What SMOKING music are you listening to? (2026)

Trivia, Pt II: Although thrilled to have Mark Knopfler playing on the song, Al was disappointed in the final recording because Mark had been touring that song and playing it every night, thus it had morphed into more of a looser stage version, whereas Al's band played it spot-on, note for note, nuance for nuance -- which is what he was looking for.
The plot thickens. The original version had Knopfler on guitar but as @kann mentioned it wasn't the same as the original so what you are hearing is Weird Al's guitarist Jim West doing most of the note for note guitar work.

On Wednesday I posted the Tedeschi-Trucks Band tribute version of The Letter from Joe Cocker's 1970 release of Mad Dogs & Englishmen, They did the whole album so if you get a chance give it a listen.

Today for Live Friday we go to the original recorded live at the Fillmore East and released in 1970. IMO one of the best live albums in Rock history. The link should play the whole album.

Live Friday: I saw Ghost live back in 2013 or so, back in the Papa II days. It was a little club in Germany. Tobias Forge always had a vision for what he wanted the band and its performances to become, and it is now being realized. Ghost is on my very short list of bands I still want to see -- I consider them still unseen because it's a totally different show than 12-15 years ago. I'd love to hear them with arena sound, now!

The vocals remind me of Scorpions
