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 -

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.

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"​

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 😁

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
