Classic Rock YES! ( and others..) What are you listening to right now?

[Tom K.]

The opener was Nick Lowe with Los Straitjackets.

One of the best live "minor" acts I've ever seen, though ages ago (The Blasters on that list also). I still regularly listen to Sing Along With Los Straitjackets. So fun, and who can't get behind Alison Moorer and Exene Cervenka (sp?) vocals?!

Still wearing the Aztec mask get ups?!

Yup. It's their schtick.

Long but worth it.

John Lord (organ) and Ian Paice (drums) are ON IT!

Dare I say that Bonham would approve.

I think I first saw them in 71’ but probably the same tour as your video. Space Truckin’ (jam) was the closing number & mixed in earlier material. I’m not sure if Machine Head had even been released yet. I was very close to the stage & Blackmore & know that my ears were ringing into the following day!

What the Wilburys could have been !!

This clip was excerpted from The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. This seems to be Brian Jones' last performance with the band.

The entire presentation.

I had never seen the Jethro Tull performance before. Early line-up with Mick Abrahms on guitar who went on to form Blodwyn Pig!

October 25, 1968: The New Yardbirds played a gig at Surrey University in England. At least, that's the band that the promotional posters had been advertising, except they are no longer The New Yardbirds; it is the band's first gig under their new name, Led Zeppelin. The show was advertised on the school poster as the "first big dance of the term!" - Mike Santos - NY Rocks FB page

Not exactly Classic but the words are from the middle of the last century and put to music by a band that was started in 1996. The Dropkick Murphys honored Woody Guthrie with their latest album 'This Machine Still Kills Facists'.

It is the band's first acoustic album and is composed of unused lyrics and words by Woody Guthrie. source: Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Machine_Still_Kills_Fascists

This video is from their show last night in Denver at the Paramount:

I fell down the YouTube rabbit hole again.

I fell down the YouTube rabbit hole again.

First time I saw Robin Trower was at Winterland in May of 74’. It was Sunday night & they were opening for Sha Na Na & probably less than a thousand in attendance. We had school the next day so it was good we could leave early.
The following year Robin Trower was the headliner in Oakland at a “Day on the Green” playing to about 75,000 fans. Peter Frampton, Dave Mason and Fleetwood Mac were also on the bill. Talk about a meteoric rise to say the least!
Saw him in a small venue in Tahoe 7 or 8 years ago & still sounded great!

A little disappointed that the Who are lip syncing
