Rory Gallagher- Million Miles Away (1974 Don Kirshner's Rock Concert)

                                              Rory Gallagher - guitar & lead vocals
                                              Gerry McAvoy - bass
                                              Lou Martin - keyboards
                                              Rod de'Ath - drums

         
Million Miles Away (matige videobeelden,maar wel een hele mooie uitvoering)
This hotel bar is full of people,

The piano man is really laying it down,
The old bartender is as high as a steeple,
So why tonight should I wear a frown?

The joint is jumpin' all around me,
And my mood is really not in style,
Right now the blues flock to surround me,
But I'll break out after a while.

Yes I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away,
I'm sailing like a driftwood,
On a windy bay,
On a windy bay.

I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away,
But I'm sailing like a driftwood,
On a windy bay,
On a windy bay.

Why ask how I feel,
Well, how does it look to you?
I fell hook, line and sinker,
Lost my captain and my crew.

I'm standing on the landing,
There's no one there but me,
That's where you'll find me,
Looking out on the deep blue sea.

There's a song on the lips of everybody,
There's a smile all around the room,
There's conversation overflowing,
But I sit here with the blues.

This hotel bar has lost all its people,
The piano man has caught the last bus home,
The old bartender just collapsed in the corner,
Why I'm still here, I just don't know,
I don't know.

I'm a million miles away,
A million miles away,
I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay,
On a windy bay.

I'm a million miles away,
A million miles away,
I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay,
Send me away...

Jefferson Airplane

Marty Balin born Martyn Jerel Buchwald, (January 30, 1942 – September 27, 2018) was an American singer, songwriter, and musician best known as the founder and one of the lead singers and songwriters of Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship. R.I.P



Jefferson Airplane was vooral actief in de tweede helft van de jaren '60. De band debuteerde op 13 augustus 1965 in de Matrix club in San Francisco. De bandleden van de oorspronkelijke bezetting waren Marty Balin (gitaar, zang), Paul Kantner (zang, gitaar), Jorma Kaukonen (gitaar, zang), Signe Anderson, Jack Casady (bas) en Skip Spence (drums). Anderson en Spence verlieten de band kort na de opnamen van het eerste album en werden vervangen door respectievelijk Grace Slick en Spencer Dryden.


We Can Be Togheter

Mooie beelden van Jefferson Airplane in de repetitieruimte.
De zang van Grace Slick en Marty Balin; De interaktie tussen Jorma Kaukonen's lead guitar, Jack Casady's bass, en Paul Kantner's rhythm guitar komen hier prachtig tot uiting.Ook de nieuwe drummer Joey Covington is van de partij als vervanger van Spencer Dryden


Volunteers

Het eerste grote concert van de band vond in februari 1966 plaats in het Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. Daarna speelden ze nog op het Berkeley Folk Festival, Monterey Jazz Festival, Monterey Pop Festival, Woodstock, en op Altamont.


Sombody To Love

De band had groot succes op het Woodstock-festival waar ze om 7 uur 's morgens op de laatste dag van het festival het podium betraden met Slicks legendarische woorden "now you will see morning maniac music". Bij het Holland Pop Festival een jaar later gaf Jefferson Airplane aan het eind van de eerste nacht de afsluitende act.


Fantastic Plastic Lover

Het tweede album Surrealistic Pillow uit 1967 betekende de internationale doorbraak voor de band. Het album bevat hun twee bekendste nummers White Rabbit en Somebody to love. White Rabbit beschrijft de effecten van LSD in een analogie met Alice in Wonderland. Na dit album sloeg de band een meer experimentele richting in.


Mexico

Het album Volunteers uit 1969 is het laatste van de band in de klassieke bezetting. In 1970 verliet Spencer Dryden de band, een jaar later gevolgd door Marty Balin. Hoewel de band in gewijzigde bezetting bleef optreden en nog twee albums uitbracht, ging Jefferson Airplane uiteindelijk in 1972 ten onder. Casady en Kaukonen gingen verder met Hot Tuna, terwijl Kantner en Slick in 1974 Jefferson Starship vormden.


Wooden Ships


In 1989 kwam de klassieke bezetting, met uitzondering van Dryden, bij elkaar voor een reünie, die resulteerde in een album en een succesvolle tournee. In 1996 werd de band opgenomen in de Rock-'n-Roll Hall of Fame

Quicksilver Messenger Service - Dino,s Song (Monterey Pop Festival 1967)

John Cipollina—Lead guitar,Gary Duncan—Lead guitar, vocals,David Freiberg—Bass, vocals
Jim Murray—Guitar, vocals,Greg Elmore—Drums


Quicksilver Messenger Service started life during the folk-rock boom as an electric backing band for singer-guitarist-songwriter Dino Valenti. Before they could develop in that capacity, however, Valenti was arrested for drug possession and received a prison sentence. Rather than splitting up, however the group continued on without their front man, and over the next two years, the group proceeded to astound audiences in San Francisco with their performances, consisting of extended jams, stretched out through Cipollina’s shimmering angular lead guitar lines. For a time, the two top acts in the city were “the Quick and the Dead (The Grateful Dead),” but at the time of their appearance at Monterey, Quicksilver had yet to be signed by any label.

 Later in 1967, they got a spot in Jack O’Connell’s Haight-Ashbury documentary Revolution (1968), and on the accompanying soundtrack album. By the end of the year—by which time singer-guitarist Jim Murray had exited—they were under contract to Capitol Records. It wasn’t until a year after Monterey that their self-titled debut album was released, but it only captured a faint echo of the band’s dynamic live sound. Their second album, Happy Trails, was somewhat more representative, highlighted by the presence of a 25-minute jam growing out of Bo Diddley’s “Who Do You Love.” After that, the line-up began to splinter, as Gary Duncan quit and was replaced by British keyboard virtuoso Nicky Hopkins, for the album Shady Grove. Duncan returned soon after its release and it was at that point that Valenti finally rejoined the group, after attempting to restart his solo career following his parole from jail. This expanded Quicksilver line-up lasted until 1972 when Cipollina, Freiberg, and Hopkins all left—the remainder of the group, effectively led by Valenti, carried on with hired replacements for two albums before officially disbanding in 1973.

Jackson Browne, feat.David Lindley on violin- “Before The Deluge”.

         “Before The Deluge” track from Late for the Sky , the third studio album by American singer–songwriter Jackson Browne, released by Asylum Records on September 13, 1974. It was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1975. It peaked at number 14 on Billboard's Pop Albums char

    “Before The Deluge”.

 Some of them were dreamers
And some of them were fools
Who were making plans and thinking of the future
With the energy of the innocent
They were gathering the tools
They would need to make their journey back to nature
While the sand slipped through the opening
And their hands reached for the golden ring
With their hearts they turned to each other's hearts for refuge
In the troubled years that came before the deluge

Some of them knew pleasure
And some of them knew pain
And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered
And on the brave and crazy wings of youth
They went flying around in the rain
And their feathers, once so fine, grew torn and tattered
And in the end they traded their tired wings
For the resignation that living brings
And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow
For the glitter and the rouge
And in a moment they were swept before the deluge

Let the music keep our spirits high
Let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal its secrets by and by, by and by
When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky

Some of them were angry
At the way the earth was abused
By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power
And they struggled to protect her from them
Only to be confused
By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour
And when the sand was gone and the time arrived
In the naked dawn only a few survived
And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge
Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge

Let the music keep our spirits high
Let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by, by and by
When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky

Freddie White - Mill Theatre Dublin (13 Juni 2009)

Freddy White is een Ierse zanger en gitarist. Hij is geboren in Cobh, County Cork, Ierland. Hij was één van de oprichters van Scullion. Later formeerde hij The Fake één van de Ierse bands van het eind van de zeventiger jaren van de vorige eeuw. Toen kwam de Freddie White Band, samen met Eric Clapton. Hij maakte ook een toer met Clannad en produceerde een aantal albums.



The torture never stops(Zappa)

Ik heb het genoegen gehad deze symphatieke Ier enkele malen te zien optreden(natuurlijk in de Wegwijzer) en het was telkens zeer de moeite waard.
Verassende covers van o.a Tom Waits,Guy Clark,Frank Zappa(The torture never stops,hartverscheurend!)John Hiatt Randy Newman en zelfs Abba .En...je kan na het concert ook nog gezellig een biertje met Freddie drinken,wat ik natuurlijk gedaan heb.



Martha Tom Waits

Freddie populariteit in Ierland duurt al jaren en daar is één goede reden voor: Hij blijft nieuw werk afleveren! Hij heeft al negen albums op zijn naam; en allemaal zijn ze positief door de pers ontvangen. Het zijn de live performances die de meeste indruk maken. Hij kan rocken, hartverscheurende ballads spelen en jazz croonen, zonder zijn eigen sound te verliezen.


Gypsy Moth


Huggin and Chalking


Po-Jama People(Zappa).


Walking Stick


The Boys talk Tough


Cry Love(John Hiatt)

Als alles meezit komt Freddie volgend voorjaar weer naar Nederland.
Ben je in de gelegenheid zou ik zeker gaan kijken,zeer aanbevolen door Arthur.
