Ooh, I think your just about right. If you think of the two you posted, and mix them together, I think you get something like this....
This song was on Radio 2 Jeremy Vine the other day. I'm sure you lads will have heard it before but I hadn't. I have heard of the band but not listened to much of their music apart from You're not alone. I think this is catchy as **** with the riff in it....
They look like they enjoy themselves from that video and also look like very talented players. Will have to ask me dad about them and see what he's got. I'm sure that's one of the bands he was into.
Ah, the City Hall....some great memories, I loved the place. Saddens me to see what it has become now....a venue for tribute bands and has beens. To think of some of the bands that played there....it really was up there as "the place to play".
****ing hell. They done the 'I don't like Cricket' song as well. I'm disappointed in myself and need to listen to a bit more of these lads. Please accept my apologies.
Seen some great acts at the City Hall late 60's to the mid 70's Snaggey, Yes, Joe Cocker and the Grease Band, Small Faces, Crazy World of Arthur Brown, The Who, Joan Armatrading, 10cc, The Mindbenders, Supertramp, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Steppenwolf to name but a few.
Come to think of it lads, I know loads of their tunes and they are class. Probably my favorite band now I know who they are and what they sing. In all seriousness, their songs are very 'different' a bit of rock, bit of fun and humour and the a nice love Ballard.
Wow...Some good uns there mate....would have loved to have seen the Who in their prime. Hendrix tops it though. Sometimes I watch old footage of bands like these, and sometimes the crowd seems disinterested/nonplussed. I just wonder if they really knew, or appreciated what they were witnessing. Cream at the Royal Albert Hall springs to mind. A few really into it, but mostly just blank looks. No doubt they bragged years later saying "I was there".
Simple Man, Lynyrd Skynyrd. Gary Rossington died earlier this week, the last surviving member of the original band. (He's the one playing the Gibson Les Paul) R.I.P. , fly high.
Yeah, a "supergroup"...Clapton, Jack Bruce & Ginger Baker. Check out stuff like White Room & Sunshine of your Love.... Also jimi hendrix "hey joe/sunshine of your love"... he stops playing hey Joe, and says enough of that nonsense, then goes on to play sunshine of your love...brilliant.
