Snatch It Back and Hold It (Junior Wells)
Heavy Load Blues is branded as Gov’t Mule’s first-ever “blues” album, with Friday’s Junior Wells cover supporting that branding. The album’s lead single, the Warren Haynes-penned “Heavy Load“,
went heavier on the traditional blues angle with a stripped-down
acoustic approach. On “Snatch It Back And Hold It”, however, Mule plugs
in and cranks it up for a more modern blues tribute.

Baby Lemonade had been performing as LOVE since 1993, once playing in a
club where only three people, with one being the sound guy, showed up,
so playing in the Glastonbury Festival was a very big deal...and Arthur
knew it. '
Alone Again 0r
As mercurial as Arthur Lee could be, he showed no concern in
playing before 65,000-and-growing Glastonbury concert-goers, who all
came to see if Arthur Lee & Love could pull off Forever Changes in a
festival setting.
A House Is Not A Motel
The talent and abilities of each musician on that
stage was unparalleled and Rusty, Love's musical director was the link
between the amazing ensemble of Swedish string and horn players and this
loud, kick ass, take-no-prisoners rock-and-roll outfit.
And More Again
The blend was
perfect. It was Mozart meets Thin Lizzy. After a really cool
introduction, and with the sun squarely in their eyes, they hit the
stage and rocked the crowd with ''Your Mind & We Belong Together.''
Somewhere in the middle of a guitar solo, one of the speakers blew,
creating a noticeable drop in volume and tone. Guitarist Mike Randle
simply asked the monitor dude to ''Crank the guitar in my monitor!'' and
kept going.
The band tore into that first A minor chord, echo
fuzz bass, tremolo reverb, and machine gun snare like it was the end of
the world. Arthur stepped to the microphone and spat out the words like
it was the end of the world. Love came to Glastonbury with the hopes of
just playing well and having a good time, but they left with so much
more than that.
The Daily Planet
Arthur introduced the Stockholm Strings & Horns and
they went down the line, playing every song on Forever Changes, in the
order it appeared on the Album, a 36-year-old album played with the
energy of a new release. By the time we'd hit the last notes of that
one, the sun was setting and left this beautiful orange and red trail of
clouds in its dust. At the end of the set, Arthur thanked everyone and
then said, ''This next song is called Seven... and Seven... and
Seven...1! 2! 3! 4!'

Arthur Lee, echte naam Arthur Lee Porter of Arthur Taylor Porter (Memphis (Tennessee), 7 maart 1945 - 3 augustus 2006)
"Ambulance Blues" is the final song on Young's fifth album, On The Beach.
At just under nine minutes long, it was never going to get a lot of
radio play, and its conversational feel makes it an unlikely choice for
jukeboxes or party playlists. Still, it's counted among Young's greatest
artistic achievements. Johnny Rogan in The Complete Guide to the Music of Neil Young
goes so far as to call it the "summit of Young's achievement as a
singer songwriter... the most likely candidate as his greatest and most
memorable composition."(Songfacts)
On the Beach is the fifth studio album by Canadian-American musician Neil Young, released by Reprise Records
in July 1974. The album is the second of the so-called "Ditch Trilogy"
of albums that Young recorded following the major success of 1972's Harvest, whereupon the scope of his success and acclaim became apparent; Young subsequently experienced alienation, and On the Beach was inspired by his feelings of retreat and melancholy stemming from it.
