It's certainly emotional  :'(

A brief taster from Qntl V11 on line on their website now.
And its in English.

There are several bands I would love to see play over here . Subway to Sally and Faun being two ,
but I would walk on broken glass to experience Qntl live.

This I like.....from JJ and the Reluctant Ramblers.  ;)

Thanks for the link, Trev, I'd not heard Qntal before... must investigate further.

Why did I not know of this before? Fab Zep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WfoccRna6I

Last weekend I played my first gig with the duo I play in Bright Trees. This is one of the songs which my wife Nikki videod, I am the chap with the bad posture "playing" the piano accordion. It's a song called The Flight of the Wild Gander, written by John who does vocal and guitar, he writes all our stuff. This one is about a boy who is turning into a goose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxYL3X1LH2s

All of the tracks are available on Youtube: here's Christine leading Hey Jude for the finale :  http://youtu.be/GGV2XUI0qHc

Its a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some great versions; and yes, they even tackled Revolution No. 9  http://youtu.be/7WT__dkyBS4

I didn't like them before, but this is vile.  New Mumfords single:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW6SkvErFEE

Looks like it as geeeaidan's email address is @sonnetmusic, and the lady is on their artists' page.
Still, I liked the song.

I'm sure there's a David Hughes song to be had here, with a title akin to "She's done her 'pits, she must be serious".

One of my all time favorites to sing.  :) https://youtu.be/ihQbdO-_L6k

Now this is good (http://goo.gl/Qa2l7g), Skirks.

However, the song is not unpleasant ;)

You are a very suspicious man, senor skirk

I know - I'm terrible for it. I 'stumbled upon' some work on my desk this morning as well... Look - here's the Sonnet music roster - http://sonnetmusic.co.uk/artists/ - why not just plug a few names into YouTube and see if there's anyone you like the sound of? Jess and the Bandits look like they might be quite fun and I've heard good things about Hunter and the Bear (in fact I think they're doing a charity thing for my mother-in-law later in the year).

Too bloody right it is!  ;D

Great to see and hear Stephen Stills playing a new song with Neil Young doing smoking lead guitar!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmbHeqXxk_I

Jules

I hope that doesn't mean he's no longer speaking to the Croz...  ;)

Sad to say it, but the song's dreadful, isn't it?

Stephen's always going to side with Neil.  I believe that Stills and Croz have been distant since the mid 70s!  I don't know whether Neil and Croz have patched things up yet or not.

I thought the song was good.  Not great, but good.

Jules

I can remember an email conversation with the Croz about Stills c.'96 (wish I still had the correspondence, but lost it as it was on my Lampeter uni email account - although I can remember his email addy...he was quite a prolific, if pithy and to the point correspondent) in which he said something like "We're Brothers, man - we love each other but seeing each other on stage for a couple of hours is more than enough...not like Willy - he's a friend."

Just listened to that song twice.  To these ears it's really dreadful, made almost bearable only by some nice gentle noodling from Neil.

Nice to see Claudio Caniggia on bongos
Steve's still struggling voice -wise, the song is a 5/10 but Bernard does a nice wee solo

Yeah, that sounds about right.  Croz and Stephen were pretty close once...and then he met Graham.



Stills isn't anywhere near as bad as he was 10, 15 years ago.  That's pretty good for him these days.

I think that's Stephen's kid on bongos.

Just listened to that this morning myself, in honor of the day!

Here's the 'real thing' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiWTkMbAqRE Makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Proper tradition, that.

I used to live in Cornwall many moons ago - I saw this a couple of times 'in the flesh' - this brings back so many memories.

Lovely version of Beverly Martyn's The Ocean by Francoise Hardy. The album from which it comes from,If You Listen IS worth a listen. There is also a very passable version of The Garden of Jane Delawny.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B86Fd2IAs6s

Only just discovered this band. Galley Beggar. This is from their soon to be released third album,Silence and Tears.

Nice one...not seen that before I don't think.  

Yes, think so. I'm looking toward to the new album. And I must see them live. I think the Leigh folk fest is their next gig but due to work commitments I can't make it.

Beverley Martin's Can't Get the zone I want by Francoise Hardy.

Discovered Reg Meuross at the weekend at Cromer, Folk on the Pier. It was a fantastic weekend, Oysterband headlined, but this is a new discovery for me and I liked his stuff a lot. especially this song, banned by the BBC  ;)...check him out....

I've just discovered that Neil Kempsall has made an animated video to go with Martyn Bennett's "Mackay's Memoirs". Very reminiscent of his earlier film for "Hallaig" and well worth the watching. It's on Vimeohttps://vimeo.com/92154821. And for those unfamiliar with the Hllaig film, the version on Vimeo is much higher resolution then YouTube. https://vimeo.com/25562404.

Seen Reg a few times now. He's just exceptional. All the songs are good , they changed her mind, is just about the best condemnation of 20th Century Psychiatry Ive ever heard.

But my favourite is the excellent and Jolly "Drovers Road" which he has promised to play for me at Wirral folk festival on June 7th .

What a line up for the main stage that night.

First................... Merry Hell
Then ..................Blackbeards Tea Party
Next ...................Reg Mueross
Finally................. Fairport Convention.

Neil Young + Promise Of The Real - A Rock Star Bucks A Coffee Shop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC2DpGaykaI

Laudable (but rubbish) imho...(unlike the coffee which is just rubbish).

His lyrics sound like he's reading from a political protester's speech.  As you say, the sentiments are fine, but make for a clunky song.  Make a ******* effort, Neil!  *sigh*

The music's funky enough.  But, yeah, it's all a bit meh.

Jules

The music's clunky enough...the lyrics are just trite.  I'm starting to give up on him tbh.

Only starting?!   :o   ::)

Neil's so out of touch with the muse that he'd have to work very hard to find her again.  Or, better yet, let somebody else push him and tell him when he's ****, like David Briggs used to do.

Interesting, never seen that before. I'm off to see Justin in Porthcawl tomorrow. Don't think he's got these folk with him though!  :)

It was just put up in the last week or so. I had seen him mention it on his FB page. Really must see him one of these days solo.

Not really a music vid but still...this is Adam Scovell's film adaptation of the Holloway book by Robert Macfarlane, Stanley Donwood and Dan Richards with a soundtrack by Richard Skelton.

Well worth 8 and a half minutes of your time (I think)...

John Jones' latest album Never stop moving.  ;) Incredible place where he lives giving him the inspiration to write and complete this album especially after recovering from his illness......have heard some of these songs live and it sounds a fantastic album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByzagTY6SG8&feature=youtu.be

Watched it yesterday and September can't come soon enough as the teasers from the album sound wonderful. And what a beautiful place he lives in. I could get used to that!

Very nice, thanks for posting. It is indeed a lovely area & his local is Michelin starred. Some of the more mountainous shots are somewhere continental, not Herefordshire.  :)

The new David Gilmour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1v7hXEQhsQ

Am I the only one that's wildly disappointed with this?

No - it's OK, quite catchy, nowt special.  However, keep your eyes peeled David - there's likely to be some ThraKbox vids popping up on the DGM Live youtube channel soon - trailing the October release of another megabox!

Is it as disappointing as "The Endless River" and why is he using too much eye make up?

He suddenly looks like Michael Stipe's older brother.

Jules

I quite like The Endless River...its only disappointing if one imagines it to be another Pink Floyd album, which of course it isn't (ignore what it says on t'cover).  Gilmour's last solo album (and resultant live one) were (imho) top notch.  This sounds rubbish, but I'll give it another chance, I suppose...

Thrak box set looks interesting, Paul!

It's available to order from Burning Shed, David... £94 incl postage.

Van der Graaf Generator, the promo video for Refugees from 1970. The guy who found this in his attic contacted Peter Hammill and David Jackson to get the okay for it to be put up on YouTube and neither can remember the session or even seeing the video before. Quality is a little dodgy, but what a find.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnyUeLejBNs

Wow...what a find indeed.  Thanks for posting that...wonderful  :)

I don't look at Youtube a lot, but my attention was drawn to this. It captures the inspired amateurism of the band, I feel, and they are so beautiful here too.

Yesterday I rediscovered this nice Zouk song:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laisse_parler_les_gens

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G02YNxLk7g

One of my favourite Neil Young songs.

I found many clips of him playing it at concerts over the years all over the world
so he knows many people love that song or he also likes it very much.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw18eQxsT_M

I think he's pretty much guaranteed to play it at every electric concert he does, so yes, I'd say it remains a favourite of his for sure.

Surely there is only one song to play on such a portentous date Rush 2112 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJPAjiSX7Rk I still love it and its amazing despite being the most pretentious concept ever.

Nice song from Patience Dabany from Gabon and Jacob Desvarieux from the French Antilles.

Patience Dabany married when she was 15 years old with Omar Bongo who later became the president of Gabon,
after 30 years of marriage she divorced and then started a musical career, she is also the mother of the current
president:

Amazing the things you can find on Youtube, I was very glad when I found this:

Always a good idea to say what it is (in this case, the documentary The Life & Times of Ronnie Lane).  Good find though...I can remember watching this when it came out, look forward to watching it again.  Thanks.

David, I have to confess it was pure laziness.

If you can't be lazy at xmas time............ :)

I thought I couldn't be surprised any more by Robin's choice of covers, after Songs for Guitar -- Just Like the River. Thanks David.

In 1965 I heard a record on the radio which, to me me, sounded absolutely fantastic. I do not know if it was on radio Luxembourg or one of the pirate stations.
I went to the biggest record shop in town and ordered it, I did go there almost every week but in the end it took four months before it arrived.

I found several clips of that song but the one below was the best of all, young people dancing. I do not know if the images were taken from a tv broadcast
or that someone filmed it in some club, the song is Get yourself home by The Fairies:

Also done by The Pretty Things:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD5wxVyk8bg

The song was written by The Pretty Things manager but they rejected it, but as I found out now they did record it at the time. After hearing their version I still prefer the one done by The Fairies.

Who could possibly forget Ramblin' Rod & His New Morris Van, with their 1984 single '(I Can Do The) Molly Dance'?

Pretty much everybody, that's who.  But for obscurity value:

The title track from Trembling Bells new album. Definitely more folky than some of their recent stuff, but still as good. Still think Lavinia has one of the best voices in the folk scene.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqjno5IziPU

Lovely Molly - Live Album Recording Session with the Roundhouse Choir

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOjtlZE6uH0

Twenty years ago my wife and I visited the place were she was born (Papua) in Indonesia.
We stayed with one of her nieces and when I was there I heard their Pop music and also some
of their Folk music, that is Moluccan and Papuan music. I immediately fell in love with both types
although their Pop music sounds rather sweet and melancholy.

The big hit then was a song by a Moluccan singer called Yopie Latul who sang a a song called
Poco Poco, the dance became popular there and Indonesian soldiers used it as an exercise and
later when it was shown on national tv it spread all over Indonesia.

In 2011 it also reached neighbouring country Malasia were many people also enjoyed it.
However a rather conservative mufti soon declared a fatwa and wanted to outlaw the dance
there. He said that the movements of this dance (an innocent line dance) had christian influences
because the dancers moved in the four directions (meaning the cross). Fortunately sanity prevailed
(like in 2008 when the same guy tried to ban yoga and also Muslim youths from wearing the jerseys
of Manchester United because the club's emblem contains a symbol of the devil). Oher religeous
leaders found the health benefits more important and gave the green light.

Here a clip of hundreds of people dancing the Poco Poco in Jakarta and enjoying it eventhough
some people think it is a dangerous and muslim belief eroding dance. Even the only girl who wears a head scarf
(who can be seen after a minute of four) is enjoying it very much.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_Qi_55uvPo

Sorry if this has been up before, but it made me laugh. Only works if you don't know any German, of course.

When I visited my wife's family in West Papua they introduced me to Moluccan and Papuan music, I was hooked immediately.

Here a clip of one of the many Papuan vocal groups who play Folk music, usually with guitars, bass and ukulele (some of these are selfmade):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfLMNdsz-J8        

There were several dances very popular at that time, one of them was called Wayase and eventhough the Papuan people who live in East Papua do not speak the same Papuan languages
as the people in West Papua and eventhough the lingua franca is different (Indonesian for West Papua and English for East Papua) this dance crossed the border to East Papua. Here a group of
young Papuans dancing the Wayase somewhere on Port Moresby:

Hattie Briggs was a finalist in the BBC Young Folk Musician I think a couple of years ago. I have been following her career, though sadly yet to see her live and hope that she gets the breaks to really go places.

See what you think.

I'm afraid I got rather obsessed as to whether that cello was really mic'd up or not.  Not sure what that proves.

Other than that...pleasant ditty, nice voice.... I guess at 2 o'clock on the little stage in some folk festival somewhere it would be very pleasant.

Penny Hop were a short lived, occasional English folk "big band" of the mid-1980s, featuring various members of Pyewackett and others. Musically, they were a combination of English ceilidh and New Orleans jazz.  They never released any official recordings, but here are a couple of long lost sessions from 1984!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyd3bL5GWfk

The last couple of months I have been listening with great pleasure to two female groups from the Solomon Islands. I have found several video and audio clips of both of them on Youtube but trying to buy their albums is impossible, I tried Amazon Australia but they also do not stock their albums, they are probably only for sale locally. Further I could find only one article each about them on the net, that was all.

The group who has most video clips on Youtube is called Kopere, they consist of three girls and have made three albums, the last one was released last year. On the following clips only two of the girls take part, the third girl is probably someone who happened to be near when they shot the clip.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDdiCfjsoJw

The other group who has been very popular in the region is called Sisiva, they  began in 2005. I found 4 video clips and several audio clips, what I find irressistable (of both groups) are the wonderful melodies and voices. Last couple of years they have not recorded anything probably because they all started families. The blond girl in the group (who I think is very pretty) is a natural blonde, it seems that about 10% of the population has blond hair which is cause by some gene.

In between the singer explains to the interviewer the difference between their music and that of Fairport and Steeleye.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao7FU6QBN6I

Nice find.  Enjoyed that...  :)

LOL  the main difference being that "we're young". I wonder what they're doing now...

(Dylan) - "I don't believe you.....you're a liar!" "Play it f*ckin' loud!"

That part is still hotly contested.

Jules

I don't believe you.  ;D

it certainly sounds like that's roughly what he says!
i always thought he just said "play f*****g loud" and Micky whacks the snare

I always thought he just repeated "you're a liar" off-mic, but with an expletive inserted.

I don't really know why David, but this has something of the Dead's "Eyes of the World" about it.

That's a bold call.  Haven't really heard that in the mix yet, but I'm not disagreeing....  :)

Not the melody, but just the soft, floaty, jazzy feel. Maybe it's just me!

Paul Kantner Celebtation of Life from the 2016 Haight Asbury Street Fair.

David Nelson Band, Quicksilver Messenger Service & from about 2h 49m, Jefferson Starship.

Even without Paul, they turn in a fab set.  :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=proC5f4S8fA

Ooooh!  Nice one.  Looks tasty.  :)

Thanks Ian. I read the reports of the celebration but didn't know of any links.  ;D

I can't recommend the Starship set highly enough, if that's the way your pleasure tends  :)

I'm being very lazy here...but who is JS for this show?  Any Marty/Jack?

Alas, no. But on the up side, no Mickey Thomas either. Cathy Richardson, David Freiberg, Chris Smith, Jude Gold, Donny Baldwin. With Pete Sears, Prarie Prince, Darby Slick, Jackson Dryden plus a couple more I can't remember. A quick sight of China (Kantner / Slick, don't recall her current name), getting a presentation of something or other.

Just watch the damn thing. You won't regret it.  :)

Great set eh Ian? Freiberg still sounds fantastic doesn't he?
Good to see Dino's son with QMS too.

Well, that was never going to happen, was it?  :)

Yeah,you're right.  I'm just clearing 5 hours in the diary.  Should be watching it sometime in April 2018.

The link has gone now David. Private video apparently.

This is nothing unusual, but it brightened up my morning, though it seems almost unfair someone can be so good- looking and so talented at the same time. The song is about PMT, apparently.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5Yl5j43sDU

The fact he's on the Monkees Show is some sort of comment on the culture of the times ,-- but it's an amazing performance.As I'v e said elsewhere, forget the facts he's dead and he took heroin, and just listen.

Can you please say who the artist is when putting up links?  :)

And You And I - Fragile featuring Claire Hamill

Sorry, Jude: Sheryl Crow and Tim Buckley respectively. Maybe that's why my posts on this thread attract no comment?? ???

Yes, I'd seen this a couple of weeks ago. It's the first time that I've ever wished Stephen Stills hadn't sung.
Apart from that, it's a great video.

I've seen it.  It's odd.  Neil Young wouldn't do Johnny Carson with the Springfield, but he'd do this?   ???

Wow. Tom had - and indeed still has - a great voice.

My parents had a live Tom album - Live At The Flamingo in Las Vegas - and I loved it. I've since bought my own copy, (two in fact!) and it's still a great listen. Jones The Voice is right.

There's a bluesy arrangement of Danny Boy on it which is great, and a whole bunch of other soulfully sung belters. A great album.


P.S I just looked to see if it was ever released on CD......I nearly choked !

he was a little tight of trouser at times, our Tom  :o

I think it was the price (over £290) that he was choking at, sis  ;)

Lol. While I am a great admirer of Tom's voice, I don't like him THAT much.  ;D

A rather lovely version of My Back Pages by Roger McGuinn and Marty Stuart from a couple of years ago...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3ChFfKsaXI

That's great!  Lovely solo from Marty Stuart too.

I just looked on Wiki, the Telecaster that Stuart is playing was the original prototype string bender that Clarence White and Gene Parsons built. Stuart bought it off White's widow apparently.

Yes, he treasures that guitar.  And, more importantly, plays it!

I think that counts as 'positively hysterical' in Fripp terms, doesn't it?

Having watched it through again, I'm not sure I  am too keen on the visuals, but its all about the music really!

Yeah, that was my thinking as well (and several comments seem to agree).  They look almost like some of those TOTP visuals with Legs & Co in the 70's.  'Cheesy' was my first thought.  Rather unnecessary... it's the music I'm really interested in so I'll save some money and get the Blue Ray version even though I don't have a blu ray player yet!

Thanks Mike, . . ./ I think . . 8) ;D

Has anyone not seen this version of 'John Barleycorn' by Steve Winwood. ?

I think it's beautiful.

Yep, but thanks for reminding me about it.  I wish he spent considerably more time in this kind of musical mood.

This takes me right back to hearing the Traffic album version for the first time when I really didn't know what folk music was. Always thought it was the stand out track on the album. This is a lovely version, really suits his voice.

I don't know the exact year of the clip (it's from a BBC special, apparently) but I'm struck by how undamaged his voice is. It sounds as good as it does on the album version, which was what 1971 (?)

After the traffic version anyone else covering it knows there is just the silver medal available.

Eighteenth Day of May with a cover of Buffy Sainte-Marie's Cod'ine, a live regular in the 18th Day set back in the day. A one-off reunion (minus Allison Brice who these days lives in NYC) at Richard Olson's birthday bash at Walthamstow Tennis Club last month.

The second is of them at Banbury Trades and Labour Club (https://youtu.be/bT0coxYeyiE), the evening before Cropredy this year. A Little Johnny England interlude is included with the great GT turning in a great performance.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the heads up,Andy

I may have somehow pressed 'record' on the camera when Ken Nicol did this at his solo gig last night, a version of a song he co-wrote with Ashley Hutchings, and which appeared on the Albions' Road Movies album...

CSNY doing Neil's Down By The River on TV.  I challenge anyone to find a better clip of the four of them at their peak:-

Excellent, really enjoyed that. I love reading some of the comments on these youtube clips. Someone posted that Stephen Stills is an underrated guitarist and a reply from another fella agreed, but then added 'Graham Nash, not so much.' Perhaps he hadn't noticed that Graham Nash was playing keyboards on this ;D

A good 'un, that...thanks!

They're no Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young and Jones though, are they?  ;D
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PamO6obWcQk

Bizarre yet enjoyable that one.

I often play that to people when they diss Mr Jones.  Corking  :)

A brilliant track from Soft Machine in 1976.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKHSKYR1_iw

Well that takes me back, but I wasn't interested until Neil Young was in the mix. Which set me off looking for the great fractured masterpiece that is 'Broken Arrow'.
No early video, but this is good:

with probably even more limited appeal (although I know there's a few fans on here)....some early Split Enz

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4N7d3OIQzg  :)

I like Softs now, especially the Harvest era, but didn't like them at the time. Thanks for posting. I know the venue too.

I missed this yesterday...  Should be in the Fairport clips of interest really.  Exactly the sort of music that Ric's undoubted talents are (for me) most closely aligned to (although having said that he's brilliant on Rise Up Like the Sun too, so what the hell do I know?).  I adore John Etheridge's guitar in a 'rocky' setting too...it was a pleasure seeing him with Hawkwind the other year....

Great stuff.  Thank you, Andy.

And here's a little more, available for a short time only though

Every year there is a tv programme called Top 2000 here in the Netherlands, there are 6 shows starting Boxing day until new year's eve.
In every show there are interviews with all kinds of stars.
The last couple of weeks they have shown interviews they did not use. it is not a Youtube clip but a clip of the tv company.
In this episode there are short interviews with Jeff Lynne, Roger Hodgson, Average White Band, Graham Gouldman (explaining about the
name 10cc) and Eric Burdon talking about Randy Newman and Cynthia Weil.

Good one Al. I'll counter this with this version of Jingle Bells by a young group of bluegrass musicians all the way from deepest....New Jersey? Seriously we saw these guys awhile back and they are the real deal-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEUIR2RIC-M

This popped on my Facebook this morning, http://www.fruitsdemerrecords.com/dwindling.html Us and Them have mini album called Dwindling Within the Fading Sun it has Winter Winds, Farewell Farewell, Next Time Around, Banks of the Nile, and Take Away the Load on it. a bit folk-lite for me but I am sure there is an audience out there for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64FeK9QNgD0 and this version of By the time it gets dark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izr3V_3MVGs I prefer yo lan tengo's version if any https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S5gbp8adho&list=RD_S5gbp8adho

However much I don't want to like this i Do. The WUrzels - Don't Look Back in Anger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7F6Jnrqa4c

Sadly, it's got that thing that virtually all 'comedy' music versions has...it doesn't take itself seriously.  There's a good version in there waiting to come out.  That isn't it.  Far too 'knowing'....wink, wink, background farm animal noise.

My nephew sent me this link . It's a Georgian group called Trio Mandili. I hadn't come across them before, but they sound great to me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Peo-pca9J1U

Elbow have just been on Graham Norton. They're good, but just a little too far up their own arses.
So here they are being less so. (http://rathergood.com/2016/04/04/northern-kittens-play-independent-woman-as-covered-by-elbow/)

The song sounded like they are stuck trying to rewrite "one day like this",not great

They are headlining Victorious this year. Looking forward to it.

Just found this video of the Mary Chapin Carpenter's wonderful band with DM on drums, which toured the UK in 1999, including a week at the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith where I saw them on 03/11/99 - a mindblowing gig!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDvRC8FhWoE

Probably been posted posted before, but I would be interested in peoples opinion on Doc Watson's - Matty Groves, I like it to the extent that I may purchase the album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SwOCf4My2o

Maybe BJ will do more of this sort of thing if he can't sing with AC/DC any more

Brian Johnson & Billy Mitchell - Sunday for Sammy 2006

Betts, Hall, Leavell and Trucks(effectively the Allman's sans Gregg) - Southbound, Recorded Live: 5/7/1983

It does indeed "rock like a ba****d"!

https://www.jambase.com/article/watch-frank-zappa-sit-pink-floyd-1969

Frank Zappa plays with Pink Floyd. For a long time it was believed, after the passing of many years, that this was merely a legend. Then an audience recording turned up, so we could hear it. Now we can see it.
This, to be fair, is not Frank and the Floyd jamming. It is Frank trying to get some improv going, but the Floyd are merely playing their standard post Syd Barret structured arrangement of Interstellar Overdrive as per usual.
Still, fascinating none the less.

Yes' Yours Is No Disgrace (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd4jeeu90Rk) live at the Rainbow Theatre December 1972. Watch Steve Howe go nuts 10 minutes in... ;D

Found on Youtube today, I was there.  ;D

Loved that Andy!! Thank you  ;D

Listening to some RW albums at the moment, and this cover of  a certain folk song (a live version here) made me think of the TAW crowd. So, d'you like it or does it make you cringe??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu1Hkhdcv2g

 8)

Love it.  Obviously.

I like it too, because it's Robin W, though it's rather long. The album it's on - Just Like the River - -Songs for Guitar (2009) is a very loose, relaxed a ffair. The vocals are very much of the moment, and some of the guitar arrangements are sparse. But it has a great feel to it, and is an interesting selection of songs. The version of 'Wild Horses' (The Stones) is very nice.

Apologies if anyone's seen this before (or is afraid of clowns!) Weird but strangely compelling

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bfPwtUTP4k

Strangely enough I came across Alice Phoebe Lou when Tanita Tikaram posted this song on her facebook I really like her stuff this is my favourite though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPH9j0qVM3A

(Probably) the best thing you will see and hear today.  Mr Richard Dawson - Weaver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G54_PYN1Sp4

I saw Richard Dawson live, supporting someone, a while ago, and it was an extraordinary experience.

Can you remember who?  I saw him at Green Man 2015.  Ditto.  Being a Wire reader I knew what to expect, but there were many around that didn't.  A lot still thought (think) he was a comedy act, mind.  I think this latest stuff is genuine top dollar material.

 Trembling Bells And Mike Heron - following a quick google search.  :)

His music isn't something I'd listen to on record, but it came across well live. The delivery was something of the nature of the late Kevin Coyne.

You might want to change your mind with the latest one.  It's quite simply brilliant.

Didn't manage to capture Marion & PJ's fab rendering of "WKWTTG", but here's Fleetwood Cave at the BBC Music Day event at Byfield Village Hall. "Wizard of the Worldly Game /Lazarus".  :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zoP6rpbhsQ

For the very simple reason that a friend posted it on his timeline saying he was learning to play it.  Been decades since I listened to it.  Great stuff.

Budgie - Breadfan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54H3EUAzpVg&feature=share

Budgie are almost my only concession to liking Metal.

One of the first bands I saw live (Guildford Civic Hall, early 80s).  They must have been supporting someone like Gillan, or maybe Wishbone Ash?  Don't think I've ever actually heard anything by them on record.

Joe Walsh, "Life's Been Good", this week. (https://youtu.be/wkRCLy56sOM) Great stuff.

For a while, a singer/songwriter called Steve Hammond was in Fat Mattress with whom the band I played in from 1963-1965 recorded demos of 3 or 4 songs he wrote. I remember that my parents were not happy that I was going to rehearsals when I should have been studying for A levels!!

It's been done before, but... McCartney Rooftop Concert.

Hi folks.

I haven't been on here for a while. I hope it's okay to come back in and post a wee link to my daughter's band's vid.

I won't slink off, I'll put a few quid behind the bar in t'Arms and a shilling in the jukebox.

ermmm, it's a bit sweary, and it's a bit punk, just to forewarn.... (it's actually the most "commercial" thing they do)

David Gilmour's version of Dimming Of The Day (https://youtu.be/EK2N3S0lr4c).

Apologies if a duplication of a previous post.

Thanks for that...not seen it before, I don't think.  It's certainly interesting.  Wouldn't say I like it, mind...but definitely don't dislike it.  Hmmmm.  Listen again methinks.

Nice little Peter Gabriel Solsbury Hill montage (https://youtu.be/WeYqJxlSv-Y).

Not to mention a duet with Sting on Digging In The Dirt (https://youtu.be/NjhLD8LZ-Hc).

They're 67 and 65 respectively, you know.

I know some of you where there, but Oysterband's complete set from Shrewsbury Festival is up. They seem so energized with Pete Flood on the drums and Adrian Oxaal really seems to be getting more of an idenity with the group. But nothing as energizing as when they play My Country Too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LgunuqYAxc&feature=youtu.be

Nice one Mike. Tales of Silversleeve is an exceptional album imo. She's one of Ireland's hidden treasures. Talking of which, just been listening again to the  beautifully quirky and intelligent Julie Feeney, the Pages album. For a taster Google/YouTube  Impossibly Beautiful.  Sumptuous stuff.

Julie Feeney - there you go (and yes she is, impossibly beautiful   ;)
http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzLStiet7r0

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyVtLpfGobU

It certainly is a damn fine record. The comment of one of the videos says that she will never be successful because she's too talented. Possibly true, and therefore sad. It took a while to edit the link you gave to make it work, but Julie Feeney seems familiar from somewhere...nice selections.

I wonder if 'Nutty Irish Chicks' should become an official genre.

I recently came across this young guitarist, Josh Turner, though he plays banjo on this cover of 1952 Vincent. There are dozens of videos on his YouTube channel and he's keen on 60s and 70s music with covers by The Beatles, Dylan, James Taylor, CSN and many others. Check out his Nick Drake covers too - there are nice versions of Hazey Jane II and Three Hours.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQK2xFOAxrI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97tkKy2iYNE&feature=share

Sounds like a tune that's slightly more well known that came out a couple of years after it....

First song i thought of was Donovan's Season of the Witch, which came out 5 years before this, but then they came in with the melody.

I was thinking of a Pink Floyd one, but I can see the Donovan now you mention it.

what a great piece of early Beatles footage from swedish Tv 1963

Well, thanks for that David.
If you hadn’t posted that I would still be blissfully unaware of just how bad one of my heroes has become!

A thousand apologies.  It's beyond depressing, isn't it.  He's been slowly heading in this direction for 20 years, but the last 5-10 have been abject.  Really sad.

I'm interested (seriously!) what is it about it that you don't like?

Trite lyrics, trite sentiment, going through the motions 'this will do' delivery.  I could go on. This is a man that wrote Ohio in a couple of hours.  He obviously still thinks he can do the same.  He can't.  I love the man, and I love his music (into the 90's), but this stuff makes 'Landing on Water' look complex and majestic by comparison.

What a shame. He's written some of my favourite music, I wonder what has made him go off?

Oh, mine too.  I adore virtually everything he did in the 60's and 70's although I find many people's favourite, Harvest, rather pallid to be honest - and actively dislike its successor Harvest Moon album.

With very few notable exceptions, most musician's very finest work is in their 20's.  His continued into his 50's.  He had a great run.  One of the things that makes this all so depressing is his productivity levels.  It's so much harder to ignore when there's another rubbish album every year (or more).

I think even Graham Nash would put that song in a file marked "possible B-side". I had to stop it after a minute. 'Let's Impeach the President' wasn't brilliant but this is just plain sad. Any more of this and I think it'll be time for him to hang up his guitar and enjoy his retirement.

The lovely Kate Rusby covers RT's "We'll Sing Hallelujah". Happy Winter Solstice.  :)

Thompy sings Joni. Quintessential RT, for all of of his advocates and his detractors. Lovely shot of Ms. Mitchell toward the end really digging it. https://youtu.be/h54rRq2SAv0

Yes indeed...Spine tingling stuff...

Thanks for posting... :)

Quintessential, indeed.  Genius.  The best version of Woodstock I've heard by a member of Fairport...  ;) :)  ps I enjoyed his look to her even more.

I don't know if this Mary Chapin Carpenter video has been reported - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BASy6-gDm8

Dave Mattacks in what I always considered to be her best ever band, saw them at the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith in November 1999. I remember a rather large gentleman who seemed to be at every gig I went to sold me his ticket - Mike was his first name.

I was pointed towards this today. The wonderful Jack the Lad in 1975 on the Whistle Test. Two songs (Rocking Chair and Gentleman Soldier) plus the Morris Miner Dance, or, as Billy Mitchell called it - 'Geordie culture'  ;D

Jeez, I didn't know he was in a wheelchair now.

Jules

Cait O'Riordan looks better 30+ years on than she did in the mid 80's!
Shane looks like they dug him up and put a bit of make up on him, badly.

The two statements may not be entirely unrelated.  Cait gave up drinking in 2007.  Shane, er, didn't.

Having seen The Transports recently at Union Chapel I thought I would put this youtube link up. Apologies if this has been added before, I did a search on Shrewsbury Fest. 2017 and Youtube clips of interest threads but couldn't see it.

Is it not?  ??? I'm confused. I got it from here: http://www.imwan.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=105432

Just recognised the track.  Maybe he's played it live already and I've got it on a recording somewhere?  Or maybe I'm just wrong!  Probably the latter.

Now, this is odd.  Miku Hatsune sings "O Caroline" (by Matching Mole)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2gtQgWcw5g&feature=share

Odd, yes, but it made me go to the original, which I haven't heard in years.  I'd quite forgotten what a beautiful song it is.

Isn't it just.

What I love about this, is that it sounds like a lovely normal guy who’s turned up at an open mic and decided to sing something that’s very slightly out of his range. We’ve all done it. We don’t all, on the other hand, have the nous to bring along a gospel choir to help out on the choruses. Dave (David) Gilmour - Dimming of the Day. https://youtu.be/EK2N3S0lr4c

That was a nice surprise on that DVD, as was his version of Hushabye Mountain from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which was a favourite of mine from my childhood. I'd love to see him and Rog do Chu Chi Face sometime.

George Ezra and First Aid Kit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4guImi6uLo&feature=youtu.be) rather good.

40 years ago today.  Rock against Racism... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqJziLpnkEU

I was near the front of the stage at that performance. Seem to recall that Xray Spex played and Poly Styrene was wearing some sort of turban that she took off to reveal she had shaved all her hair off in protest at something or other.Patrick Fitzgerald also played I seem to remember and had a lot of cans thrown at him and went off stage in a huff.

I was 17 again watching this. Just for a few minutes  :)

This is Soundcloud rather than YouTube but thought I'd share it on here. My mate Wes undertook a project in 2011 of writing a song or a piece of music every week for the whole year, recording them and uploading them to Soundcloud. Quite an achievement. Here's his tribute to Bert Jansch.

Great new song and video from Leicester band The Brandy Thieves.

Huw and Tony Williams, continuing their 100% record of having me burst in to tears upon hearing Rosemary’s Sister. There are also versions of I Can Jump Puddles and The Summer Before The War from the same gig. https://youtu.be/fHtoT1R1ISc

Huw Williams' songs are some of the finest I've ever heard.

The Waterboys' Glastonbury performance from 1989.  One of my all-time biggest regrets was missing their performance there that year (I couldn't go, I forget why), so I'm so pleased to be able to see it now:

Will be nice to see if its anywhere near as good as '86 which I watched whilst chemically in another solar system entirely.

Cool....I WAS there...my first Waterboys experience, although, like David, I wasn't completely there...but I suspect it was a milder sort of absence.

It isn't, but I still dug it.

I was there in 1986 too.  Just about compos mentis enough to take it all in.

Jules

Just published from The Old Grey Whistle Test archives the full wonderful 1975 session from Stackridge.

This is the period when they were signed to Elton John's Rocket Record label , of note is the bright coloured suits a result of them being fitted out by Elton's dresser.

Excellent!

Ditto!

Who the hell knew this existed?

Rick Wakeman-I'm so straight I'm a weirdo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ8DWJfbHJM

I think he'd been listening to some of that New Wave stuff, you know...

Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets live in Copenhagen.  

Forget Roger Water's big spectacle, go see these twice instead.

I've not watched it all, but I've got mixed feelings.  It still sounds a tad too 'muscular' to me - playing the 60's material with a 70's (almost late 70's) rock sensibility....  But it is certainly great fun, and I'd love to see them live.

You just put into words something I was groping for.

Jules

Blair's latest single.  What do we think?

A bit bland but pleasant enough in it's way. He still seems to be seeking a direction.

I like this :

Interesting...thanks.  It's 'oversung' for me.  No idea if that means anything musically, but I know what I mean...  ;)

Watched that The Art Of Drumming documentary last night and was delighted by this young woman playing her drums in homage to Keith Moon:

There's a clip of the Crims playing Indiscipline on the dgmlive website - I am fair gobsmacked - and that's not even one of my favourites of theirs!

And whoever said "prog" was po-faced needs to watch the drummers...

Can't wait for the release of "Meltdown" next month - or the UK concerts!

WOW! That's some impressive stuff right there. My little boy is nearly a year old and I'd LOVE for him to be a drummer when he grows up. I'm gonna sit him in front of this and see if it rubs off...!

I've heard of starting them early, but not even one?

Jules

Quite. Our son didn't get his first drum kit until his second birthday...

I am not a drummer but remember being given a drum (by a mischievous Uncle!) when I was very little and my Mum limiting my time thereon by stowing it on top of the wardrobe ;D

That girl is German and is now 19. Marvellous. Lots of stuff on Youtube.

Imho some of the best British acoustic duo picking since Bert and John.  Fabulous stuff.

Jim Ghedi & Toby Hay - 'Night, Moon, Dance'

My nephew, Tom, is the drummer in this band. I'm obviously biased, but I love the song. The video is silly, mind😁

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sqDV4vjLqis

I like that!

Not bad. Here's another one of theirs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=11&v=yoPSiZ9ypUE
