Brought a tear to me eye...

This 'near brought a tear to my eye' this week seeing Rick Wakeman playing this incredible piano solo live in concert.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05k8DgE ... rt_radio=1 (starts really going nuts from 2:40mins, then more-so from 4:40mins!!) Amazing for a guy in his 70s to still bang this intense complexity and speed out.

And if you wish for creativity how about The Beatles Eleonor Rigby played in the style of Prokofiev? 'No really!!' > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp1nLAI ... XM&index=2 'Rick Wakeman - Eleanor Rigby (Live, 2018) | Live Portraits'

For my ear speed and complexity has rarely added up to a good listen. For example I much prefer the slower melodic sections of Layla and Freebird to the helter-skelter guitar solos. And whilst this Eleanor Rigby piece is impressive I wouldn't listen to it again. I much preferred his piano solo for Life on Mars I found immediately below. That I would listen to again.

Fair enough, but I just saw RickW in concert playing these monsters this week....

Love him or hate him...there is something pure and simple about this. How it used to be in 1964.

58 years ago!!! Goodness knows where the time goes (Sandy Denny didn't know either)

Wow, it's 40 years since The Jam split up. Paul Weller was only 24 at the time.

Time flies, eh?

I was just looking through some early 70s 'Xmas music'. Tiger Feet by Mud, 'Bye-Bye Baby' - Bay City Rollers, etc. Then I replayed this one, after yeeears never hearing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lTwA5xMeTM and you know what I still like it! It hangs together, seems well composed and played, is innovative enough to work across decades etc. Amusing to see guys in eye-shadow and the high/vamp collars - very New York Dolls etc. Somehow this seems more avant-garde than what 'pre-10s' are exposed to these days.

They're on tour though, as 'From the Jam', and we have tickets. PLUS support band the simply amazing Buzzcocks!

[When you're even more looking forward to the support than the main act].

I just came upon this song on Youtube, sung by some Hibs fans and then looked up the original by The Proclaimers.
I'd not heard it before and thought it was well worth a listen. Hopefully someone else will think the same !

Classic!

I had to return the LP twice when it came out as both skipped at the same point in the start - must have been a dodgy pressing

Movie of the musical of the same name is worth a watch

I guess we've all heard Jennifer's 'Power of Love' but I'd not come across this before and think it's a really stunning performance, well worth a listen.

Some remarkable guitar/percussive technique by Sophie Chassee, and Joscho Stephan in an excellent duo... last journey of the wren.

And here, that candidate for world's best dressed guitarist and most contiguous consonants in a name, Peter Autschbach, in duo with Joscho Stephan, playing Autumn Leaves. in what will become a historic period that spawned the online concert to keep music alive.

I'm not religious but have a taste for several hymns, which I guess was instilled when a kid and mum was quite involved and I got taken along.
I've also always been a fan of Steeleye Span since seeing them at the Brighton Dome during the 70s and so coming across the SS CD 'Sing Lustily And With Good Courage' was a bit of a treat.
I doubt anything shows off Maddy Prior's voice better than 'Who Would True Valour See' and there are several others.

This will bring out the daz$le or warts 'n all of your music system. If you have high-end hi-fi this will give it a complete through-the-range work-out, with extra detail. 3D like detail via a 2D set-up, the sound will be coming variosuly from all corners of the room. You get little of that through a computer though you can still get a sense of the dynamic range.
