My collection of Otis Redding albums - presently up to track 3 (a cover of Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come") on his 4th album (Otis Blue). Another 6 to go after this one. I quite like the band - they should make some more records.

Mambo Sun. Well, the whole of Electric Warrior, really.

Little bit of celtic punk (at least, that's what they call it)

Jay has porked up a bit since I last saw him, Hayley, the violinist, is still hot and very very good.

PTID should look in for the sign displayed at about 2m 47s (unless, of course, it is actually his sign).

Humble Pie's version of Dr John's "I Walk on Gilded Splinters" from 1971's Performance - Rockin' the Fillmore. Peter Frampton's playing was a thing of great creativity and beauty in those early days.

I have always very much admired musicians like these who could take the idea at the heart of a song written by someone else and turn it into something completely other. So, eg, if you didn't know the lyrics and basslines from every song on Dr John's Gris-Gris, you'd scarcely recognise this as his song - it's more like a point of departure than a "cover".

Here's the 1967 original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed5gc0hM8u0

"Je suis le grand zombie".

I'd forgotten how I can use music to influence and change my mood.

I need to do it more often,

Crosby, Stills and Nash. 4-way Street. I'm on disc 2, about 9m and 47s through Southern Man, which is the furthest I've ever got. Tragically awful guitar-playing - and why the f*^% didn't he tune the thing before he started?

When it finishes, I guess I'll listen to Free Bird to get the taste out of my mouth. Why did these three magnificent musicians let this clown join their band? It's like if the Jimi Hendrix Experience decided to become a quartet by adding Justin Beiber.

Oh Stephen, where for art thou?

America's Children is one of the more stunning performances ever captured.
For What It's Worth is just as relevant, if not more so, than when it was written 50 years ago. Jeez I feel old now

And my personal favourite: "Mean Old World" from Vanguard's "Chicago: The Blues Today, Volume 2", recorded in 1965. My brother had this vinyl in his collection (as, so it happens, did Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page) and I wore it out for him.
