Chewn!

 

I always liked George Thorogood's version.

This is insanely addictive and I'm so glad I stumbled upon via the brilliant http://www.npr.org/music 

 

New album out today apparently...

There's another npr link that goes to their archive. It covers live concerts back to the 60s and it's all downloadable. I got a McLaughlin/Hendrix concert from Madison Sq Garden from 69? (70?)

Never heard that version Dave, I will check it out.

There's a live George Thorogood album I used to own which has a great version of that, as well as 'Bad to the Bone'.

Bit of proper Aussie rock here.

After reading a post Bostik Bailey made in the tax credits thread, I couldn't help but be reminded about this little beauty:

 

 

The chords and riffs are just filth

Some cracking singing;-

If you enjoyed the TV series 'Cradle to Grave', someone's assembled a Spotify playlist of the songs featured: https://open.spotify.com/user/chaileyjem/playlist/5RunpB1LJVHHylMLQIphHT

I'll have to watch all 4+ hours of this to tell if it is The Band's legendary 'Last Waltz' concert in full, without Scorsese's interruptions. But it looks and sounds like it might be. 

Yes, it certainly appears to be the full gig, including (unfortunately) the entire poetry section. Just one camera angle, but you get a feeling for the performance without any post-production and overdubs. 

 

I bailed out of watching when the all-star jams started, though. They are also available as extras on the DVD and are best avoided.

I quite like Lawrence Ferlinghetti's Loud Prayer but I guess it's strength could be in it's brevity. Is it just Ferlinghetti or are there other poets?

There were 4 or 5 of them, all in one indigestible chunk in the middle of the gig - thankfully they only got to read one poem each.

 

I suppose it gave people a chance for a bathroom break.

Dirty Fan Male, by Jonny Trunk & Wisbey.

 

How to describe this very NSFW album? Hmm... well Jonny Trunk's sister used to work for an agency that dealt with 'glamour' models. Johnny ended up getting the job of dealing with correspondence from people who were devout fans of the girls. He kept the strangest and funniest letters, for his personal amusement.

 

Years later, running his own label Trunk Records, he got the impressionist Duncan Wisbey to 'perform' the letters for a live show. Wisbey reads them in the voice of people like Cary Grant, James Mason or Alan Bennett. Oh, and they set some of them to music. 

 

What can I say? It is very funny in its own odd way. Here's some excerpts from side A. But, as I said, NSFW!

The Black Swan is a much loved Bradford live music venue. It's closing (hopefully temporarily) with a goodbye gig next Wednesday night.

 

:(

 

 

My son's band is on the bill.
