"And then,.... all wars ended Arms of every kind were outlawed and the masses gladly contributed them to giant foundries in wich they were melted down and the metal poured back into the earth.The Pentagon was turned on it's side and painted purple, yellow & green. All boundries were dissolved. The slaughter of animals was forbidden.The whole of lower Manhattan became a meadow in wich unfortunates from the bowery were allowed to live out their fantasies in the sunshine and were cured. People swam in the sparkling rivers under blue skies streaked only with incense pouring from the new factories.The energy in the air provided free heat and light.World health was restored. An abundance of organic vegetables ,fruit and grains was growing wildly. National flags were sewed together into brightly coloured circustents in wich politicians were allowed to perform harmless theatrical games.""We are stardust, we are golden and we've got to get our selves back to the the garden!"
Yes, kids, you're right: there are four guys on a small open-air stage, a bassist, a drummer, a guitarist and a keyboard player who also sings. All in clothes that they usually wear. And - don't be shocked - they play live, without a safety net! There were plenty of guys like that back then, in the 1960s and 1970s. And they played, we bought vinyl records for the record player, went to concerts and had fun. And when I want to escape the high-tech world, I take a vinyl record, put it on the record player and revel in the good old days. And the more the record scratches, the greater the feeling!
And if you want to know more about ole classic artists and guitars, Steve Winwood, despite his skills at keyboards, a guitarist also. Go dig up old live footage of Winwood with Traffic playing Dr. Mr. Fantasy, there Winwood using a Gibson Reverse Firebird in strange green finish! Not sure that has any extraordinary aspects of tone or sound, but Steven Stills used a Firebird Type 1 when he with Crosby, Stills, Nash, Young and dig up the old 74 video performance of Almost Cut My Hair to see him playing it, as well as young Neil Young with his staple Les Paul.
The tone is so awesome Clapton gets cause it is not simply a Telecaster, but a Tele Custon body with an old Fender Stratocaster neck attached! Other aspects left off as in live performance Marshall stack amps, but in studio may been using Fender Bandmaster amp and the original album recording pretty much has some tonal qualities original album vs this live performance, extra watts and more volume the only difference?
Ritchie always likes to speed stuff up in concert. Here he is on fire. I saw this tour and they were amazing. Don’t forget the keys here, very well done.
En niemand die op het idee kwam dat als men een der trekdieren opdracht had gegeven de tegenovergestelde richting als de trojka in te slaan, de huilende meute net lang genoeg afgeleid zou kunnen zijn met het verorberen van deze aanzienlijke massa om een veilig heenkomen te vinden, danwel een tegenoffensief te lanceren middels de tot molotov-cocktail opgewaardeerde samowar. Wodka hier, wodka daar, wie rookt er hier een klapsigaar.
It's funny to remember all the crap thrown at Blind Faith as a supposed commercial supergroup created for money. The music, however, speaks the self-evident truth. This is the kind of loose, jazzed-up, musical rock that Cream was supposed to create, but never did. It's also amusing to remember how Ginger Baker always seemed to come in second or third among "greatest rock drummers," usually behind that slugger John Bonham... as though Bonham could even play this song.
One universe away, Dave Grohll would be on that drum throne. Tom Petty asked if Dave would drum on tour and be in the band after Kurt died, but Dave was just forming Foo Fighters
Brilliant little band. Eric..smh...why can i say that hasn't been said about him, bloody brilliant he is....__GOD__🎸 I never understood why he wasn't as massive as Zeppelin or Pink Floyd. Any band he was in was short lived. He should have been bigger than Jimmy page. Eric is a way better player than jimmy..----that shoplifting pedo---- anyway, great song. Cheers mates.👊🏻
I would have loved to be at that show, but I was too young...and in Canada. Also Isle of Wight the next year. And Monterey a couple years before this. My older brother was at both Woodstock and the Summer Jam in Watkins Glen NY
