Some favourite old Genesis songs (not the pop rubbish they churned out later)

I also really hope the Beeb broadcasts this event...........

Me too!

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.

*Great spotted, Dendrocopos major. Great drummers, but no long hair.

With all good wishes.

Fab Martin @port perran ... a school chum introduced me to Santana, probably "Abraxas"  but it wasn't until I heard "Caravanserai" that I became hooked and had their albums up to "Marathon". MS's drum solo is on a small kit compared to what we have nowadays.

Here is a more recent example of drum solos...



Did you hear the John Bonham bit?

Do you mean the Moby Dick soundalike bit?

As for the drum solo itself - not up to the Michael Shrieve standard to my mind.
More playing to the crowd rather than mastery of his drumkit.
