I'll start with these two:
What's wrong with being sexy?
Roderick and his tasteful strides...
If you post that...
...then it's mandatory that someone has to post this:-
Not quite "disco"
But undeniably danceable and really rockin'
Rockin' (and rollin') was their business...
and they did it good.
The five Earls Court 1975 shows
are amongst the very best gigs I ever attended. Zeppelin were at their absolute zenith and were simply stunning.
Musically they started to fade through the '77 US tour and by Knebworth 79 they were a shadow of their former selves - the riots, arrests, beatings, cancellations and family death that accompanied them didn't help. Listening to the boots of the '77 tour you can hear them changing night-by-night from a team at the top of their game to four bored and demotivated musicians struggling to hold it together.
The band that toured Europe in 1980 was a different beast altogether - rebuilt and resprayed for the 1980s.
Don't tell me you went to all of them!
Seethes with jealousy... ;-)
Student days and a couple of years after
threw up a few acts who could make me get jiggy without having to mope around on the dancefloor like a forlorn orphan, which was the de riguer look for most student blokes. So I give you some Indie Dance highlights
But the daddy of all rock/dance crossovers has to be Blondie's Heart of Glass
Have an up...
...for World of Twist :-)
I've hit the hi-tech groove now
Ozzy and Zappa do the Bee Gees
Rock? Check.
Disco? Check.
Any good? erm...
Never knew
of that version. Apparently not content with just a version with Frank Ozzy's also covered the song with Dweezil
A bit of Boz...
A bit of Lennie
Led Zeppelin
at Earls Court doing Trampled & Kashmir was as good as live music ever got for me. It felt like the stage was going to rush forward & trample us. A band at the height of their powers, all downhill from there to Knebworth I feel.
Lost Classic from ver Quo
Going back to the Stones I'm
Going back to the Stones I'm pretty sure that the Black Crowes had them in mind whilst recording this.......
That Black Crowes tune is superb.....
.....love it.
Thanks, I do love the Crowes
When they want to they can come up with a tune, melody or moment seemingly at will.At times though they seem to require one to work through the mass to get to the gems.
Warning this track is not representitive of the rest of the album it comes from. The rest of the album is good though, just more acoustic and laid back.
Wish they'd come further north than London if / when they tour again.
..okay its lo-fi
.. but if you imagine this with orchestral sweeps over the top and a pumping bass high in the mix then disco it is...
There's always this...
