What are you listening to now? MKII

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

 

Evanescence - Bring Me To Life

 

Meatloaf - Modern Girl

 

Dead Ringer For Love

 

Scorpions - Still Loving You

A German Rock band, who I feel never get the recognition that they truly deserve (at least in the UK).
I love the part at 2mins 10 seconds, when Klaus Meine gets the audience to sing along. I've been at concerts where that happened and have to say that the adrenalin rush is intoxicating.

Such a beautiful sound from Billy Duffy's guitar and the drumming from Matt Sorum is as tight as you will get. Fabulous song

The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary

 

Royal Marines Corps of Drums and Top Secret Drum Corps (Who I believe are Swiss)

I found this, from watching an American YouTuber's (ItsJps) reaction video -

It's amazing!!! I hope the guys had an official meal laid on for them afterwards, or at least got to have a few beers together.

Rush - Tom Sawyer

A funny introduction from 'South Park' and there are also some shots of Geddy Lee's keyboard showing a small representation of Stone Henge. Is this a reference to the wonderfully funny rockumentary 'This is Spinal Tap', where the band want a model of Stone Henge, only to find it in miniature when they get on stage?

I might be a bit of a cultural philistine but I was bitterly disappointed when I saw Stonehenge for real. Was expecting it to be much bigger than it really is.

I think a lot of people share that opinion.

 

I'm not familiar with that piece of music by Level 42, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The 'slap bass' playing by Mark King is fantastic. I don't know why, but the 'fun' posts on F4A seem to have dwindled during the pandemic. Fridays and Saturdays used to be great fun.

Rush - YYZ

Sticking with 'airport' themed music, here is Rush -YYZ

Yes, 'YYZ' refers to Toronto Pearson airport. The band originates from Toronto and I guess this was how they wanted to honour their home city. Like Mark King of Level 42, Geddy Lee of Rush is an exceptional bass guitarist. YYZ is an instrumental.

Hadn't seen them for over 30 years until a few weeks ago at Symphony Hall. Still as good as last time

Sadly, I've never sees Level 42 in concert. I would love to even if just to see and hear Mark King's bass playing.

Bette Midler - The Rose

Something a little different from my perspective, but I love the melody and lyrics to this song. Beautiful!

AC/DC -For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)

As can be see from the footage, hardy anyone turned up.

Pink Floyd - Hey Hey Rise Up (feat. Andriy Khlyvnyuk of Boombox)

And the story behind it...

Pink Floyd reunite for Ukraine protest song

The band's first new material in 28 years was inspired by David Gilmour's "anger" over the war.

www.bbc.co.uk

Whilst I don't understand the lyrics, my thoughts and prayers go out to the Ukrainian people who are suffering so terribly in this totally unjust war

Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way

From what I consider to be one of the best albums ever made - Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
I saw them at the NEC on their 'Tango In The Night' tour and they were sensationally good.
