Astral Weeks/Moondance

Yes, surely Richard Davis playing bass. And how!!

I looked him up on Wiki just now, and see that Greil Marcus described his playing on ‘Astral Weeks’ as ‘the greatest bass playing to appear on a rock album’.

Sorry, my mistake.

Greil stole that line from me. :grinning:

Great choice of TB Sheets, which was covered by John Lee Hooker later.

Also the version of Madame George as a r&b singalong is pretty interesting.

I’ve looked for a footnote from Greil Marcus, acknowledging your source, but I don’t see it, oddly enough.
