For me it has to be the John Barnes rap on "World in Motion"

No, I'm not joking......genius

**stroller** · 10-12-2006, 07:43 PM

Got to be the invention of the wah-wah.

^Barnes played in the 1990 title winning side at Liverpool, then appeared in the World Cup for England, scoring a controversially disallowed goal against Belgium in the second round. He was injured when England went out to West Germany on penalties in the semi-final. Barnes had again supplied a rap for a tie-in song, "World In Motion" by New Order, which was a UK No.1 and is still regarded by many as the best football song ever made.

I had to look that up I'd never heard of it.

Niel Young's guitar solo on "Cortez the Killer"

**NickA** · 10-12-2006, 07:49 PM

Here it is...

and the complete song...

**NickA** · 10-12-2006, 07:51 PM

Here's Cortez the Killer....watch out it's 9 minutes long...

**NickA** · 10-12-2006, 07:55 PM

I just noticed that Chris Waddle was sporting the greatest monent in hair history, that oh so famous "mullet"

**NickA** · 10-12-2006, 08:08 PM

Here's one of my favourite live performances...

**NickA** · 10-12-2006, 08:09 PM

and one of my favourite Neil Young songs....

**NickA** · 10-12-2006, 08:12 PM

One of my favourite, probably cos i can actually play it, from early Fleetwood Mac...

**stroller** · 10-12-2006, 08:12 PM

I really wish I could download youtube at times, so this wasn't a "same riff for 15 minutes" job of Young's then?

Lou Reed touring with Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter was one of the highlights of the seventies.

**NickA** · 10-12-2006, 08:14 PM

^I think the only lot that could do the same riff for 15 minutes were and still are Hawkwind

**Sir Burr** · 10-12-2006, 08:44 PM

When the guitar went electric.

**colourful-era** · 10-12-2006, 09:04 PM

^^Hawkwind are a top band - I was listening to some last night

**daveboy** · 10-12-2006, 09:04 PM

Yep, but all the freaks tripping on acid scared me away at the time.

New years eve, 1969. Fillmore East. band of Gypsies.

The Greatest Moment in Musical History??
No such animal.
how about the day Billie Holliday recorded her last album? Dunken dope fiend of a ho she was, man that voice... got a track where she just sang this one song, a cappella. Still will play that and replay it every time I listen.
The day Robert Johnson recorded "Sweet Home Chicago?" or any number of the other songs he recorded that went on to become the bedrock on which The Blues and Rock 'n Roll were built?

**stroller** · 11-12-2006, 01:12 AM

"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" was another milestone from yank-land, fekking far-out freaks they were at the time, matched by Amoon Duul's "Phallus Dei" on a European level.

Crowded house live in Aussie after Paul Hestor commited suicide.Neil Finn (kiwi!

Yep, been a big Finn fan for years. All sarted with Split Enz for me. Missed rehearsing one song on bass with 'em but that was cut short because of unionized stagehands.

Met them again backstage after the show where I worked in Ottawa. Asked for autographs and Hester had me autograph something for him

Funny guys. May the Finns never stop writing music.

**Little Chuchok** · 11-12-2006, 02:34 AM

Here's one for you then...

**Sir Burr** · 11-12-2006, 06:57 AM

1987 in Phuket. I was invovled in one of the first dive companies to set up here. As part owner, I had free diving and used to help out on the five day trips to Similan.
In those days, we used to camp on the beach. In the evenings, light a fire and get pissed.
There was one guy that took the tour called James. Tall, gangly bloke who was very shy and quiet.
He brought a guitar to the camp fire sessions and played it damn well. I told him so too. Told him I thought he was good enough to play professionally.
He told me that he was already a musician with a band called Australian Crawl. He was on his way to Japan to meet his girlfriend and play music with Japanese instruments.
He said that the band was breaking up, but, nobody knew yet.
I had never heard of Australian Crawl and James Reye and thought James was just a bloody good bloke.
