    Rockpalast Concert Series

    I've been watching GOLDEN EARRING'S 1982 Rockpalast performance several times over the last few days on a DVD that I bought about 5 or 6-years ago and it was a POWERFUL PERFORMANCE by the boys with George Kooymans on electric guitar who was possibly a bit of a 'unknown' in the UK during the...

    Nazareth Against AC/DC

    Nazareth's Hair of the Dog but to be honest even though I have Jailbreak on one of my AC/CD cds I've never really given it a proper listen.

    Taste? (Official Thread)

    I missed this thread. As far as I'm concerned RORY is STILL THE MAN!. Along with Jimi, Johnny Winter, Leslie West, Ritchie Blackmore and Tony McPhee of The Groundhogs. I saw Rory 3-times live in London back in 1988, 1990 & 1991 I always like the written quote about Rory that appeared in Sounds...

    Jeff Lynne's ELO Announce Final Tour: 'Over and Out'

    I bought an extended 'Message To The Country' cd maybe 15-20 years ago and to be honest a part from Ella James (2nd track on the album) that I vaguely recall hearing being played on BBC Radio one possibly back in 1970-71 and was then apparently 'pulled' by EMI I personally find the 'bonus...

    Jeff Lynne's ELO Announce Final Tour: 'Over and Out'

    The first time that I recall hearing ELO or as they were then always called the Electric Light Orchestra was on the OGWT on BBC television performing 10538 Overture back in 1971 I believe. Roy Wood was in the band but the Move (band) was still active featuring both Jeff, Roy and Bev which was a...

    The Groundhogs Razors Edge album from 1984. A British three-piece no nonsense heavy 'blues/metal' rock band lead by the late Tony McPhee and featuring eight tracks in all including a Muddy Waters song at the end done heavy!!.

    Free (Official Thread)

    Several artist's working in the rock field have covered Wishing Well in the past and none come close to the original Free version. All the 'cover versions' lack that X-factor that makes the original THE BEST!!. I would rate Free's Wishing Well in my all time top 10 rock singles from any era.

    Roxy Music (Official Thread)

    Never much of a fan of Roxy Music although I recall Virginia Plain being in the UK singles chart back in 1972. Having said that I wasn't a fan a couple of Roxy Music songs that I did like and still do like hearing for nostalgia reasons for me of the mid-1970s era are Street Life and a 'B' side...

    Accept (Official Thread)

    I liked the earlier Accept stuff and still play METAL HEART from 1985 occasionally although the more recent stuff from the 2000s is ok I suppose but I still prefer the earlier albums such as RESTLESS AND WILD from 1982 & BALLS TO THE WALL from 1983 myself.

    What Are You Listening To? Redux (No Videos)

    Contrary to what most people and rock music critics back in 1976 thought about 'the movie' I personally LOVE IT and still occasionally watch it and even the individual 'fantasy film sequences' which overall are quite amusing except for 'Bonos' Drag racing fantasy but the other three Page, Plant...

    I have 2-separate cd box sets of 'The Funk' basically covering all their albums except the Good Singin', Good Playin' album from 1976 which strangely is my favourite 'Funk' album which Frank Zappa produced anyway I know they were VERY POPULAR in the USA during the 1970s and into the 1980s but I...

    Vanilla Fudge! (Official Thread)

    The 'Fudge' were influential on a number of bands during the late 1960s none more so than British band DEEP PURPLE with that guitar/Hammond organ sound with Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple admitting in later years that the rest of Deep Purple liked and listened to Vanilla Fudge back in the day...

    *The Wonderful World Of Joe Meek *

    Yeah I thought about that after posting it and I may well have got the financial amount of money the wrong way around?. The financial amount that was awarded to Joe Meek was the 'equivalent' to £3.MILLION POUNDS in 2008 and not in 1967 sorry about that and as for who received the money after Joe...
