SATELLITE

 

Telstar the first communications satellite in space.  At the time this tune seemed very advanced too.

LOVE

 

 

[grumpyhack]

ALONE

 

Love were one of my standout Glastonbury moments which I've posted before (see below) but this first clip is from Jools Holland.  A great contrast between their melodic and forceful numbers.

Yes, I (criminally) wasn't aware of Love until my mate Steve introduced me to them at my 1st Glastonbury in 03 and I was blown away. Managed to see them 3 or 4 times before Arthur sadly passed away.

Elkie Brooks one of the great British voices.

JOE

 

1st band I ever saw on the Pyramid stage

[grumpyhack]

HEY

 

A lot of questions about the provenance of this song.  Tim Rose for a long time claimed he wrote it and then passed it to Jimi Hendrix via his girlfriend.  Others then claimed they wrote it and Rose nicked it.  Either way a song that led to a lot.  I spent a couple of evenings after show drinking with Tim Rose, who was a stunning performer who could bring you to tears but, sadly never saw Hendrix live.

ROSE

CRACKLIN'

 

One of the finest performers I've ever seen live.  Everyone was on their feet from start to finish of his four hour show.  A cheesy but fun singalong.  It's sad that Parkinson's has put an end to his touring performing.

STATIC

ELECTRIC

 

The first US band I saw live at Bath Pavillion in 1967

POWER

NEWS

 

A one hit wonder by a bunch of RAF pilots, written and produced by Jonathan King (who we don't talk about any more).

[dondo]

GOOD

 

One of my favourite non Pyramid headliners. Pet Shop Boys, Deacon Blue and New Order being the others 

[grumpyhack]

TIMES

 

I saw PP&M several times.  Glorious harmonies.

[dondo]

HOURS

 

Reminds me of my favourite club in Leeds, Back to Basics.

TULSA

 

There's something about playing Cardiff and dying.  Gene Pitney died of a heart attack in his hotel room after a concert in Cardiff, Tim Rose played his last gig in Cardiff.

HILL

 

Carter's play on words from Mr Pitney's song
