David Lee Roth - Mississipi Power. (non LP track)

[Seshmeister]

Wow!!

That song has one of the best guitar solos of any solo Roth, period!

Awesome...

Makes the song WAY better...

I thought it was ok. In fact it took me a minute to realise you were being sarcastic...

[lesfunk]

I prefered the first time.


Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Chorus:
Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Up in Memphis the music's like a heatwave
White lightening, bound to drive you wild
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

chorus

Every word of every song that he sang was for you
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon, what could
you do?

(Solo)

chorus repeats 2x

If you please, if you please, if you please

[GreenBayLA]

lesfunk, people already said that about...



DLR is getting mileage off that groove.

My big computer is down for collection and therefore, I had forgotten about this song. This song is long enough to be able to get into a groove when working the sticks. o0 Though, I am not supposed to be "exercising" my arms yet... Perhaps I will just reflectively visualize my wellness ... Or maybe not use the sticks. Anyway, I love this song.

This is good.
An artist should permeate (pardon the pun) every aspect of life, if you have planned to relieve yourself when certain songs of David’s plays, you are part of the sculpture. Your every move is proscribed. :P
You may not realize it but songs are created to make people behave in certain patterns. Being the observer that I am, I would create songs specifically designed t effect behavior patterns. Moreover, certain songs are placed in a set to lessen the burden on the performers. It is known that playing a river sound after a long hard set will compel a significant part of the audience to visit the stalls.
The river sound is played, the audience moves about, afterwards the band and staff can return to attending a hard driving audience with a focused intent.
I would explain more, however, I do not have the discourse handy.

Please raise your hand and ask for a hall pass, if you need to visit the restroom.

Just discovered this track. In fact, it is what led me to this board. I wish they would have tacked it on to the remaster of Your Filthy Little Mouth.
