One I was at was the Grec - they had fire walking

The one I went to was at the old Olympic stadium, built in 1929 but they didn't actually get the Olympics, at the end of the Merce festival in September there's a procession of fire breathing dragons around the old town then everyone goes up the hill for the closing show, I got lucky and saw Chuck, the poor buggers a year later got Phil Collins.

Ah I think then we are slightly off the Grec is in the Greek theatre and end of July - maybe Chuck played both - what a great city it is

Love it.I've always said if I had to move out of London I'd have to move abroad and if I had to move abroad it would be Barcelona.

there are two cities that Glasgow wants to be when it grows up - one is New York the other is Barcelona

Love all the links guys to Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix.  :)
Lucky you-two seeing CB live...... Wow!!

Nearly Sane the Roddy Frame link was really beautiful, I don't know him at all, thanks for the introduction.
And your piano links were good too. Do you know Ludovico Einaudi's stuff? Here's one of my favourites:

Must have one more Chuck Berry...... Memphis Tennesse. This song was related to his own real-life situation (supposedly) at the time...... he is missing his wee girl.

This'll have to be my last post this evening 'cos my comp is playing up, especially on this forum, it's running really slow and not always uploading completely?!

Take care all and have a good night  :)

Thank you, SweetPea, I knew of Einaudi but not this - brilliant.

Roddy Frame was the main person in a band called Aztec Camera - the stuff he wrote at 17 is just extraordinary.

Listening to the Einaudi - tears streaming

Yes, Einaudi - his work can be a little repetitive but still draws one in - so beautiful

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uffjii1hXzU

NearlySane - so you're a Transatlantic Sessions fan too..... Blue train  :)
Apparently Series 3 is being repeated, a couple of sessions anyway,
starting this coming Friday at 7.30pm.

Get the tissues out this is a weepy......

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNEgKGEDfOk
........but wonderful

And loved this one from the final episode of the last series...... Amos Lee who has a real ring in his voice.
You can feel the sun in this song.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UPLOzA1dbc&feature=related
........ sad but luvverly  :)

indeed Sweet Pea - big fan of the Transatlantic Sessions - was at the Love and Money gig on Sunday - lead singer James Grant who is the male vocalist on Blue Train, it's the band he was in in the 80s reformed so a little rockier than the Transatlantic Sessions or indeed his solo work

Can't stand broad beans, though.

They look like something off Dr Who.

Oh, alright then, if you must:

The first song I can remember was Peter Sarstedt's 'Where do you go to? Found it on youtube, too.

Do hope that hasn't lowered the tone.

Stumbled across this 'blast from the past', while checking some songs on the xmas song thread, Jethro Tull, Living in the past:

Yeah I liked that.   Ian Anderson has a surprisingly attractive voice, as if to give the lie to his rather outrageous stage persona.

Here is something else from the early seventies - Wishbone Ash having fun experimenting with twin lead guitars

Anybody remember this : Oh Well, Peter Green with Fleetwood Mac ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAzd8Jkkqaw&feature=related

Just found this live version.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbxGqk40N4w

Excellent version.

As for a bit of live guitar, Ten Years After - I'm going home; live at Woodstock:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFpfureaCVs


do I have to mention that it should be played LOUD ?


and another live Ten Years After - Love like a man:
