And, since you've mentioned the greatest under 5 minutes in the histlory of music (again), here's someone's attempt to synch it with film footage of them playing the same song at a different concert in England. Not, perhaps, as perfect as actual time travel - but not bad. The soundtrack is, of course, the famous recording from Wheels of Fire: Live at the Fillmore.

Not something I'd listen to P4S :)

I've been listening to a bit of Wings again. This is close to my favourite song...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P_VfLun96o

The album was mostly recorded at EMI's studio in Lagos, Nigeria, as McCartney wanted to make an album in an exotic location. Shortly before departing for Lagos, drummer Denny Seiwell and guitarist Henry McCullough left the group.
With no time to recruit replacements, McCartney went into the studio with just his wife Linda and Denny Laine. McCartney therefore played bass, drums, percussion and most of the lead guitar parts.The studio was of poor quality and conditions in Nigeria were tense and difficult; the McCartneys were robbed at knifepoint, losing a bag of song lyrics and demo tapes. After the band's return to England, final overdubs and further recording were carried out in London, mostly at AIR Studios.
Don't count the days, make the days count.

Billy Joel releases his first new single this century https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOf6CMbHPuA

Not bad.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

If you're ever looking for a lift, ELO is a great go to. Our morning wake up alarm is Mr. Blue Sky. Works a treat. And ELO has something for everyone, including you muso types.

Hold on Tight is explicitly an uplifting song for a quick mood fix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkekqVPIc2M

Here's a pretty good ELO top 10: https://www.smoothradio.com/features/to ... gs-ranked/

I often find myself going from ELO to the Traveling Wilburys to Tom Petty.
In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

I can't recall having listened to Wayne Shorter. I'm now gliding into Monday...

Johnny Hammond- Gears (1975) one of my favourite Jazz-Funk albums, which is aided having Chuck Rainey on bass.
Rainey's bass in Los Conquistadores Chocolates is sublime! (just as it is through the whole album)

After Coltrane, there was no-one but Shorter, both as a player and as a composer. His "Infant Eyes", which is amongst the links I posted, is just a beautiful piece.

Here he is humouring Joni Mitchell on a cover of Corinna, Corinna (Wayne joins about 1 m 25 s in):

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

"A Bird That Whistles", indeed! When I saw this CD in a store in the 80s, I knew I had to buy a CD player - in fact, I bought the CD and had to wait weeks to hear it!!!

And here's his second great group (after the mid-60s Miles Davis) - the ridiculous Weather Report, from Mongtreux in 1976, with that most mysterious of bass beasts - Jaco: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfvfXA2SIRU

And, on the subjecct of Mr Pastorious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0NNA6w8Zk4

OK, you got me. I'm going to start the day with Shorter, maybe some Eric Dolphy, and then throw on some King Crimson.

Off to catch Queens of the Stone Age tonight at Fortitude Music Hall, BNE, one of the new band venues in BNW, and it's a good one.
Going to be a corker.

Caught The Beasts on Saturday night at The Triffid, BNE.
They are our definitive 'Australian' hard edged blues-rock band.

It'd been 40 years since the Beasts of Bourbon’s formation, time flys.
I remember catching them the first time at the Prince in St. Kilda in the early 90's, although it could have just as easily been The Espy, but the night / memory is too far back to recall definitively.

Tex Perkins, Boris Sujdovic, Charlie Owen, Kim Salmon, and James Baker.
It was an exceptional gig. They're our Travelling Wilburys. Kim Salmon and Charlie Owen's guitar work is sublime. Boris' bass is bone rattling.

For those of you in Melbourne, treat yourself and get down to see them, you won't be disappointed.

Saturday 20 April: Northcote Theatre, VIC
