Thanks Tim.
Never heard of Space Elevator but I like it.
Like it enough to investigate further.

Cheers
Martin

Thanks Martin, here is Space Elevator covering Queen's "Innuendo"...

And a rather rough but fun version of Rush's "Spirit of Radio"...

Here is one for John @Trainfish , I normally don't go for tribute bands (bar a few exceptions); however, I thought this was interesting. I liked "Atom Heart Mother" and probably bought it after hearing "Meddle" and "Ummagumma" (pre DSOTM). See what you think...

PS Dapol have a few offers on Class 50s"!


 

I'm not a huge fan of tribute bands either unless of course they are very very good or I've never seen the original band. That is a very good version Tim.
We went to see this guy last weekend at the Southgate in Devizes. I'm not a huge fan of looping either especially when it's used to the extent he uses it but if you shut your eyes and listened at this gig, and I frequently did, then it was very good. And free. Not many people can do decent Floyd tracks on their own hence the looping.


Ps, where are these class 50s? I looked on the Dapol site but only saw 3. 2 of which were DCC sound and a green one.

Thank John @Trainfish , I will listen to the video later. The two Class 50s were under special offers but not really bargains (IMO).

Cheers,

Tim

Still listening to this band, 50 years ago I bought Argus.

No one listening to the Pogues ?

Just announced, Wishbone Ash, ok so it's just Andy Powell from the original band and 3 others, will be playing the Corn Exchange in Devizes supported by Ruzz Guitar who I have seen many times in October 2024.

I was at the gig below:

Yep, I had that album. Great cover!

Dunno what happened to it, though

Yep, I really like Wishbone Ash.
Argus was indeed a great album.

Here's a great little band that I've seen a couple of times in the last 25 years.

Andrew, you have inspired me to have a listen to early PG. "So" was my favourite but I have never been a huge fan. I did have a quick listen to "i/vo" - not sure either, perhaps a bit unfair but these days if a piece of music doesn't grab my attention straight away it tends to be a "miss"...

Cheers,

Tim

This is my all time favourite Gabriel track and you don't ses many artists preform whilst riding a pushbike around the stage either. It still surprises me how many people think this track is about Salisbury rather than Solsbury Hill though. I met a hippy type couple once on Pepperbox Hill just outside Salisbury who believed they were on Solsbury Hill. I politely explained to them they would have to drive their old battle bus to Batheaston to find the actual hill. I think they had also partaken in some form of illegal substance so I have no idea if they made it there but they did leave me and my then girlfriend in peace 

Thanks for posting John @Trainfish , Peter Gabriel's departure from Genesis resulted in Genesis producing (IMO) their finest album in "A Trick of the Tail" and an excellent debut from Peter Gabriel; which, bore little resemblance Genesis (I had it on vinyl at long time ago).

Cheers,

Tim
