So, what have you been listening to lately?

Never heard or seen this version, different drummer - Jimmie who?! - and George singing second lead in the second verse. Lennon's triplets are incredibly precise, he's almost like a mandolin player.

That's an interesting version.  They have the substitute drummer that was with them for 13 days.  George's contribution to the vocals is unexpected.  Many people who listen closely notice what John is doing on rhythm.  It does stand out.

They were a great live band. That first album was pretty much live off the floor.
And that would change ...

Good one. Lots of good music on that guys channel. I found Uwe's favorite on there.

Jimmy Nicol. A name everybody in The Netherlands remembers because to the disappointment of all the Beatles-fans Ringo had to bow out for this short European tour ;-)

And the Australian tour immediately after.

Oh, so you know music before the release of  Thin Lizzy's Live & Dangerous and Mother's Finest - Live too, who'd have thought ...



Nicol plays more forcefully than Ringo - and that's not putting Ringo down, because what he might have lacked in chops or dominating drum presence, he more than made up with creativity. I'm a fan.

Oh my, that's lovely, danke! If the Purple guys had been aware of it, I'm sure they would have covered it like on their last album "Turning To Crime".

Blackmore was in awe of Nashville guitarists, he once said they can play circles around most rock guys technically.



And Steve Morse of course worships at the altar of Albert Lee (whom Blackmore also rates as a guitarist).

He's a personal friend. Lives in Stockholm, used to visit the US on vacation every year, until he retired several years ago.

He had over 10,000 45s when I met him back in the '00s, but he's made some big purchases since. One of them alone was well over 10,000.

Terrible, these hoarders and completists.

[uwe]

Pure bliss. That was the tour when I first saw them (in '88 at The Ritz in NYC): The 'Unter & the Mighty Ronno!

[OldManC]

If you get asked to sing on Frank Zappa, Marc Bolan and Bruce Springsteen records, you must be doing something right.

And open for KISS. I wasn't there, but my brother in law was. He said they were great, but almost more of a comedy act.

Not a new song, damn video - I've been this person.
