To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Yep, we just had a heavy downpour here and thunder is rumbling!
There's a connection between Thin Lizzy and Peter Green - Gary Moore bought Green's 1959 Les Paul (his "magic guitar").
I found a remaster of the 1970 gig in Boston - Rattlesnake Shake is much better quality than the one I have on CD.
Didn't hear any thunder or see any lightning despite the forecasts.
That live recording sounds a lot like what I have on my MP3 player - think it's actually a BBC In Concert recording though. Peter Green's famous Les Paul was offered to Gary Moore who owned it until his death. It was later bought by Kirk Hammett of Metallica.
One of our older members played this at our jam session last night - didn't know the song but sounds good
Humble Pie - Natural Born Bugie (aka Natural Born Boogie) (1969) - YouTube
That song owes a lot to Chuck Berry...
Meanwhile, from the delightfully-titled For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night...
The jammer that played the Humble Pie song also does Little Queenie sometimes. I asked him if he might do 'I don't need no doctor' sometime as I know it from having a cover version by WASP.
Humble Pie - I Don't Need No Doctor (Live LA Forum 1973) - YouTube
That's been covered many times - here's Beth Hart strutting her stuff at the Paradiso...
A long time ago, when I was living in Amsterdam, I worked for a while at the Paradiso - a truly great venue!
R.I.P. Wilko Johnson. He went to my old high school. Great live band, were Dr Feelgood!
Unique guitar style and stage presence had Wilko, though I'm not very familiar with his music. Can only remember one Dr Feelgood song, called Milk and Alcohol, which got in the charts.
Nice playing from Wilko on this one
R.I.P. Christine Perfect - another one gone!
Terry Hall
Some blues guitar attack magic from Mk1 Fleetwood Mac.
R.I.P. David Crosby - he co-wrote this (with Stills and Kantner)...
Good song - don't think I've heard it before. Not really familiar with David Crosby's music. I know this tune though..
There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact, it's all dark!
To mark the album's 50th anniversary. Saw them perform it live at Earls Court in '73 - wow!
Never seen Floyd live - don't know if they ever played up here. Seen a tribute act.
Would be good if Pioneer was able to play this song whenever you land back on Earth...
... don't know if they ever played up here.
Up North, the Dark Side of the Moon tour (1972) played Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, and Liverpool.
Gary Rossington, the last founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, has gone...
Bit young in 1972, first gig I went to was 1981.
Gary Rossington, the last original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd, has died. Here's a bit of his slide guitar...
Posted at exactly the same time.
Currently playing chez Cody...
Glad to see the artist has not passed (recently). First heard the song when covered by the Icicle Works in the 80's.
Something else from the 80's
