A handful of tracks to be ID'd please - mainly 70s

[dortmunder]

Hi. I've been dusting off a few cassettes recently - stuff taped off the radio when I was a lad - and have come across a number of tracks where I didn't jot down the artist/song title. Maybe you fine folks could help me out?

Here's a Ry Cooder tune to start with. I'd like to know the tune so that I can get the corresponding album:

Thijs Van Leer (of Focus) has done lots of solo stuff. What's the name of the tune he's doing here?

There's an old Motown tune called Baby I Love You, been covered by lots of bands. Here's a band doing a great version in a heavy, bluesy style with a gravel-voiced singer - who are they?

This is an instrumental and a very nice one too. Title and artist are unknown to be but I'd be delighted to find out:

An odd one to end with. I once saw this group on TV - blokes in evening wear doing a classical based piece with the leader holding a live lamb in his arms. I believe it was a version of Bach's Where Sheep May Safely Graze. Quite weird, very 70ish. Anyone able to ID the group from this?

Many thanks in advance to anyone taking the trouble to listen.

Glad you were able to work with Grooveshark to get these tracks! After reading your descriptions I know these are out of my territory but I know someone in the crowd here is bound to be able to help you out!

Don't hear anything

[Fever]

The instrumental is Sirius by the Alan Parsons Project

Thanks a lot, Fever, you're a pal - that's one crossed off the list.

Zombeels – I've re-checked the links, they all work.

I've had some success with this – the Ry Cooder song is I Think It's Going To Work Out Fine from Bop Til You Drop. The Thijs Van Leer tune is Pavane Op 50 from Introspection 1. Finally, Baby I Love You is being done by Terry Reid on his Rogue Waves album.

I'd still love to know who's doing the 'sheep' tune...

hope you keep listening to Ry Cooder ....

What am I missing here? All your links take me to the Grooveshark home page - grooveshark.com. Where are the songs?

[Phil B.]

The original post is well over a year old, that probably has something to do with the validity of the links.

This thread is almost a year and a half old. Grooveshark has changed quite a bit since that time and I'm sure almost all if not ALL old links are completely dead.


(damn, typed this up a half hour ago, then forgot to hit submit. (hate when work gets in the way of my posting!)) :P

[raindog]

Thanks. I didn't notice the date.

Closing this thread as there's really nothing that can be done with anything here.
