CrowMan Posted December 9, 2024 Report Posted December 9, 2024 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.. 1

smitty55 Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 I'm always been a big fan of Alvin Lee, very underrated blues guitarist
smitty55 Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 For those not familiar with Ten Years After this is probably their most famous tune when it came to air play 1
smitty55 Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 (edited) 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. Edited February 22 by smitty55
smitty55 Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 (edited) 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. Edited February 22 by smitty55
smitty55 Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 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.

smitty55 Posted Friday at 02:19 AM Report Posted Friday at 02:19 AM I too was a huge fan of Yes, I had at least 5 of their albums, the first one being Close to the Edge. I even had the Rick Wakeman album Six Wives of Henry the Eighth. Lol I never figured I'd be seeing comments here about partying with Sid, I was well acquainted with him too but never went overboard on it. Anyone remember windowpane? 2

Lol I never figured I'd be seeing comments here about partying with Sid, I was well acquainted with him too but never went overboard on it. Anyone remember windowpane? Expand Same here, huge Wakeman fan. A few years back, when Yes were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Rick (who seemed a little "over refreshed" from the celebrations) told a joke during his acceptance speech, that's always stuck with me: "Now that I'm an older man I had to go the doctor's for a Prostate exam. So I drop my trousers, bend over, hear the snap of the rubber glove, and it feels like a gerbil is burrowing itself into my backside. The doctor says to me, "Don't be embarrassed, it's not uncommon to get an erection during this part of the exam". I answer, "But doctor, I don't have an erection". The doctor replies, "I know, but I do". Edited Friday at 12:56 PM by CrowMan 1
Spiel Posted Friday at 08:23 PM Report Posted Friday at 08:23 PM Big fan since 1980..... Privileged to have seen them live on a few occasions, damn they was loud! 1
