Vespa Red Posted June 23, 2023 Report Share Posted June 23, 2023 I've discovered the Kinks very late 60s early 70s catalogue recently. This is a standout... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 I thought I had posted this here before, but it must have been in a different thread. I have found myself playing this a lot lately, just something about the driving beat that makes it sound fresh even today. I wonder if it's ever been sampled? I think it should be. It appears you have to click on the "Watch on YouTube" link to play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) How old is old. Do like some Oasis and their earlier stuff the mid 1990s. Muse are still going albeit have been for a while. Twenty One Pilots came across the other day, alright range of songs. Been going a while but not really heard of them before. They formed in 2009 and amended form in 2011 the last one. Edited July 6, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember either, to be honest. Although it was a long time ago! I think I saw Suzy Quatro play there around about the same time, supporting Slade (along with Thin Lizzy). Did you go to that one too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them at the Hippodrome in 79/80 on the "Crazy Tour", so called because of the crazy tiny venues they played apparently. I went with a friend who was mad on them, although I had moved on from their music by then. It was a great show though of course, they always used to go on about how Freddy was in his element in front 100k+ crowds, but to me he seemed to love being so close to the audience.

I did go, and I remember thinking later how strange it was that a group like Thin Lizzy would be supporting a group like Slade, quite different genres of music. I mentioned this many years later to Phil Lynott, when I met him at a village fête, and he suggested they were just glad to get the exposure - of course, they weren’t as big then.

I still reckon that evening, and another one with J Geils Band, probably explains more than anything else the current state of my hearing! What with the Colston Hall and Ashton Gate it sounds like you and I were living parallel lives at the time! Some great gigs at the Colston Hall in those days though - the best of all being Bowie on the Ziggy Stardust tour. I spent the whole night on the pavement outside the Colston Hall to get tickets for that one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
