Cuby & The Blizzards - Hobo Blues (Afscheidsconcert 1974)
De afscheidslp werd op 15 januari 1974 opgenomen in één van de NOS-studio’s aan de Insulindelaan in Hilversum, waar C+B optrad in het VARA- televisieprogramma ‘Nederpopzien’. Daarop speelden Harry Muskee, Eelco Gelling, Hans Kinds, Willy Middel, Hans Waterman en Herman Brood. Publiek was welkom, maar er waren slechts 140 stoelen beschikbaar. Aangezien er meer dan duizend aanvragen waren en er,onder aanvoering van Luc Rengers, een bus met 40 fans uit Assen kwam, moesten velen teleurgesteld worden.
Harry Muskee (zang. harmonica) Eelco Gelling (gitaar) Willy Middel (bas) Hans Kinds (slaggitaar) Hans Waterman (drums) Herman Brood (piano)

Heads,Hands & Feat - Country Boy (Beat-Club)

Beat-Club was een Duits muziekprogramma dat liep van September 1965 tot December 1972.Helaas was het niet in Zeeland te ontvangen maar gelukkig is er prachtig DVD materiaal van overgebleven.De regie had wel de neiging om wat met de beelden te overdrijven(veel beeldwisselingen,erg felle kleuren)maar dat mag de pret niet drukken. Ik zal in ieder geval regelmatig fragmenten uit dit programma vertonen ,te beginnen met Heads,Hands & Feat
Gitarist Albert Lee was met zijn fenomenale gitaarspel natuurlijk het middelpunt van de band die verder tijden deze opname bestond uit Pete Gavin.Chas Rodgers en Tony Colton.Drummer Pete Gavin zouden we later nog tegenkomen in de band Vinegar Joe,Chas Rodgers vormden het duo Chad & Dave en Albert Lee werkte en werk met zoveel artiesten samen dat het teveel is om op te noemen.
Ik zag hem zelf in aktie met Bill Wymans RythmKings en zijn eigen band Hogan,s Heroes.

The Ducks(with Neil Young) - Santa Cruz 1977
The Ducks were a short-lived band of Neil Young, Bob Mosley, Jeff Blackburn and Johnny C (Craviotto) in the ’70s.
During the summer of 1977, Neil Young joined a local band in Santa Cruz, California and played with them in bars and clubs around Santa Cruz for several weeks. Jeff Blackburn, a San Francisco musician in the 1960s, first met Neil during Neil’s Buffalo Springfield days. The pair had renewed their friendship in the spring of 1977 when they jammed together at a birthday celebration for Jerry Miller (of Moby Grape fame). At the time, Blackburn’s group, The Jeff Blackburn Band, had been in need of a lead guitarist. Blackburn invited Neil to fill the spot and, wonder of wonders, Neil accepted! The band was renamed The Ducks, Neil rented a house overlooking the beach, and the adventure began.(Pat Mead)
Sailor Man
In addition to Blackburn and Young, The Ducks featured Bob Mosley (an original member of Moby Grape) on bass, and Johnny Craviotta (aka “Johnny C”) on drums. (Johnny C’s pedigree is a little murky - someone recently posted that he was a veteran of Blue Cheer, but I find that hard to believe. I remember reading at the time that he had done some recording sessions with Arlo Guthrie and with Ry Cooder, and those associations better fit his musical personality.) Every Duck could sing and all except Johnny could write, so The Ducks’ setlists were very democratic. Each member took his turn on vocals in fairly strict order.(Pat Mead)
Gypsy Wedding
Young had a contract with Crazy Horse that specified he could only tour with them, and so the Ducks were required to confine themselves within the city limits so as not to tour. One interesting moment came when Crosby & Nash came into town for a concert, and Young took the stage with them. The Ducks managed to end a mere seven weeks after they began. Young's rented house was burglarized and he lost a number of instruments and other items of great sentimental value. As word had spread in the national media about Young joining a local group, crowds increased with out of town "Duck Hunters" less content to let the band have its own identity and more inclined to mindlessly yell for old perennial Neil Young concert favorites. The Ducks continued on for a while without Young and held out hope that he might return, but it did not come to pass.

The Nimmo Brothers (feat.Micky Moody) Ain,t no love in the Heart of the CIty.
Ain,t no love in the heart of the city (Whitesnake)
Michael Joseph "Micky" Moody (born 30 August 1950) is an English guitarist, and a former member of the rock bands Juicy Lucy and Whitesnake.
"Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City" is a 1974 R&B song, written by Michael Price and Dan Walsh, and first recorded by Bobby "Blue" Bland for the ABC Dunhill album Dreamer. While Bland scored a minor hit with the song, landing in the top ten of the R&B charts, it is perhaps best known through cover versions and samples.

Neil Young "Waging Heavy Peace"
Mooi boek over het leven van Neil Young,eigenhandig door Neil geschreven .Het lijkt of hij het het persoonlijk aan je vertelt.Natuurlijk over zijn muziek ,maar ook veel over zijn andere grote hobby,s ,zijn modeltreinen en oldtimers.Zijn muzikale carriere komt als een film voorbij met prachtige verhalen en anekdotes.
Onderstaand stuk gaat over zijn eerste opnamesessies met zijn band:
The Squires.
23 juli 1963
Neil vertelt..
De CKRS-studio had een paar monobandrecorders,een equalizer,wat echo--effecten en een mengpaneel.Er werd live gemixt.Tijdens deze sessie zong ik voor het op band.Ik had een paar songs,waarvan een"I Wonder"heette.
I Wonder
Het was de beste song die ik ten gehore bracht,maar omdat ik een "andere" stem had,besloten we dat The Squires alleen instrumentaal zouden opnemen.Ik wist dat ik aan mijn zang moest werken en wist ook dat ik me goed voelde als ik zong.Die liedjes betekenden iets voor me.Ik had verschillende instrumentale nummers geschreven die we ook speelden.
De songs die we uit de auditie hebben gekozen waren "The Sultan" en "Image in Blue"
The Sultan
Destijds werd besloten dat"Image In Blue"een andere titel moest krijgen,zodat Bob Brandburn die aan het eind van de opname met echo kon opnemen.Het werd "Aurora".
Zij kwamen met het idee en bedachten de titel.Ik was jong en gretig.Ik was al blij dat ik een plaat kon maken.
Aurora
Na een paar lange,verwachtingsvolle weken werd de plaat op V-records uitgebracht,een plaatselijk bedrijf dat voornamelijk polka,s deed,maar net met rock,n and roll was begonnen .
Toen kwam het grote moment en hoorden we "The Sultan" op de radio!!Ik zat met mijn maatje Ken Koblun in mijn moeders auto,onderweg ergens naartoe.Ik voelde me goed.Ik weet zeker dat ik wekenlang met mijn hoofd in de wolken heb gelopen.De samensteling van The Squires was:
Ken Koblun op bas ,Ken Smyth op drums,Allen Bates op gitaar en Neil Young op gitaar.
I,ll love you forever
Als ik er vandaag de dag naar luister,vind ik dat we behoorlijk goed waren.We hadden betere spullen nodig,maar we speelden goed en instrumentaal was het ook ok.Echt te gek!

Dave Matthews & Friends - Trouble (Bonnaroo 2004)

Mooi opname van Dave Matthews,deze keer niet met zijn band maar met een paar muzikale vrienden.Alleen vaste gitarist van The Dave Matthews Band, Tim Reynolds is van de partij. De muziek van Dave vind ik moeilijk te omschrijven .Zijn live optredens zowel als duo(samen met Tim Reynolds)) of met zijn eigen band zijn in ieder geval prachtig en intens. Onderstaande opname is daar een mooi voorbeeld van.
Dave Matthews & friends (o.a Trey Anastasio) - Trouble.
David John "Dave" Matthews (b. January 9, 1967)is a South African-born American singer-songwriter, musician and actor, best known as the lead vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist for the Dave Matthews Band. He performs mainly with acoustic guitar and favors rhythm rather than solos in his playing. During the period from 2000 to 2012, his band, the Dave Matthews Band, sold more tickets and earned more money than any other act in North America.(Wikipedia)
