  1. That’s a very distinctive looking bass and should be relatively easy to identify it if it ever appears again. Hope he gets it back ok.
  2. This is simply a completely different league. Superb vocals, band, mix and set list.
  3. Can I just put things in to perspective a little. Some of these artists were at the top of their game 40/50 plus years ago. Around that time I could change the clutch on an MGB in four hours allowing time for a chat with work colleagues, bacon sandwich break and a ten minute scive. These days I couldn’t even attempt it.
  4. Apparently a farmer actually grew the potatoes in the ground on his farm.
  5. Don’t really know too much about the Arctic Monkeys but thought they were quite unusual and musically very interesting however I’m not sure the set was right for the occasion. Far too much faffing about (in my opinion) between songs and were their too many new and slow ones for a festival ?
  6. Just having a little trip down memory lane with Sparks. Still as mad as a box of frogs. Voice is holding out though.
  7. Stumbled on it by accident last night on YouTube and watched the lot. Great concert and such a shame it wasn’t on mainstream tv and seen by more. Very surprised when they announced Paul McCartney but sadly I have to say the song choices could have been better (others may have a different opinion) Brilliant to see Alex and Geddy back on stage together. Thought Alex had a couple of wobbles but Geddys voice and playing were top notch. Highly recommended viewing.
  8. Well Mr McCartney there were a few early strange song choices and the sound wasn’t always brilliant but what a great headlining performance and the cameos from Dave Grohl and Bruce Springsteen were pure genius as was Live And Let Die. 80 years old !! Bloody amazing performance and worth waiting three years for 👏👏👏
  9. Certainly agree with that BUT at the moment I’m a little underwhelmed with the set list.
  10. Bass sounds good on our Bose system connected to the telly but to be fair I think it’s set a little higher than standard as films etc have always got plenty of bass in them. Can’t watch TV without an enhanced sound system now.
  11. I remember my first audition. I set up and before I played a note I explained I was not hugely experienced and certainly not a flamboyant slap bass style of player but would always be on time, willing and ready to rehearse and would ensure I have learnt my parts since the last rehearsal. Apparently the drummer and sax player who were in the next room told me a month later at my first gig that on hearing this they had decided that they wanted me in the band before they had heard me play a note. Sometimes it pays to be humble and reliable. Was a great band and I had some fabulous times with them.
  12. So so sad to hear about this. We all know the music but like others have mentioned to know the man you need to read the books. Start with Ghost Rider and then everything else falls in to place much more easily.
  13. Great band. I highly recommend you read Ian Hunters "Diary of a Rock and Roll Star" written in the early seventies. Great insight and you get to hear the true story about his Maltese Cross guitar purchase.
