What are you listening to now? MKII

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

 

The Adventures - Broken Land

I saw this band many years ago, at the Birmingham NEC. If my memory serves me correctly, they were the support act for Fleetwood Mac's 'Tango in the Night' tour.

Or, if you prefer a slower live version -

The Adventures - Drowning in the Sea of Love

Kevin

 

Hazel O'Connor - Will You?

or alternatively, a live version -

Is it Pop, Rock, Punk, Jazz? I don't care, I think it's brilliant and totally underrated. That Saxophone is incredible.

Rush - Resist

Something a little different from the normally 'Hard Rock' Canadian band. This is an acoustic piece.

Beautiful

Kevin

 

Mike + The Mechanics - All I Need Is A Miracle​

 

Not heard this in a long time

Iggy Pop - Real Wild Child (Wild One)​

 

Led Zeppelin - Tangerine

Kevin

 

Jeff Lynne's ELO - 10538 Overture​

 

I've always loved anything by ELO. The first album that I bought was ELO Discovery, when I was about 12. I also like other work that Jeff Lynne has been part of such as The Traveling Wilburys, which featured such giants as Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, George Harrison and of course, Jeff Lynne.

ELO - Confusion

Funny, Ray. But after posting the Led Zeppelin - tangerine link, the next band I was thinking of was ELO. You beat me to it!

Great song, amazing line up, Lynne and Petty as solid as ever on vocals and that guitar solo from Prince

Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and others -- "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"​

 

Sadly, we've lost some of those exceptional musicians/singers

Heaven must be 'Rockin''

Carly Simon - Nobody Does It Better​

 

Carly Simon - Nobody Does It Better​

Sadly, your link is 'disabled by the video owner'. Cracking song though! I had a similar thing a week or so back when I tried to post RUSH - La Villa Strangiato. So I deleted my post.

I've tried about 7 or 8 different videos to get one that works.

Is it working now?

Prince is often thought of as a 'Pop' artist and many of his songs would seem fall into that category. But, he was so much more. His song writing skills were exceptional and when it comes to guitar playing, he was up there with the best (Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix to name but three).

Led Zeppelin - The Battle Of Evermore

I don't know why, but I've had this song going around in my head for the past few days - I'm not complaining. In this original version, Jimmy Page plays the Mandolin, while guest folk singer Sandy Denny (who was in Fairport Convention) joins Robert plant on vocals. Sadly, Sandy Denny died at the far too young an age of 31 back in1978.

A later version was performed live by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, featuring Najma Akhtar on guest vocals. The unusual string instrument operated by turning a handle is a Hurdy-Gurdy.

"Birmingham's own Prince of Darkness. It's Ozzy, it could only be Ozzy"

"When Birmingham's time came, they did it right"

"It's been a Brum 'Ting"

"Birmingham....... take a bow"

 

Good old Ozzy! I suppose he could be best described as a 'lovable rascal', but definitely an ambassador for Birmingham.
He has had his moments throughout his career. I remember one story (I think it was on a chat show), where his wife Sharon was explaining that they were staying in a hotel somewhere if the US. In order to try to stop Ozzy going down to the bar, Sharon had hidden all of his clothes. What did Ozzy do? He put on one of Sharon's dresses and went down to the bar. Only Ozzy!!!

If you ever read Motley Crue: The Dirt it gives you the full story. It's definitely not one to be posted on here
