Rock n Roll ... Live!

Seeing that Mr. Clapton was the first post in this thread, I could not stop myself from posting this one, albeit, a blues classic from a master and esteemed friends, no less.

Cindy Blackman , Jazz Drummer also Mrs. Santana, is in a few of the songs I think.

 

[Nikhil]

BB King's best performance in his own opinion ....

,

One of the best - Stevie Ray Vaughan. This performance was epic because at the 2:34 mark you can see that he breaks a guitar string. SRV calmly continues playing while switching guitars mid song. Absolute legend!

Of course, Mr. Beck. But a big shout out to Miss. Wilkenfeld.

And here she is with Mr. Hancock.

When Classical music was being discussed passionately in the forum a few years back, I always used to ask forum members what makes the same music from x composer better than say from a y composer. I did not get answers to my satisfaction. Then I stumbled on to this wonderful site on 'Listening to Music' and the best part of it all was that it was free. I have placed a link below.

I am unfortunately yet to pass out of this course !!!

I came across this analysis of Led Zepplin's drummer John Bonham which I thought was interesting and so am sharing it below.

Never been a big Hendrix fan, but stumbled upon this classic.

Some legends on this stage for this one ...

I have been listening to a lot of Beth Hart lately and I came across this one.

 

[Nikhil]

One of my favorite Beth Hart live performances.

Now these tick all the boxes of nostalgia.

Jethro Tull had an album "Bursting Out"
There is some brilliant guitar and flute work on it.

Dire Straits Alchemy
1. Sultans of Swing
2. Telegraph Road
Though we'll known for Knopfler's finger flying on the guitar, one should follow the drummer. It's a fantastic experience

Lynard Skynard - Freebird
Peter Frampton - Do You Feel Like We Do
Led Zeppelin - Immigrant Song


Will post more ...
