Ah, the music I grew up on.

 

 

Magical one of a kind tune that evokes feelings and emotions that I cannot put to words.

And to come full circle for this evening.

 

Your Stairway to Heaven post reminded me of this:

 

Got to see Bettye LaVette a few years back perform a spectacular sit down show in a high school auditorium in Cincinnati with only a couple hundred in attendance.

 

She was amazing and freakishly still very much unknown.

 

 

All I can say is

 

​WOW!

American Bandstand used to be on the cutting edge.

 

 

Wow...very cool find. I've never seen this video before, nor have I ever seen them perform White Rabbit, just have only heard it in audio. Again, another tune that is so one of a kind.

Then (I fell in love with them when I saw them at a club in Baltimore in 1978):

 

 

Love Love Love Heart!

mcpapa...you're knocking me out with so much good stuff. :thumb:

Thinking about making this a regular thing. Maybe next Tuesday night.

 

Although I may turn some folks off because I've got a Celtic theme in mind. Used to go to the Celtic Festival in Cincinnati every year back in the day.

Boy, that cut off the conversation in a hurry.

Not necessarily... I've been to the Celtic Fest two years in a row at Washington Park. I dig the sounds of Celtic music, and now and again go through my phases with it. It has a lot of heart and a sound that naturally resonates with me so much as if I've been reincarnated and was once raised in Ireland.

My two favorite parts of this:

 

Jason Bonham on the drums...dude!

Yo-Yo Ma really enjoying the guitar solo.

 

In case you needed a reminder that Prince is one of the greatest.

Stevie Winwood isn't too bad himself.

No turn off here. Love Celtic music from the traditional stuff to the newer "revved" up stuff!!

Here is another song titled "Gone" from The Head and the Heart that I REALLY like. Incredible lyrics. I've always been a sucker for songs that start off slow & melancholy, build......, pull back, build again......:

 

Scorpions

Rock You Like a Hurricane - Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra (2000).....Louisville, Ky and former Buster Brown member, James Kottak on drums. The orchestra solo at 4:10 :thumb:

 

The Scropions ROCK!
