Neil Young - Old Man

                                                              Live at the BBC 1971

"Old Man" is a song written and performed by Canadian rock singer-songwriter and guitarist Neil Young from his 1972 album Harvest. "Old Man" was released as a single on Reprise Records in the spring of 1972, reaching number 4 in Canada,[2] and number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for the week ending June 3.

About that time when I wrote ("Heart of Gold"), and I was touring, I had also—just, you know, being a rich hippie for the first time—I had purchased a ranch, and I still live there today. And there was a couple living on it that were the caretakers, an old gentleman named Louis Avila and his wife Clara. And there was this old blue Jeep there, and Louis took me for a ride in this blue Jeep. He gets me up there on the top side of the place, and there's this lake up there that fed all the pastures, and he says, "Well, tell me, how does a young man like yourself have enough money to buy a place like this?" And I said, "Well, just lucky, Louis, just real lucky." And he said, "Well, that's the darnedest thing I ever heard." And I wrote this song for him.(Neil Young)

Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze

                                                           Atlanta Pop Festival 1970

"Purple Haze" is a song written by Jimi Hendrix and released as the second single by the Jimi Hendrix Experience on March 17, 1967. The song features his inventive guitar playing, which uses the signature Hendrix chord and a mix of blues and Eastern modalities, shaped by novel sound processing techniques. Because of ambiguities in the lyrics, listeners often interpret the song as referring to a psychedelic experience, although Hendrix described it as a love song. 

James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 - September 18, 1970) 

 "Purple Haze" is one of Hendrix's best-known songs and appears on many Hendrix compilation albums. The song featured regularly in concerts and each of Hendrix's group configurations issued live recordings. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and is included on lists of the greatest guitar songs, including at number two by Rolling Stone and number one by Q magazine.

King of the World - Life After You

         

                                                      Life at Heyhoef Backstage 

         Fokke De Jong -Ruud Weber - Stef Delbaere – gitaar -Govert van der Kolm – toetsen/zang

                                                             Life After You

Na de oprichting in 2012 werd het stempel ’supergroep’ als snel aan de band toegekend vanwege de rijke muzikale historie van de bandleden (Snowy White, Matt Schofield, Cuby & the Blizzards e.v.a.). Nu, tien jaar later, is King of the World een band die dit stempel nog steeds waar maakt en niets heeft ingeboet aan energie, drive en creativiteit. Vanaf het begin met Erwin Java en Fokke de Jong tot aan de huidige bezetting met de Belgische gitaarvirtuoos Stef Delbaere en drummer/zanger Marlon Pichel staat King of the World voor kwalitatieve roots, rhythm & blues van de bovenste plank.
