The Blues A Musical Journey.
I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago, and it really is worth getting hold of if you've any interest in the blues.
It's a seven DVD boxset which charts the history of the genre, and I'm presently watching / listening to the "Red White & Blue" one,
all about the '60's UK blues explosion, with performances from Van the Man, Ton Jones, Chris Farlowe and others, a real spine
tingling nostalgia fest for me.
Best of all, it's available for peanuts over on The River .................. highly recommended.
Dave, yes I've been meaning to pick this up.I have a bootleg DVD of a Clapton concert from his Only The Blues tour that Scorsese filmed for the project ,but for whatever reason it didn't make the cut?
Hi Alan,
Doh, that's me on a mission now, to try and track down that bootleg ............. the fun never ends.
These two aren't bad though ..............
Eric Clapton - Blues. Eric Clapton - Strictly The Blues.
A double album, with the second one containing live Choons from Eric, Jimmy Page, The Yardbirds and John Mayall.
perfomances from Eric.
And they say that nostalgia ain't what it used to be!
Dave, the dvd is titled as such" A Martin Scorsese Film - Nothing But The Blues ".Its from The Fillmore Nov 8 and 9 1994.The blurb states " Filmed by director MS ,this documentary was broadcast once ,but never officially released for reasons which remain unclear". ECs playing at times is torrid.

On vinyl...
On triple vinyl...
CD. Johann Christian Bach - Overture: Adriano in Siria, Symphonies in D major Op. 18 No. 4, in E flat Op. 18 No. 1, in G minor Op. 6 No. 6, Concertante in C major - The Academy of Ancient Music, Simon Standage
(2017)
Cousin Silas - Stygian
Dark ambient electronic soundscapes to start off the day.
Nirvana. Unplugged in New York. On CD from 1994. An outstanding, memorable concert with covers of "The Man Who Sold The World" and "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" being the standout performances for me. The album also turned me on to the Meat Puppets.
Bill Evans: How My Heart Sings. The first Bill Evans album I ever heard, bought in 1963 from Squire's in Ealing Broadway, where Dusty Springfield once worked - not something I was aware of then. Still my favourite, a beautiful lyrical record.
Just before during workout....

After seeing this post from GraemeH dug this 1972 vinyl out..
The 'accidental' of the title is effectively how Snape was formed, during a USA tour of collective bands, including Humble Pie & King Crimson. Thus the band is also known as "The Accidental Band".
Always Enjoy this classic when I play it as do my work mates - Playing on Compact Disc
A nice bit of JJ to get the working afternoon going playing on Compact Disc from 1976.Good to hear the original "Cocaine" before his mate Eric covered it
Eric Clapton. Old Socks.
The cover reminds me of some of the avatars used in this forum !
