Unstoppable Momentum. Joe Satriani. Still ringing in my ears. "Oh yeah, the boy can play...."

Liistening to Nick Cave today after seeing him last night at the Plenary, in fact I listen to him most days.
Great concert, lots of old stuff and most of 'Push the sky away'. Best of all was a song dedicated by Nick to my mate who was sitting next me.

^^^ Saw John Legend at the Plenary last week (chaperoning my daughter, who was desperate to see him live). Having never heard him until he came on stage, I have to say, he's a gifted singer (on vocal aptitude, he'd score up there with Jackie Wilson and Marvin Gaye) and a fair-enough pianist. His string quartet played beautifully, too.

Started listening to John Lennon last couple of days, I guess with Christmas just around the corner I'm becoming nostalgic.

Plus, and in no way related to me starting to listen to JL again, my son's learning to sing "Imagine".

Thanks for letting us know, MM. Here's a few for which Dallas laid down the groove.

No worries P4S. We're going to see LOADS of them over the next decade. Just the way it is.

To this day I still play Suite:Judy Blue Eyes. Such a great fun song to do. Their version of Woodstock is so different to Joni's but no less good. Wooden Ships is just breathtaking......

Anyway, half a dozen of my guilty 70s pleasures I've been listening to of late:

Sailor - Glass Of Champagne:

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

Graham Gouldman - Sunburn:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbtW8KB7C8Y

Dave Edmunds - Girls Talk:

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

Beckett - A Rainbow's Gold:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqh0CfT-nWQ

McGuinn, Clark & Hillman - Don't You Write Her Off:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziaoLnh_1X8

Henry Gross - Shannon:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A822OKFMQTM

Spoiled to billy-o we were

PS: Happy belated 70th to Stephen Stills (3rd Jan) , my musical godfather. Long may he run

Had the radio on in the car instead of my MP3s and heard this little number.

Drilled itself into my brain and wont get out. I swear they get psychologists to write these songs.

Listening to Robbie Williams with my 7 year old.

Vale Demis Roussos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTgloMcGh7k

Here's one Demis might have liked (Happy Birthday, Elmore - I'm still "Wild About You, Baby"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEgCTSK ... J7&index=7

And, on the subject of birthdays, Happy 60th for yesterday to a man who - despite certain perceived artistic faults (including the "glam" costumes) - could (and still can) certainly play the guitar to an extraordinary level of technical perfection. Go, Eddie, go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTY8s12OXS8

In case anyone thinks playing like that is "easy", have a look at him embellishing "Eruption" live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJYMdGpJQFs (he gets to the famous theme at about 7 m, 18 s in).

Oh God, I remember seeing that on Countdown and spending an hour working out the arrangement by ear to be able to play it on piano.

And then, having watched that, i get a bit of Racey action.

Thanks for the links. Re-viewing this sort of music from the second half of the 1970s serves as an oblique reminder of why I admired Ian Dury so much.

Love Ian Dury, saw him at Festival Hall 30 odd years ago and have been listening to a double cd of his purchased a couple of weeks ago. Not sure why, but Spasticus Autisticus seems to get the speakers pumping at my place.
