@Shay - Those are wonderful "bass" vid's, I've seen Chris Squire and Getty Lee live, would not mind seeing Tal someday live, she's amazing. 

 

As for Peter Frampton's epic "high powered talk box" solo in "do you feel like we do", Bob Heil (ham radio guy) developed that version with Joe Walsh, who in turn passed it on to Peter. The melodic guitar run in that recording that occurs about 10:50 - 10:58 using it is simply EPIC. 

 

Thinking of Peter this morning and of course Steve Marriott in this, another epic Peter solo....

[Heather Shay]

Absolutely ALWAYS loved Stone Cold Fever and Steve Marriott and Humble Pie..... 30 Days in the hole and I don't need no doctor among my faves but SCF is my all time fave from HP

[Charlize]

I was just listening to 
"Come on home" by John Prine and watched a video of Steven Colbert and him singing "The way the world goes round". Just tears of beauty........The E kicked right in.

 

Hugs,

An understandable emotion after listening to that song Charlize. That song sure grabs your heartstrings!

[Charlize]

I had not realized he had died of Covid in April of this year until a friend posted the tribute from Colbert on Facebook.  The duet they sang became so poignant knowing he had passed.  

 

Hugs,

Steve Marriott, what a voice!  

[Heather Shay]

ok - let's hear some more.....................

 

 

[Heather Shay]

Today the band will be working up:

 

 

[Heather Shay]

Here is a suggestion for our Rolling Stones sets - our lead player says it's in open D......

 

 

[Cyndee]

That's a great album, one of their best I think....

[Heather Shay]

She are doing - Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Monkey Man and maybe...You Got the Silver and maybe Let It Bleed. pretty much the bulk of that album.

[Heather Shay]

Wow - Freudian Slip (wonder if he'd look good in a slip) - I thought I wrote "We are doing" and it came of "She is doing".

[Heather Shay]

My first band did this song and Rory Gallagher was my all time favorite act LIVE - he was amazing in concert............

 

 

[Heather Shay]

Rory is so energetic - I went to Ireland (pronounce R-land) and stayed near his home town of Cork and didn't know about the tribute his town gave him and I could kick myself now - if I ever get back I'm going - there is an annual Rory Gallagher Festival. He opened doors for Thin Lizzy and U2.

[Jani]

Nice tune!!  I have always enjoyed this one written by Hoyt Axton.

I recall reading an interview with John Kay years ago.  He was living quietly with his wife in the hills of Tennessee.
