Went to the show last night (24th September). No Crosby and Nash this time but all the rest were present and correct.

Extraordinary concert. Gilmour’s guitar playing was at another level. I shall probably […]

Read the title and thought Jimmy Page was at it again. As you were.

They’re fab! That is all.

Available for another 22 hours (and counting) from here ..

Watched about half an hour or so earlier and super stuff it is too. Mr Wilson in unusually […]

Saw this in Facebook. Not good at all. Hope the contrary old beggar makes it. For all his faults he’s a great musician and entertainer.

A favourite in Cozzer Towers .. “Summer Wine”

Have seen them loads of times over the past 30 years but decided to sit this tour out. I’m still of the view that they can deliver in a live setting. However, the band was never quite the same after Mick MacNeil […]

Love both strands to his career. His vocals are a bit ‘reedy’ but I’m a big fan of his compositions and arrangements. Hand.Cannot.Erase getting loads of plays in Cozzerland.

They’re musical Marmite. I don’t get them but have friends who state they are the best band EVER. They also tend to like Carter USM and Half Man Half Biscuit. Again, not my cup of char but infinitely more […]

And massively overdubbed to boot as the bootlegs to the Paris gigs will attest. Compared to the wonderful 5X5 Live which showcases the best of the first five albums and does them justice, LITCOL is bargain bin […]

They are a great live band but the last 3 albums have been a bit pony. I won’t be buying I’m afraid.

True fact: Max Richter was a school chum of mine. Often stayed over his place as was friends with his brother David too. Max introduced me to Pink Floyd and Genesis, although he may be embarrassed to admit it […]

It’s not a light piece of work by any stretch. However, it contains passages of extraordinary beauty and fantastic musicianship .. and the keyboard solo on Regret #9 might give Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman pause […]

Yep, I couldn’t hear an Oasis song either .. hope it’s not an obvious one or am going to feel a little stupid.

Missed it. Did Hooky make an appearance to slag off his former band mates? Must admit I never ‘got’ Joy Division. Love Will Tear Us Apart is a great tune but the rest leaves me rather unmoved. I was more an […]

I enjoy elements of The Steve Howe Album but feel his best work is in a group setting. He is absolutely one of my all-time favourite guitarists but I don’t consider him a songwriter, as unlike other great […]

I prefer Howe’s innovation, his broader palette and his willingness to take risks musically. But I can see why you might think Gilmour superior.
Personally, for me it’s like comparing Ryan Giggs with Jonny […]

Influential? Got to be Floyd .. just remember everyone’s response to their appearance at Live8. Magical.
Always thought Yes were an acquired taste. Thankfully I ‘got’ them and continue to enjoy their 1960s and […]

Clackers (70s kids toy / medieval version of bolas) and Chopper bikes for me.
