Yeah. Saw it in the cinema and watched it the other night. Its starts off a little cold but you'll be holding back tears by the end. Its a celebration of joy. The most organic rock and roll band you'll ever see and still the best band in the world.

Absolutely amazing. Page makes playing guitar look effortless. Will be watching it over and over again,.

Jimmy Page - great in the studio, often shockingly bad live (at least when Zep were at their peak - dont know, or care much, about now)

Out of interest is your name homage to fruitbat's band?

[abdoujaparov]

only in the sense that they're both an homage to Djamolidine Abdoujaparov

(the band are fucking great tho')

R.I.P Ravi Shankar. An unmeasurable influence on modern music.

Unbelievable performance here.

[The Nal]

Tom Waits and Keef.

Shenandoah

[The Nal]

Keith should forget about The Stones, and just work with Tom.

Yep. His guitar work on Waits last album was great. Exactly what he should be doing.

Wilko Johnson is dying of cancer:-(

WILKO JOHNSON – IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

I am very sad to announce that Wilko has recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer of the pancreas. He has chosen not to receive any chemotherapy.

He is currently in good spirits, is not yet suffering any physical effects and can expect to enjoy at least another few months of reasonable health and activity.

He has just set off on a trip to Japan; on his return we plan to complete a new CD, make a short tour of France, then give a series of farewell gigs in the UK. There is also a live DVD in the pipeline, filmed on the last UK tour.

Wilko wishes to offer his sincere thanks for all the support he has had over his long career, from those who have worked with him to, above all, those devoted fans and admirers who have attended
his live gigs, bought his recordings and generally made his life such an extraordinarily full and eventful experience.

Thank you.

Robert Hoy
(Manager)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Watched Oil City Confidential recently (twice) and went through a big Dr. Feelgood phase at the end of last year.

[abdoujaparov]

blimey... and he seemed to be getting happier the older he got too....

saw him dozens of times, mostly with the Feelgoods... one of a very few genuine inspirations for me

very sad...one of my guitar heroes

*Anorak alert*

Didn't know there was a third photo of Robert Johnson only found a few months ago!

[The Nal]

Anyone see that Sinatra doc on Beeb 4 last night. Missed the 2nd half but it was excellent. Never saw this pic before. Brilliant!

[The Nal]

Unbelievable tekkers from Joni. Thank the Lord, Allah, Buddha and Obi-Wan Kenobi that this was filmed.

[When Jokers Attack]

[The Nal]

Bruce looks genuinely touched there when it cuts to him.

[The Nal]

So so good

[windy_miller]

Shadow Morton, producer of this amazing piece... rip

And this. One of the greatest songs ever written.

[The Nal]

Alvin Lee. R.I.P.

I was also pleasantly surprised to hear of his support for equal rights and almost got caught up in the McCarthyism... I wonder how he avoided that..?

Being backed by the mafia, as lots of performers were as the mafia owned all the clubs, donating to politicians and publically backing politicians. Being the biggest star in the history of music also helped!

Alvin Lee. R.I.P.

I saw Ten Years After somewhen around the mid-eighties, and they're probably the loudest band I've ever seen.

Cool. Good gig?

[eFestivals]

Cool. Good gig?

I think so, I can't much remember. I'm not even sure now where it was that I saw them, but it might well have been in a titchy venue called 'Angies' in a converted stable-block out in the sticks somewhere around Wokingham - it held only about 60 people I think.
