yeah '      AC/DC  were great on stage .. 

It was mentioned on Twitter that he is dead but no luckily he is still alive.

 

I started a joke .......         and I 'll finish it after another bottle  !!

 

There will never be another Bee Gees ....     imo  ....      absolutely fantastic to listen too anytime ...  party,  alone,  dinner .....     anytime 

 

 

The thread's got polluted already, but I do miss Tina Turner a lot. The 2021 documentary TINA is well worth watching.

You will need more than a beer 👍

1974 was in Las Vegas, nice one too.. But the sound was perfect in Australia.

Yes indeed - back then there were a lot morte entertainers and/or musicians about. 

And then along came the 80s - Madonna - Hip Hop - Boy Bands ..............  all mostly downhill since then.

Best version of that song:

 

 

Best singing, all the right touches, really into it. Best arrangement as Earl Slick's guitar gives him such a strong backing.

 

Barry White and Paverotti were absolutely fanstastic .....

 

Your my first, my last, my everything ......

 

This is real music and real talent without all the electronic voice enhancers ....         this is the best ....    just have bass and this will blow you away.

Famous story how his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, was an illegal alien who couldn't get a passport and didn't want Elvis touring without him. So not only Australia. He kept arranging well paid long term gigs in Las Vegas etc and the world could come to him.

I think I read somewhere that his manager couldnt travel as he had no passport. Wasnt he Dutch?? I believe he was scared he wouldnt be allowed back into the US. I think Elvis only ever travelled to germany for military service and the occassional hop over to Hawaii. strange, seeing as he was the biggest star in the world.

Even Sting knew he was in the presence of greatness!

aha ...   it's a real travesty ....   he was only 42 .....     Melbourne would have gone crazy if he had come ...

Call it Hendrix to U2, 15 mind-blowing years, the likes of which will never be seen again.

 

I like to read books about acts I have no interest in. Phil Collins autobiography was great. So I  bought this very serious book about Steely Dan, of whom I have never given a passing thought.

As everybody here knows.
