Sky Arts now on, Planes, Trains and Eric. Documentary on Eric Clapton Far East tour in 2014. Great look behind the scenes plus live concert footage, Nathan East on bass and the brilliant Steve Gadd on drums.

Californication by RHCP for fun and no slap required. The toughest bit is over the guitar solo, stretching fingers to their limit.

These work a treat.

Just found this small no frills concert, raw power trio. Joey B knocking it out the park, superb bass played by Eric Czar and drumming by Kenny Kramme.

A bit of Budgie.

Here’s one.

There are special clubs people visit wearing that kind of stuff😀

Surely any venue that is worth its salt and expect bands to do outdoor gigs, should provide weatherproof facilities to accommodate these type of gigs. They do around our way.

Currently enjoying watching Bowie Glass Spider, superb musicians and I was surprised to see Peter Frampton doing lead guitar duties, fantastic player.

Really enjoyed the Paul Rodgers interview, came across as a really decent and unpretentious person.

What you sayin.

A huge amount of bands have just stopped and not doing anything, including mine. F*cking virus.😤

Smith/Kotzen, really liking this collaboration between Adrian Smith and Ritchie Kotzen.

Waiting for the Brian Johnson interview with Paul Rodgers, just checked and it’s on next Friday (12th) night, already set to record in case I forget.

Although not an original band, these ladies can really rock. 👍

Just checked the weight of my Sub by feel against my original MM and the Sub feels just a bit lighter. I purchased the Sub as a back up and was expecting a similar sound to my MM, I surprised that it wasn’t, I use a fair bit of compression on the MM to give me a nice snappy sound, with exactly the same set up with the Sub it sounds horrible, it gives a distorted muffled sound, I had to reset all the EQ on my amp and zero compression to get somewhere near my preferred sound. I would assume the Sub has cheaper electronics/pick up which is giving it a harsher gravely sound.

The Doobies.

My pal has just booked our band for his sons wedding in August 2022 !!

Free - Free Live Paul Rodgers - Live In Glasgow Mountain - The Road Goes Ever On Taste - Live Taste Cream - Live Cream Vol 2 Doobie Brothers - Rockin’ Down The Highway CSNY - 4 Way Street Thunder - Live

Journey’s road crew having a mess around, pretty impressive.

December 2002 Nottingham Arena INXS (with new singer) and Blondie INXS on first, very good. Blondie, appalling, vocals totally flat, walked out after three songs. The only live gig I have ever left early.

Currently on (Saturday 4.00 to 6.15pm) classic artists, Yes. Very interesting documentary.

We currently have “ No Matter What” in our set, great song, really enjoy playing it and doing backing vocals.

Been attempting Tom Sawyer by Rush over the last couple of days, it’s stretching my ability to its limit, especially the section over the synth playing mid song, getting it up to speed and correct phrasing gave me a headache. I’m determined to crack it.
