What Are You Listening To? (Part IV) 2020

what a golden era hey?.
Especially the 1960 to mid 70’s period
and especially out of little england.
Still to the day 5 of the top 7 bands for album sales came from england and that era.
Only the eagles and AC/DC stop them from having the top 5
Mustve been something in the water.
Beatles, zeppelin, pink floyd, the stones, deep purple, queen, rainbow, sabbath, the kinks the who, among others
We had real muso’s then, today they have cardi-b lol.
What the hell happened?
To be fair there are some good muso’s around but not quite like that era.
for me zeppelins live concerts were just crazy.
3 to 4 minute songs from albums, stretched out to 10 - 30 minutes & just full of improv.
No quarter, Whole lotta love, Dazed and confused, Since ive been loving you, just wow.
This, “the song remains the same” concert at madison square garden was awesome.
They were at their peek and probably started to burn out a bit in the years following.
Sorry to spam the thread with zep songs, as you can gather im a bit of a fan.
For the song “since ive been loving you” Apparently, the great BB King once said: This is the best blues ever written, and after a short pause he added, by the white man, and he laughed.
I love the improv section in whole lotta love at around the 5.20 mark
“shake it baby, shake one down for elvis” lol.

oh shit yeah, dont get me wrong, andy had a top voice to, in his own right.
Growing up i had a bit of a thing for copelands drumming, i liked his style / technique.
They were a very fine band the police but personally i didnt consider them quite in the same league of some of the earlier brit bands.
Its all subjective of course.
That is cool though i didnt know he played with lordy.
Just the one album was it?
He was an awesome muso lord
