What are you listening to now? MKII

I think we can kick this one off with a bit of Ebeneeer Goode. Lavellyyy

 

Lowdown by Boz Scaggs

Shows how the current situation is getting to me. At first, I read the title as 'Lockdown'.
Some great guitar and bass in that song!

Jessie's album 'What's Your Pleasure?' was a stand out for me last year and continues to be so. This performance is stunning.

 

 

 

Shakespeares Sister - Stay

 

Stevie Wonder - Lately

 

Spandau Ballet - Chant No 1 (I don't need this pressure on)

 

The Who - The Seeker

 

Hard to believe that nothing has been posted here for nearly two months!
Something I've been listening to over and over is Led Zeppelin's live performance of Kashmir at the O2 arena in 2012.

I know we've had other versions of Kashmir posted, but to me this is the stand out performance. Probably my favourite Led Zep song (depending on my mood), I'm blown away by this version. The three original band members (Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones) are joined by Jason Bonham on the drums. Jason is the son of the late John Bonham who was Led Zeppelin's drummer. I have to say that Jason absolutely nails this performance. The drumming gets faster and more complex through the performance, but he just gets better and better.

How about some 'feel good' tunes?

Outkast - Hey Ya!

(note, it does have a minute long non musical intro).

Lou Bega - Mambo No 5

I am a keen listener of the classical tradition but I have just obtained a recording of a rare Baroque opera. For those not formally educated in music, Baroque was an early age, usually referring to pre classical and of a period before the French Revolution and of a harmonious simplicity and easy on the ears.
The opera? Julius Caesar by George Frederick Handel, of Messiah fame, not connected to the play by Will Shakespeare.

Mrs F did her degree in music with the Baroque era being quite a considerable part of it. I do quite like pieces here and there but don't even pretend to have anywhere near the knowledge of the subject that she has.

​

B*Witched - C'est la vie

 

Chumbawamba - Tubthumping

 

I'm still not over Euro '96

 

Jean Baptiste Lully is another of the Baroque era that I recently reacquainted myself with, pure magic is his music but a certain understanding of the form is required. Would Lady Finkle be aware?

 

Right Said Fred - Deeply Dippy

Mrs F is currently in Yorkshire but a quick message to her bought these to my attention.
