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

[SecretAgentMan]

I didn't know that about Rick. I love learning stuff!

Better than Rick. A twin spin just for you. LA's finest at their finest and next-to finest.

Finest.

Next-to finest.

The Band.

Better than dad's version.

"Her heritage was something of a burden for Rosanne during much of her life. As a youngster, she was teased by her classmates in Ventura, California for having a 'hillbilly' as a father. Rosanne resented when her dad tried to force her to learn one hundred country classics. She eventually came to accept her parental ties, although she refused to draw on them in her music career.

Bonham was amazing.....

Comcast and Verizon FIOS have an ad free Classic Rock music channel. Not sure
about other cable providers. We have it on a lot !

 

[jack97]

Or.... watch Avenger movies. Page & Bonham's intro stood the test of time.

RIP Lorrie Collins female rockabilly pioneer. This is going waaay back to mid-1950s. Brother Larry was rockin' a double necked guitar about 15 years before Jimmy Page:

I've said it before. I'll say it again. Judith Durham is a babe.

Shame on me by Katrina Wolverton. Not usually my thing but she opened for John Popper when we saw him earlier this year and I thought she was pretty good.

Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them, guitar strings?'"

Not a huge fan of the who, but that was great. Two observations:

1. Keith Moon could drum. Still miss that dude.

2. Pete Townsend's dancing reminds me a bit of John Cleese doing a Monty Python skit. Luckily he rips on the guitar!

I didn't realize Prince (or the guy formerly known as...) was so strong on guitar!

Growing up in MN, got to see him a few times before he got all "Princed up". Astounding guitar player, and his band, The Revolution, STILL tears it up.

Bonham was amazing.....

Best syncopated drummer ever. See, for example, Nobody's Fault But Mine.

Damn!

"the big lake they called 'gitche gumee'"

I water skied several times on the St. Louis River near Spirit Mountain when I was young. I want the world to know.

And I learned to do planing windsurfing jibes in the same exact place in 1985, before taking that new-found ability to Hood River, OR!

Interesting Trivia: The mtb club in Duluth these days is called COGGS. You guessed it: Cyclists of the Gitchee Gumee Shores.
