Yep - Rory is one of the all time greats. Gone too soon but he sure left a legacy.

I once read that a reporter asked Jimi Hendrix what it was like to best rock guitar player in the world? Jimi's reply was 'I wouldn't know - go ask Rory Gallagher that question'

Well, our guests have gone, the wife has crashed and I thought I'd do away with "shuffle songs" and go for some floyd, DSM, while I tidy up. Loving it to bits and all that, but the tracks are coming up all in the wrong order, which on many albums wouldn't matter a dot, but on this one... no way - it's just wrong! Vinyl does have its advantages for us ol' gits.

(why doesn't my spellchecker recognise "gits"?)
Title: Re: what are you listening to at the moment?
Post by: Mustermark on March 26, 2011, 09:23:04 PM
I think gits is now a recognized term.  Generally related to grumpy old mean and folks like us lot.

While I'm on this thread... I'm listening to Kick It by The Breakfastaz, currently one of my favourites.  It's breakbeat bass.  Dance music.  But, don't worry, it will never replace Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd as my all time favourite.

I have about 2100 tracks on my MP3 player, slowly increasing. These days, I just tend to use the 'Rarely Heard' or 'Random Play All' options, so I never know what's coming up (even though I known what's on it, if you see what I mean).

So I can get something by Led Zep, The Fall, Pixies, The Libertines, The Beatles, lots of other 60s/70s stuff...or Bach, Beethoven or Mozart, or a spot of jazz or R&B. Or maybe 16th century lute or flamenco.

I really enjoy having multiple styles interposed like this. In fact I'm not sure I could listen to a complete album of any one band or composer now...must be something to do with my failing attention span.

Just heard a remix of Adele's Set fire to the rain by moto blanco - radio edit (dont ask lots of young people in this house), absolutely superb. Mind you after reading this subject probably wont be many takers for this. I find that I listen more to what the kids like than my own preferences - (70's ish particularly Sparks and glam rock like Slade and Sweet, anything that begins with S).
On a note of what the kids like, thank goodness for Glee, can play these CD's continiously in car and stops all rows and arguments, particularly with the younger ones, even find myself joining in singing. Adele go's down well (can I say this?) and occasionally Queen are allowed an outing (again can I say this?).

Nah, 'twas K271, No. 9, the "Jeunehomme" (with Leif Ove Andsnes (piano/director) and the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra) - that's why I didn't recognise it. Now listening to the 3rd act of Paris Opera's Wagner's Siegfried: great stuff.

With best wishes,

Zeppelin came out of Yardbirds so are Londonish as miuch as Brum 8)

You guys are making me want to look out some of my old LPs - Nice, Deep Purple, ELP and more. I really enjoyed the Concerto for Rock Group and Orchestra.

Post by: Newportnobby on July 10, 2011, 03:52:06 PM
That album surely had its moments but on the whole I think it failed. I sold mine years ago. If you like the classical/rock fusion format try some Barclay James Harvest and Renaissance. Not as heavy as Deep Purple but a better combination IMHO.
Title: Re: what are you listening to at the moment?
Post by: Chris M. on July 10, 2011, 05:18:55 PM
I agree re the Deep Purple fusion - such is the fate of pioneers. And thanks for the tips. I'll look them out. I missed out Pink Floyd from my original list.

Best wishes,

At the end of the day it's whatever fits your mood/whatever you're doing. At the moment its Nothing Else Matters by Metallica.

I absolutely agree. Why is that rubbish even called R and B? Bands like The Who used to be categerised under that banner. How does it get from great music to vile music? What happened inbetween?

Did you see the documentary on Lemmy? As much as I like some of his music - he's far from an inspiration.... To be honest I couldnt watch all of it....

I'm a big fan of Bruce Dickinson - both musically and personally. I mean anyone that can: produce fantastic music, olympic level athlete, commercial pilot, author as well as being an undercover train buff is a real winner in my book.

With the exception of his music - Sting is a bit of a champ too. I've read stories that he packs a suitcase full of modelling gear so he can scratch build on tour - now *thats* devotion...

I'm only into his music though his autobiography was a good read. (White Line Fever)

Now Bruce is a multi-talented guy for sure. He's also been/is a DJ on the BBC radio!

Hi John - we're of an age as I was 15 in 1968. Currently listening to the Beatles 'Love' album which is an incredible feat of mastering by George Martin & Son. If you like the Beatles (not everyone does) you'll hear completely revamped versions of their songs and sampled bits too. It's a bit like 'Spot the Beatles songs' :music:

I will now need to get new ears to truly appreciate the sound quality. :smiley-laughing:

So far I have test driven Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd), Kick It (The Breakfastaz), Hard to Stay (Freestylers), Busy Child (The Crystal Method), Adagio for Strings (Barber/Eugene Ormandy), Jump (Van Halen), Prowler (Iron Maiden) and Warm on the Inside (Crazy P).

I suspect my poor wife is thoroughly hacked off.  Our tastes in music only overlap with Pink Floyd!

My old Sony amp and Wharfedale bookshelf speakers will now be employed under the control of my laptop beneath my layout playing the sounds of station announcements and trains as they leave the station. ::)

It's still not done.. but will be soon, 'cos I'm really fed up with it  :thumbsdown:

Mustermark - excellent choice of amp there. You will love it  :thumbsup:

I was recently given (yes given!!) a set of Linn Keilidh L300 floor standing speakers and an amplifier to suit (can't remember make / model off hand) and am going to rework my office to install them. I'm there more than I'm at home, so reckon that is the place for them. Also, I've no neighbours there, so can turn it all up to 11 if I want to.

To keep on-topic, David Gilmour Live in Gdansk and Pink Floyd's The Division Bell have both had an outing today.

Update @ 5.55pm - job done, flow restored!!

A special treat for today, I downloaded a heap of American Diesel videos from Youtube then burned them to DVDs, SWMBO has gone out for the afternoon so I will watch them with the volume turned up, its a while since I blew the cobwebs out of the Wharfedales.

Is it the one called "The rhythm of film" and if so, has it got "Snow" and "Rail" in the compilation?
IMHO there are some tremendous BTF films around. The one about Leeds Holbeck (I think) in the days of steam was just so atmospheric.

Yes it is, and the whole thing is amazing. Will be looking some more BTF films up. I have 'Black 5', and 'On and off the Rails' as well.

For anyone unfamiliar - here is Snow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl4pJwcE7JI Great visuals and great music - the man was a genius.

Well done, that man. The nearest I'll get now is air guitar (mind you, I did sing back up vocals in a local pub band many moons ago when I had the ability to sing falsetto) :-[

More of a question.  

Is anyone around that went to the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music in Shepton Mallet in 1970?

N-Gauge modellers who recall Johnny Winter playing there on the Saturday night could form a new demographic and we should record ourselves as such at the 2021 census.  

And one could create a model of the local station with a few thousand hippies crossing the tracks.
 
Led Zeppelin were great, but I accept not to the taste of all.  Jo Jammer were good too.  And Zappa.  And Canned Heat. And the Floyd. And Fairport Convention. And Dr John. And Donovan.   Shame The Incredible String Band were not on.

Sorry, I'll stop it now, I am foaming at the mouth. But I wish the Increds had been on...and would have been great with The Who, too.

"The Big Huge" by The Incredible String Band.  I accept that this is an acquired taste.  In the 1980s a mate of mine thought that my ISB tapes were kept in the car as some sort of anti-theft device.  One of the most important bands ever as far as I am concerned though.

Hi Mick.......Nick Drake made Three albums.....Five Leaves Left...
                                                                   Bryter Later....
                                                                   Pink Moon......
Five Leaves Left is my fave...Bryter Later is along similar lines with guest musicians backing Nick
While Pink Moon is just Nick acoustic guitar with some piano over dubs.All essential listening in my view.
Any of these albums on vinyl are rare as hens teeth.....
Hmv have all three cds on sale at the mo.........http://hmv.com/hmvweb/simpleMultiSearch.do?searchUID=&pGroupID=0&adultFlag=false&simpleSearchString=nick+drake&primaryID=0&btnSubmitSearch.x=0&btnSubmitSearch.y=0

Music with words that actually mean something and stand upon their own, plus an awesome band, especially live. The mosh pit at the 30th anniversary when they played vengance was quite astounding

We've seen the restless children at the head of the columns
Come to purify the future with the arrogance of youth
Nothing is as cruel as the righteousness of innocents
With automatic weapons and a gospel of the truth

Excellent choice.  I saw PF do The Wall live at Earls Court in 1980  :thumbsup:  And was watching the film last week.

If you get the chance to see The Australian Pink Floyd Show, if they tour your way at all, go.  I've seen them a few times (once at the Albert Hall)... they are awesome.  The solo to Comfotably Numb was played note perfect every time.  Unbelievable. :o 8)

Wonderful country went there just after the troubles started (booked before), lovely people, chatted to a local lad (wearing a Man U shirt!) who told me that I was in the wrong stand at Southampton for the best view and knew more about the players than I did! He'd never been out of his own country. Could get political here so I'll leave it at that.

"Zimbabwe" - New Navy

Wonderful country went there just after the troubles started (booked before), lovely people, chatted to a local lad (wearing a Man U shirt!) who told me that I was in the wrong stand at Southampton for the best view and knew more about the players than I did! He'd never been out of his own country. Could get political here so I'll leave it at that.
Oh wow! It's amazing when you meet people like that, and it can be very humbling too. :)
(The song is great too, btw, if you're into indie rock :P)

Just been spending an hour or two trawling YouTube.  Two of my favourites of recent times that I just found:


Numb by Linkin Park.  I saw them live at the Birmingham Indoor Arena.  The Numb video was quite good:

Linkin Park - Numb (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXYiU_JCYtU#noexternalembed)



The Tempest by Pendulum.  Here they are live at Brixton Academy (the best bit starts just after 5 minutes!):

The Tempest - Pendulum Live at Brixton Academy (DVD) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piXjdfwQZak#ws)



Further to my post on this thread on Dec 12th, Aussie Floyd line up has changed, apparently.  Damien Darlington has left the band.  Here he is in 2004 playing the solo to Comfortably Numb.  Fantastic performance:

Australian Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIEosqHaMrs#ws)


The current line up looks to be almost as good.  Just 'YouTube' Aussie Floyd Hammersmith Apollo 2011.

I like their first two. Loud and angry. I was so disappointed with their third album.  I think they tried too hard as it took 18 months and was too lame and a bit of a sell out.  I guess you get less angry when you're a millionaire! :smiley-laughing:

Radio 5, FA cup 3rd round coverage, can't beat the BBC Radio for the coverage. They have just played the music at five o'clock for sports report/round up. I remember it well when in the Falklands nearly 30 years ago! It must have been about two o'clock. We used to gather round the radio and listen to the World Service for the results, sorry I'll stop otherwise I'll go on for hours.

"Party Sevens", back in the early 60's used to go to Rolling Stones (before they were famous) parties, they used to rent a bungalow in Epsom and there idea of gardening was to cover the lawn with those red tins and Vodka bottles! several of my friends were musically inclined and there used to be some wonderful jam sesseions! Happy days. :beers:

hi all  :wave:

at the moment i'm listening to a guy called Dean Torkington he is a friend of mine who is a meatloaf tribute act

a while back he did his own album in the Steinman/Meatloaf style and was rated highly in the music press

link below to the title track of the album

The Bat Strikes Back, ORIGINAL ALBUM! Europes NO1 Meat Loaf Impersonator Dean Torkington. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO7nokftH5I#)

so if anyone is into Meatloaf you may want to chack it out

With you there, Nobby.  The Barber piece is my favourite bit of classical music, when conducted by Eugene Ormandy it is truly wonderful.

But as far as Oldie goes, i reckon youve got to BE an oldie to remember the William Orbit original dance version. DJ Tiesto did some good stuff, but i also perferred the Ferry Corsten version of Adagio.


Another blast from the past... I've just been listening to Armin van Buuren "10 Years", some quality Euphoria tracks on there. :thumbsup: :music:

Now on to "S F Sorrow" by the Pretty Things.  They were accused of doing a rip-off of "Tommy" by The Who.  Not true; SF was written and recorded before Tommy, but released later because of record-company problems.

For the first time an engine has moved on my layout, on the bit of track that's there so far.

Cameron said she'll try and make next week.

Doing the vacuuming before Liz gets home from a week away. Been drowning it out with AC/DC "Back in Black" on my headphones. My ears are ringing now. Not surprising as i just noticed the volume was on full.

A bit of Foo Fighters "In Your Honor" while i finish up and start the dusting.

Doesnt seem like a chore. Just takes twice as long when your air guitar keeps getting in the way.

Currently got "te best funk album in the world" on, because I decided that 11am was a bit early to shake the house down with the new MOS jungle classics album (I made the call when I was on the throne and noticed the floor vibrating, and the paper jiggling about!

Makes a change from the usual electronic stuff ive got going (dance, dubstep, D&B, techno etc) so not the train stereotype music!

I have finally managed to upload some tunes to my Smartphone...mainly to save me from my fellow commuters on the train in the morning...there is only so much inane chatter you can put up with without trying to kill anyone. So I have my Tom Waits collection being uploaded... ;D

My current favourite is 'Lie to Me', the opening track from his Orphans album. I first heard it on the radio - Mark Lamarr's late night show on Radio 2 a couple of years ago - and it was one of those 'wow' moments. I knew of his earlier work, but that blew me away...

It just so happens I'm listening to 'Small Change' as I'm typing this... :music:

Yep, I know what you mean.  I used to drown it out when I commuted by train too.

I have fond memories of being on a 166 to Slough with Breakbeat Bass filling my head reading Jonathan Strange - I think I must have enjoyed that half hour all to myself.  It's funny how you actually miss the bits you didn't like at the time once things change.

I have just been listening to that same Breakbeat Bass album.  Now it's time for Equinoxe by Jean Michel Jarre - one of my favorite ever albums to chill out to.

I know what you mean Nobby, every time I hear Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance I get goose bumps, just goes to show I left England for Australia 55 years ago and still feel proud to have British blood flowing through my veins, Nimrod does the same.

With so much patriotic music in our past we really do need to change our national anthem to a more patriotic piece.Nimrod, Pomp and Circumstance,  Orb and Sceptre, Crown Imperial etc. etc all spring to mind
Add to this the sites and sounds that our massed military bands of the past brought to our eyes and ears and we would have a culture to be proud of again.

Currently?  The sound of charger fans whirring away, batteries being charged for a flying session, when I'll be intently listening to the sound of a highly tuned 2 stroke 15cc engine screaming a 6kG Heli around.

Last albums played:-

Supertramp "Breakfast in America"  ..............with "Child of Vision" as usual always played at least twice..........

Renaissance "Turn of the Cards"

Pink Floyd "Division Bell"

Pink Floyd The Wall 2011 Remastered (Deluxe Experience Edition).

I now have this third copy of the album, largely purchased for the bonus disc 3.  I doubt my old ears could tell the sound qualities of the remastering.  I already own the original and the live version (which I was fortunate to see at Earl's Court in 1980 at the age of 16).

Disc 3 is a bunch of original demo material. 

The original of Another Brick Pt 2 would not have been the Christmas No 1 in 1979!  It started out as a little acoustic number :-\ and seems to have evolved into something sounding more like the final version of Part 1.

Interestingly Part 1 wasn't about his dad to begin with... The lyrics originally began "We don't need your adulation, we don't need your starry gaze", which would seem to be a reflection of Roger's emotional separation from the fans that came to a head (according to Mr Waters) when he spat at a fan climbing onto the stage.

There's a very different, but rather good, version of "Young Lust".  And "Teacher Teacher" seems to be a track that ended up on The Final Cut as "The Hero's Return".  It's interesting too how the lead guitar bits are mostly completely missing.  Without Dave Gilmour adding his magic, it would definitely not have been one of the greatest albums ever created.  I do wonder how much better it might have been had Waters let Gilmour have a bigger hand in it.

Rick Wright's :angel: Hammond organ seems to have featured more prominently on these early versions.

"The Doctor" (Comfortably Numb) was very similar musically but the words in the verse were very different...  The doc telling Pink to pull himself together... :smiley-laughing:  No big second guitar solo either.

Some of the tracks are from master tape, and you can hear the tape hiss.  How long since I heard that?!? :smiley-laughing:

Fascinating listening. 8)

It's certainly the law for private residences but I'm not so sure about businesses ???

In the UK it is a requirement for burglar alarms to do so. It is not (for various reasons) a requirement for some fire alarms to do so. In fact some must not !

We had this problem as our house was once a student slumhole and the old fire alarm system was for a full multi occupancy property. Really annoyed our neighbours, although a couple of years later their system did it back to us so we are now even and I think both see the funny side of it. Both those fire alarms have since been removed and replaced by modern ordinary home fire alarms.

Enforcement (including drilling out doors, entering property etc) is local council environmental health handled usually, and the enforcement team have quite strong powers. It's a route I'm glad neither we or our neighbouring business went down or we'd have spent the past few years far worse off !

Cool album.  I bought it just for the album cover.  Original and fun.

The other time I bought an album because I liked the cover was A Night on Earth by Crazy P... similar kind of music - and Warm on the Inside is one of my favourite ever tracks.

I would say the rest of the album is about as good on average.  It's all quite different.  Curse of Ka'zar is my favourite.  Experiment Number Six is good too.

I still have a huge soft spot for the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) bands that I grew up on.

Here is an appropriate song for railway types:

Saxon - Princess of the Night (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-49noOAFsG8#)

The lyrics:


She used to be an ironhorse
Twenty years ago
Used to bring the mail to me
Through the ice and snow
I've sat alone and watched her
Steaming through the night
Ninety tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky

She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky

Speeding, sparks like lightning
Engine working hard
Furnace on the foot plate
Shining in the night
Iron striking metal
The sound of racing steel
It's all I ever wanna hear
It's music to my ears

She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky

She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky

Ninety tons of thunder
Lighting up the sky
Steaming red hot pistons
See the wheels flash by
Hear the whistle blowing
Streaking down the track
If I ever had my way
I'd bring the princess back one day

She was a princess of the night
I saw the writing on the wall
She was a princess of the night
I take a ride across the sky

Make sure you take a few krone with you as it is expensive over there. I've been working in Oslo on and off for 5 years and the exchange rate is poor at the moment.  A single beer and a curry cost about £35 with no extras. They are great people and it's a great place as well. Hope it is a great gig.

If its the Bergen festival then Bergen had an extremely good curry house when I was there as well as a cracking authentic Irish pub (not a plastic paddy pub but a 'four beers and barman turning up the music so he could chat up the women without being overheard' kind of pub.

The cliff railway is also fun, and the trip out via Fflam and then up the Fjord.

Heard this on the radio being sung by a much inferior artist than Ian Gillan. Not a fan of the rock opera or particularly religious but am a fan of IG and his vocals on this song really does it for me - particularly the screams at 2.27 and between 3.02 and 3.11. Definitely one of my Desert Island discs.

New World - Strawbs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwMwMawCu0E#)

I remember seeing a video on the box of the Strawbs which featured these songs in the past few years along with live Led Zep and, as a result, I bought this CD and a compilation CD. Some of the songs are stonking and are on my 'compilation' iPod in the car and there are some, particularly on the compilation, that are a bit too 'folky' for me.

Django Reinhardt, jazz guitar genius and of course Stephane Grappelli. Used to go to a festival at Samois sur Seine where he lived, lovely island setting, great atmosphere, guitar makers workshops and jam sessions, heard some amazing music. Stopped going when the organisers started featuring modern discordant jazz. Oh and yes there was a beer tent!  :beers: Just a little taster

"Paper Airplane" by Alison Krauss & Union Station - awesome , even after all this time in the business .
           "American Slang" by Gaslight Anthem , allegedly Bruce's fave band - still a fab album , especially at mega decibels.
"Heaven" by Reecca Ferguson - great debut from one of the most talented singers to come through the TV talent nonsense.Right , that'll do for now - as a 60 pluser , I like a listen to our "old farts" oldies with the best of them , BUT there's so much other GREAT stuff out there !!! Ric

The initial video of several mutual friends on trumpet and drums, and me on organ, surprising the bride and groom at their wedding yesterday.

Long story but the happy couple thought that they were just having the organ. But I and friends thought otherwise so, with the assistance of the parents on both sides who helped to influence the choice of music, I was able to arrange it.

Magic moment which I missed yesterday and I saw today on the video was the look on both their faces as the bride walked down the isle and the trumpets and drums cut in...

Probably none of you have heard of them, but I'm listening to Rubycon by Tangerine Dream, followed them since they started in 1969 (then called "The One"), Edgar Froese's son now runs the group and it is nowhere as good. Have almost everything they've ever recorded and a few bootlegs as well.  Not bad for a little 'ol granny  :laugh:

That ones my next on my playlist, I have it on vinyl and CD, the vinyl still sounds best but as I have all their records & CD's on a hard drive I can play them  much more easily via my media centre, not as good as the vinyl but saves me keep getting up and changing the record.  ::)  ;)
Title: Re: what are you listening to at the moment?
Post by: Malc on August 26, 2012, 09:54:55 PM
Very true Caz, vinyl still sounds best, but I have digitised all my LPs and CDs and use a media player too. I never owned Phaedra, but I shared a flat with a big TD fan in the early 70s. He was also into Kraftwerk. So I got to hear lots of electronic music and never bought any. So now I search the second hand Shops for missing discs.

There's another name I love, got quite a few Kraftwork vinyls, best played really loud.  I've also got recordings made by most of the members of TD over the years like Peter Baumain and Chris Franke. I suppose I'm a Electro Rock freak.  I also like Mike Oldfied, especially Tubular Bells in all its versions, also Iso Tomita, his vinyls have a whole different depth to them that just doesn't reproduce on the CD's  8)

Funnily enough, I have both of them. 21st Century Schizoid Man was a favourite track. I used to buy samplers when available as you got to listen to artists you would never normally hear. 1st Mott the Hoople track on one of those. Blue Horizon did a bluesy one as well.

Couldn't agree more Malc, Eric Burdon is a great blues singer and IMO one of his best was "Spill the Wine" with "War' OK on the guitar riff I think anyone that ever played guitar had a crack at it  :D

Camel and Genesis used to use the cinema across the road from my wife's office to rehearse in during the 1980's, so I got to hear them a lot then...

If I'm driving, then it's mainly 70's prog rock - Yes, Genesis, Camel, King Crimson, Jethro Tull...

If I'm painting delicate figures or preparing some rolling scenery, then it's Brian Eno, Ian Boddy or Sigur Ros...

Otherwise, I might listen to some folk or Jazz, or blues...

If I'm walking fast to get home I'll probably pop Ozric Tentacles onto the ipod.

Only 2 genres I'm not fond of - Country and Western and Opera!

Tasavallan Presidentti! That was the band... I just found their 2nd LP in my pile of vinyl! More folky/jazzy than I remembered it to be, mind! They were active 1969 - 1974, which makes me feel very old...

Jukka Tolonen also played on a Wigwam album, according to my ancient copy of "Rock Record".

Hi all,

Never looked at this thread before. Have only seen the last 2 pages but thought the german folk band (Horch) were good. We have some German neighbours who drink as much as us and come round with potions from the fatherland every so often so I think some ' end of the night ' drunken folk dancing will be in order next time!

I've been listening to a lot of a spanish band called ' Ska P' (sort of ska and other stuff with a spanish difference). Today, am ill with man flu but was listening to a band called ' Mano Negra ' who seem to be made up of lots of nationalities. They sing in spanish, english and french.

I like the song ' malavida ' particularly. Will try and do link in a mo.

Cheers Weave

I've also been indulging in a Richard Thompson retrospective box set and the New Blood album by Peter Gabriel.

I'm hoping for an album by jazz bassist/vocalist Esperanza Spalding for my birthday, but that is another day...

One of my favorite and sadly under rated bands Malc, I have every album on LP vinyl of this band, have them on my smart phone and in the car on would you believe cassettes.

I always thought Alvin Lee was one of the worlds greatest guitar players but I think being a slight egomaniac sort of spoiled his image.

Best album for ma was the double "Live in Europe".

Hey mate,

Thanks for the kind thoughts and well wishes. I have been away for four days at work as I'm a fire fighter in Sydney and we get got smashed on the four day especially last night out all night in the rain trees on power lines etc water thru roofs etc. last month our levee banks held up and I came home today to find the river each side of our home well up over the bank but levee still good but the water has not come down stream yet and they received heaps of rain up further in the valley.
We had just over 5 inch in a day one of the guys at work has a better half in buddy and the house went under, he felt a bit helpless as he could not get up there in time.
Anyway thanks again

Fingers crossed for the whole of NSW, even though I spent half of my life in Vic NSW is my favorite state.

Things have been pretty bad with the fires around Coonabarabran and further south, our thoughts are with everyone effected by fire and flood, hard to imagine how people can cope
but I guess they have to, keep safe.

As it happens I'm listening to The House Band in its circa 1983 incarnation. I saw them at The Bridge in Newcastle when at Uni and bought their record. Ripped it a few years back to MP3 as there are no other recordings of that particular line-up as far as I know.

Bit different from last Wednesday (Wolverhampton Civic Hall for the Status Quo Reunion Tour!)

One of those things that Philips invented and Sony popularised with their first Walkman.
A more compact device than the 8 track cartridge.

Both had a polyester/mylar base coated with a magnetic medium, some were ferric oxide, chrome dioxide and I can't remember the 3rd one.

However my prefered medium for recording those days was 1/2" mag tape on a 10 1/4"Nab spool on my Revox B77

Nice gear Mike, I used to manage a HiFi shop in the early to mid 1970s and had access to lots of great gear, I never took holidays or commission instead spent my money on gear, so much I wont bother listing it but I finished up with a system worth $14,000au, one day I looked out of the window and saw the old Wolsely 15/60 I was driving and sold the lot for a newer car.

I am listening to a bit of a mix at the moment, on the one side, the new single from BLACK SABBATH 'God is dead -

God Is Dead? by Black Sabbath (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVfUimq2KeI#ws)

but I am also listening to a lot of a band I have only recently come across called - 'The Texas Hippie Coalition' - Most excellent!!!!

Texas Hippie Coalition - Pissed Off and Mad About It (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjCtHgNEcV0#ws)

The main think is that most of my musical choices are rather loud!!! ROCK ON DUDES!!!

Configuring voicemail and voip stuff so I'm testing and listening to lots of "Please wait while I.."

I am however delighted to discover that the default announcement set includes "Due to the presence of zombies at the location you have dialled the office has been evacuated", monkey noises, "abandon all hope ye who enter here" and "I'm sorry Dave I can't let you do that"

Still reeling from watching and listening to the 1989 Pink Floyd Momentary Lapse concert at Nassau New York. Thank you BBC Four. I caught most of it and had my headphones blasting till the wee small hours. I've seen a lot of concerts, and played a good number myself, so it takes something special to impress me. This concert rates as the best I have ever seen.

If you missed it you can download it on IPlayer. Regrettably you can't buy the DVD any more.

Cream's Disraeli Gears on vinyl having been reminded of it by a the TV prgramme Classic Albums the other night. The sheer power of Jack Bruce's voice and bass guitar, and the ferocity of Ginger Baker's drumming are very infectious. I have long been a fan of Eric's too - at least up until his last two albums which seem to be getting into Val Doonican Songbook territory.

Lets have another rock blues album Eric then I can listen to that too.

I have to say that it's a great cover version!  I listen to it a lot when I'm walking home from work.  The whole album is great.... Bulletproof is one of my favourites.  Makes me want to fight..... :worried: :smiley-laughing:

This week I've been listening to a lot of 'Dubstep Metal'.  I NEVER thought I'd like Dubstep, but it's grown on me a lot since listening to some mixes of my favourite metal bands.

I cannot understand any of the songs as they're not in English but they're good listening.  He's done some other albums that are well thought of so I might have to hunt them down (Asian music is usually about a half or third the price of Western music).

Pakistani music is not my normal "thing" but I saw this chap at a free Asian festival, that's another story, and was well impressed at the way he belts out his songs i.e. better live than in the studio.

On the subject of Rod Stewart, when I was in my late teens, we saw all of the big bands inc Yes, King Crimson, Rory Gallagher, Lindisfarne, Fairport, Focus, Hawkwind , Argent and many, many more at, of all places, Devizes Corn Exchange !
All the big acts started their British tours there.
I remember being outraged the day that Rod Stewart & Faces turned up and were the VERY first band to charge an admission fee of £1-00!!!!!  Until then , 75p was the most expensive.

Hi Pengi,

Few questions,

Is that the the amount of goals Man City are scoring, West Ham are conceding, the amount you wish Pompey were conceding or how much you are paying for drugs?  :)

I'm listening to 'Comfort in Fear' by Heroes of Switzerland, unsigned rock band from the Nottingham area, one of my best friends was a founding member.
Very good album, and if you're into modern indie/shoegazing rock then you will love it, and it's got a bit of a late prog rock tone to it too....

U2's 2011 concert at Glastonbury.

Couldn't stand them when they were starting out but looking back with the benefit of a more relaxed attitude, older/wiser etc, then I cannot understand my earlier reluctance.

Beautiful Day has to be my favourite single.

I thought I'd got enough versions of Made in Japan, Live in Japan, etc (I've even got the Dream Theater Cover) but I must admit the HD version sounds a tad tempting...

Difficult for me to say exactly what I'm listening to, it can change from track to track.

I found an app for the PC for generating a random playlist, with options to set the duration it plays for, and the ability to select 4 or 5 different genres from a very long list, you also need to tell it which folders to look in and what format files (mp3, wav, ogg flac etc). You can even select years to search between.

Obviously you must have the files on your hard drive (must admit though I've not tried any other  locations like USB sticks, CD  drive etc)

I've now got 8 playlists each of 3 hours duration with a mix of baroque classical, big band swing, jazz and blues; So 24 hours without the same track twice; must get round to ripping some more vinyl and CDs!

Hmmm, I was there.  They were good but not as good as I've seen them before!

Listening to Music in preparation for the next Music Game that I run. A group of us play a game as follows: We select how many rounds (8 this time). Each round has a theme (This time we have; Drinking, Transport, A Question, Ridiculous Song Titles, Incorporating An Orchestra, Songs That Tell A Story and 2 'free' rounds). Everyone then submits a track in each category. I then create a folder for each category and we listern to one folder at a time over a week-10 day period. Each song is scored by each player 1-10 and we get a winner of the round. The scores are added together and we get an overall champion.

So, I've been sitting here racking my brains for Ridiculous Song Titles.... that also need a decent song behind them!! Not easy. Got most of the other rounds sorted.

Feel free to suggest anything!

Ah, can't use that one. We have a rule that any song already used in a previous game can't be put in again.... and someone used it in the last games Five Senses round!

Oh, I should also mention that the person entering the song is meant to like it.... My taste is classic rock, metal, symphonic rock. Seen quite a bit of that mentioned here so hoping you guys have good ideas!

Had never heard of them before last week so I quickly ordered `Invincible' because that the title I particularly liked when I 1st heard it played by The Band of Royal Marines .It really suits them and sounds as if it could have been written for them

I like listening to choral works, brass bands, folk music but not very keen on jazz.

this one you probably won't have heard before, classical

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1avElfU2bk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1avElfU2bk)

With classical I've got fed up with stations like Classic FM  pumping out the top 300 all day every day, I now hunt for stuff they don't play, but it has to be melodic, none of the modern stuff like Gorecki, horrible sounds,  Einaudi all his works sound the same, tinkle tinkle repetitive, not even suitable for muzak in a lift. Mostly I prefer the baroque period.

Another thing that gets up my nose with radio stations, a composer like say Bach wrote over 1,000 works, we rarely hear more than a dozen or so, same sort of thing applies to most other composers we rarely hear more than a quarter of what they wrote, Beethoven wrote 9 symphonies, of which we probably hear only Nos 5,6, & 9 with any regularity, I personally hate the 9th, especially the choral bits of it.

Post by: Newportnobby on August 10, 2014, 07:57:32 PM
Classical - I prefer the likes of Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Mussorgsky and Richard Strauss. Also like Wagner but without the caterwauling.
Jazz - Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Glen Miller and 'modern' stuff like Weather Report and Oscar Peterson.
Mainly prefer electric folk to acoustic, like lots of techno/trance but my main music taste runs to rock and blues.

Your post brought back several memories.

Used to have the Moody Blues "Question of Balance" LP but it disappeared somewhere.
Traveling Wilburys Album is one of my favourites also.

However I have a question - you mention your "Halton apprenticeship" - what is that?
At one time I worked as an I.T. Manager for Halton Borough Council, Halton being the name of a small village mid way between Widnes and Runcorn, and every year there would be a "Halton Show" based on nearby Spike Island on the Manchester Ship Canal.
Never before heard of a Halton apprenticeship though - can you enlighten me.

By the way all I can hear at the moment are loads of screaming kids in our Swimming Pool - thank goodness they go home and back to school next week.

More specifically, it's the training air base. Training there has been called an "apprenticeship" though the trainees are doing all sorts of things, including most of the people who join the RAF outside of officer training.

It's the nearest airbase to Berkhamsted, so I drive through it quite often (not least of all for going to the Princes Risborough and Chinnor Railway!).

There is a very good Pink Floyd tribute band on our little Island, and 2 of the LPs in my record collection are Led Zeppelin 2 and Led Zeppelin 3. The track "Whole lotta Love" used to be used as the intro to the "Old Grey Whistle Test" music program on BBC2 which I used to watch regularly.

3. The track "Whole lotta Love" used to be used as the intro to the "Old Grey Whistle Test" music program on BBC2 which I used to watch regularly.

It was "Stone Fox Chase" by Area Code 615.

For the Thrasher's on here, whilst relaxing on the Beach last week, I was surprised to see that MP3 millions had the following albums a week after being released and brought them whilst sunbathing and recommend the following.


ENTOMBED AD, "Back to Front"  :thumbsup:
Dark Fortress "Venereal Dawn" >:D
Belphegor "Conjuring the dead" :thumbsup:

And last but not Least Cannibal Corpse bring out what I believe is their best yet "A Skeletal Domain"£0.58p off MP3 millions, a bargain  :laugh3:

I also got Solitude Aternus (a blast from the past) Into the depths of Sorrow  :sleep: and Samael "Reign of Light" which i also a good album.  :P

Anyway once all the Laundry has been sorted and everyone has calmed down at home, I will have a read of this weeks goin's on

When a young man I had never ever been to a concert before and one of my friends had a spare ticket for Lancaster University and I was blown away, performing was Lynard Skynard.  Freebird I can just hear it now, they never returned to the UK as a couple of the members were killed in an airplane crash, that concert is always with me and one I will never forget.

Funny how music can become embedded with you for the rest of your life.

Couldn't agree more, the warmth and detail you hear from a vinyl record puts anything digital and compressed to shame. Our wireless network went down this weekend, which meant vinyl or nothing. Our house guests were moved to remark that they had never heard some of the songs they knew sound so good.

I'd better shut up or else I'll be switching Chetcombe over to steam only :confused1:

We do have about 400 CDs as well :D Still wouldn't be without a record deck though ;)

I agree Paul. I've got around 350 CDs, unknown vinyls but all in their proper cases with inlays. I've also just discovered that a guy at our local market sells second hand CDs for £2 upwards so I can see that 350 increasing rather rapidly. Bought just 2 last week but it's nearly Thursday again  :thumbsup:

I agree that vinyl is the best but the good thing about downloads is that if you don't like all the songs on an LP you can download just the ones that you like, which saves money and space on the shelves.

Best regards,

The main advantage of downloads for me is that I can get my whole iTunes library (some 4000 songs) onto a memory stick which then plugs into the USB socket in the car.

If you estimate 20mins a side, it would take you nearly 15 days of continuous copying. It took me about 3 months as I worked away in Holland during the week. However, i didn't copy every LP as some were worn out. I bought the CD versions of ones I wanted that were too bad. Also, my tastes had changed a little bit over the years.

Have just listened, again, to a programme on the BBC World Service about new and exciting rock music from around the world.  I caught it a couple of weeks ago on the radio when it was first broadcast.

It's a 55 minute programme called Global Beats Rock, here's a link

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02bdl20

There are 9 songs and information/interviews with each of the groups, who come from places like Lebanon, India and South Korea, to name but three.

So if you're into rock and want to hear something different give this programme a go.  Please note that it's only available for another 3 weeks.

The Wall , Dark Side of the Moon, Trick of the Tail and will shortly try and dig out other of rocks greats.  On the road to the Hospital this week with the Good Lady we have had Glory of Gershwin and soul but that is better than Italian talk shows...

The sound track of a Spitfire Mk IX doing an engine start and run. 

It's to go with the 1:1 scale Seafire Mk III Instrument panel I am making for the wall of the cave (yes I know it's the wrong Merlin). 

We have an Aunt who will want to see the panel and flick the switches.  The sound track is to add a little surprise...

Sounds like a plan - go for it. If I were a bit closer to Devizes I might join you. In the mean time - only an hour before my hard disk is defragmented! Quite a pleasant sound really. Better than listening to Coronation Street.

Lots of apocalyptica at the moment, they are a four piece all playing cellos and doing most awesome covers of heavy metal classics such as 'one' from Metallica, 'Stairway to Heaven' Led Zepplin, 'Sweet child of mine', Nirvana, 'The Trooper' and 'Aces High' Iron Maiden.

My occasional dose of classical music in a torrent of metal!!!

Best wishes

But then I see Sprintex's post about Paloma Faith on the same day I got a pic sent to me of the concert from me mate in Cambridge who was there.

Paloma Faith? Not so much a "they", more a "she" ;)

Just released her third album, incredibly powerful voice and vocal range, and won Best Female Artist at this year's Brit Awards  :thumbsup: Here's a link to the official Youtube channel:-

http://www.youtube.com/user/PalomaFaithVEVO/videos (http://www.youtube.com/user/PalomaFaithVEVO/videos)

. . . and this was her Brit Award performance that shows her voice off to the full  8)

Paloma Faith - Only Love Can Hurt Like This (Live at The BRIT Awards) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Dat9CRV800#ws)

There seem to be many instantly forgettable female singers around at the moment, but to me Paloma stands out a mile as supremely talented and she's a genuinely nice person too :)

Not sure there was one before 'Nice enough to eat', Malc, but there was a double album which followed 'Bumpers' called 'El Pea'
There were also other record labels samplers, such as Harvest's 'Picnic', CBS's 'Fill your head with rock' and Polydor's 'Bombers' (all double albums) and Atlantic's single album 'Age of Atlantic'

Good Lad - I was late to the party - didn't see him live till 2013 and knew nothing about him at that point - now got 8 albums - his skill rivals EC, in my opinion, and that's high praise from me.

When my laptop went in for repair the guy changed my browser to 'Opera' which I've found to be decently fast and easy to use. There has been much written about how to embed YouTube vids after they messed about with it but I find that just copying and pasting the full URL (including the 's' in 'https') works just fine. It appears in my post and I just played in 2 minutes ago. I tagged you and Caz just in case summat was different in another country.
It does say in very small print under the vid that it is 'no longer available' but seems to embed OK :confused1:

For girls, going to Ikea is like attending a model railway exhibition.

Tell her they have a great website where everything is available (like Hattons), whereas your local store will not have everything in stock (like your local model railway shop).

I think Joe, like me, was having a bit of a joke; I doubt his comment was meant to be offensive any more than mine about Marion recognising a 'Western' because of John Wayne was meant to be taken seriously.

I don't think anyone was being offensive and the good news is that I managed to avoid a trip to IKEA, which to my mind is not a home improvement store but is more of a Scandinavian Open Prison, where the inmates spend there sentences, continually walking round looking for the exit back into the real world.

When I have to go there I always feel like the les well known European member of the A Team, sentenced for a DIY crime I did not commit, falsely imprisoned..................

Then one night as you sleep in your goose feather bed

Your bones will be broken and your blood will be shed
Your eyes will be taken and your hands will be tied

Then we'll take you to the forest
Where none will hear your cry

Wikipedia says this...

"Shoegazing (also known as shoegaze) is a subgenre of alternative rock that emerged from the United Kingdom in the late 1980s, pioneered by bands such as My Bloody Valentine, Lush, Slowdive, Chapterhouse, and Ride. It lasted there until the mid-1990s, with a critical pinnacle reached from 1990–91 and a new zenith achieved again from resurgence in the early 2010s. The British music press—particularly NME and Melody Maker—named this style "shoegazing" because the musicians in these bands stood still during live performances in a detached, introspective, non-confrontational state, hence the idea that they were gazing at their shoes. The heavy use of effects pedals also contributed to the image of performers looking down at their feet during concerts.

The shoegazing sound is typified by significant use of guitar effects and indistinguishable vocal melodies that blend into the creative noise of the guitars, influenced by noise pop, indie rock, garage rock, psychedelia and neo-psychedelia."



So there you have it newportnobby, you're all enlightened. Glad you like Hammock's cover. It's quite untypical for them though as they rarely have vocals (or even beats, so you have to be patient).

The always exceptional Jesus and Mary Chain have a shoegaze side, as did Medicine (on the soundtrack of "The Crow" if I remember rightly), and of course Catherine Wheel. It carries on to this day with the like of One Unique Signal and The Telescopes.

For anyone who liked Hammock's cover above, I suggest Slowdive with Machine Gun.

My daughter is impressed by the improved music quality of vinyl over digital...

But the strangest reaction is our cats. Play a compressed digital version of Dire Straits Money For Nothing and they just carry on as normal washing etc., but play the vinyl version and they go bat crazy! Wide eyes, ears back and they start running around!

Has anybody else seen this?

If I need more inspiration I might just pop on the Space Oddity album by Bowie.

This grumpy old fart has a playlist mix of mostly baroque classical, big band swing, & jazz but currently a Temperance Seven track (not quite jazz but fun)

I have 36 similar 3 hour playlists plus a further 15 purely Baroque and adding some of all swing and jazz.

There are a few tracks from Focus and Renaissance in some of the lists and I'm weeding out the Spike Jones, first few times they generate a chuckle or two, but soon get tedious.

Due to a hospital enforced relaxation day, I har mostly been lending an ear to my favourite Heep albums - Demons & Wizards + The Magicians Birthday, followed by The Band - The Last Waltz and now this hoary old blues track....


Demons & Wizards was okay, for me it as to Salisbury, followed by Look at Yourself and Sweet Freedom. Albums that need to be listened with headphones on. Bliss!  :music:

Great choice of music Mick but don't do any dancing with your condition and all your new bits and pieces unless of course you've oiled the joints first . I have the Readers Digest set of the Golden Oldies about 10 CDs and me and Val often put them on instead of the Tele.
Look after yourself .

Just off to see Ferocious Dog now. Starts at 2.30pm in Nottingham. I'll drive overnight and camp in the van in the city centre. They are mainly a folk -rock -punk band, but going to have a whole string orchestra on stage for a couple of numbers, plus loads of guest artistes. Should be great!

@weave (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=735) Brilliant gig tonight. They did everything. Had loads of guests on, a rapper, celtic dancers, and half a string orchestra for the final numbers. Also Gaz Brookfield and Mad Dog Macrae were on tonight.

Yes they are well associated with the Levellers, they all know each other ;)

2000 crowd at rock city tonight, I think they are the first unsigned band to sell out this venue.

Yes Simon I've got that album and probably most of Jo Bonamassa's albums. I really like rock guitar music but not so much the heavy metal stuff. Another favourite is Eric Clapton.
Have a listen to Matt Schofield - he's a Jazz/rock guitarist and singer. His guitar playing is incredible. Imagine someone singing for 10 minutes without taking a breath - that's how he plays guitar - no pauses to work out what he's going to do next - its like running water. Amazing

Duke Ellington at Newport, with Paul Gonsalves doing 27 choruses on the sax, starting at around 3:45. Perhaps the most important single jazz performance recorded. It revived big band jazz for the Duke & co for another decade or so.

Very, very rarely post on this thread, but daughter bought meal and show tickets some months ago to a David Bowie tribute show in an iconic Sydney location called The Basement.

Went with Mrs B on Friday night and a certain amount of sceptism, but it turned out to be a great night.

Meal was great, the 4 piece band was awesome,  especially  the guitarist,  who had an amazing array of home-made stomp boxes which duplicated all of the right sounds, which of course were highlighted by his total expertise on the instrument.  If you closed your eyes, you really would think you were listening to Bowie.

Not that you'd want to, cos the skinny bloke doing the singing was all glitter and glam, although I was watching the guitarist's fretwork all the time.

Anyway, everyone ended up dancing between the tables, including daughter and partner, who at 30, would have been the youngest there!  :-[

Got back to hotel at 2am, way past Bealman's bedtime.... think I was still feeling the grog over breakfast! Home on train by 2pm Saturday,  bed 3pm, got up 6am this morning.  :-[

I ain't as young as I was, Ziggy!  :beers:

Just received an email today that The Who dates for September have been rescheduled to April next year >:(

The good news it that they are going to be playing a revised version of Tommy :)
I've seen them about 5 times now, but my tinnitus doesn't allow me to go to gigs these days. Maybe, if I hadn't been to so many gigs in my youth, I'd be OK now.

Finally got round to listening to Till Lindemann's solo album - for those of you who don't know the name, he is the singer of Rammstein. The album is utterly bonkers - it is like a slightly poppier version of Rammstein sung in English but with Till given free rein (and boy does he use it) to explore his wildest fantasies.

If you've ever seen a Rammstein show you'll know that they are not exactly shy, but this takes it much further.

Some bits are very enjoyable - I enjoyed the title track (Skills and Pills) but most of it was just a bit weird/hilarious/perverted!

Talking to a friend recently and he mentioned Robin Trower who I knew about way back in the 70's but had sold my entire record collection some years ago so went out and bought what I believe is his latest and the second I put it on I wondered why I had forgotten also just got a live album Across the States which is currently in the post this is good stuff

At the risk of taking this thread in a completely different musical direction... :sorrysign:

This is what I am literally listening to right now...


I only discovered him, while having a 1980s flashback. I wanted to find the original Jan Hammer version (from 'Miami Vice'). This 'Kebu' sounds impressive, for me, at least, as I am a keyboard player myself (piano mainly).

Kebu is from Finland, so it might be difficult for me to go and see him on tour. On the other hand, I think I might buy his CD.

For a more 'pumping' version, this is at the end of an hour-long medley of his cover versions (and his own work): :headbang:
https://youtu.be/WEluiItYWno?t=1h20m43s (https://youtu.be/WEluiItYWno?t=1h20m43s)
"Doncha just lurve that image of the plane landing over the beach at St Maartens...?"

Sure, it's not going to be everyone's (musical) taste, but each to his (or her) own - just like in N Gauge. Some like puffers (sorry, kettles); others like electric trains (and I do have four 11-car Pendolinos on order!) :) and electronic music.

Depending on the reaction I get, I might tell you about the other 'divine' :angel: music that I have just been seduced by. :heart2:

My latest choice of music is the problem with researching the country you wish to model on the internet - and get in to watching vids on Youtube - I ended up wondering what sort of music is listened to in Poland, and discovered Sylwia Grzeszczak! Recently got her latest album on CD - Tamta Dziewczna (translates to 'That Girl if you are interested!)

Here is the video for the title track from Youtube -


...and no, I can't understand much of what she is singing, but I think that she has a great voice and even this track, which is one of her more 'pop' ones is good!

On my annual pilgrimage to England last December, went to see the "Revolution" exhibition at the V&A.
Great exhibition, mega nostalgia. Big multi wall projection of Woodstock. When I got home I dug out my Canned Heat and Richie Havens, both cassettes not playing properly so had my nephew send me Canned Heat CD, yet to obtain the Richie Havens.

You are very welcome Delboy. I first came across Jackie when she was just 10 years old and couldn't believe what I was seeing (check out her America's got talent appearances in 2010, they are all on YouTube). I was so taken with her voice I HAD to see her in concert - which meant going all the way to Florida in 2015 just to hear her sing! At 11 years old she sang one song in London which pulled the house down - look up Nessun Dorma by Jackie on Britain's Got Talent. Goosebumps time - that's a promise.

First saw them in 1968. Sat about 15 feet from Entwhistle's bass stack. Couldn't hear properly for 2 days. Seen them several times since and loads of other bands. Now have tinnitus to remind me of the good times.

The Andy Cousin Show on Deal Radio (internet radio).   Every Wednesday 8pm - 10pm.  Goth, metal, local bands - that sort of thing.  Occasionally plays solo tracks by my lad and also the band he used to be a member of, so obviously a station with good taste  8)

I have a CD with all the music from 'Distant signals' on it (Well, almost all. What i thought was just background music over the scenes at Corrour are in fact Elton John's 'funeral for a friend') If iwant to get into 'West highland' mood, I just put it on the record machine. The tracks are :- Samson Peccator Episcopus' by shaun davey.(General music) Peurt a Beul/Snug in a blanket. (Scene where the 37 comes off of the Banavie swing bridge and accelerates away up the extention) and 'Indiana' (Brief clip of steam drifter at sea and train pulling into Rannoch station) Finishing with 'Sampson Peccator episcopus' again. for good measure, I added Isla St clair's 'Shian Road' A bit off for the WHR proper but fine for the C&O especially the Ballachulish branch as Creagan is mentioned in thye song. :)

At other times I'll just put 'Penny Lane' on to remind me where my money goes! :(

In fact, when I think about it,  they've had an an album out most times I've seen them, apart from The Kids are alright tour.

I was playing Transfiguration Night just the other day. I am very fond of it; helps me when I am working from home.  That and Richard Strauss' Metamorphosen.

On a totally different note, I was busy building DDR apartment blocks for our club's H0 layout the other day accompanied by Willy Nelson. His music, particularly 'On the Road Again' and 'City of New Orleans' (his version at least) accompanied us on our road trip across the US last year, so will always have a special place for me...

I know very few like my choice of music and all I get is by download from ABGT egular podcasts.

...However I'm on a retro thing recently now I found out how to download.  Uta Saints, Tin Tin Out, Everything But the Girl, Orbital, Neneh Cherry, Phil Collins Queen and dare I mention KLF.  I have no idea who is who these days but I think I'd recognise Katy Perry.

Also, I think the girl with the sax was robbed at young musician of the year 2016 with "Where the Bee Dances".  I love this piece of music (sadly, not played as good anywhere else I can find on-line as she did in the competition).

I thought it was a millionaires employee that was convicted of the manslaughter by the Mexican courts. Nothing 'politico' about it.
Except that the 'Millionaire' was allegedly driving the speedboat. Not sure if it was 'political' but it was certainly 'corrupt'

Paul Di'Anno was Maidens singer then

Hi Escafeld,
How much nostalgia in these pics...unfortunately I saw Maidens (1981) in Rome when Paul Di Anno left the band two days before Itslian tour...me and my friends were literally surprised that night!...
About Bruce and Samson....Iv got a photo with Paul Samson ( R.I.P.) I met him during the last and only visit in England...'til now!

Up the Irons!....
albeit Bruce' voice  after illness is not longer the same.

my sister and Bro in law are going next week to see them, got cheapie tickets the lucky buggers. I do have tickets for Metallica in October though!

best wishes


Simon


Hi,
Past summer I saw them in Rome, 10th time in my life from far 1981....IMHO Bruce is always the "best"....but not his voice..
About Metallica (seen two years ago) I'm waiting for them on February 2018 in Bologna ....I like very much their last release..

Best wishes
Marco

Excellent pic.  I saw Maiden and Samson many times back then, at one point it seemed they were on the bill with almost every band in town!


Now playing Ian Hunter - The Artful Dogder

I am a Mott the Hoople fan,and never caught up with them, but do play their albums. Particularly like "at the crossroads" and their first album.

I, too, am a fan of early Mott the Hoople (before they went 'pop' with Bowie). Love the tracks on the Island samplers like 'At the Crossroads' (Nice enough to eat), 'Thunderbuck Ram' (Bumpers) and 'Original Mxed Up Kid' (El Pea)

I'm sick to my stomach...Sabaton was in Dallas on the 16th, but I was on-duty. They were in San Antonio the 17th...but it would have been a 8 hour round trip...and I let the day come and go. Now I regret it. When will they be back again!?

Once upon a time there was a venue just over 2 hours away that brought in all these bands (Ensiferum, Tyr, Eluevetie, Turisus, Dragonforce, Sonata Arctica, Cage, Vicious Rumours) among others...but that venue went kaput.

Anyhow...

Can't help myself, Martin. For me, it's one of those 'must play' albums and finds its way to the turntable at least once a fortnight. It also serves as a reminder of all the bands I used to go and see in the late 60s and early 70s. Nostalgia ain't wot it used to be :(

BJH were one of those groups I saw about 6 times in the 70s. They recorded on the 'Harvest' label (EMI) and their track on the 'Picnic - a taste of fresh air' sampler is 'Mother Dear'
This is them at their best to my mind...............(set it playing and enjoy!)

Hi all,

Apologies if the band has been on before but I do like me Pogues and Flogging Molly type stuff having Irish ancestry and grew up with punk.

The Rumjacks from Australia (who are of decent I think) slagging off Irish theme pubs.

Great stuff, new band to me, must stop going on railway forums and catch up  :no:....  :hmmm:

Supersuckers, "Paid" EP / mini album. Redneck garage rock / country. With a Steve Earle cover too! Marvellous original, marvellous cover.

As this is a family forum I am definitely NOT listening to a particular track of their "Sacrilicious Sounds of the Supersuckers" album.

Sator, "I Wanna Go Home", from their Headquake album of 1992.

Swedish rock, guitars and everything. It's not all Abba over there you know (but they did cover "Ring Ring", which is well worth a google too)

And the vid includes Phil Collins at 1:24 (really):

Hi Bealman,

I'm not saying I didn't believe you but googled it. I'm not really a fan but would probably be the last chance to see him if I were in your shoes. It says tickets are still available (last few etc. etc.).

You probably know all that.

Cheers weave.

PS. I didn't know Wollongong was the 10th largest city in Oz. I'd never heard of it before I read your posts. Anyway, have a good time on Sunday if you go.

PPS. 'last chance to see him' as in he's 70 and prob not going to Oz again. Well, you know what I mean  :worried:

Yep, it's totally weird. Wollongong, a steelworks town in NSW!

I would have liked to go, but in a provincial town like this, it's pretty exciting and they expect major traffic problems.

Plus, I don't have a ticket.... we have scalpers here too.

I'll wait until it comes out on video and then I'll ignore it  ;)

Never really been an Elton John fan but saw him briefly in Bristol in the 90s.
We were at a Squeeze concert (Jools Holland was still with Squeeze).
They played 3 encores each time saying someone special had promised to pop in. In the end EJ appeared and they finished off the evening with him on piano.

Try Richard Strauss's "Tod und Verklarung" (Death & Transfiguration) and see whether you find it very Wagnerish.

Pleased to hear I'm not the only one! I've been listening to the Ring 3 or 4 times a year for about 45 years so I'm starting to get to know it! Yes, the Strauss is quite Wagnerish, I've got most of his orchestral music and some of the operas in my collection. Act 2 of Walkure this evening...

Fugazi, "Guilford Fall" from the "Instrument" album. The version with lyrics starts with the line "Down at the Station" which is appropriate but it's not about trains. (I don't know what it is about).

Supersuckers at the tiny Community Room at the Leeds Brudenell (capacity c. 100?) were awesome by the way: 3 blokes making a heck of a racket with a minimum of equipment (no spare guitars, a couple of FX pedals, a few Marshalls and that's about the lot). The not-an-encore but still final song "Born With a Tail" was particularly good as Eddie Spaghetti held his bass out for a few of us lucky ones at the front to pluck a bit, which was fun if tuneless. Handshakes with Eddie and Marty the guitarist mid-gig too! They always seem to enjoy their gigs.

This is a live version from a few years back with poor sound but the manic dancers are quite, err, watchable, and very un-Supersuckers. My fave is the one in the grey boots.

The test transmissions on 648 khz AM for the new (legal!) broadcasts of Radio Caroline which will serve East Anglia very soon. Playing a nice selection of continuous music at the moment, with proper test programmes to follow in the near future.
Although aimed at Suffolk/Norfolk/Essex, the signal does seem to be being picked up a lot further away than that!

Idles, "Brutalism" album.

Punk (tho they say they're not punk), noisy, unpredictable, political, perceptive. And dare I say it, the whole thing (band / live shows / videos / lyrics) is art.

But it and the band themselves are also a bit terrifying... more than a bit scary as you never quite know what's going to happen next. A bit like when you saw the great Peter Cook being interviewed... what would he say? What mood would he be in? How co-operative would he be?

"Edgy" has nothing on this lot!

Marvellous.

Today it's Alvvays (say "Always") with their second album, Antisocialites. Cracking jangly / catchy guitar-y pop, rockier overall than their first and putting paid to that "difficult second album" issue. And the very excellent (and funny) Mollie can really do those vocal gymnastics to perfection (e.g. "Plimsoll Punks") without autotune, if their gigs I've been to are anything to go by. And they are. Nice one, you Canadians!

It makes me happy in a world which generally does not.

Whoa! Good call. The tune is definitely similar. I wonder if/since they're both rooted in folk tunes that that's why there's a similarity.

As teenagers we used to analyse the lyrics looking for the deep hidden meanings.

Just putting together a playlist of Christmas music for background music at our Chrisatmas lunch in the residents lounge. Found some "different  renditions" like Jetrhro Tull, Ella Fitzgerald, Eartha Kitt, Bing Crosby, Moody Blues, Manhattan Transfer, Blackmore's Night (Celtic)  David Arkenstone,Harry Belafonte and others.

Perhaps I should add the minimum age for residents in this block is 55 but I expect the age range at the lunch will be late 60s to mid 90s, so hopefully there should be summat for everyone

Worth checking out the other tracks under the same profile, there's a future star singer/songwriter here I think!

Very shocking.

Saw them once at 'Trip to Tipp' mid '90s. Very good. Not really my thing but still have them on my i pod when I'm in the mood.

Lovely voice. Very sad.

I agree, if they had released it in 67, it would have been first. In any case, West/Hopkins was better in Tomorrow.

War of the world's (original) soundtrack talking with Richard Burton.

Mick I always guessed you'd be an old rocker, the image I have of you, having never met I might add, Mick the decent bloke off Time Team. I imagine you to be alike, very well spoken, hugely knowledgeable bloke, great one too lose hundreds of hours discussing things with sat there in a rainbow wooly jumper. :)

Title: Re: what are you listening to at the moment?
Post by: Newportnobby on February 11, 2018, 12:25:56 PM
Very kind words but, as those who know me better will confirm, the truth is quite different. An older rocker - yes. Well spoken -yes (until I break into fluent Anglo-Saxon). When I first moved to Lancashire I was constantly asked whether I hailed from London. When I replied "No. Why?" the answer was always "Well, you're not from Lancashire". Ergo, there are are only 2 places in the universe - London and Lancashire ::) Hugely knowledgeable - no,sirree :dunce: As for rainbow woolly jumpers - I can't wear wool as it makes my skin itch so I tend to do sweatshirts. fleeces and the like. I don't like jumpers anyway, although I tend to wear silly Christmas ones at that time of year, c/w flashing lights in one case! I've not seen Time Team but do have, and really enjoy (apart from hammy David Essex) the Jeff Wayne War of the Worlds CD. Sorry if that's all blown any cred I had :angel:

None at all sir! I'm not sure I'd like to know peoples image and or perception of me.

I'm not from a railway background, merely roofing industry and farmings although I strive to get everything right and as I want it I really do enjoy listening reading and talking to people who have vast knowledge in and about the industry we model.

I'm always concerned of almost boring people with my background and knowledge which im sure many people do but we need to ask and discuss so it's not all lost forever.

Have a great weekend Mick, what's left of it anyway

Shades of my youth, some of my old pals reincarnating their youth, they used to have a regular gig at the "Red Lion" in Sutton Surrey and played all over the South London area

Quote from Robin Mayhew who sent me this
Here's the story
My band The Presidents was signed to Decca Records and in the mid 1960s  a recording we made of a song titled She said Yeah as a follow up to our Candy Man release and was written by Roddy Jackson and the late Sonny Bono and was passed by Decca but somehow the acetate (the original cutting) was lost.  53 years later it has been found and is to be released by Ace Records, Harlesden, London this month(June 29th) on a compilation CD.  As lead guitarist Martin was over here from Australia for a holiday I managed to get all the original members back together and make a video of the recording.  We have a combined age of 380 years so a little older than The Rolling Stones who we once supported!!  The late Ian Stewart (the 5th Stone) was a good friend of ours and he loved this song and The Stones actually included their version on their Decca album Out of Our Heads - I always thought that was a bit odd I mean our version lost and they bring it out!

I recently bought Keith Emerson's 'Off the shelf' album. I am a HUGE ELP/Nice fan but I often feel that Emerson needed other musicians to keep him in check music-wise. He gripes about Greg Lake but Mr. Lake seems to have kept Emerson's tendency to ramble and waffle in some sort of context. Tarkus must be a perfect example.

Keith was awesome in ELP but his solo albums often weary me a bit which is sad for he must be the single biggest influence on my own piano-playing.

He certainly was a showman. Saw the Nice just after they released the America single. Keith's playing was exemplary. He did the whole rewiring of his Hammond and the knives in the keyboard thing. A great show. I think his takes on classical music were some of his best work. Pictures at an Exhibition is still my favourite ELP album.

I saw Boston at Giants of Rock in January this year and even though they are a bit older these days (aren't we all?) and the line-up has changed several times they were very good. If you've never been to Giants of Rock I would strongly recommend it, I go every year. Already booked for 2019 at a cost of £184 each based on 4 people sharing an apartment and including breakfast, lunch and dinner over 3 nights. Add all the bands to that and I'm sure you'll agree it is a great price. The band line-up is as below at the moment but as anyone who is a regular there will know, it is likely to change several times before the big weekend.

Tanya Donelly and Kim Deal respectively... fantastic. Women in music with loud guitars.

I've just installed some old Pioneer surround sound speakers I found in the attic last week.

@crewearpley40 (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=3894) They are in their 80s but are the noisiest neighbours I've ever experienced ::) I suspect some deafness on their part contributes to a TV volume battle at times but at others I put rock music on at volume 11. One of them likes to use the vacuum cleaner at 06.30, one pees like a Co-op carthorse, their little dog yaps, they don't realise that turny items on doors/windows allows them to shut things quietly rather than slam them, and one likes making/smashing things indoors and in the workshop at all times of night or day.

Imagine Dragons

"Origins"

I 'discovered' Imagine Dragons whilst sitting in the Hard Rock Cafe at the harbour side in Baltimore.

I suddenly realised I was drumming on the table to a track which I couldn't get out of my head, it eventually came round on the loop again and it turned out to be 'Whatever it takes' by Imagine Dragons.

I bought the Evolve album when I got back to the UK, and the wife got me the 'Origins' album for Christmas, it hasn't been out of the van CD player since.

Lucky man! Floyd and Led Zeppelin were my two who got away. Living in the far north I could only see bands live at Newcastle and those two never played while I was there.

Iagree - Rory live was great, he really seemed to enjoy just playing for the fun of it and always rid well over 2 hours.
Although I saw Led Zep, like you Pink Floyd got away as did the Moody Blues who I really would've lkd to see live.
Other than that, I saw most of the other bands of the late 60s/early 70s.

Sorry for the delay in replying, Martin.

Great Spotted Woodpecker.  I've only seen him a couple of times, and, given the passing of the years, I might have seen different generations of Woody.  A bit like Percy, our resident blackbird, who has possibly not been in our garden since we moved here 28 1/2 years ago.  Doesn't stop me saying, "'Morning Percy!" when I see him, though... 

I've only ever seen one Green Woodpecker.  In Peterborough!  Probably called a 'Yaffle' there.

It's noisy metal, not for the faint hearted!

Not sure about this album yet (it only came out today), but I'm sure it'll grow on me.  It's a modern take on their earlier songs.

Post by: crewearpley40 on July 20, 2019, 01:27:57 AM
well last night ....


Karina Canellakis made history, as the first woman to conduct the First Night of the BBC Proms.   Her opening night kicked off with a complex, layered new work by Canadian composer Zosha Di Castri.

Long Is the Journey - Short Is the Memory was commissioned to mark the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, and explored everything from the dark, brooding exploration of space to man's first weightless steps on the lunar surface.

Di Castri managed to convey the eerie loneliness of that first moonwalk in a section where the orchestra rubbed together paper bags, blew compressed air into milk bottles, and scraped tuning keys across harp strings, while a lone oboe represented the awestruck wonder of astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong.

The chorus, meanwhile, sang an evocative text by Chinese-British author Xiaolu Guo: "We stepped out and bounced, skipped, swang wide, set the flag on the silent lunar surface."

Researching the piece left a major impression on the composer, who had never before considered the monumental human effort behind the Moon landings.

sure to look out for the recording if that interested but i just switched on the radio, twiddled knobs and what ? i said ....

sounded interesting !!!!!


so i had to check the www.bbc.co.uk (http://www.bbc.co.uk)

Dancing Queen.... but a fabulous metal cover by the stupendously preposterous ReinXeed on their "Swedish Hitz [sic] Goes Metal" album of mostly ABBA covers. The remarkable, pudgy-faced Tommy ReinXeed sings and plays his guitar while his, as one internet commentator described, "(expletive deleted) magnificent hair" flows all around the place.

A work of genius, or total (expletive deleted)? You decide!

I'm posting this in an attempt at exorcism - I'm not listening to this song, but it has been stuck in my brain for days and I need to eradicate the evil earworm.

Back in 1977, there was a hell-spawn single born of a record company joke, and a John Peel "I played it by mistake" claim. This song made number 1 on the BBC singles chart and is by far the most execrable drivel that has seen the light of a music day. I had managed to forget about it for 42 years until last week, when sadly I clicked on a YouTube "One-Hit Wonders from the UK 70's" link and was immediately struck senseless, unable to hit mute, as the ghastly musical [redacted] hit me again with the fury of a repressed hell-hound.

They say a problem shared is a problem halved, so here's hoping some people read this and sympathize. I can't go on like this.

I saw them in 2009 at the Millenium stadium in Cardiff. I had a rubbish phone for videos then:

Yep, the 360 tour. I saw the Australian leg in November of 2010.

Unfortunately, nine years later, I'm relegated to babysitting duties. There's another concert tonight that we could have gone to, but with my foot still in a moonboot, I've abandoned the idea.

Getting old sucks.  :thumbsdown:

Impressive U2 sacrifice there. The Management and I saw the concert at the Rose Bowl in 2017 when the Joshua Tree Tour was kicking off. I still have the vinyl of the original release, I would have worn it flat by now if CD and MP4 hadn't been invented.

Great concert, one of the best we've ever seen, and we have a lot to pick from between the two of us.

I think we have similar taste in music as I can often tell from the music it's you posting before I see the name.
Here's one of my Lizzy favourites with the same line-up as when I saw them at Bristol Colston Hall on their farewell tour :(

It's a great track. I have Vagabonds, Fighting and Jailbreak, but went off music in the late 70s so haven't heard much of their later stuff. I might just have to buy Thunder and Lightning. I see Scott Gorham is still playing with the Black Star Riders.

I consider myself to have been very lucky to have seen Black Star Riders at Butlins a few years ago (2015 maybe?) just when they were starting to become well known. I never saw Lizzy but when I clsoed my eyes and listened I could have sworn that's who I was listening to. Brought a tear to my eye it did  :'(

Whilst busy constructing buildings for my new layout this afternoon, I've been listening to Circles Around the Sun.
i like listening to something New to me and a bit different so if you like slightly spaced out, laid back psychedelic rock (but instrumental) these guys might interest you. Loosely influenced by the Grateful Dead and perhaps, Jefferson Starship (but with a tighter jazzier feel) they are well worth a listen.

I'm completely rocked out after a weekend at Butlins for Giants of Rock so not listening to anyone right now. However, this is who I saw:

Friday
Oliver Dawson Saxon (Brilliant)
Sons of Liberty (Loud)
The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (Odd)
John Verity Band (Outstanding and we gave him another duck)

Saturday
Hawkwind (Best I've seen them yet as far as I remember)
Les Binks' Priesthood (Pretty good)
Bernie Marsden (Brilliant as usual)
The Quireboys (Good as usual but all tracks very samey)

Sunday
Big Country (5 minutes was enough and I still don't know why I bothered having felt the same previously)
Malone Sibun Band (Good stuff and Innes comes from Devizes so I may be a little biased)
Praying Mantis (JARB Just another Rock Band I'm afraid)

All in all a great weekend with plenty of beer and a bottle of JD Honey consumed. No more beer for me this week. Maybe.

Playing a new game on the car/ipod selection - go to Albums, then select any album displayed at the start of the list - something like eight to choose from, listen to said album then return to browse, go one page down select one album from the eight and repeat...

Over the last week of doing this starting at the bottom (z - album titles) working up I have listened to everything from Jeff Wayne, Ibiza Chillout, The Cure, Texas, REM...

It is an interesting game as have found music I forgot I had!!

Rather than risk my iPod being nicked from the car I have a 32GB memory stick with some 7500 toons on it. Nice to just press 'Shuffle' sometimes and see what comes along

It is an ipod from the last century I think so not an issue and is hidden away - yes shuffle can be interesting!

My iPod is pretty venerable as well - no-one will nick it so I don't have a reason suitable for SWMBO for its replacement.

I once had two versions of 'Cocaine' played in succession when I had it on shuffle - the original by JJ Cale and ECs inferior knock-off...

The A side takes you around Heathrow airport or London airport as it was then. I found this in a box of old records retrieved from my mum when she sadly passed away 3 years ago. It's gripping stuff!

Dolly Parton followed by Muse was interesting, but I've also taken the chance to delete some of the real rubbish tracks that I never listen too.

I only found out about this yesterday when I read her obituary. Like, as you say, many men of a certain age I was immoderately smitten by her when I was in my late teens, much to my then girlfriend's displeasure... (Hang on a minute - I wonder if that's why she dumped me?) She was still a striking looking woman even at the end of her life. I had several of her albums which I disposed of many years later when I was having a clearout and now bitterly regret.

@zopadooper (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=3741) I envy you your anniversary gig!

Going off slightly at a tangent, but I couldn't decide what other topic to put it under and it wasn't worth starting another thread...

We are currently having our back fence replaced (no worries, man working on his own, we're staying in...). He's come accompanied by a portable radio as many workmen do. It's a bit intrusive, especially as his chosen musical style all seems to contain the same bass riff, but we can live with that. What amuses us is why you would have the radio on while wearing ear defenders.  ???  Go figure.

We saw her at the Great British Folk Festvial at Butlins Skegness in December 2018.  She did an excellent set.  We were wanting to book someone of our era for our party in July 2019.  I picked up an email address on the internet, emailed and it was all booked within a couple of days.  She arrived mid-afternoon, performed in the evening, stayed with us chatting for most of the night, slept next door in the B&B, had breakfast with us and left after lunch.  A super memorable evening.

Much listened to at school back in 1974 was a tape of Purple Mk 3 on Radio 1s 'In Concert' program, actually available to buy/stream these days as Deep Purple Live in London.

After introducing the rest of the band and doing his Tommy Cooper impressions, the late Mr Lord introduced himself as Rick Emerson ;D

I usually think the original is better unless it's a much different version (e.g. Frijid Pink's House of the Rising Sun) but that version of 'Getting Better' is very good although a bit weak on the vocals :hmmm:

Gentlemen, very interesting to see Yes in this thread. May I draw to your attention a new CD released by Fragile, a Yes tribute band with a twist, featuring the wonderful Claire Hamill on vocals. This CD "Golden Fragments" is highly recommended and gives a big nod to classic Yes but is very distinctive in its own right. Also featured on this CD is Clive Bayley (vocals) latterly of Mabel Greer's Toyshop, a forerunner of Yes. If you recall, the cover of Claire's first album "One House Left Standing" (1971) was shot in a disused railway yard with the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge in the background. The Fragile CD should soon be available from Claire's website https://clairehamill.co.uk/, please check it out for her recent releases and videos. Also on YouTube Music are some live performances by Fragile, for example https://youtu.be/c31eg6KvCKo

Was listening to Hip Priest just the other day. Mark E Smith was a legend. Loved The Fall for over forty years.

Current listening is ;
Car: Portion Control - I Staggered Mentally (Early 80s post-Industrial Electronics - one of my favourite bands)

Office: Man Eat Man Eat Man - eponymous LP (Recent post-punk/post-Industrial band, spin-off from Naevus, my current favourite band)

Phone: On shuffle, so anything from The Fall to Severed Heads, Death In June to Nurse With Wound, Gary Numan to Nocturnal Emissions....

Home: Tom Waits - Closing Time / Goldfrapp - Seven Trees / The Specials - Encore

Yes Port Peran ,What I like about Rumer is
1 that she doesnt sing through her nose
2 she dosent sing in her knickers
3 she doesnt prance around waving her hands everywhere
4 you can hear every word she sings.
5 she sings a variety of types of music  mostly I would say eay listening ,but some country ,some allmost pop ,and the latest one is all by one song writer a guy called Hugh Prestwood ,she is now going to write some more of her own songs for the next CD
But most of all she does contact her fans and answer her Messages on Facsbook Messenger ,when she moved back to the Uk she sent everyone a postcard from  Macon the place she lived in America with her little boy and her husband .
I wish I could afford to see her live at the Concert at Birmingham Town `Hall on 9th March next year two days after my 74th birthday .
But I dont think I can find that much money ,fingers crossed she told me on messenger that it might be possible to add High Wycombe onto the list of concerts next year as we do have a nice Theatre .

Yes Philip and  Mick I don't understand Why so mant female so called singers have to go on stage with their tits nearly falling  out and skimpy costumes  ,not that I object to that  but  If thats what I wanted to see I would go to a strip club ,I wouldnt expect a stripper to stand on the stage and sing so why do the so called singers have to nearly strip to get attention surely a singer should be judged by her voice not what she shows . Any way back to the thread I have just been listening to a very early CD from a group Rumer was in before she became a well known singer it a group called La Honda from 2013 .she was then in a group called Stereo Venus which will be my next thing to listen to ,then it will be back to a Folk `Group called Tudor Lodge .

The music is instrumental, basically extended bluesy guitar solos against an electronic background.

Does anyone know anything about this guy ?

I can't find any info on the internet.

Thanks in advance.

Hi John,

You did ask so...

Train room - CDs but not many to choose from as most are in my van.

On computer (which is downstairs) - Youtube with headphones on as the good lady is working from home or watching TV.

When she's out walking the dogs - Alexa and LOUD!!!  :headbang: Sod the neighbours. Think they're deaf anyway  :).

PS. I mean Alexa the music machine thingy in case it's the name of a band  ;)

Invariably I play my own music, via iPod + dock, stack system with 6CD multiplay or maybe on my laptop via iTunes. Car has my iTunes library on a USB.
I do like crescendos - things like
Yes - Starship Trooper
Steve Hackett - Shadow of the Hierophant
King Crimson - Epitaph
Renaissance - Ashes are burning (currently playing)
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

They gives me goosebumps :)

I listen almost exclusively via Spotify.
All my CDs and vinyl are in the loft. It's probably 10 years since I played any of them.
Much of my listening involves music that is new to me. I do listen to some old/familiar stuff but to me the beauty of Spotify is that it allows you to search out new artists based on something that you currently enjoy.
It's all down to personal preference of course.

If you like crescendos you might give this a try if you don't already know it.
McDonald & Giles were part of the original King Crimson line up (one of my favourite bands when I were a lad - saw them at least six times).
I suggest skipping forward to approx 39:10 if you just want the crescendo bit.

So, having never been a TH fan I'm giving the lp Remain In Light a listen and it's not bad at all.

I'm listening to a CD but I was at this gig and have seen the Quireboys several times. Fantastic live band where Spike (vocals) probably drinks more vodka in 1 gig than I have in my lifetime.

Two not dissimilar tracks 10 years apart from two very different bands....

I've had 2 cancellations of gigs so far (aside from many local ones) and have postponed them to pretty much the same date the following year.

Aussie Floyd at Bath Forum is now November 2021 (This was originally scheduled for next Friday)

Giants of Rock festival now January 2022 (originally January 2021 featuring Walter Trout amongst others. I was really looking forward to seeing WT and hope he will be at the rearranged festival).

John - did you watch Nick Mason's Saucerful of secrets' afterwards. That was an interesting surprise with lots of older Floyd stuff being played. Somewhat decadently I watched it in bed with a glass of Southern Comfort :)

I did indeed. Thought I said that in my last reply though  :hmmm:

I have seen it before and yes, very interesting. Also Brian Johnson with Nick Mason was on afterwards. I'm not a fan of Brian Johnson as a TV type of person although I love ACDC. The programme is good and Nick Mason has a huge collection of vintage cars worth millions. He keeps them not far from here but I'm not allowed to say where  :uneasy:

He's also auctioning a load of amps and other stuff soon somewhere near here if you're interested as I know you're rich  :D

I'm very much into the band Talco, ska punk from Venice, Italy, at the moment. Their album 'Live in Iruna' is great.

I agree regarding Lindisfarne but then it was often like that back then (according to my dad). I think there were a lot more 'cult' bands as such who weren't interested in getting into the top 20 etc, they just enjoyed what they did and didn't promote themselves like they do today.

Apart from their local following I reckon Lindisfarne were hugely under rated :(

My current 'earworm' is Echoes from Floyds Meddle
One of the best bands I saw live (Lindisfarne that is not Pink Floyd) - especially around their Fog on the Tyne era.

Nothing :( I turned my system on the other day and got silence.

I have tracked it down to the power-amp and as both channels have failed at the same time, I thought that it must be the ECC82 valve that is common to both. Changing that has not helped, so it'll have to wait until the weekend, so I can dig out the details and check voltages at all the test points.

It may be a power rail has gone down, both ECC83s have failed together or the relay that keeps the output off until the valves have had time to warm up. It seems unlikely that 2 or 3 out of 4 of the EL34s in each quad have failed together.

Not listening either, but reading this for the fourth time, I love it. That drummer is only a couple of years older than me, and I was listening to all that Bowie stuff right through college, so I can identify with most of the anecdotes in the book.

Bowie could obviously be a not very nice person when he chose to be not nice. He sacked the drummer on his wedding day!

26 years. I built it from the Velleman K4000 kit (£650 back in 1995 IIRC).

(https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/gallery/108/5329-140421085741.jpeg) (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view&id=108540)

Velleman later superseded it with the K4040. Exactly the same amplifier, but with led bargraphs hidden behind the cover, that could be used for setting the bias trim pots every so often (whereas I have to use a digital meter to set them accurately) and chrome rings to cover the bases of the EL34s.

They were still selling the K4040 until fairly recently I think, but it is now discontinued.

I love the sound of water, a couple of years ago, SWMBO and I spent a couple of nights at the Chainbridge Hotel (it won't let me copy a link) for our anniversary.  Our room overlooked the River Dee and there are rapids just there.  The sound of the water lulled us both to sleep and those two nights were probably the best nights sleep I've had for years.

Fleetwood Mac's 'Tusk' which, to my mind, could have been condensed to 1 vinyl album as there is some dubious stuff over the 2.
There are some truly great tracks such as 'Sara', 'Beautiful Child', 'Brown Eyes' and this rocker along the lines of 'The Chain' - the sort of AOR they excel at........

it must be an age thing,
but I keep listening to the Wolfe Tones.

don't really care about the politics of some of their songs,
they just remind me of my first posting [ to a certain RAF station then turned later into an army barracks] when we used to go to a certain pub, [later blown up with terrible casualties], and listen to great music, regardless of it's political persuasion.

for a while I feel 22 again, though not for long. too many years have passed, but things seemed much clearer / simpler in those days.

or is it just the passing of time that changes our perception ?

Just a quick heads-up for any Spotify users (and yes I realise I'm way ahead of the majority of people on this :-) ); but I found Spotify do "daily mix" playlists which are comprised of all your favourite listens plus others from similar genre's. It's amazing how many new songs/groups/singers I've found this way that fit perfectly to my taste but I never knew they existed!

I use Spotify all the time and find it really good..
As well as Daily Mix playlists you should get a Discover Weekly playlist on Mondays aimed at introducing new artists based on your past listening history.
Great for sharing tracks etc with others as well.
Also, when you are listening to an artist it's good to the Fans Also Like link which takes you to similar artists to the one you are listening to.

Just wish there was a DVD of it :(

Well, it seems I'm late to the party yet again.  Only come across Muse in the last month or so. This track blows me away and really love it with headphones on and very loud.  At 69 I don't have to worry about premature deafness.  Enjoy.

Mussorgsky 'Night on the bare mountain' - a hugely descriptive piece which, to my mind, ranks alongside much Wagner and Saint-Saens 'Danse Macabre' for sheer visualisation of the subject matter.

From the municipal library, if I see a golden oldie CD that I used to like on vinyl , I usually give it a go, so I picked off the shelf Cat Steven's Tea for the Tillerman 2, not realising it was a 2, and thinking it was the 1970 original.

I'm working my way through it and apart from long intros and an electronic keyboardy sound, not bad, well, ...fair.
I've played some of the tracks and thought this is ok now, but, how good was this 50 years ago.

Ok, not right now but last night I saw Carl Palmer's ELP Legacy and took this video. The whole performance was awesome and I should add that Paul Bielatowicz on lead and vocals and Simon Fitzpatrick on bass and Chapman stick were equally brilliant. The only downside is that the acoustics in the Corn Exchange in Devizes are awful but the sound guys did an amazing job too.
Here we are then with the track which most people know even if they're not ELP fans:

This sounds like a bit of fun Joe but getting it down to 8 is very difficult.
In fact, getting it down to less than 100 is nigh impossible so I've gone for 12 (and in no particular order) :

Northern Skies by I am Kloot
Beautiful War by Kings of Leon
Mykonos by The Fleet Foxes
White Bird by It's a Beautiful Day
On the Boards by Taste
Red Eyes by The War on Drugs
Love Song by Brinsley Schwarz
Oil Rigs at Night by The Delines
Apocalypse by Cigarettes After Sex
Texas Sun by Khruangbin
Midnight in Harlem by Tedeschi Trucks Band
Koop Island Blues by Koop

I listen to a LOT of music so I could choose literally hundreds of favourites but if I was stuck on a desert island I don't think I'd get bored with the ones I've chosen.

I've just listened to your selection.
Quite an interesting bunch if I may say so.
The only one I don't like is number 6 I'm afraid (I have never taken to that hymn) and maybe I prefer Otis Redding's version of Louie Louie but then that's down to personal choice.
Thanks fr suggesting this idea - hopefully a few others will chip in with selections.

Rumer has a very pleasant voice and it works well here in this setting @port perran (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=230) and @Bob Tidbury (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=3442)

The Pink Fairies is a completely different kettle of fish @Newportnobby (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=264) I saw them live at the Roundhouse, London in 1975, where they were joined by some of Hawkwind, it was very loud and there was a strange but pleasant smoky haze in the auditorium. Stray was the support act. I particularly like "War Girl" from "Never Never Land" along with other little ditties such as "Do It" and "Uncle Harry's Last Freak Out"...

My last CD purchase was "Black Acid Soul" by Lady Blackbird 10/10 if you like smoky jazz.

I have been trying to not buy CDs for a while and listen to anything interestingly new on Spotify. However, I have just bought "Animals" (2018 Remix) by Pink Floyd. I only ever had this on tape first time around and enjoyed it then. It has stood the test of time well and the remix does it proud. Although a fan of Pink Floyd since hearing "Meddle" shortly after it's release I felt "Animals" was the last good Pink Floyd album before things fell apart. "The Wall" could make a good single album otherwise a bit too sprawly for me - I even prefer bits of "Ummagumma"!

@AndrewPH - I was introduced to PT about 12 years ago, and now have several of SW's solo releases. The track "Luminol" from TRTRTS is probably my favourite but there is plenty to choose from. I have yet to listen to his latest. "Home Invasion" is spectacular on my TV/HiFi set up.

Title: Re: what are you listening to at the moment?

There are so many PT/SW tracks I like. Anesthetize (spelling?) is definitely in my top 5 (Alex Lifeson is one of my favourite guitarists), along with Arriving Somewhere But Not Here. And Hand.Cannot.Erase is probably my favourite SW solo album.

I've never seen him live, and probably never will, but the concert videos are all great. And being a keyboard player I love all the amazing textures that Richard Barbieri creates for PT.

I do quite like some Floyd (Wish You Were Here is probably my fave), though these days I find myself leaning towards the newer prog and post rock artists, like Ihlo, Leprous, Vola, The Mute Gods (Nick Beggs is a massively underrated talent), The Pineapple Thief, Tiger Lou, etc. And PT/SW of course. Muse is always a great listen when I'm in a foot-stomping mood. And King Crimson or Yes when I'm feeling complicated lol.

I agree @AndrewPH that Nick Beggs is massively underrated as well as being a thoroughly nice chap(man stick - boom boom). I must admit that I am slowing down a bit in terms of discovering new acts but will look up your bands on Spotify. I first saw KC in 1973 and again in 2015 and prefer their early stuff. Yes were good in the early 70s but I never saw them live. Caravan were a big favourite along with Hawkwind, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Van Der Graaf Generator to name but a few.

Perhaps not for all die hard fans but it works for me as I like a wide range of musical genres. "The Impossible Tightrope" is superb... I think the man is a genius.

Tubular Bells is of course amazing, but I've found I like the long build up and layering in Hergest Ridge Part 1.  There are a couple of wacky bits on the album but you have to expect that with Oldfield :)

Both excellent tracks from @Newportnobby - I always thought "Physical Graffiti" could have been stripped down to be a fantastic single album (rather than a double album). A bit like Pink Floyd's "The Wall"....

As for Led Zeppelin, they were never one of my favourites being somewhat over rated in my opinion but I did see them twice in the early 70s.
One of the occasions was on a "Return to the Clubs" tour at Bath Pavillion.
The whole tour was largely unadvertised and low key hence the place was half empty but it was a great atmosphere

I wonder why they didn't go out with me after that :hmmm:  :-[

obviously they didn't like Led Zep  ;)

I then listened to some Eric Johnson. I love Cliffs of Dover  :music:

Not really my sort of music but I love this and just watched him on YouTube as well.
He can certainly play and this track rocks along at a good old pace.
Great stuff

Here is one for you to try out Martin, @port perran . Steve Hackett and Djabe (a Hungarian jazz band)

https://youtu.be/7hjTgzQx1ew?si=6FNVAomM2TespEmz

Originally a Genesis track from "Selling England by the Pound". A soulful solo by Mr Hackett.

Somewhere on YouTube is a mind boggling version of "Los Endos" from "A Trick of the Tale" (my favourite Genesis album) from the same band. I will now give Ghost Note a listen.

Found it https://youtu.be/2r5UYV1oVec?si=Do4wHj3kEvsnuO77

Not many people know of Eric Johnson but as you say, he can certainly play. I was going to link to a live version of Cliffs of Dover but if you don't already know the track you may have stopped listening after about a minute as he does like a long intro. It's one of my favourite singalong whilst driving tracks even though it's instrumental, I sing along with the guitar rather than the non-existent vocals. Maybe I should record me singing along to it and post it here  :no:

Great choice @Newportnobby . Have you heard this by Amanda Lehmann (the second guitarist on "Shadow...")? Not only is she a great guitarist but she also has a soft spot for trains and she is Steve Hackett's sister-in-law.

Glad that you enjoyed at least one of them Martin @port perran . "Los Endos" needs to be played loud!

Of your recommendations I think I prefer Ezra Collective, a bit more quirky and I love the keyboardist, it looks like he is enjoying every moment of it.

An excellent album Mick @Newportnobby ("In every Dream Home a Heartache).

Just a few days after my 15th birthday, I went to my very first rock concert, Alice Cooper, supported by Roxy Music at the Empire Poll, Wembley, London (30 June 1972) - what an induction, dead baby dolls, snakes and the gallows! I did buy "School's Out", but Roxy Music and Brian Ferry are most likely to be listened to now.

Good days. At that precisely same day, I had a vacation job serving petrol at a service station near Sunderland.

I was listening to Schools out while I was pumping juice.

The thing I remember was going home covered in oil and crap and smelling of petrol. But me Dad thought it was great because I'd finally got a real job  ::)

From Hawkwind's latest album "The Future Never Waits", a million miles away from "Silver Machine", see what you think.

 https://youtu.be/IvTazGa5X8E?si=8DPSJF0or-_S2thb

"They are so easily distracted"

I think it is their best album for a long time.

Not sure about that track, I may need to listen to the whole album. Not exactly what I remember hearing at the 'henge in 1984 or several other times elsewhere.
Title: Re: what are you listening to at the moment?
Post by: Moonglum on October 20, 2023, 10:04:21 PM
Hi John @Trainfish, do listen to the album. A few tracks sound like Hawkwind as you may remember them. Dave Brock is the only original member and in his early 80s now. I like the album because it mixes it up a bit.

Cheers,

Tim
Title: Re: what are you listening to at the moment?
Post by: Trainfish on October 21, 2023, 12:28:42 AM
I will certainly give it a go as I have seen them many times over the years and do like pretty much all of their stuff, although sometimes you get a track which you need to listen to a few times, maybe your example was one of those.
Dave has always recruited well over 50+ years of Hawkwind. I first saw them in 1980, and the last time I saw them was at Butlins in Minehead in 2020. It was just two months after seeing them at the Royal Albert Hall for the 50th anniversary gig when they were very good but strangely I thought they were better at Minehead.
I will have to do a hunt for the full album on YouTube and if I like it I will definitely buy it as I'm not a fan of downloading music, I prefer to have the CD or vinyl in my possession.

Gents, @Trainfish and @port perran ,

I am glad that the track was more of a "Hit" than a "Miss". I saw Hawkwind live in 1972 and 1973 both times at the Sundown Edmonton, London. I shouted out "Silver Machine" quite a few times at the second gig and eventually Dave Brock said "This is for the bloke at the back and it's called "Washing Machine" - true! One 16 year old most chuffed.

So was I, with both her and the stroboscopic lighting it was all too much - hence a "Brainstorm"!  By the way, Martin @port perran I was at a "Covenanter" camp at Polzeath in the summer of 1972 and we had a trip to Truro and went by boat down to Falmouth to the visit the docks. We were given some free time and my friend and I headed to a local record shop and listened to "In Search of Space" on the back of "Silver Machine" being a hit, and thus a new Hawkwind fan was born...to go...

I gave that track 2 minutes or so and thought it was more jazz fusion a la Camel than the Hawkwind of old. I saw them several times in the days of 'In Search of Space' and 'The Space Ritual' but also like the avant garde aspect of their first album.
Favourite track of theirs - Orgone Accumulator off Space Ritual. Simon King's drumming and Lemmie's bass are just awesome
Title: Re: what are you listening to at the moment?
Post by: Moonglum on October 21, 2023, 04:50:26 PM
Mick, towards the end of the track the jazz fusion thing fugues into something a bit more Hawkwindish! But it's nothing like "Orgone Accumulator", Nic Turner's (RIP) sax does a lot for OA as well as the rhythm section.

Hi Martin,

Interesting that you should say that about Claire, in one of her own comments she said she was pushing her singing a bit. I have quite a few of her albums and find I really like some of her songs and not others. Her album "Voices" was clever and interesting and way ahead of its time.

One of my recent favourites.

Ah....I wondered what was coming but I didn't even need to listen to Nine Feet Underground.
Caravan were part of the legendary "Canterbury Sound". I probably saw them three times. They were quite superb and Nine Feet Underground is, to my mind, a masterpiece.
I first heard it on the John Peel Show in probably 1971 (aged 17) and I was hooked.
Wonderful music but I agree, not so good now.

Thanks Martin @port perran . I first saw them at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane when they recorded "Caravan and The New Symphonia" live album. The original line up was the best but with so many personnel comings and goings I thought "Blind Dog at St. Dunstans" was their last decent offering and lost touch with them after that for a long while. I last saw them in January 2013 in London but the magic had gone a bit and sometimes I think some things are best left alone. Richard Coughlan (drums) died later in this year and had been ill for a while and was not playing and I wasn't keen on his replacement. I am not sure if I would want to see them again. Delighted that you are a fan and appreciate the unmistakable talent they had in the 70s mixing rock, prog, folk and jazz! I am listening to the "The Dabsong Conshirtoe" (SIC) as I type - brilliant

I never saw Taste but did see Rory Gallagher with his band about 4 times.
My partner, Lorraine, saw him at least a dozen times.
One of the finest, yet relatively little known, guitarists of the 60s/70s his life was tragically cut short.
I saw him on one memorable evening at Devizes Corn Exchange when we had a power cut.
Undeterre, Rory sat on the edge of the stage in virtual darkness and played a 2.5 hour acoustic set.

Also very tasty (boom-boom!) from @port perran . Indeed a fine guitarist (Rory Gallagher) from the golden era of music. Great backing on drums, bass and I believe Rory on sax. Thanks for posting Martin.

Cheers,

Tim

PS It sounds like both you and Lorraine have been to a lot of good gigs!

Gosh, I have just spotted that it is almost 50 years ago to the day when I first saw Caravan - 28 October 1973!

Where does the time go.... ooh Sandy Denny/Fairport Convention.

Now...I never saw them for some reason but Liege and Lief was as inspirational album and still one of my favourites.

As for bands, we have both seen quite a few.
Growing up (aged 17-20ish) I used to go to a tiny venue in Devizes - The Corn Exchange.
Many of the big bands of the day used it to do warm up gigs before big British tours.
We saw loads back in the day - Hawkwind, Yes, King Crimson, Curved Air, Rory, Lindisfarne, Focus, Chicken Shack, Edgar Broughton, Strawbs, Man those are just a few straight off the top of my head.
Others we used to see at Bath and Bristol.
They were great days and great music.
I'm still very much into music but have moved on. I love discovering new artists.

That's someone else for me to investigate further.

Now...going back to bands I saw in the early 70s, these were, at the time, a revelation.
Osibisa were great fun and so enthusiastic.
I saw them twice once at Devizes and once at Chrltenham suppirted by, if I remember correctly, Capability Brown.

I Am Kloot Another great little band with a marvellous name that we first saw supporting The Bluetones at The Cavern in Exeter in about 2005.

We saw them again at Glastonbury in 2010 when guitarist John Bramwell also performed a solo acoustic set in "The Garden" including this, my favourite track :

https://youtu.be/coyu6OyWJwU?si=pwQm-M8RIbpjBwHs

We saw them yet again at Glasto in 2013

They might take a bit of getting used to but well worth further listening.

Not sure if I've posted this before but I recently submitted this video as the railway song of the week for the Upstairs Downstairs (https://www.trainshop.co.uk/) weekly newsletter. It was included in last week's newsletter with a huge thank you from Max at the shop  :D
The song was written to commemorate the last train from Devizes on April the 18th 1966 (at 19:36) when that Beeching bloke vandalised our railways.
There are some great shots of this wonderful town and plenty of videos of trains in and around the area, albeit some of them are almost as old as @Newportnobby so neither are the best quality and are of course both showing their age  :P
I know all of the band members personally as they are all Devizes residents (and British Lion regulars, Clare actually works behind the bar) and Martin @port perran may even recognise a couple as he met/saw them very briefly at the beer festival. The video of the band was filmed at the Bell by the Green, just along from the British Lion, many years ago.
I hope you enjoy it  :beers:


EDIT: I forgot to add that there's a good article published by the Cornwall Railway Society all about the Devizes line which can be seen here (http://www.cornwallrailwaysociety.org.uk/devizes-branch.html#:~:text=Both%20locos%20happily%20survive%20in%20preservation%2C%20D1010%20at,had%20been%20withdrawn%20on%20the%2016th%20April%201966.) if you're interested.

Lydeway bridge was where I started 'spotting. Saw my very first HST there in the late 1970s and thought it was brilliant! I've been in love with them ever since. Loads of class 50s too with several 47s, 37s, 56s. They were proper locos and trains  :D

That's brilliant John.
I don't particularly remember those band members but we did meet a lot of people at the beer festival.
The film brings back memories of spotting at Trowbridge in the very early sixties. I remember what we termed the "Devizes Tankie" with a local goods for Devizes from Westbury.

I was in Devizes very briefly on Saturday morning but didn't see a bloke in a tou tou wandering about.

While I was away at the weekend someone asked me what was my favourite live track or maybe the best ever live track.
I had a think and came up with Lindisfarne with We Can Swing Together

https://youtu.be/W7VnGeWJeHs?si=mzBM4CbgyKuZYPRZ

Certainly not a masterpiece and it won't be to everyone's taste.
I saw Lindisfarne twice in the early 70s. They were a great live act if a bit rough around the edges but tremendous fun.
This track, recorded in the band's native Newcastle certainly captures the essence of live performances in the early 70s.
The band had a knack for getting everyone involved and enjoying themselves.
Does anyone have any other ideas for atmospheric live tracks?

Mind you, looking at the DMU it's had a harder life than I have.

I saw Free in Northampton when 'All Right Now' was just released but this is my favourite of their live act, especially the brilliant bass by Andy Fraser (I also saw Lindisfarne a couple of times)

What an interesting challenge from Martin @port perran . I am not that familiar with Lindisfarne I am afraid...

Good choice @Newportnobby - a truly great band! For something a bit more contemporary, my favourite performance by Nightwish. The version at Wacken 2013 is pretty hot as well.

When I was a lad, I was given a tatty copy of "Nice Enough to Eat", an Island Records sampler released in 1969. This record was pivotal in introducing me to many of bands of the day inc. Free and consequently helped shape my musical tastes. NETE was one of at least 3 samplers released by Island. I had another sampler called "Wowie Zowie" also released in 1969 by Decca, which featured The Moody Blues and very early Genesis. Vertigo Records released sampler(s) as well. They were all good enough to be records in their own right.

Cheers,

Fantastic Mick, I remember the first two Island samplers well, the CBS one, but not the others. The Vertigo one was called "Suck it and See". I had had another one called "Handle with Care" with a spider on the cover - bit bluesy for me at the time. I would imagine you have a very very very large collection of music.

A marvellous little live band hailing from Hounslow in West London.
They invariably finish their concerts with If which is great to sing along with.

I bought a Sony stack system when we moved into our new house in 1981, but sold it around about 1994. Why, I don't recall, but I realise now it was one of the silliest things I ever did.

Sound gear back then was quality stuff, I've never had sound as good since. The turntable was particularly excellent. It was some other brand that I don't recall.

And yes, I still listen to those sampler discs.

An excellent track Mick @Newportnobby . I bought this album on its release from Our Price Records on the Edgware Road, London along with Renaissance's "Novella" album. "Moon Madness" is good but "The Snow Goose" doesn't quite get it right for me. The addition of Richard Sinclair (ex Caravan and Hatfield and the North) on bass and vocals brought an improvement to Camel.

Cheers,

Thanks Tim. That's very nice. I particularly like Bananas but it has always been one of my favourite tracks.

And @Newportnobby . Thanks for the Camel video. I never saw them and know little about them but I like your clip so I'll investigate further.

Now, here's another band from the 1970s. A San Francisco psychedelic rock/folk outfit fronted by David and Linda LaFlamme.
I never saw them, indeed I'm not sure if they ever toured in the UK.
This is It's a Beautiful Day with what is, in my opinion, their best track - White Bird.
I bought the album after listening to it in the sound booth (remember those?) of my local record shop :

Thank you for posting Martin, my notes from my spread sheet of concerts attended notes:

"Back Door was an interesting jazz trio but Argent was a good knees or "heads" up in total contrast!"

We saw Argent at Brunel University, Uxbridge on 31 January 1975 supported by Back Door. I must admit I never really explored their albums but did like "Hold Your Head Up".  Unfortunately, "God Gave Rock and Roll to You" drives me potty - especially the Kiss version! I didn't realise Rod Argent was in The Zombies. Here is one for your...

https://youtu.be/g_ji_1Sm2vE?si=12e4dvn6Xt9wJloz

I like this and saw her live just before the Covid lockdown but not so sure about other things she has done. I even spoke to her to pass a message on...

Tim

Thanks so much for the introduction to The Beatrix Players Tim.

I've just listened to their Magnified album.

Brilliant - I feel immediately transformed back to the 70s/early 80s but with a bit of 21st century sophistication thrown in.
Amy Birks has a captivating voice which holds ones attention.
I particularly like Never Again, Molehill and Lady of the Lake on first listening.
I shall have a second listen again on the train to Bristol tomorrow.

I think Amy Boone has a fantastic voice.
She was involved in a hit and run accident in Texas some time back and it was doubtful if she would ever walk again.
Anyway, this and Imperial are, to my mind, stand out songs from the band :

Hammock are awesome if you're in that mood. Their back catalogue is massive so plenty to choose from.

And scrolling up a few posts, big upvote from me for "Talk" by Yes. In my mind, Yes have "prog" albums (long meandering tracks) and "rock" albums (more radio friendly), and I reckon Talk is probably their best "rock" album.

I don't think I've ever met anyone else who have heard of Tonton Macoute. They were four piece (I think) prog/jazz rock outfit from the very early 70s.
I saw them, along with about 25 other hardy souls with nothing better to do, in a pub in Bath when I was about 17.
I remember nothing else about the performance but I bought their album about 5 years later as part of a bargain bundle of 4 LPs for £1 in Woolworths (remember them?).
Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised by the album. This, I think, is the standout track :

Nope, never heard of them Martin! There is a good vibe (literally) going here and I rather like it. Slightly derivative of other bands of the period. I wonder what happened to the individual players - they seem pretty competent to me?

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.

Giving a first listen to Peter Gabriel's latest album "i/o", released a couple of days ago.

Not really sure what I think yet. It's beautifully produced as you would expect, and musically it's quite restrained and almost moody. It doesn't rock as hard as his early solo work but I think it will grow on me. Some of it reminds me of later songs by Tiger Lou (one of my favourite alt-rock artists).

And now I'm diving into Gabriel's back catalogue which is bringing back disconcertingly vivid memories of my student days...

This album from 1980, sometimes called "3", sometimes called "Melt", is definitely his best. Every track is an absolute gem, and "I Don't Remember" is (I think) the best song he ever recorded. The whole thing was way ahead of its time and over 40 years on it sounds like it could have been released yesterday.

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  :-*

Another band that passed me by in the early 70s. Very much of the time and I do like the sound of the Mellotron. I have a version of "Mockingbird" by the Enid featuring That Joe Payne.

How about this from Steven Wilson... there's a mellotron in it...

The guy playing bass is Nick Beggs (ex Kajagoogoo). Superb band.

Cheers,

Trevor Horn's new album of songs he loves with guest artists has just released and has been playing on repeat here today.

https://music.apple.com/gb/album/echoes-ancient-modern/1707164661

Particularly stand out tracks are Drive (featuring Steve Hogarth) and particularly smooth disco version of Owner of a Lonely Heart with Rick Astley's vocals and Toyah and Robert Fripp guesting on Relax.

Every December our eclectic mix of Fairport Convention, Strawbs, Jethro Tull gets filed away and we wallow in an annual dose of John Denver and the Muppets - a Christmas Together.  We have been doing this since 1979 and still love it.

As this thread has picked up a bit in the last few weeks and many seem to be of a 'prog rock' and other good music persuasion, this isn't so much of a sound but a reference book to many of the bands mentioned previously. With fold out pages, it traces the many line ups featured in such bands as King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Fleetwood Mac, Deep Purple, Yes, Fairport Convention and many others. It is not all encompassing but it is interesting to see who appeared in what line up at what period in the band's existence. Not cheap but a great reference book............

If you like nice, gentle guitar music with a nice rise and fall then have a listen to William Tyler with Highway Anxiety :
https://youtu.be/OdHJIh7ycT4?si=xPv6kx7QWmkdhXKb
Keeps you interested for some 8 minutes or so.

And if you like things to be a little more on the rocky side here is William Tyler again livening things up a little  with his band The Impossible Truth.
You might like to turn this one up a bit - it fairly rattles along! Fans of Hawkwind might find this to their taste.

Definitely sound like Hawkwind, I must admit I was waiting for Dave Brock to start singing. Just looked up the CD to purchase (I don't do that modern downloading thing) and am very tempted to click "Buy". It's here  (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404252431695)if you're interested.

Back in 1970 or 71 a friend insisted we went to see a band called Osibisa who played a fusion of jazz rock/African and Caribbean music.
To say I was sceptical at the time was an understatement but how wrong was I.
A fabulous evening ensued which simply rocked along led by the sheer enthusiasm and enjoyment emanating from the stage.
I saw them, I believe, a further two times.
The band led by originator and sax player Teddy Osei  is still around today but, of course, in much changed form but still playing their joyful renditions including the classic Sunshine Day performed here in 2020 :

Another band that slipped by me at the time Martin. I do remember the early album covers by Roger Dean (Yes etc.). YouTube has a live performance by Osibisa from the Marquee which might reflect your experience of seeing them live. I am not listening to anything at the moment but watching Gardener's World out of the corner of my eye!

Osiba were a victim of the "falling between 2 stools" syndrome - not quite African, not quite funk, not quite rock.

Another victim of this syndrome was Third World in the late seventies who were not quite reggae, not quite soul?

That's weird. I was just listening to Osiba in the car this morning!

Found it on a USB stick I recorded some years ago. For some reason I used to rate them, not sure why.

The best thing on the USB stick is that it is followed by Monty Python's "Eric the half a bee"  ;D

This is where it all started for me

The first band I ever saw live, if you discount seeing Freddie & The Dreamers in about 65 which I was forced to endure with my parents, was Chicken Shack at Devizes Corn Exchange in 1970.
I would have been 15 coming on 16.
Chicken Shack, led by Stan Webb, an underrated guitarist, never made it big but did feature Christine Perfect (McVie).
I can remember being overawed by the entire experience and the rest is, as they say, history.
Here are The Shack in 2004 still featuring Stan Webb.

Not the first band I saw by any means as I'm a lot younger than @port perran but I saw them for the first time at Swindon Arts centre (2004) and in Devizes a few years later. Not sure but I may have seen him/them at Giants of Rock in Minehead too. Awesome guitarist and really nice guy  :thumbsup:

My first impression was a retro sound assuming (incorrectly) that they are a current band I have never heard of. There is a bit of Lou Reed in there and not unpleasant at all. "Dancing Barefoot" (Patti Smith) has a nice groove to it... check it out Martin @port perran ...

Here is another cover of "Dancing Barefoot" by First Aid Kit with an appreciative Patti Smith in the audience.

The Bumpers album was brilliant although we've been there before on this thread I think.
Yes, Mott were much better prior to going all poppy. Never really got into Spooky Tooth although I quite liked Walrus.

Recommended if you like: Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree, Eloy, Opeth, Devin Townshend, though it's not exactly like any of them. Closest maybe to Porcupine Tree.

Marvellous, really original stuff. Lots of light and shade, different atmospheres, amazing melodies and great playing. And apparently it's all one guy (all instruments and vocals).

Sorry, I know you asked for no witty quips but I just couldn't help myself. A bit like George Michael I suppose but without the action.

Well, I've listened to Keor.
It'll never appeal to the masses but it's very good.
Heavily influenced by 70s prog rock and other things.
Definitely a bit of Yes, Gracious, early Genesis, Strawbs and Mike Oldfield in there amongst others.
Shame about his voice imo
Thanks for sharing though.

In Martin's @port perran reply above he mentioned a short lived band called Gracious, I remember them because I had a Vertigo double sided poster, in fact I had two and hung them on my bedroom wall. The poster showed many of Vertigo's (Swirl) releases circa 1970. Anyway, I found on the internet an interesting article about the origins of this famous label which you might find interesting.

The next article reviews some of the artists including Gracious with YouTube links.

Godley & Creme have always been very clever with their lyrics for 10cc (Rubber Bullets, Wall Street Shuffle, Dreadlock Holiday etc etc) but this, for me, is right up there with the best, woven as it is to the rhythym of its setting...... (quite why I woke up with it on my mind, I just don't know)

Thanks Tim

Fascinating stuff.
A few bands mentioned there that I'd forgotten all about including a favourite of mine from nearly 50 years ago - Colosseum.

Anyway, this evening's sample from me may not be to everyone's taste but I'm a fan of Marcin Wailewski.
He's a Polish keyboard player - laidback modern jazz.
Here he is with his trio and Diamonds and Pearls :

Yes Godley & Creme were/are certainly talented.
I'm not too sure that their work has really stood the test of time but I was a fan back in the day. Maybe a bit too poppy or wordy for me these days though.
I always rather thought that Sheet Music was possibly the best album from 10cc.
Thanks for the musical reminder.

Very smooth jazz Martin @port perran . I used to listen to a lot of music of this sort. ECM is a quality label and I have a few CDs including Eberhard Weber Colour's "Silent Feet" from 1978 when I had started to move away from progrock and rock but bypassing punk by a mile or so.

https://youtu.be/buquZNrSazU?feature=shared

I hadn't realised that Jon Hiseman died a few years ago but Colosseum were indeed giants. They are still around but with no original members in the line-up. I did see Greenslade at the Roundhouse London.

I've been revisiting a favourite album of mine from 1970 today.
It's a self titled LP by Ian McDonald and Michael Giles (from the early King Crimson).
Never a huge seller but to my mind this was fabulous particularly the whole of side 2 with a track entitled Birdman ( starts about 24.08 on the video clip).
I've always thought that the conclusion/climax (at about 39-00 mins) is one of the most beautiful pieces of prog rock music ever written.
Possibly not to everyone's taste but I urge you to fast forward to 39 mins even if you don't listen to the rest.
Might want to turn up the volume.

Thank you Martin, this is the first time I have listened to McDonald and Giles, very quirky, challenging and of its time. Both talented musicians and Michael Giles' drumming is quite prominent in the mix and very inventive as it was with King Crimson - somewhat underrated. The album cover features their respective girlfriends. I had McDonald's (RIP) solo album but was disappointed, his work with Foreigner will also be remembered.

Another band that managed to slip beneath most people's radar in the early 70s was Rare Bird although some folk might remember their minor, and rather untypical, hit Sympathy.
Their best work was on their Epic Forest album which is often reviewed as an under rated  rock classic.
Maybe a little folky with vocal harmonies but with nice guitar and keyboard work.
Perhaps lacking a little in production but I think it's superb.
See what you think :

Just listened to this right through.
I have to admit that I pretty much lost interest in Yes after the mid 70s so this is a new album to me performed by a good mix of early band members.
It's pretty good with a rather more "rocky" feel than the Yes of the early 70s but still an accomplished offering.
Having said that, and  maybe it's me getting old, but I'm finding Jon Anderson's voice increasingly annoying.
Overall though, a worthwhile listen.

The bass on this album, even on the vinyl (notably Endless Dream) is absolutely staggering. For me, it's the best album Trevor Rabin did with yes. (I saw Anderson, Rabin & Wakeman a few years back, they were excellent.)

I used to obsess over (and still like) Rush up to approx the Presto album. I saw them on the Hold Your Fire and R30 tours and was mightily impressed, but albums from Counterparts onwards seem to be devoid of memorable tunes. Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures are probably my favourite Rush albums, with Presto in third place.

My original introduction to them was at the tender age of 17 when a friend put 2112 on the record player. Mind blown.

As a 15 year old the second LP I ever bought was the self titled album by Renaissance.
Renaissance featured Keith Relf (ex Yardbirds) on guitar, harmonica and vocals plus his sister Jane on vocals.
The very able Louis Cenammo played bass but, without looking it up, I can't remember the keyboardist or percussionist.
Some of you will be familiar with the fabulous Island from the Bumpers Sampler Album for Island Records.
This track is Kings and Queens and to my mind, portrays early prog rock at its raw best.
It certainly won't be for everyone but here goes :

Nice one Martin @port perran (AKA Poirot)! I do remember the track "Island" from Bumpers. Renaissance has a very complicated history; so, here goes...

Renaissance (Mk. 1) was formed out of The Yardbirds by Keith Relf (lead vocals and guitar) and Jim McCarty (drums and percussion) in 1969 and were joined by Jane Relf (vocals), John Hawken (keyboards) and Louis Cennamo (bass guitar). Their first album, the self titled "Renaissance", was released in late 1969. The band fell apart during the making of their second album "Illusion". "Illusion" was eventually released in 1977 in the UK with musicians bought in to complete it.

After several personnel changes, Renaissance (Mk. 2) was formed in 1972, based around the talented Annie Haslem, a trained opera singer with a five octave range. This virtually new line-up released some excellent albums including "Turn of the Cards" and "Scheherazade and Other Stories " and had a hit single with "The Northern Lights" but by the end of the 70s was a spent a force and their albums dwindled in sales in the early 80s with key members leaving and a change in musical direction.

Meanwhile, some of the original members of Renaissance (MK. 1) reformed as "Illusion" and released four albums between 1977 and 2001.

Renaissance struggled through the 1980s with personnel changes and two relatively unsuccessful studio albums, leading to disbandment in 1987. Two different offshoots of the band existed at the same time at one period in the mid-1990s. The band re-formed in 1998 to record "Tuscany", which was eventually released in 2001; however, they broke up again the next year. A new iteration of Renaissance, led by Haslam and Dunford, debuted in 2009, and since then the band has continued to record and tour. Dunford died in November 2012. Later, Haslam stated that the band would continue touring. In 2013, they released the studio album Grandine il Vento, re-released the following year under the title Symphony of Light. (Taken from Wikipedia).

Annie Haslem's (American) based Renaissance was still performing in 2022.

I/we first saw Renaissance (Mk. 2) at Brunel University supporting Caravan on 21 February 1975, the first of four times, we were most impressed.

Here is one of my favourite MK. 2 songs - great live...

https://youtu.be/41H8smI0dJI?si=Z4dIYhhVhnfTAiuU

Yes Mick @Newportnobby , "Ashes are Burning" is a great track, IIRC a glitterball was always used towards the end of the track, supported above the audience. We saw them at the Royal Albert Hall with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (14/10/77) and sat in the front row. In the right light, Annie's dress became quite see through!

At the moment: the recent Acts album by Tiger Lou. Tiger Lou is basically Rasmus Kellerman, with extra musicians when playing live.

(https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/gallery/139/10357-030224035520.jpeg)

Couldn't find a youtube of the entire album so here's a playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kbuqAfEGcca62x_B5HFH9KccRjOaJ4anY

How to categorise Tiger Lou? Hmm. Kind of indie rock / post-rock I guess. Not my usual prog fare. Great songwriting, very guitary, and he has a very distinctive, plaintive voice. This is his 5th album I think. The earlier albums "The Loyal" and "A Partial Print" are also really good.

Not sure if it's a keeper as far as I'm concerned but definitely listenable but not challenging (maybe just too middle of the road).

Here is one of my favourite tracks from a great album by Lemon Jelly.
Many will have heard of them but many people won't so here's a chance to listen to something maybe a little different.
How do you classify Lemon Jelly?  Well, it's difficult. Eccentric might describe them. Perhaps electronic jazzy pop with brass might also work.
Have a listen for yourself though but please don't dismiss it after 45 seconds. If you do you'll miss out on a treat.

Inspired by @Trainfish 's can of Double Hazy Jane, I was going to write a bit about the late Nick Drake; however,  I found this on YouTube which does a much better job than I possibly could...

https://youtu.be/dT0zdpBKmhM?si=OCriameYyTH459-6

I first heard Nick's music on the Island sampler "Nice Enough to Eat" with his track "Time has Told Me" and then again on "Bumpers" with "Hazey Jane 1". It was not until more recently that I have collected his work. John Martyn's "Solid Air" was written for his friend Nick. Here it is...

https://youtu.be/UikPQOaJpfU?si=8a0qMqykXDZW7ZZh

If you listen to "Poor Boy" on Bryter Layter you can hear Doris Troy warming up for her once in a life time vocal performance on Pink Floyd's "The Great Gig in the Sky".

That sampler album certainly shaped my early musical tastes George! There is a track on it by a band called Heavy Jelly, a pseudonym for Skip Bifferty which was only released as a single. Various band members went onto play with the likes of Ginger Baker, Alvin Lee and Van Morrison as well as Ian Dury and the Blockheads and The Clash.

I've been listening to one of the influential greats this afternoon.
The late JJ Cale was criticised for sticking with his "tried and tested" style to the end but his influence was realised by other master musicians such as Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, John Mayer, Tom Petty and Derek Trucks plus lots of others.
Here is one of my favourite JJ tracks, Magnolia :

Hehe, fun fact: in my twenties I played keys in a rock band in Nottingham (England) called Solid Air, named after John Martyn's Solid Air album as the band were all JM fans.

I remember seeing JM play Trent Polytechnic student union with Tracey Chapman (yes, that Tracey Chapman) supporting. Great gig.

He was impeccably behaved when I saw him - as far as I recall it was just him, his guitars, and his echoplex delay gizmos (and what looked like a fat joint stuck between his guitar strings). This would have been 1988 I think. I really enjoyed it.

But the revelation for me at that gig was Tracy Chapman. Her amazing first album had just been released, so this would have been her first UK tour, and she played pretty much every song from the album (Fast Car, Talkin Bout Revolution, Baby Can I Hold You, etc etc), just vocal and guitar. Awesome stuff, she had the audience spellbound. Sorry I spelt her name wrong earlier.
Title: Re: what are you listening to at the moment?
Post by: port perran on February 09, 2024, 09:57:40 AM
Tracy Chapman's first album was indeed a masterpiece.
It tells a story of life's struggles in such a heart rendering way.
I'm not sure her subsequent work ever lived up to the giddy  heights of the debut album but that has been the case with many artists over the years.

I saw a documentary about JM on the TV, made just before died and he had just had the lower part of leg amputated. Clearly there was drink problem and he just came across as a bit of an unpleasant character - quite flippant at times. But there was no doubting his enormous talent as a musician.

I have never really listened to Tracy Chapman but do remember the impact of her first album.

I'm a huge fan of Fairport Convention.
For me the hugely influential Liege and Lief album was their finest work.
One of, if not the, earliest exponents of folk rock. Such a shame to lose Martin Lamble early on in a car crash and later Sandy Denny.
I also thought Babbacombe Lee, a concept album, was a fine achievement.
Many of the band's members have come and gone over the years, gone on to other bands or pursued solo careers.
Sloth indeed is a superlative track.
It's worth investigating some of Richard (and Linda) Thompsn's other work.
Cheers

I have not heard "Sloth" before and what strikes me is how effortless and well recorded it is. I only have "Unhalfbricking" along with Sandy Denny's "Like an Old Fashioned Waltz" and "Gold Dust" Live at the Royalty. I think the late Sandy Denny has to be one of the best singers ever in the genre. I am not so sure about Richard Thompson as a solo artist - good guitarist though!

This is a true story, when I was working for Network Rail on the Thameslink Programme (Borough Market Viaduct) I challenged the senior commercial manager to find me some Hawkwind on a streaming platform he was going on about (a bit rarer in those days - 2009ish). He duly provided me with a CD of this live Hawkwind concert filmed at Nottingham along with some Curved Air.

https://youtu.be/bfEmkcopbls?feature=shared

I think it's fantastic showcasing some brilliant musicianship from the band in 1990 and no standards from the early days. Does anyone remember Simon House (violin) in High Tide, here is a reminder, pretty heavy stuff...

I don't know what you mean Martin (he says innocently) - Stacia is now 71! Apparently of Irish descent, she was born in Exeter and was working as a petrol pump attendant in Cornwall when she decided to join Hawkwind, leaving in 1975. What I remember about seeing Hawkwind live was the stroboscopic lighting and that having shouted out for "Silver Machine" a lot, Dave Brock finally said, "This is for the bloke at the back and it's called "Washing Machine" - I was still a schoolboy!

We had a bit of a chat on here recently re Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention.

The late Judy Dyble sang on Fairport's first album but was soon replaced by Sandy Denny.

Dyble later teamed up with Irish multi-instrumentalist Jackie McAuley to form Trader Horne in the very early 1970s.
Their single album can best  be described as quaint, typically English, folk music and I think that the pair's voices compliment each other rather well.

Here's a single track, "The Mixed Up Kind" from the album.

My early musical tastes were centred around rock and prog rock (plus classical, jazz and folk). By the mid 70s I started to drift away from rock and prog rock and listened to the likes of The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, Billy Cobham, Stanley Clarke, Jeff Beck, Brand X, along with Earth Wind and Fire and the such like. Jean Luc Ponty violin (ex Frank Zappa) produced some fine albums at this time, here he is with "Egocentric Molecules" from Cosmic Messenger...

No one has replied to Grassyfield, who appears to be here in NZ.
I think you are asking how to take your playing further.
I have learnt Classical Guitar for about the last 25 years, starting at the age of 42, so I was never going to be a Maestro.
I do play some songs but don't spend much time on pop or rock.
As you imply, you need to have some structure in your playing.
Even for a simple song with 3 chords, it's normally the first, 4th and 5th chords in the key, with the 5th being a "7th" chord. (ie the basic chord with the 7th note of the scale added.)
So in the key of C major, it's the C, F and G7 Chords. (For example)
Guitar solos are usually based on scales, so unfortunately there is no substitute for learning these, especially if you want to improvise.
If you want to take your playing further, you may want to consider taking lessons. There are probably guitar tutors in most NZ cities, and are also some who give lessons on line.
Apologies if you know all this already!

Guitar solos are usually based on scales, so unfortunately there is no substitute for learning these, especially if you want to improvise.
If you want to take your playing further, you may want to consider taking lessons. There are probably guitar tutors in most NZ cities, and are also some who give lessons on line.
Apologies if you know all this already!
I was given a guitar for my 60th birthday.
Up until that point I had never played a musical instrument in my life although I have always had a keen interest in music. I think I'm also pretty much "tone deaf" which doesn't help.
Anyway, I started off with lessons which I kept up for around 2 years. Now I'm at the stage where I can play a few tunes, stutteringly,  and I can, to some extent, compose some simple bits and bobs of my own.
Learning to play the guitar was WAY more difficult than I ever imagined but perseverance and to some extent dogged determination helps.
Some chords are, for my ageing hands/fingers, a physical impossibility but you can get by with cheats o by simply ignoring the ones you can't achieve.
Cheers
Martin

@julian, hey thanks for that reply!. That's awesome you play. I think i need to focus on one style and play that. I get confused because there's so many different ways to play and i just don't know what to focus on to get to understand the whole fret board properly. I have played it enough now that i can pick nicely and have  a good feel for it and can play some cool things and do most of the things i learn reasonably well now, but its just now i want to be able to improvise and not just play a song. I do improvise but as i say its got no structure or any thing it's just either playing around with a song i learnt and adding my own little thing or what ever or just making noise lol. But either it's a really enjoyable thing to do regardless of your experience level/age i think, its just like mediation or some thing, same with any instrument so im always enjoying my self, but yeah would be nice to know what im doing haha. Thanks again for the reply mate!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I wouldn't say I play, but I do tinker a bit, bash out a few chords and play a few lead bits.

But I always thought that was what improvisation is... making it up as you go?

Well chaps, in a few posts we have gone from Andrew Cushin (not quite sure how to describe him but not unpleasant pop with a bit of power - @port perran approves), to some more power pop by Pink, to a RAF brass band playing possibly "In the Mood". So, I afraid I am going to take you back to 1974, with this prog rock band famous for flying tea pots. Here is Gong playing "Master Builder" from their album You...

Thanks Tim. I had no idea that Gong are still around.
I saw them, complete with Daevid Allen at one of the early Glastonbury mudfests in about 1971 when I was around 17.
If I remember they had terrible trouble with their sound system probably not helped by the weather.
Nevertheless an interesting outfit. Thanks for the reminder.

PS This is what Glastonbury was like in the early days.
A far, far cry from the huge numbers attending these days and the vast commercial enterprise that Glastonbury has become.

Great stuff @port perran . I have not done Glastonbury! Gong are still going but with no original members. My concerts attended spreadsheet tells me that I saw Pierre Moerlen's Gong at The Roundhouse (Camden) on Sunday 21 December 1975 with support. I quote from my notes - Eddie and the Hots Rods was not my cup of tea at all. Alcatraz made an impression of being a fairly sophisticated band. East of Eden was a prog-rock band but I cannot really remember their performance here. Gong by now had morphed into a jazz-rock band under the able direction of drummer Pierre Moerlen (RIP), so no more Pot Head Pixies but a showcase of impressive musicianship.

Thanks for that Mick.
SH is indeed a somewhat underrated musician.
Now, talking of 1971 and Glastonbury - here's another band that I saw in the mud that year plus I also saw them "indoors" at Bristol and Devizes . Take note @Trainfish
Quite frankly, live they were a bit "all over the place" which was likely drug induced and sometimes a bit of a racket plus they were unusual in having two drummers.
Nevertheless, beneath the somewhat ragged exterior there was an underlying talent that never really came to the fore.
Here they are with Uncle Harry's Last Freakout :

I agree with you Martin @port perran . My spreadsheet tells me I saw The Pink Fairies plus support at the Roundhouse (Camden) on Sunday 13 July 1975, my notes recall "I do not remember Stray at all but the Pink Fairies were very loud and were joined by several members of Hawkwind – I think it was a re-union event and was recorded (and the smell of dope!)". I had their first three albums on vinyl. One track I particularly liked was "War Girl" and very different to "Uncle Harry", sort of Santana-ish...

A bit slow getting back on here due to looking after 23 month old grandson for 4 days while his Mum went to Sydney to see Taylor Swift..
Glad there are some guitar players on the Forum. Playing guitar, or any other instrument for that matter I guess, is a great relaxation and a wonderful way to take your mind off stresses as it's hard to concentrate on music and think of anything else.
On another note (?) Dorset Mike mentioned the Dutch College Swing band. That's getting pretty obscure, but I just happened to pick up a second hand CD of theirs signed by the band. Must give it another spin.

One of the best bands I've seen live are The Waterboys.
A real mish mash of Irish/British/Folk/Rock/Blues with a line up that has been fluid, to say the least, for nearly 40 years.
The Waterboys have spent most of that 40 years hovering just under the radar of greatness but those who are familiar with their music hold them in high esteem.
This is Fisherman's Blues which, along with The Whole of The Moon is one of their most loved songs :

Hi Martin,

I have the Irish blood in me and I like everything from proper folk eg. Christy Moore (seen probably 20 times) via folk rock/pop eg. The Saw Doctors (seen probably 30 times) up to folk rock/punk eg. The Pogues and Shane McGowan [RIP] and The Popes (seen countless times).

I never saw The Waterboys live but friends who did said that they were fantastic. Not totally my thing but I do like some of it.

I do like a bit of folk/punk though and bands like The Rumjacks (Irish/Scottish from Australia) and Flogging Molly (Irish from the USA) are great for a drunken dance around the kitchen  :D

I'm not one for listening to music from the past on a regular basis, preferring to find new artists to investigate.
However, I do occasionally have a listen to bands from my teenage years. Hence this afternoon I've had an hour or so with King Crimson one of the 1960/70s bands that I don't think we've discussed on here before.
To my mind KC were one of the more innovative groups from the prog rock era although some of their work could descend into the realms of rather noisy, un structured meandering.
The original lineup which included Bob Fripp, Ian McDonald, Michael Giles and Greg Lake produced, I think, their best work.
I saw them three times, if I remember correctly, probably a frightening 52 years ago but it seems like only yesterday.
Here's In the Court of the Crimson King one of the best tracks from their album of the same name.

With the exception of the odd Floyd release, to me music died from the 80s onwards so 95+% of music is old stuff.
The album 'Court of the Crimson King' is pretty damned good and my youth was spent playing 'Epitaph', 'Moonchild', 21st Century Schizoid Man' and the above track from Martin over and over (probably drove my parents mad)
I also like..........

Now you are talking boys! I saw KC twice, my trusty spreadsheet tells me I first saw them on 13 December 1972, my notes recall "King Crimson tour supporting their "Larks' Tongues in Aspic" LP. A dreadful support act led to a degree of frustration for the audience and Robert Fripp in the opening minutes of the KC set. John Wetton (RIP) apologised for his poor singing voice - duh!". RF responded to a slow hand clap at the beginning of LTIA (part 1) by stopping the music and suggesting that "if you do not like it, you could go off the bar (with a capital F!)" - true Frippery. I then saw KC on 01 September 2015 and my notes recall "It was 43 years since I had last seen KC and what a tour de force it was – three drummers no less! The set list covered the many KC reincarnations and I left aurally exhausted after a rousing rendition of 21st Century Schizoid Man. Robert Fripp did not look a day older." Red was the last studio LP I bought.

Friday October the 18th Ruzz will be supporting Wishbone Ash in the Corn Exchange if you fancy it. We also now have The Tap at the Peppermill within 50 yards of the Corn Exchange which will be visited beforehand as it's only Wadworths in the Bin (the locals' name for the Corn Exchange).

I've come across a new band to me this afternoon.
If you like smooth jazz with some nice guitar sounds and laid back sax give these a try.
Threestyle they're called :

Thanks Martin @port perran . During the 80/90s I used to listen to a lot of smooth jazz. Trouble was from the mid/late 70s there many fine exponents of the genre but as time went by their output became blander and blander. Far too many to mention all, but I liked Lee Ritenour, Dave Grusin, Grover Washington Jnr, Spyro Gyra, Dave Sanborn, Acoustic Alchemy no name but a few.

Here is Acoustic Alchemy live in 2023, with "Lazeez". Greg Carmichael (guitar right) is an early member of the band, AA has a good reputation for being really entertaining live...

Thank you for that Tim.

I have listened to AA before. They are excellent but it's not really my sort of thing.

Incidentally, we had a holiday in La Gomera a few years back.
La Gomera is a tiny island off Tenerife. It is so different to Tenerife and incredibly quiet and laid back.
The island is known for musicians turning up and playing on the beach. In fact locals and holidaymakers are encouraged to join in.
It is not at all unknown for quite famous artists to appear often incognito and without announcement.
If I remember correctly AA had played there a few weeks before we arrived.
Just a piece of useless information for you but if you ever get the chance to visit La Gomera it comes hugely recommended by Mrs PP and I.
Cheers
Martin

Well Martin @port perran , I am delighted to tell you and Mrs PP that we have been to La Gomera (1997) and can agree what a wonderful place it is. We stayed at the Le Jardin Tecina, in Playa Santiago for a fortnight - superb! Flew in via Tenerife and took the ferry across. We hired a car and drove around for a couple of days.

I was listening to this band yesterday, I am sure that you will remember them. I knew Sonja's cousin and we went to see them back in 2103 here in High Wycombe. All I can say is Sonja is 74 now...

I only have Air Cut on CD but think it is better than their earlier albums.

Cheers,

Tim

Well there you go Tim.

Not many folk seem to have heard of La Gomera. Like you we took the ferry from Tenerife then a somewhat rickety bus to the other side of the island.

We were some 22 years after you staying at Vueltas as the lower end of the Valle Gran Rey in an Air BnB (right on the sea front).

We never go back to a destination on holiday, as there are so many places to see, but we would make an exception for La Gomera.

As for Curved Air, I see where @Newportnobby is coming from. I too had a soft spot for Sonja.

I saw them at Devizes Corn Exchange in the early days (just after Curved Air 11 came out). That must have been about 71 when I was 17.

Back Street Lv went down really well as I recall.

They were just that little bit different (well quite a lot different actually) to a lot of the bands that we saw around that time.

Great memories
Cheers
Martin

Very good. I've always liked the Strawbs and have 2 or 3 albums, although Dave Cousins voice can pall after a while.
One of their best tracks IMHO contains some hugely powerful lyrics

Yup, that's my James :) He's not actually left-handed, but he picked up my bass when he was young and liked it that way round :)  He far surpassed my playing abilities years ago!

He also writes a fair amount of the material, contributes to the growly vocals, and he programmed the lighting for that latest video too.  An all-round clever lad IMO.    He teaches music to youngsters - just imagine a long-haired metal musician teaching guitars, keyboard, drums and ukulele to primary school kids  :D

The Yes tribute gets a bit lost on the way for me... However, "The Sun Goes Down" is one of my favourite numbers by Thin Lizzy.

I have an edited version of Life Live.

Well, a lot going on this afternoon but I have to say that most of it is not for me.
Epica is ok but it's not my cup off tea as @Moonglum predicted.
As for Dream Theater, again not something I'd go back to.

Both bands I maybe would have listened to back in my teenage years but then again maybe not.

As for your son's band @ntpntpntp . You must be very proud of him but again, it's rather lost on me.

I agree with @Moonglum about the Anderson/May version of Wurm gets a bit lost somewhere along the way.

That leaves me with Strawbs. Thanks for that link Tim.

I saw The Strawbs a few times (including once at Salisbury) around 50 years ago.
Maybe their stuff seems a little dated these days and I agree with Mick that Dave Cousin's voice can be a bit irksome.

So, on the whole, nothing too positive from me today I'm afraid but this is a fascinating thread none the less.

Cheers
Martin

What I like about Lizzy is the guitarists, right from day 1, have always played tasteful breaks rather than being 'speed merchants'. I never really got on with Gary Moore as he fell into that latter category, although he did tone things down a bit for his 'Still got the blues' album. Same goes for Wishbone Ash - tasty licks as opposed to 'how many notes can I play in 1 minute' frenetic style. Just my opinion, though.

To redress the balance a little, here's an artist that we saw at Glastonbury around 12 years ago.
Sam Duckworth performs under the name of Get Cape, Wear Cape Fly (apparently named after some sort of video game).
This won't be to everyone's taste but we rather liked his laid back but enthusiastic style when we saw him :

Link is a playlist of several videos.

When Gavin Harrison (ex Porcupine Tree) joined The Pineapple Thief about 4 albums ago, it seemed to give the band a new lease of life creatively, and while I thought their early albums were all a bit samey, I've especially loved the last 3.

Post by: Moonglum on March 18, 2024, 05:19:39 PM
That's an interesting choice @Malc . A long time ago, I had a sampler album from the Deram record label called Wowie Zowie, Savoy Brown was included as were:

Side 1
1. Touch: Down At Circe's Place (4:47)
2. John Mayall: Where Did I Belong (3:08)
3. Savoy Brown: Train To Nowhere (4:05)
4. Johnny Almond: Voodoo Forest (3:32)
5. East Of Eden: Communication (3:23)

Side 2
1. Genesis: In The Beginning (4:08)
2. The Moody Blues: Nights In White Satin (4:19)
3. William R. Strickland: William R. Strickland Is Only The Name (4:37)
4, John Cameron Quartet: Go Away, Come Back Another Day (4:59)
5. Keef Hartley Band: Not Foolish, Not Wise (3:50)

An interesting disc but not quite as good as the Island samplers. Track 4 Side 1 features the late Alan White (Yes) on drums. John Cameron became part of CCS and has had an interesting career, Genesis sounded nothing like they would, and I rather liked Touch's "Down at Circe's Place", so here it is...

Some of you music lovers may recall the term "Krautrock" from the 70s. An old school friend introduced me to a whole raft of key exponents of the genre (which included many sub-genres). Frumpy (Inga Rumpf) released a few albums and then morphed into Atlantis. Here are Inga and friends in 2006 performing "How the Gypsy was Born"...

Thanks Mick, I thought you might like Inga and Friends. Maggie Bell/Stone the Crows) kinda passed me by back in the early 70s; however, I was well aware of her capabilities as a fine singer. The track you posted is very good so I will have a further listen. Unfortunately, my collection of Krautrock has been lost in iTunes due to a laptop failure but some of it was burnt onto CD. Another band you might like is Jane, here they are with "Hangman"...

Hi Simon,

Some good bands in there and some I don't know at all.

Cheers,

Tim

Quote from: Moonglum on March 21, 2024, 10:58:32 AMSome of you music lovers may recall the term "Krautrock" from the 70s. An old school friend introduced me to a whole raft of key exponents of the genre (which included many sub-genres). Frumpy (Inga Rumpf) released a few albums and then morphed into Atlantis. Here are Inga and friends in 2006 performing "How the Gypsy was Born"...

Great organ solo!

Thanks Tim. Frumpy passed me by it seems but that track has aroused my interest so I'll investigate further.
I did get into Krautrock a bit in the early 70s and saw Amon Duul.

I've been a little quiet lately largely because of our impending house move which is gathering momentum at the moment.
Cheers
Martin

Quote from: Newportnobby on March 21, 2024, 12:17:05 PMWow, Tim. That was right up my strasse. My kind of music, indeed.
I've dabbled in 'Kraut Rock' over the years with Faust, Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk

Meanwhile, I'll throw this out there. The incomparable Maggie Bell with Stone the Crows and 'Sad Mary'

Very nice. Like Tim, Stone the Crows rather passed me by in the 70s.

Thanks Martin @port perran . Krautrock certainly provided a different perspective to the music scene back then. Like you, I knew of a few of the bands e.g. Faust and Tangerine Dream mainly because of their releases on the fledgling Virgin record label.

Good luck with the move, it doesn't seem to have taken that long, so fingers crossed. You probably know that the rock band Muse hail from Teignmouth! - not one of my favourites though.

Cheers,

Tim

A.O.R. = Adult oriented rock, to my mind anyway.
Hugely strong in the States with bands such as The Eagles, Foreigner, Journey, The Doobie Brothers, REO Speedwagon and luminaries like Fleetwood Mac, they appeared in the UK mainly on the strength of 'power ballads' featured on Top of the Pops.
However, the odd rock gem appeared now and then so I'd commend to the House Foreigner's 'I'm gonna win', Journey's 'Don't stop believin'' and The Doobie Brothers 'Without You'.
On occasion, and usually after too much falling down water, out comes the 'air guitar/microphone' and the neighbours end up banging on the wall for more :D

I bought Journey's first album "Journey" (1975) on the basis that the some the band had fallen out of Santana, generally a jazzy prog rock album that sounds very different to later releases. Here they are with "In My Lonely Feeling/Conversations"...

https://youtu.be/scwfew13O-Y?feature=shared

Foreigner 4 is a classic album, say no more. I think the Doobies best album was "Minute by Minute", thanks for posting Mick.

Cheers,

Tim

I'm not sure if we've mentioned one of the greatest guitarists of the late 60s/70s.
I saw Rory Gallagher three times and he certainly gave value for money regularly performing for two and a half hours.
I never did see him with Taste which was a shame but he is definitely one of my favourite ever live acts.
Here he is with Crest of a Wave

Taste tended to pass me by, maybe as there was no air time anywhere given to them in those days.
I have a Polydor sampler double album containing two tracks by them - 'Blister on the Moon' and 'What's going on'

Post by: Moonglum on March 24, 2024, 08:51:59 PM
Well chaps, possibly from good Taste to bad taste. The first version I had and heard of Led Zep's "Whole Lotta Love" was a single by CCS (the basis of the TOTP's 1970s theme), the second was of course by Led Zeppelin and I have to confess I was too sure about it at first. Here though is a laid back version by Beth Hart from 2004 (PG advised)...

https://youtu.be/3UKXP7bAg9A?si=2KY6vcVDrRbO6DbP

Beth is a great singer but has had a few issues.

Imagine yourself in a smoky basement music club and up steps a lass with an acoustic guitar and a voice reminiscent of Laura Nyro/early Elkie Brooks. It gets a bit raucous at times but I love the way she belts this out.........

I saw Taste at the Sunderland Empire a couple of times. Must have been around 1969, 1970.

Post by: Moonglum on March 24, 2024, 10:32:52 PM
OK, so after Beth, back to something with a bit of class, from one of the men behind CCS, John Cameron with this rather smooth number...

https://youtu.be/4Co34Wmu0gY?si=nJhPWT_wbl4LXQjf

Often sampled and an example of very early chill-out music.

Cheers,

Tim

PS I had both "Whole Lotta Love" and "Tap Turns on the Water" by CCS on 45 Mick @Newportnobby

Well Tim @Moonglum not sure about Beth Hart I'm afraid but that John Cameron track is intetesting stuff from Joan Osborn Mick @Newportnobby . She's not an artist I'm familiar with so I'll investigate further on Spotify.

Returning to my teenage years, it is with great regret that I never saw Fleetwood Mac live.
Then Play On was, to me, an influential album and one of the first I ever bought.
Here's Man of the World, not from that album but a superb song :
https://youtu.be/lDGi0SZkgpI?si=-wWzDKb8YjfwCfi-
Fleetwood Mac completely died for me in the mid 70s when they relocated to the US and became a pop group.
Title: Re: what are you listening to at the moment?
Post by: Moonglum on March 25, 2024, 02:35:24 PM
Beth Hart has done some good work with the likes of Jeff Beck and Joe Bonamassa but that rendition of "whole Lotta Love" is a bit OTT to say the least and the band aren't top notch either but I thought I would throw it in.

Martin @port perran I first heard John Cameron on the Wowie Zowie sampler, so here he is with that track from 1969...

https://youtu.be/2pGZlzgUcIs?feature=shared

NB Danny Thompson on double bass. John has achieved a lot in the musical world, from pop to film soundtracks and musicals. I will now listen to (old) Fleetwood Mac but I thought they made a good pop act!

Cheers,

Tim

Another band from my youth that I never saw were the Moody  Blues but I was pretty heavily into their music and had several of their early albums.
Question, from the fine Question of Balance LP, is one of my favourite tracks.
I do find the Moodies work a bit dated now but still listen to it from time to time :

I never got to see them them either but for some reason they were looked down on by many.
Of course, 'Nights in White Satin' was frequently the last song played at many a party :)
My favourite track is from 'To our Children's Children's Children'

A thumbs up for the Hawkwind track from me.

The Moody Blues is a mixed bag for me, despite once having four of their albums (Nos. 4, 5, 6 and 7) on vinyl. I think their albums lacked a bit of bite. My posh cousin once played me "Higher and Higher" which starts well and then doesn't do much - OK the end livens up a bit.

Thanks for posting Martin and Mick.

Cheers,

Tim
