    One might say this one is nothing special.. a standard album track. But, released as a single as it was, back in 1985, this one is rather overlooked. Just listen to the simple details - great blend of the voices, it's a nice swinging live rendition of a classic, if lighthearted pop effort of a song. One of the really underrated gems from one of the slightly overrated albums, IMO. (Audio only - sorry)

    ^ That would depend on what the rest of such imaginary band ("Stevie Nick and the Lacebreakers") would look like. But I like the idea as such.. Her music and persona and his temper and touch is a good match. Then again, so was the musical match between SL and TP (even if TP apparently didn't think so, or appreciated it, and even if their personal differences eventually got the best of them and the music was demoted to secondary priority). And that goes to show how a musical match made in heaven is not a guarantee. I have no idea how Stevie and Stan would work on a personal level, but at least in theory it's a fun thought.

    Anyway.. Here's yet another one that didn't make it quite this way...

    Hey, thanks for that post! Certainly a favorite album and a favorite artist. The Shannon band being where TP picked up Howie, makes the connection even stronger. As if the Drop Down And Get Me album, the "Me and Del were singing" and Rock On! wasn't enough. Del certainly would have added some much needed flavor on Traveling Wilburys Vol 3 and beyond, had he kept on living. Too bad we, the rock fans, lost him the way we did.  

    Agreed, the The Heartbreakers' playing on DDAGM is fantastic. I hold this and Cash's Unchained as two of the very best Heartbreakers albums of all, ahead of several of the TP&TH albums in fact. I don't have the fine prints on session dates, but I think it's commonly known that work on Drop Down And Get Me, at least idea, the early stages of song writing and so on, began as early as 1978, when Shannon quit some of his habits (drinking and what have you) and supposedly hit a phase of inspiration of sorts. It's also often mentioned how the album took the better part of two years to record and that TP was key from the start. And if that is so, we are at least back in 1980 and thus certainly before or at least simultaneous with Hard Promises, sure. Not that they are totally alike on all levels, but I see what you're getting at, definately.

    For those of you not familiar with what we're talking about (if that is possible?!), here's what the album was kicked off with.. Classic Shannon/Petty:

     

    And here's a live version.. different band.. but check out the young bass player, folks!

    I don't know how interesting this is to the Farmers, but given how key them working together has been over the years - a reccuring thing to happen and loved by fans on both sides and music fans in general - I was thinking this could be the place to post good, interesting, classic or obscure photage, videos and sound clips featuring TP and Stevie Nicks together..

    I'll start with a few tidbits from the early days, that is probably not among the most common things you've ever heard... Ottakes from Stevie's and Heartbreakers' session reels from 1980. Unreleased music history in the making that I find deeply fascinating myself. I'll add more later.

    Enjoy! And keep adding your own TP & SN moments on here

    ^ :D Don't expect to win big on playing those odds.

    Since a varied setlist does not seem to be in the stars for whatever TP shows the future holds - oh, now we are talking betable odds for winning big!!!!* - I actually would like if, for the big 40, they had the guts to scrap any live plans for a tired hits revue the old no brainer way and just hit the road with Mudcrutch instead. As if 2016 is nothing special at all. Or just hit us with some peeks into the vaults of recordings. Or a new album. Anything. I dare them. ;)

    ^ Seymour, yes, like I said, it really should be him.

    As for evident connection later than the 70s.. There is only what was news to me and what made me start this thread: TP being on the DT track "Girls" from 1984. I know of nothing of a later date either.

    Don't know for sure. I find this interesting though, since it turns out TP is actually credited as playing guitar on one of the studio recorded song of DT's from the era as well (Looking For Magic). According to "the internets" the guys playing on the tour prior to the album "Twilley Don't Mind" (on which both Chance To Get Away and Looking For Magic were officially released, in late 1977) were: DT, Phil Seymour, Bill Pitcock IV, Bingo Sloan and Rob Armstrong. Then on the album there's the same bunch, sans Armstrong, plus a few additional session guys, incl. TP. I can find no mention of Rhodes.

    I forgot:  I would include "It's Rainin' Again"

    Interesting. To me that is one of the throw-aways of their recording history. And not many of those - the ones on my list, that is - actually made it to an actual album. I wouldn't let this one rain on my parade either, so to speak. Really? You like it that much? Hu. (Would you put Heartbreaker's Beach Party on LAD as well?)

     

    Thanks.  Definitely prefer the Torpedoes version.

    Oh, for sure. That's not an issue. :)

    Ok, just stumbled upon this.. Thus I just had to find this thread and get it back to topic. I mean, just look at this handsome bass player here.. Really nice sound too!

    Never heard or seen this video before myself. Hope you will enjoy this rare piece of photage.

    Getting either a ten minute mile or under on the indoor track.

    Go with the under, I say!

    Party time, My aunt is 102 years old!!!!!!!!

    How cool is that! Hope she had a wonderful day!

     

    As for today.. I need to listen to the vinyl edition of the Mudcrutch LP, been way too long and I start to feel excited about maybe eventually there will be more coming up!

    Another theory:

    The will release a box set including WF All The Rest for next year's 40th anniversary. They won't have a new Heartbreakers record to release, so they'll dig in the vaults and give us - maybe a double album - maybe a fancy box set - of unreleased gems.

    If it wasn't for what's been said about ATR already being finished, just waiting for a go from upstairs, theoretically I like your theory. Perhaps it could then be an "ATR 70s + ATR 80s + ATR 90s + ATR 00s" kind of box? Only.. with today's label SOP such a box won't be ready for release until the 50th Anniversary at the very earliest. But I remember where I heard about it first.

    Guess I much rather they just quit their procrastinating tardy ways and release the freaking thing as it is, right now.
