Blasts From The Past - 50S,60S And 70S Music

[Tippaporn]

Sweet, laid back blues from Kossoff, also from '73.  Each note lingers lovingly.

Hard to stop.  Live at Croydon Fairfield Halls 15-6-75.

Going back to Paul Kossoff. Here's an interesting story of his life. It seems Mandrax and other downers like Mogadon played the major part in his downfall. I never could see the attraction of sedatives as recreational drugs. Ugh!

Agreed.  I had known a lot of people who were into downers back then.  Couldn't figure it out myself.  To each their own.

Still, the achievements of the artist rise above his or her own personal weaknesses.

Nice in-depth article.  No one can take away what Kossoff has achieved.

Recorded shortly after Free's final demise in '75.  Andy Fraser composition and on bass and Kossoff on guitar.  This appeared on Frankie Miller's 1975 release, The Rock.

Now Kossoff's guitar is subdued on the above version.  This is the version which appeared on Kossoff's posthumous compilation Blue Soul in '86.  Kossoff's guitar is much more prominent.  Could listen to this all day.

As Paul Kossoff was heading towards self destruction, Paul Rodgers, Simon Kirke and Mick Ralphs were heading for superstardom and riches back in 74.

Paul Rodgers has just gone from strength to strength over the years. Simon Kirke  pulled himself through alcoholism whilst Mick Ralphs had a stroke back in November 2016 and is not expected to play again.

Saturday morning with The Stones. 

 

[bannork]

Rock n' roll. A daily fix required for addicts like myself. Should keep me going for a few hours before I'll need another hit.

Here are a few oddities that should at least put a smile on some faces.  Bonzo Dog Band's 1968 classic Canyon's Of Your Mind.  LOL

 

 

And another Vivian Stanshall project, Big Grunt, with their 11 Mustachioed Daughters, a number taken from Bonzo's 2nd LP.  Enjoy!!

 

 

 

And to go along with the above vids here's a test question: what does "the doughnut in granny's greenhouse" refer to?  Anyone?  55555555

Geezus, too funny.  Beautiful People.  Love it!!

A wonderful, sultry version of T-Bone Walker's Stormy Monday by ? and the Mysterians in '66.

Ten Years After on Spoonful recorded at Fillmore East in '70.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

The Byrd's Chimes Of Freedom from '65.  Seems not much has changed since The Great Protest era.  The world turns ever so slowly.

 

 

[Tippaporn]

Bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs teams up with the Byrds for You Ain't Going Nowhere in '71.  Scruggs on banjo definitely adds a wonderful dimension to an already fine tune.

 

 

 

Just an interesting bit of trivia for those who might not know . . . Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs were the guys who did the Beverly Hillbilly's theme song, The Ballad of Jed Clampett, back in '62.

 

 

And an appearance on the show . . .

I saw Roger Ruskin Spear in Hull Arts Centre in 72. He had an electric stripper literally. Sadly, once her clothes fell to the floor there was nothing left but an flashing mannequin.

Stanshall's Rawlinson's End was hilarious. Superb writing. Best listened to with plenty of time to spare.
