    Country Joe McDoanld,Singer And Woodstock Legend, Dead At 84

    Another one checks out. I only knew of him through his Woodstock appearance but Country Joe and his band released a number of albums during the late 1960s and 1970s but 'The fish cheer' performed at Woodstock in 1969 was his 'finest hour' without a doubt ;)

    Tetsu Yamauchi

    Wishing Well a all time favourite Free track of mine and I recall hearing it at the time that it was in the UK singles chart back in early 1973 and it's always been a favourite of mine since. Also I am sad to hear of Tetsu passing because I liked that later Free line up and the Heartbreaker...

    Cincinnati Pop Festival 1970

    MOUNTAIN one of my all time favourite heavy rock bands especially during the first half of the 1970s along with West, Bruce & Laing and the Leslie West Band. Although regarded as a 1970s rock band the album the reformed MOUNTAIN recorded and released back in 1985 called Go For Your Life is...

    Classic Rock Movie Soundtracks (OST)

    I once had the Jimi Hendrix double-vinyl sound track album back in the entire 1980s and actually it's quite a decent listening double album with all the recordings mainly coming from the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 plus a 12-string acoustic version by Jimi...

    Legendary 75 year old heavy rock drummer Tommy Aldridge

    With regards to Tommy Aldridge I subsequently read that Tommy was in Black Oak Arkansa back in the middle 1970s but the first time that I became aware of him was when listening to the live Pat Travers album Go For What You Know a 'blistering live album' from about 1978. Apart from a few notable...

    Scorpions bassist Francis Buchholz Dies After Private Cancer Battle

    That is sad news regarding Francis Bucholz so RIP The Scorpions are an interesting German rock band although I personally like the mid-1970s to mid 1980s era in particular but all the Scorpions albums are pretty good.

    The Cassette Chronicles

    I like collecting cassettes mainly by rock bands from the 1970s that were usually released in conjunction with the vinyl album but the minor problem with cassettes is when the 'tape tangles' in the tape cassette player and 'creases the tape' although these days (2026) I basically collect old...

    Rock movies & documentaries

    Probably will be in a 'class of one' here but I actually 'enjoy' watching LED ZEPPELIN'S THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME movie from 1976 a lot these days although it received 'mixed reviews' back in the day on release and is possibly regarded as a 'duff movie' by some rock fan's and rock critics if...

    40 years on Remembering Philip Parris Lynott

    As far as I'm concerned Phil was and still is a ROCK GOD!!. I once met Eric Bell and Brian Downey together back stage in the dressing room after coming off stage at a 'Lizzy gig' in Sheperds Bush in west London back in October 1993 anyway the bass player was a tall dark skin guy obviously a nod...

    Totally dr wu blues/rock although that encompasses bands such as Led Zeppelin in my book especially the first album although many would categorise 'Zeppelin' as a 'heavy rock band' which I still do of course with albums such as IV, Houses of the Holy, Physical Graffiti, & Presence..

    Robin Trower (Official Thread)

    I accidently stumbled across a Robin Trower live radio session cd last Friday (21/11/25) in the HMV store in London's west end which was recorded live in front of an audience from either Seattle or NY cos it's a bit hard to tell from where it actually came from on the cd cover and also what the...
