 🤠
Welcome back, Coffee Dave!
YES!
Excellent episode, really enjoyed it. Whoever choose the Woodford Reserve knows their Bourbon. My Favorite.
@@TheChickenDinnerSpinner 🤠🥃

When Dave is on, I light up some lamb’s bread and fill a glass with Meomi pinot noir.
They works✌🏼
Coffee points for Coffee Dave for the low shelf grab!
Dave,what a great sidekick
@@saschaheusingfeld801 he is a good friend ❤️🔥

The McDoobie Brothers are the epitome of Yacht Rock.

Coffee Dave is likely a cia guy. Drops in. Leaves. Man of mystery.
Great job fellas. Your secret is safe with the VC Dave.
Hi Jason

It sure is!☕️🥃
He’s back! ❤
Great to see Dave, that lads a legend! Well handled last night BTW, nicely diffused! 🙂
@@Harrispilton22 always great to hear from you Sir Pilton. Yeah a wild ride; that 😎
I have thst booker t lp , bought it yrs ago , because of the Beatles connection
The album, 7, is my favorite POCO album. I think they are the true beginning of that country rock sound, imho.
Great episode lads lmao!!! Nice to see the two of back together having a laugh.. made my morning thanks guys.. I think maybe mazzy you should go to coffee daves place and do a episode from his collection..just a thought, lol k have a great weekend and thanks cheers

“2 drink minimum” !!!
🥃🥃
OMG how many had yall had before you filmed this?????? LOL
One
I don't recall 'Jackie Blue' sounding like that. 🤔
We tried.
"..there's no Peter Cetera with this shit...alright.." 😆
Yup🤓🤠
Booker T and the MG’s album was 1970
Yeah I figured it out and recording ✌🏼

Where is Dr. Robert. He is M.IA. too?
I like what Dave said, I just don’t understand any of it 🤷♂️. ❤️Dave.
Hahaha 🤠
Some bottom shelf pulls. Nice.
Top shelf whisky. Bottom shelf records 🥃
Chinese Eyes is a ripping album - have been playing it a lot recently
Walt Kelly, who drew Pogo, threatened to sue them, so Poco changed their name.
Thanks 🤠
Kelly was dead by then. It was his wife who objected.
@ I misremembered. It’s been a long time.
He is right about the “Bluesville” stuff. I have 5 of them, all great.
So good
Coffee Dave, always enjoyable, when he joins you Mazzy.
Its always fun!
Who sings that song whisky river take my liver?
Mazzy demonstrates how to handle a glass of bourbon and inform coherently 👍
Maybe 🙂
To use a Mazzy buzzword-Coffee Dave-Sublime. Great stuff gents.
Sublime indeed! 🎸
Ah, the great Terry Reid also known as "Superlungs". Also recommended is "Seed Of Memory" which is produced by Graham Nash who also harmonizes on the record. There are some terrific recent live performances by Terry Reid on TH-cam and his voice is still phenomenal.
I’ll check those out. Thanks 🤠

I see drunk people.😆

Wow tremendous content
Start hitting the bottom row, Mazzy!
Why the hell coffee Dave is drinking whiskey, at least Irish coffee
Is that like Lou Reed and Berlin? Coffee Dave playing the Donnie role in The Big Lebowski.
Two pissed blokes talking shit about music. My perfect afternoon 🍻
🤠🤷🏻♂️
Obviously, a good Mexican dinner, chimichurri sauce on the beard Mazzy .
🤠
Do a Patreon with Coffee Dave. I’ll be the FIRST subscriber.
Tangerine Dream- Phaedra. Could've been the soundtrack of a very dark horror movie. For me, their masterpiece, although Rubycon, Sorcerer and Stratosfear come close. The classic lineup: Edgar Froese, Chris Franke and Peter Baumann.

Funny stuff 😂
