I was sad to hear that Peter Frampton may not tour again as he has an incurable muscle degenerative disease. He always looked like he was really enjoying himself on stage :down:

I watched The Stones Rock and Roll Circus last night on Sky Arts. I had forgotten just how good and original the Stones were back in 1968. Jagger was some showman too. Love it, especially the last four minutes of this performance.

I watched that, superb.
There is also a Chuck Berry one that is equally as good, extraordinary, its as if the guitar is actuallly part of his body.

They may look a trifle 'nerdy', but Sky were formed from some of the best musicians around including celebrated classical guitarist John Williams and, a very young Herbie Flowers on bass. This was a chart hit for them in 1980, and they got to perform it on TOTP!

That is lovely .... but who are they?

probably wouldn't have been called 'Spain' in the early 90s if they had foreseen how the internet would play out.

anyway ... it's Josh Haden who's dad played bass for Ornette Coleman so he has a good idea of how to put a choon together. Spain's songs follow a simplle formual ...slow paced, simple chords, borderline banal lyrics, lovely tone, 'question and answer' melodies, an impressive short guitar solo, e.g.:

^that one is, quite frankly, STUNNING

there's 50 or so songs ... and they are all sublime.


occasionally they almost rock out .... (warning, features pick slide) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHQRxNBxcJE&ab_channel=Spain-Topic
