Aye, and another...

Don't need no era, just a year, 1967.

Time for a cryin' song...

I remember....The Hoochie Coochie Men

But do you remember the Dinosaurs? Here playing Buffy Sainte-Marie's classic about opiate addiction...

[Geraldine]

I didn't Cody! I had forgotten them! Epic, reminds me in parts of "The Pusher".
Now, something with a different beat....

Solstitial salutations!
Back in 1969, my two favourite bands both released double-albums. In Live Dead, the Grateful Dead captured their unique live sound on tape. I believe this was the first live concert to be recorded on 16-track equipment. Acid Rock, Prog Rock, West Coast Rock, call it what you like, the Dead pushed the boundaries with some very original music. However, I'll play their cover of the Reverend Gary Davis classic...

Pink Floyd were also making innovative music. Before they became a stadium band (after the AHM tour, which broke them worldwide), they were still playing clubs and colleges, and in my opinion, they were at their peak on the live half of Ummagumma. Richard Wright's keyboard playing was always at the heart of their music, and it was probably at its finest on this track...

Now.......Something Else

[Cody]

Great minds think alike! She's sure fine lookin' man, she's something else!

[Cody]

It's just as well I no longer collect CDs/vinyl, as this Pink Floyd box set would've broken the bank! It even includes the movies La Vallée and More. The old collector within me still lusts after it though. Currently selling for £340 or more - ouch!
Anyway, a track from More...

From that wiki page: Frank Zappa – guitar on Interstellar Overdrive. <sobs>

From the Liverpool Scene to the Liverpool Scene...

More from More (the nightmare scene)...

Live, they stretched and slowed the song - very atmospheric!

Gilmour is one of the best guitarists ever. Not had any interest in anything they did that Waters wasn't involved in.

Gilmour's guitar break on this recording (from his On an Island tour) of Comfortably Numb is awesome!

The Live in Gdansk album is well worth having.

They say today is Blue Monday! Some Blue Cheer is obviously needed...

[Cody]

Yep, rainy day here too!

Traffic is one of those bands that I remember hearing about a lot but don't know any of their songs.

Steve Winwood (the main man in Traffic) is a hugely-talented multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter. I'd struggle to name their best album, but The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys and When the Eagle Flies are my favourites.

Argus is a classic album! And as I've probably said before, the cover art is very evocative.
Time for Stanley Unwin's masterpiece, accompanied by the Small Faces...
