The Oldies Musical Thread

[peteblue]

With the death of Jack Bruce, it makes you think of all the great musicians we have been privileged to see and hear, from Hendrix to the Stones, Black Sabbath to Janis Joplin.....so no kiddy bands,no boy bands, no modern day wannabe's....who are your favourite acts or performances from the true greats.........

What!!!!!!!!

 

[Woolly Blue]

Saw Van Halen supporting Sabbath at Preston Guild Hall
Sabbath blem 'em away

Saw Led Zep at Knebworth

Saw Deep Pruple Mark 3 somewhere, though I forget exactly where.

Wish I'd seen Hendrix, anywhere really.

On a more serious note, as creaking bones take over, I go to gigs now which I might not have bothered with 15 years ago, mainly because you just don't know how much longer these folks are going to be around

Saw Ian Dury on his farewell tour, same with Wilko Johnson ( f'in miracle there ).
Just to show what sort of eclectic tastes I have, went so see Bobby Womack at the Phil on a whim really, marvellous gig, and then he went and died

Make the most of these guys lads, nothing lasts forever ... except Everton obviously.

Proper bands and artists playing proper music , making proper albums . Not like today , groups of five pretty boys with no discernable talent . All with the same hair .

* downloads old TOTP episodes on the I-player

Damn, tough one. Where to begin?

Van Morrison, Stones, Robert Johnson, Harry Chapin, Bob Segar, Buddy Miles, The Who, Fleetwood Mac (with peter green), Cream, Slim Harpo, Bowie, Johnny Cash.....


I could go on all night ffs.

Jeff Lynne ..musical genius . As the recent Hyde Park headlining concert proved .

 

[The Esk]

Bowie - Serious Moonlight Tour, Frejus S France 1983

 

[tommye]

Best gig, well most memorable, was Ray Charles at the nynex in Manchester. (June 96)

Still get goosebumps thinking about him singing Georgia.
Was sat in front row slap bang in front of Ray. Absolute legend.

 

[Woolly Blue]

John Martyn - SU at Liverpool circa 1979 / 80

Gary Moore - Academy Manchester, 1992 or 93 ? - probably the best gig I've ever been to.
