Try googling "Weekend World". You'll find [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weekend_World"]this[/url]. Last line. Edited October 16, 2008 by obbm Quote
MoonBassAlpha Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 South Bank Show was from the Album Variations by Lloyd-Webber, people like John Hiseman, Gary Moore, Barbara Thompson Julian Lloyd Webber (cello)etc. Can't remember who played bass, possibly Dill Katz??? Weekend World was a track by the band Mountain, dunno what it was called though. Cheers MBA Quote

Kiwi Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 speaking of TV themes, I believe I may have found an example of Abe Laboriel playing on CHiPs at last! A nice fill at 2:00 Cheesy disco! Sounds like he's playing the lines on a Musicman Sabre too because the bass sounds very similar to my Cutlass II. Its not as good as the stuff he did when it was just bass doing the incidental music. I'm still hunting for a season of that stuff on youtube Quote

The band who played it was: Julian Llyod Webber - Cello Colosseum II - Jon Hiseman (Drums), Gary Moore (Guitar) Don Airey (Keys) and the late great John Mole (Bass) - what a fab band they were. plus - Barbra Thompson on Sax and Flutes (Jon Hiseman's wife and fellow band members of Paraphernalia) and Rod Argent (keys) I went to see them perform this at the QE II Hall on the the south band London, when they toured with release of album. Saw another fab bass player there - one Neil Murray, who was Coloseum II's first bass player on their brilliant first album - Strange New Flesh. The Weekend World Theme is by Mountain...and is called Nantucket Sleigh Ride ( all about hunting sperm whales...not very PC these days, but a great song none the less) Alan Freeman used to play it all the time on his Saturday afternoon Rock Show and it's still played on Planet Rock from time to time. There you go, you can breath easy now Two great songs Quote
Bilbo Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Strange New Flesh - great LP - 'Down To You' was a favourite! That was when Gary Moore was sounding great and not generic! Quote

Bass_In_Yer_Face Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Nantucket Sleighride what a song, apparently it's dedicated to some cabinboy who got eaten when marooned in a ship with other sailors or something. I think a Nantucket Sleighride was being dragged behind a whale in a boat after you had harpooned it. It is a very mellow track until the Week-end world bit, then some Wayne's World head banging is in order Quote
