Fairport Convention Original Line Up (1968)

The original line-up, Fairport Convention met Richard Thompson(Gitaar)Simon Nicol(Gitaar)Ashly Hutchings(Bass)Judy Dyble(Zang)Iain Matthews(zang)Martin Lamble (Drums)


Reno Nevada
 
Ian Matthews and Judy Dyble provided the excellent vocals, while Richard Thompson was already a very inventive guitarist (see video). The music was very much based on the music of American bands such as The Byrds and The Mama,s & Papa, s. It was very special that they had music by the then completely unknown Joni Mitchell and the very underestimated singer / songwriter Emilh Rhodes in the repertoire.
In deze bezetting werd hun eerste album ,,Fairport Convention,, opgenomen.
Ian Matthews en Judy Dyble zorgden voor de uitstekende vocalen terwijl Richard Thompson ook toen al een zeer inventieve gitarist was(zie filmpje).De muziek was erg gebaseerd op o.a de muziek van amerikaanse bands als o.a The Byrds en The Mama,s & Papa,s.
Heel bijzonder was dat ze muziek van de toen nog totaal onbekende Joni Mitchell en de zeer onderschatte singer /songwriter Emith Rhodes op het repetoire hadden staan.


Morning Glory
 Beautiful song by Tim Buckly, beautifully sung by Iain Matthews. The recordings are from the French TV program Bouton Rouge (1968).

 
After the release of the first album, Judy Dyble left the band and was replaced by the legendary Sandy Denny.

The Rolling Stones - Midnight Rambler (Marquee Club Live, 1971).

"Midnight Rambler" is a song by the English rock band The Rolling Stones, released on their 1969 album Let It Bleed. The song is a loose biography of Albert DeSalvo, who confessed to being the Boston Strangler.
Keith Richards has called the number "a blues opera" and the quintessential Jagger-Richards song, stating in the 2012 documentary Crossfire Hurricane that "nobody else could have written that song."
                                                             

On the composing of the song, Mick Jagger said in a 1995 interview with Rolling Stone, "That's a song Keith and I really wrote together. We were on a holiday in Italy. In this very beautiful hill town, Positano, for a few nights. Why we should write such a dark song in this beautiful, sunny place, I really don't know. We wrote everything there -- the tempo changes, everything. And I'm playing the harmonica in these little cafes, and there's Keith with the guitar."When asked about the song in a 1971 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Richards said: "Usually when you write, you just kick Mick off on something and let him fly on it, just let it roll out and listen to it and start to pick up on certain words that are coming through, and it's built up on that. A lot of people still complain they can't hear the voice properly. If the words come through it's fine, if they don't, that's all right too, because anyway that can mean a thousand different things to anybody."

Issued in November 1967, the landmark LP found Cream flipping the switch toward full-on psychedelia while remaining true to the blues roots of their 1966 debut.

David Rawlings & Gillian Welch - Pocahontas (Neil Young)


Gillian Howard Welch (born October 2, 1967 in New York City) is an American singer-songwriter.
David Todd Rawlings is a professional guitarist and harmony singer.
Tegenwoordig treed het duo samen met enkele leden van o.a The Old Crow Medicine Show op onder de naam The Dave Rawlings Machine


Pocahontas (Neil Young)
Na een lang intro eeen mooie meeslepende uitvoering van deze Neil Young klassieker.

Aurora borealis
The icy sky at night
Paddles cut the water
In a long and hurried flight
From the white man to the fields of green
And the homeland we’ve never seen.

They killed us in our tepee
And they cut our women down
They might have left some babies
Cryin’ on the ground
But the firesticks and the wagons come
And the night falls on the setting sun.

They massacred the buffalo
Kitty corner from the bank
The taxis run across my feet
And my eyes have turned to blanks
In my little box at the top of the stairs
With my indian rug and a pipe to share.

I wish a was a trapper
I would give thousand pelts
To sleep with pocahontas
And find out how she felt
In the mornin’ on the fields of green
In the homeland we’ve never seen.

And maybe marlon brando
Will be there by the fire
We’ll sit and talk of hollywood
And the good things there for hire
And the astrodome and the first tepee
Marlon brando, pocahontas and me
Marlon brando, pocahontas and me
Pocahontas.

Eric Burdon & The Animals - When I Was Young (1967)

Their first release was the single "When I Was Young", which did well in the US and made it to #15. The band then got the chance to play at the Monterey Pop Festival. Their first album together came out later that year. Winds Of Change was definitely a very strange record, the sort of thing that would (and did) divide fans of the original group. With unusually sparse instrumental arrangements, atmospheric sound effects and just as much spoken word as singing, it was a clear statement of Burdon's new direction and dedication to the hippie counter-culture.


 Eric Burdon - vocals ,Vic Briggs - guitar ,piano,John Weider - guitar,violin. Danny McCulloch - bass,Barry Jenkins - drums.
