Unquestionably the greatest band that I never saw live although I am intensely jealous that Mrs PP saw them in the early 1970s well before I knew her.

Santana were, to a 16/17 year old me, a revelation when I first heard  them. I was blown away by what was a new sound.

Here they are from 1970 with a blur of percussion beat, intense keyboards and, of course, sublime guitar skills.
Also included is the customary 1970s drum solo from Michael Shrieve who was only about 19 years old when this was filmed.
What a fabulous drummer he was.

Anyway, here is Soul Sacrifice.

Enjoy.

Tanktainer? Tate and Lyle?

I have a sneaky feeling the 20ft OCL is already in the pipeline. 

Possibly the ones with the vertical "cti" lettering on?  They seem to pop up frequently in the Paul Shannon books of the 80s era.

CTI boxes were on  the first Freightliner train I saw, probably in the late 60s.
OCL seems really popular on here, so I'll add my name for them, plus Ben Ellerman to represent the Southampton-Barking service on the 70s.

The same period same some nondescript green boxes too - like the incotrans above and below.

I'm sure I've seen a 20' with Evergreen branding, but with the text running top to bottom on the left hand end of the box.

I see the UFOs have moved inside in your absence. They are smaller than I thought, but probably just as deadly.

Cheers,

Gawd, it's been a while since I posted here!

Well, it's not the bus stop but it is the bowlo, and no, I'm not lying on my side

Ah, Shephards of Gateshead. Used to love going there, cos they had a sliding door which opened and closed by itself.

Also used often to make a trip to Felling baths as a teenager. That was brand new state of the art back then!

Fascinating stuff.

With all good wishes.

Well John - sitting here, far away, that video made just me feel a bit sad. Albeit meself was born on the other side of The River, me Dad was born in The Felling and brought up in Blaydon and branches of our family go back a long way round Felling and Gateshead....

Gateshead was a thriving town - had its department store ( Shephards of Gateshead, one to rival Fenwicks in its day ) - that land now occupied by, rant, Tesco. And don't get me onto to that, double rant, Metro Centre....

My paternal Grandma shopped there at Shephards as did many of her cohort. It all reminds me of of what "the planners" did to Blaydon - another victim of 60's concrete - they wrecked an architecturally fine town that I remember as a child. Yes a lot of the terraced housing had to go, it was unfit,  but not the town centre. For Blaydon they built a precinct - which they ended up knocking down and replacing with another which is still no replacement. And now - blink and you would miss the place as you drive by. I could really start to "super rant" if I am not careful...

Anyway - at least there is good news in that that Gateshead viaduct is coming down... what goes around comes around.

And at least Blaydon still has a library where Garibaldi's head is preserved ... look it up... and i am in a good Blaydon & Winlaton FB group full of history of the town that was once the terminus of 18th century Lead Road amongst its many other things of historical significance,

With all good wishes,

Colin.

BTW - and indeed "hud" - but there are those parts in the North East, or were because of the continuous levelling,  who would say "heed" ... an then there would be Pitmatic pronunciation or two as well...

Quote from: Foxhound on Yesterday at 08:55:04 AMI didn't even know about these specials. Oh my. Do I buy another Peak or do I get this? Decisions.... 

What I didn't realise until after I'd bought mine from Gaugemaster at full retail price was that "other retailers may be available", with some offering their usual discount, but never mind.
