Astronuc

I'd like that on DVD. That must have been quite a performance. Actually I'd like to be playing the bass and/or guitar.

Dr.Brain

These are some of the songs I 've been listening over and over , n yet not bored , I dont know if they r best songs ever but certainly for me:

Tracy Chapman - Fast Car ( AMazin song)
LinkIN Park - My December (One of the very less famous songs of this commercial band , this song is certainly one of the the most mesmerising for me..)
Wonderwall-Oasis ( this song led to Oasis Vs Beatles comparison ....amazin song//)
Fake Plastic trees - Radiohead ( love the voice)
One Step Behind - LEDZeP

Ivan Seeking

Going waaaaaaay back, here is one that came up over the weekend. Tsu and I both still love this song - Feed the Birds. [the video itself is completely unrelated, but nothing else came up.]

Finally, someone who appreciates Traffic/Winwood. I like his earlier stuff with the Spencer Davis Group and even the (a bit spotty) Blind Faith material.

Astronuc

Thanks for those. They bring back memories.

Traffic (Live) - Glad

Steve Winwood - Can't Find My Way Home (Live)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMArIE938Gw

Decent rendition of Can't Find My Way Home
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmUycnvxnrg

My favorite Stone's tunes are:
Gimme Shelter
You Can't Always Get What You Want
Monkey Man (great piano)

My favorite tune by Robin Trower
Bridge of Sighs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwpbYEfPong
B&W video of live performance, not best quality audio, but it has James Dewar singing. Dewar had an incredible voice and Trower doesn't sound right without his vocals.

My other favorite song by Trower is About to Begin

If you stand in the light, you get the feel of the ride
And the music that plays in your ears
In your head you can hear, a voice so sweet and clear
And the music that plays in your head.
As it flows up from the ground
Taking all who hear that sound
Close your eyes, its about to begin

Hardly daring to breath, a new life you perceive
You try hard not to break the spell
While at once it seems both, so far and yet so close
If you reach out to touch, it will be gone.
As it flows up from the ground
Taking all who hear that sound
Close your eyes, its about to begin (4x)

Then there is Jeff Beck
Cause We've Ended As Lovers from the album Blow by Blow - mournful but beautiful
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsfL6ATX1i4 - Live at Karuizawa, Japan


And let's not forget the Yardbirds -

Speaking of Soul, Astro, James Brown died today. (probably belongs in a different thread)

Astronuc

Yeah - you'll have to start a James Brown thread -

Anyway for a taste of JB - James Brown - I Feel Good (very 60's audience ) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs1HUbMCZKc

Astronuc

Since this has turned out to be a music thread.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2BOApUvFpw - really interesting guitar playing.

Which reminded me of Michael Hedges - Aerial Boundaries
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29CMRsWlDt0

Astronuc

Now if he good only do the vocals.

Kurdt

I know its a bit weird without lyrics and backing but it kind of works somehow. Testament to the depth of Hendrix's songs.

Evo

I was lucky enough to see Jimi Hendrix perform live at the Houston Colosseum.
