Manfred Mann’s Joybringer.  I really like this song and someone kindly did the drum track for me a while back.  I can do the rhythm guitar but the bass is a big part of the song and I have no bass guitar (and I don’t know anything about bass playing anyway!).  Any takers? :-)

Dunno if there are any Dead Heads here… but here’s Ministry (better known for industrial metal) doing a fairly straightforward accoustic cover of Grateful Dead’s “Friend of the Devil” for a Bridge School Benefit concert.

^ Nice. And another Neil Young link – been so many here the last few days :)

[EDIT] Even the Pearl Jam song I listened to; the album it is off has a dedication to ‘Uncle Neil’.

Time – My favourite ELO album. Rain is Falling for the most ‘beatley’ vocal. Though Hold on Tight is the message that is getting through to me just now :)

@4or5Magicians Wow, had no idea Ministry would ever perform an all-acoustic song! That was a really nice version – Jourgensen’s got a pleasingly plain, average-guy kind of voice when he isn’t barking through all those megaphones or whatever he normally uses. (Maybe I’m mischaracterizing their recorded work – I only ever heard a couple of records and never played them much.)

 

Just finished listening (on youtube) to “Maybe We’ve Been Loving Too Long” by Pickettywitch, which I hadn’t heard in like 40 years! (Had the single as a kid, probably inherited from one of my older cousins)

Turn the song up full blast and let the intro scare the living Beelzebub out of unprepared folk.

I grew up with that song and still think its good. Was on a cassette called ‘Sixties Mania’. ‘Fire’ was a big hit in the UK back in the day reaching #1, tho so was Ken Dodd singing ‘Happiness’.

Haha! I remember that one too.  A good antidote to some of the other crap!  A bit like punk after disco.

@trcanberra , have you really never heard “Fire” before now? HUGE hit! (Maybe not in Australia??)  Love his album, too. The psychedelic Tom Jones!

I think Arthur Brown is mentioned on the “Helter Skelter ” page – George was running around with a flaming ashtray on his head during the session as tribute to his act. Or something.

Anyways, listening to this

GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

I was actually on a ship somewhere between the UK and Australia at the time, which is probably how I missed it :)

Close – assisted passage. On the Fairstar which was a very nice cruise liner. That’s the way to travel, never mind flying. Via the Canary Islands, Cape Town and Perth to Sydney; then train to Brisbane where I lived until we moved down here in 1990.

Umm – sorry for the off-topic :)

My mom used to watch Tom Jones’ variety show every week :)   At 10, I didn’t really see anything good about him.  Fortunately I’ve learned something since then.  Fire is a great tune too!

Sorry no link but I’m sure at least 95% of you have it on your hard drives: ATMP – 4th time in a row. Amazing lot of good songs on a triple album, from What Is Life to Art of Dying.  A lot of wisdom in those lyrics too.
