FAST

Once dubbed the fastest guitarist in the west and another Grumpy Gonner. Alvin Lee (died 2013) with Ten Years After showing an astonishing burst of speed to end his Woodstock performance.

Great bass too from a real power band.

SLOW.

Another one from Third Eye Blind; great lyrics

SAD; not a bad line up this:)

The mighty Quo were indeed magic that afternoon, really looked like they enjoyed themselves; marvellous stuff.

STILL I'm Sad

A Yardbirds original. Quite an odd mix, almost a Gregorian chant.

Many different versions. I remember Boney M being drafted in as a late replacement at a folk festival after one of the members of the headline band had a family bereavement. And they astonished all the doubters by being very good.

RAINING; this guy was simply outstanding at Glastonbury last year

I saw Bonny M a few years ago at a local festival weekend; fantastic

I Can't STAND The Rain

Sorry it's Tina (again) but she has to be one of the best live performers of all time. She could generate more energy sitting down than most people leaping about.

Jonny Lang passed me by completely. But that's the problem with Glasto. For every band you see there's 20 you miss. One to look out for.

Still touring - not a Grumpy Gonner

Carpet

Duke Ellington, live sound, no moving pics unfortunately, but hey it is 1959.

Something live and moving for the traditionalists here.

[grumpyhack]

MAGIC Carpet Ride.

I saw Steppenwolf at one of the first festivals I attended - Shepton Mallett in 1969 which mutated into the first Glasto in 1970.

This is the song they were best known for after being used in the film Easy Rider. All the Hells Angels at the fest were dancing around like little kids with excitement when they played it.

Do you BELIEVE in Magic?

FAITH

[grumpyhack]

BLIND Faith

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTJYkjrg594

Back to my youth. A 'supergroup' of supergroups - Cream (Clapton, & Baker) plus Steve Winwood from Traffic.

Blind to BOYS, still with a faithful theme too.

Five Blind Boys From Alabama - Way Down In the Hole:

I missed Jonny Lang too, sounds good :-)

Female always liked this tune.

MEN At Work

An Australian band who enjoyed a short success in the UK but were very good. It's hard breaking into the European scene if you are from Down Under.

CAVE

[grumpyhack]

CAVERN

A bit of history. This was filmed in 1962

[oneeye]

From around the same era, a classic; couldn't find a live performance though.

HOLE

WORLD

Mahalia Jackson, The Queen of Gospel and sadly another Grumpy Gonner.

Music

I'd like to go see this live. Guess it's not to everybodys taste but ground breaking in it's time supposedly. "Reich mentions that although the piece is named Music for 18 Musicians, it is not necessarily advisable to perform the piece with that few players due to the extensive doubling it requires"

The album that caught my ear was different Trains.

1st part only

Love would be a too frequently used connection word so let's go for MILES

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egwARrX1ik8

[whisty]

Was going to go for See for Miles by you know Who & mention that I'm not really a fan, then played about 10 tracks from the UTube thinking I really like that one. Anyway I used to take great delight in playing this to my kids, who whilst not really kids anymore still scream the house down when one appears, oh my what did I do! So pick See or Spider .
