Classic Rock clip of the day

big b

For reasons I won't bore you with here, this song came into my mind the other day.
Was very and pleasantly surprised to find it on Youtube!

Seems as good a subject as any for my post #666 :eek:

Mike might appreciate the musical style more than most, being a Tull fan!

Aligator Farmer

Cheers! That was an interesting experience for a monday morning.
Never heard of the band, sounds like Tull with that guy from Family on vocals.

Karl Hungus

Dunno why I've not listened to these guys before.

Cool retro piece Mr big b

That Black Widow clip was really excellent, Robin Trower isn't working though. Here's Propositions by Curved Air from the Album 'Air Conditioning'

Was listening to this in th car 10 minutes ago, and it's nice to share, so here's Gong with Radio Gnome Invisible

damonjewel

aah gong cest magnifique, banana, nirvana, manana

some wishbone ash perhaps

big b

Nice bit of Ash there, Damon!
Was watching a DVD of a '76 gig recently, I've always been a big Ash fan.

Trivia for the day,........
Ash were headlining a 2 day festival in Scotland, in.......Loch Lomond Bear Park:eek: (sadly now defunct!).
They had a big hot air balloon that they were going to fire lights & lasers off at the climax of their set.
Unfortunately,it was windier than expected and as the band played, all eyes were looking up, watching the balloon head towards Glasgow

Anyway, here's todays classic clip: Rock Candy, a much-covered song by Montrose

fair shout Mike! Had a feeling you'd know the band.

And my favourite track off the album is Diary of a Working Man.

but Good Morning was a decent enough way to start the day

Reckon it's just one of those songs that became a victim of its' own success, Damon. Radio killed the 70's star!

There's probably a good thread to be had about songs that suffered the same fate!

Replace the 0's with o's for my example here, m'man.

Basically instead of putting the whole url of the youtube page in, just put the end of it, the bit with the mixed numbers and letters.

Thanks for posting that one, Rockee!

Easiest way to embed is to copy the part of the youtube URL after the = sign, and paste it into the space between the youtube tags here.

Now find us another good clip & practise embedding it!

big b

a bit of classic Jock rock for you today.........

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band with Faith Healer

First time I saw these guys was when they were one of the support acts for The Who on their Who Put The Boot In football stadium tour a long, long time ago. Caught them a few times after that & they were always excellent live.

mike65

Just in time to be the clip of today

Woo! I can embed now. Thanks for the help lads!

The main riff that takes up the first minute or so of this song is an absolutely crackin classic rock riff. Its just a shame that the rest of the track gets lost somewhat.

adox

Most Germans seem to hate them but I still ****ing love them to this day.:D

Rockee

Perfection.

No need to feel bad, Mike! Bit easier on the ear than Motorhead first thing in the morning!

Talking of Motorhead.............

Still all mellow (it'll pass). The great, not to mention annoyingly multi-talented Todd Rundgren (FF to about 1.20)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-28Gg9I2dJk

Rockee

This could be borderline Classic Rock/fusion but here you go folks. 'Birdland' by Weather Report. Fantastic piece of music!

Todd's a talented lad alright. Only saw him play live once - he was one of the support acts when Led Zep played Knebworth all those years ago.

Another support act was The New Barbarians, namely Keith Richards & Ronnie Wood. Here they are covering Chuck Berry's "worried life blues"
