Stevie Ray Vaughan & Johnny Copeland - Tin Pan Alley (Montreux 1985)
Stevie Ray Vaughan (Dallas (Texas), 3 oktober 1954 – Chicago (Illinois), 27 augustus 1990)
Van Eelco Gelling tot Jan Akkerman,van Jimmy Page tot Eric Clapton,van Carlos Santana tot Jeff Beck ,van Pete Towsent tot Joe Bonamassa en vele,vele andere topgitaristen ik heb ze allemaal ,,live,, in aktie gezien en vond het allemaal even mooi.
Ik heb er echter een gemist ,en mischien wel de allerbeste in zijn genre,
Stevie Ray Vaughan.Ik weet eigenlijk niet of hij ooit in Nederland heeft opgetreden.
Gelukkig is er prachtig DVD materiaal van deze gigant in omloop en zijn registratie van zijn optreden in Montreux die ik sinds kort in mijn bezit heb behoort nu al tot een van mijn favoriete concert DVD,s .Hieronder een fragment met als gast Johnny Copeland.

Govt,Mule & Hook Herrera -Working Class Hero (Lennon)
"Working Class Hero" is een nummer van John Lennon. Hij gebruikte het nummer voor zijn album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band uit 1970.
Bij het uitbrengen van het nummer had de platenmaatschappij twijfels rond de tekst:
As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.
