I actually prefer the 80s AC/DC albums with Brian although the mid/late 1970s albums with Bon like Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Let There Be Rock, Powerage, Highway To Hell & AC/DC live album If You Want Blood You've Got It are classic albums
Personally I liked the first two Warlock albums Burning The Witches and Hellbound which I once had both albums on cds back in the 1990s
"I wouldn't kick Doro outta bed no way!!!." ;)
As good as Electric Ladyland was and still is VERY GOOD I actually like Axis: Bold As Love the previous album better although most of Axis wasn't played live except for Spanish Castle Magic which Jimi included in his set to the very end in 1970 and Little Wing was played live a few times around...
As you may already know Jake T the above film sequence of Jimi performing an early acoustic version of Hear My Train A coming on a 12 string guitar was filmed in London during early 1967 and was included in the film about Jimi Hendrix released by Warner Bros in 1973.
In actual fact the 1973...
Ha ha I didn't know the band was a 'joke' Santana band Ian mind you I was only about 13 or 14 years old at the time and just heard songs like this played on BBC radio one back in 1970-71
I don't know recgord27 I just remember hearing the Jig a Jig single being played on BBC radio one back then a long with the other top 30 UK singles that radio one played this was around 1970-71
Ha ha yes Jig a Jig that song conjures up memories of my 2nd or 3rd year at secondary school circa 1970/71 anyway I knew that you would know Ian. Another single released around the same time as the East Of Eden Jig a Jig single was a song that also got into the British top 10 called TITANIC by a...
I only listen to CREAM these days i.e. Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce & Ginger Baker with some 'Jimi' and Rory Gallagher's Taste thrown in for good measure!!.
A band called EAST OF EDEN had a top 10 UK hit in 1970 or 1971 but I can't recall the name of the record?. Ian you probably remember it also the guy who played the 'fiddle' in the band was a friend of Keith Moon drummer in The Who and he also played the fiddle sequence on the Who's Baba O'Reilly...
With regards to BBA that's BECK, BOGGERT & APPICE I recently bought the x4 cds 'live box set' featuring the rare Japanese double-live album from 1973 which I originally bought as a 'mint' double-vinyl album on Japanese import back in 1988 but subseqently sold it like a fool and the entire...
It was a bit weird at the time when Gillan joined Sabbath although the Born Again album is an ok album to listen to. When they played Reading back in 1983 and did Deep Purple's Smoke On The Water (as an encore I think?) that left many headbngers looking on non-plussed and confused??? :confused...
Keith Richards appeared on BBC radio 4 throughout the UK this morning (Tuesday 10th October 2023) and was featured in a 5 or 6 minutes pre-recorded interview between 7:40-7:46 am London time that took place a day or two ago and in it several issues were mentioned including Keith's guitar playing...
Yeah I remember it quite well back in 1980. Jimmy issued a statement that was given to the BBC radio by a female friend of Jimmy's from his home in England that day but I can't recall what it said but the tone of it was that he was shocked and stunned by 'Bonzos' sudden death!.
I'll probably receive a ton of death threats but I could never get into this band (tried to on 2 or 3 occasions in the past) because I never liked the lead vocalists vocals and a secondary minor issue was three guitars in the front line band line up was a bit to OTT for my liking and a side...
Thanks Ian. I saw a LARGE Hackney Diamonds poster on the London Underground or for my American cousins 'the subway' yesterday Friday and underneath the main picture of the album cover it read "The best Rolling Stones album since 1978" so since Some Girls back in 1978
I've never heard the album all the way through to this day but the only songs that I have heard off the album are obviously Born In The USA and Dancing In The Dark which is a catchy memorable song.
A story that I heard Bruce re-tell on BBC radio many years ago possibly 20 years ago was when he...
Same here Magic but his first album Greetings From Asbury Park NJ 1973 is fairly interesting because several songs on the album were covered by several other bands and artists most notably Blinded By The Light by Manfred Mans Earth Band 1976 which is a far better version than Bruce's rendition...
The Troggs and in particular the album The Trogg Tapes from 1976. The album is a fairly strong selection of mid 1970s rock songs plus the bonus tracks are all in a similar vein, also included on the cd and running at 9 minutes & 40 seconds long is another bonus track entitled The Trogg Tapes...
I heard of Heart and the Wilson sisters years ago maybe even decades ago but I never bothered to check them out until about a year ago when I picked up that album with Little Queen on it and also a double-best of cd and to be honest there earlier stuff from the mid/late 1970s is not bad to...
Quality wise probably All Things Must Pass but for 'out and out fist pumping rocking in the free world kind of America first' it's got to be Born In The USA!!!.
I saw The Groundhogs twice live the first time back in 1988 at the long demolished George Roby pub at Finsbury Park in north London (across the main road from the Finsbury Park Astoria better known as The Rainbow back in the 1970s & 1980s) and then three years later at The Dublin Castle pub in...
