what song are you listening to right now???

[CrowMan]

Pink Floyd played at Ivor Wynne the summer of '75. Crazy and insane day. After that event, they banned concerts there for many years...

Still can't wrap my head around that being 50 years ago...man, I feel old..

My Grandparents owned and lived in a 3 level walk up appt complex by the stadium (Melrose Ave), I was there with my family visiting them the day of, pissed that I was told I was to young (15) to attend. However in good old Scottish fashion my Grandfather made a small fortune in parking fees on his property for the event that day. 

This one actually......

I'm always been a big fan of Alvin Lee, very underrated blues guitarist

 

[smitty55]

For those not familiar with Ten Years After this is probably their most famous tune when it came to air play

Speaking of blues guitarists I just spent the last 2 hours listening to more of them. This tune here has to rate as one of the top instrumentals of all times with two of the top blues guitarists. Dickie Betts, one of the founding members of the Allman Brothers and sole lead guitarist after the death of Duane Allman  in'71. Since then Warren Haynes seen here joined the group to get back to two guitarists. Later on Derek Trucks, another top guitarist joined in 1999. In 2011 he was rated at no.16 of the top 100 of all time. He is the nephew of original drummer Butch Trucks and just about any big blues rock shows you'll see him playing along side all the best. If you are into guitar based blues check out the Tedeschi Trucks band, formed in 2010 with his wife Susan, she can really belt out the blues.

Here's a live concert from Tedeschi Trucks band with a 12 player ensemble doing a great cover of Clapton's Keep on Growing. 3 piece brass and 3 piece chorus. 1.5M views gives you an idea of their popularity and why they're considered one of the best blues bands in the world. Note the dual drummers just like the Allman Brothers always did.

It's blues night for sure. It's not often I won't take the original version of most hits but this version of Dylan's Tangled up in Blue takes the tune to a new level and transforms it into a wonderful blues version.
