What music are you listening to ?

me too, pursued all the avenues (I could find) that he took.





Maggie has gone now sadly.

 

That clip, with Bruford maintaining the same rhythm throughout, comes from a complete concert that is just absolutely superb - real top, top quality musicianship from them all. And deffo a fav of mine.

 

I followed his collaborations with Toyah, it’s amazing the advances in cosmetic surgery. Literally nothing moves or bounces……..on her.

 

Bruford just aces it every time , no matter who he is playing with . even going back to Yes , fifty years ago !
He is highly rated of course ...... just not nearly enough , IMO .

Here's this , for a dull a Friday afternoon ....

 

a "where have I been?" moment for me - like it or loathe it, credit where it's due, this tune blew everything out of the water when finally went public approx 2019..

 

never met him but remember seeing his tiny drumming lessons ad on a noticeboard at the old Andertons music site in Guildford and I was tempted for a nanosecond.

 

Yeah he does & Bruford has a lovely casual style when playing. None of this fearsome physical arm & shoulder effort to produce noise like a 5 year old but rather spot on timing and crisp wrist movement. The solo he does in the concert I posted is a case in point and at times it sounds like he is 'playing a tune' on them rather than just a beat.

Well it's a dull rainy Saturday morning and that's a real interesting piece... it's always a surprise how many top quality musicians there are out there that I have never heard of.

 

the best MOR track that you've never heard.

 

I was lucky enough to see them one Christmas as support for Status Quo and very good they were too.

 

Want to hear something weird ?

Weird for Beefheart anyway ..... playing "normal" music !
...... I love his solo playing on the gob-iron


-

He very quickly got that "normal" nonsense out of his system ......

 

Sounds like a top night.... the quo are the same in that they aren't altogether acknowledged by the 'serious musos' & yes, are easy to take the piss out of, but for a good night you don't really need much more.

 

Absolutely. I affectionately refer to Status Quo & Bryan Adams as Ronseal bands; nothing flash, just does what it says on the tin And they both play fair on ticket prices

 

Another classic from the Stax label

 

This now for around a hour or so, yep Sons practicing on his guitar.

 

On holiday in Christchurch I found an old style vinyl shop and stumbled across a couple of Eric Clapton live compilation CD's from 1990/91 from the Royal Albert Hall; one rock, one orchestral. Just heard this for the first time & love it.



Also picked up Peter Frampton Live at the Royal Albert Hall & Fleetwood Mac Rumours Live from the Fabulous Forum, Inglewood. That'll teach her to leave me unsupervised whilst she was checking out the ducking stool.
