    California Jam 1974

    Thanks Ian, I am usually around most days of the week and checkout wots on the topic threads and as for the Deep Purple song Mistreated as good as D.C. sings/performs it I have a liking for the Ronnie Dio version on the Rainbow Live On Stage album.

    Thin Lizzy (Official Thread)

    I bought the new 'early era' Thin Lizzy cd release called Acoustic Sessions yesterday 24/01/25 on the day that it was released in the UK. This cd is released on DECCA records and is the first new material released of Thin Lizzy from the Decca record label since 1973 or 1974. Eric Bell plays on...

    The Cassette Chronicles

    I still have a bunch of pre-recorded tape cassettes mainly of Jimi Hendrix, Rainbow and Robin Trower including all his Chrysalis albums between 1973-1983 and a couple of Deep Purple Mk.III tapes including the Burn album from late 1973 on EMI and Live in London from 1974 and all the Rainbow...

    RIP John Sykes

    I have the cd for many years but have never played it?. I once bought the Blue Murder cd back in the mid/late 1990s also featuring Carmine Appice on drums and Tony Franklin on bass along with John on guitar.

    RIP John Sykes

    From what I recall from reading in the book about Thin Lizzy first published back in the mid-1990s Whitesnake meaning David Coverdale wanted John very much back in the 80s and so he quit 'Lizzy' which wasn't a quick decision for him to come to because he always preferred being in Thin Lizzy and...

    California Jam 1974

    Yeah its a 'good watch' although I haven't watched it again since I posted my original post above back in February 2019. I liked the Mk III Deep Purple although Glenn's 'soul and funk leanings' are ok up to a point but I prefer the 'all out' rock stuff that Ritchie liked myself.

    Paul Butterfield Blues Band!

    Never really got into 'southside Chicago blues' but with regards to the Paul Butterfield blues band in particular when Michael Bloomfield (the premier American blues guitarist of the 1960s and into the 1970s) was in the band that made it more interesting but that harmonica lead Chicago blues/R&B...

    Review Robin Trower- Bridge of Sighs (1974) *** 1/2

    Apparently that was one of the benefits that I read of watching the Led Zeppelin movie The Song Remains The Same from 1976 because at that time it was quite impossible to actually see the band live in the USA due to the high ticket demand so the actual film footage of 'the boys' in that movie...

    Review Robin Trower- Bridge of Sighs (1974) *** 1/2

    I am writing this post from a FED-Ex courier place that has 5-computer terminals and is about a 5 minutes walk from London's Oxford Circus in the west end where AIR Recording studios once were at the top of the building overlooking Oxford Circus from the early 1970s until the later 1980s and...

    Review Robin Trower- Bridge of Sighs (1974) *** 1/2

    Yeah I would like to hear the demos of Jude if they ever surfaced in the next few years before I die??. Robin Trower is one of my top 5 all time favourite 1970s rock guitar stars period. My Favourite Trower albums that I still occasionally listen to a couple of times during a year which are...

    1979 Was Fine!

    Surprisingly (to me) some of Pat's early albums circa 1979-80 are quite 'guitar heavy' no doubt due to her husbands own guitar playing on her albums after he had played in Rick Derringer's band around 1978/79 in the USA

    Former Iron Maiden Frontman Paul Di'Anno Dies at 66

    That's sad news but he didn't look that good a few years ago after putting on weight and maybe confined to a wheelchair full-time??. Personally I always thought Paul was a great singer for 'Maiden' back in the NWOBHM era between 1979-1981 in the UK with his shorter hair, black leather jacket...

    The SWEET (Official Thread)

    I had another look at it yesterday and the box set actually is called Sweet Senational and not Sweet Sensations my mistake!. The box set basically has all the studio albums recorded during the 1970s along with the 'live album' recorded in London and a disc with the aforementioned sessions...

    The SWEET (Official Thread)

    I currently have ALL The Sweet albums on individual cds plus about 5 or 6 years ago I bought the complete 'Sweet Sensations' box-set of about 8 cds including a disc of material recorded at the BBC and a 'live disc' as well. The only thing that in my opinion would have given the band 'more depth...

    Green Bullfrog (1971)

    I once had a cd copy of the album back in either the late 80s or early 90s but sold it anyway I recall seeing a vinyl copy of the album (possibly on purple vinyl?) way back in the early/mid 1980s in a London second hand record shop but I didn't buy it then regretfully plus the album has always...

    Review Golden Earring- Moontan (1973) *** 1/2

    I was re-listening to Moontan again a couple of times earlier this morning and I usually listen to this album a couple of times a year and it's a very good listening experience overall and I especially like Candy's Gone Bad, Radar Lover, Just Like Vince Taylor & Vanilla Queen in particular. I...

    Krokus (Official Thread)

    Marc had a great voice when he sang on those Krokus albums during the late 1970s and 1980s From memory the British music weekly newspapers like SOUNDS use to call him Marc the T-Storace for some forgotten reason?

    I liked him playing Billy the kid in the movie Pat Garrett and Billy the kid from 1973 and also the same movie features Bob Dylan as well in this Sam Peckinpah movie also Kris appears in another Sam Peckinpah movie called Convoy from 1977 I believe Kris was in his early 30s when he portrayed...

    Best album of the 70s.

    ROBIN TROWER'S TWICE REMOVED FROM YESTERDAY released in 1973 along with the follow up album BRIDGE OF SIGHS released in 1974. "Two very 'classy' rock albums from the 1970s."

    The Rolling Stones (Official Thread)

    Bill and Charlie were the 'straightest guys in the stones' that didn't do drugs which left Keith with extra 'goodie bags' to enjoy for himself!!. ;)

    Uriah Heep Farewell Tour Announcement

    I wonder if the British 'music critic' who once wrote back in 1970 "If this band makes it, I'll commit suicide!!." I presume he's long gone??.
