RR many years ago I used to DJ in some local pubs in the Lanarkshire area. In certain Coatbridge pubs I had to make sure that got played every night without fail!!
Total different type of tune, not normally into this type of music until I heard this live played by massed bands at Edinburgh Castle and it still makes the hairs on my neck stand up

or one to sing along to with a beer in hand

Actually written about the decaying industrial landscrape of Salford. The Irish club used to insist on playing that even though it was written by a manc (well a Salfordian) who had a daughter callked Kirsty who also sang with the pogues until she was killed in the most tragic way.

You can't beat Hotel California though...

Ace track!

I think you'll find Ewan MacColl was born in Auchterader (? spelling) in Scotland. He moved to Salford with his parents when his father was looking for work in the early 1930s.
Just thought I'd mention...

>> I think you'll find Ewan MacColl was born in Auchterader (? spelling) in Scotland.
Naaah.
His mother was, but they were living in sweet fragrant Broughton when Ewan was born

"I think you'll find Ewan MacColl was born in Auchterader"
Wrote one of my all-time favourite shanties/ballads - Shoals of Herring. I've loved that tune since I was yey-high.

I'm surprised Radar Love hasn't turned up yet. Oh ! here it is:

Comfortably Numb is another one for driving home to on a Friday night:)
Sorry Bobby, I was training a bunch of drivers on Friday night and they voted to start again at 6am Saturday morning.
I usually love the You Tube music threads when I get up in the early hours.
I can sit and listen to each one going down memory lane, but there wasn't time on Saturday so I saved it for this morning.
Why can I remember every worrd of Where do you go to my Lovely, but can't remember what I did last week?

friday night was indeed music night because it had carol king and james taylor in concert together,thankfully i taped it on my non tape machine and watched it last night
brilliant

>>fan-bleeding-tastic!<<
de aquerdo!
|
...>>fan-bleeding-tastic!<<...
Maybe, but the song needs a new title:
While Somebody Else's Guitar Gently Weeps and I Strum Along Doing Nothing Much.
Anyone know who the soloist is?
YouTube reproduction on my netbook is rubbish, I can only see a shadow.

Friday and Saturday were both music nights for me this weekend, at the Swanage Blues Festival. Highlights were Robert Hokum, Robin Bibi, the Steve Darrington All Stars but they were just the names I remember. Recommended!

Eric Clapton iffy. Albeit a very hairy version..I am told it's a semi-acoustic guitar.
|
|
No but in all probability Eric was..

Thanks.
It figures, they were mates at the time until old Slowhand tapped off with Harrison's girlfriend at the time.
Harrison did a cover of the Everley Brothers song Bye-Bye Love, with this new verse:
There goes my baby
With old Clapper, too
He sure is happy
I sure am blue

I thought the version played at his memorial concert was about the best I heard:

I found the concert extremely moving.
