Set those VCRs!!

Only one song for today!

Full 11 minute version.

Pop Quiz returned on Sunday night at 7.30 on BBC 4.

Looking at the schedules it seems as it’s going to be regular for the foreseeable future.

Last night’s episode was from 1983 and featured George Michael,Haxel O’Connor with team captain Simon Kirke against Bill Bruford,Buster Bloodvessel with captain by Jools Holland.

An enjoyable 30 mins and some great archive clips.

Just been alerted to this footage of Pink Floyd at the Ivor Wynne Stadium in Canada in 1975.

8mm footage but remastered in 4K apparently. Great sound and pictures for the time.

Enjoy!!

This might interest a few on here.

Not sure if this has been posted but Colosseum are doing a few live shows in the UK in August.

Current line-up features Clem Clempson and Chris Farlowe.

Just finished reading Don Powell’s autobiography and a thought struck. The original members of Slade are all still with us and could reform some 55 years after they first performed together. I know it’s hypothetical as it will never happen but are there any others of that vintage?

Whilst tidying up my cds today I came across the self titled and only lp by German band Nosferatu.

The track “Willie The Fox” was played on Stuart Maconies Freak Zone which made me buy the cd.

Tull style flute,weird mid section what’s not to like! Enjoy!

The new Michael Kiwanuka album is released soon and I don’t know which version to go for. Do I go for a signed vinyl edition for £26 or a non-signed coloured vinyl with extra bonus 7″ single for £30? Both these versions are exclusives to his website. Which should I plump for?

Post Waters from “Momentary Lapse” onwards. 18 discs all yours for £430.

I’ll pass thanks.

Bad News get the deluxe box set treatment.

The “Bootleg” cd looks to be a must as it includes two live shows,one from Hammersmith and their legendary Donington Monsters Of Rock Show from 1986

From a couple of nights ago,Bob does “It’s A Man’s,Man’s,Man’s World”

25 years ago today I went to my first proper 3 day,camping out festival,namely the Phoenix Festival at Long Marston Airfield. There were 8 of us and the first thing that greeted us were closed roads due to “crusties” who refused to pay to get in. “I mean Eavis gives us a field at Glastonbury so why can’t we have one here” an unwashed fuckwit explained to me in an accent that suggested he didn’t come from a council estate. Thankfully, “The Man” refused to let them in and they skulked off,probably back to mater and pater and now presumably running a section in the Home Office. But this didn’t happen until the middle of the night so we had to leave the cars,carry tents and assorted equipment for a couple of miles and pitch up in the dark. It was a cracking weekend and I saw some great acts. Pulp performing to a half full tent on Friday afternoon. Sonic Youth with a barnstorming friday main stage headline slot. Gil Scott Heron on the Jazz stage Saturday and comedy slots,the best of which was Woody Bop Muddy and his Record Graveyard. All this for £49!!! I went for the » Continue Reading.

Yesterday, July 6th, was the first time I saw The Rolling Stones live.

Wembley Stadium 1990

I then saw them at Hyde Park, 2013, and it was also July 6th

Have you seen any groups on exactly the same day?

Here’s something to brighten up a rainy bank holiday Monday.

Brian Johnson sitting in with Mick Fleetwood’s band and performing “Route 66”

Which singles have you bought for the a-side,but when you played it, you liked the b-side even more? Mine is XTC and”Sgt. Rock”. Great single,but I became obsessed by the b-side,a live medley of “Living Through Another Cuba/Generals And Majors”,neither of which I’d heard up to that point. * This isn’t a thread to say which tunes you think should’ve been the a-side,just one to where you genuinely preferred the flip side.

*This performance is not the version on the single but it’s the only one I could find to post

Maybe of interest to a few on here

…that CSNY came to play.

14th September 1974,CSNY played Wembley Stadium to bring their world tour to a close.

Supporting acts included Joni Mitchell and The Band.

Their full set was pro-shot and is available on dvd of you know where to look.

Did any Afterworders attend this event?

Having just listened to the “Old Gods Almost Dead” podcast (great ‘cast chaps!) the panel made a salient point. Which act did you have a chance to go and see but declined on the grounds that “I’ll see ’em next time they tour” DFB and DoctorJ both missed seeing Bill Hicks My one is Nirvana 1991 at Nottingham Rock City. The gig was on the Monday after the famous TOTP performance of “Smells Like Teen Spirit” There was a bus trip going from Scunthorpe but my mate wasn’t too arsed and I didn’t fancy going on my own so gave it a miss. The cost, by the way, was £12 for return coach trip and gig. Still we managed to get tickets for their Aston Villa leisure centre in 1994……. So who have you missed out on as you thought they’d go on forever?
