benchwarmer 625 Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Gimme Shelter, for the people of Israel and Palestine. One of the best intros ever, and Delia's cake on the album cover! Ooh, a storm is threatening/My very life today/If I don't get some shelter/Ooh yeah, I'm gonna fade away War, children/It's just a shot away/It's just a shot away War, children/It's just a shot away/It's just a shot away Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'/Our very streets today/Burns like a red coal carpet/Mad bull lost its way War, children/It's just a shot away/It's just a shot away War, children/It's just a shot away/It's just a shot away Rape, murder, it's just a shot away, shot away, shot away . . . .

Mr Angry 1,571 Posted October 14, 2023 Went to see Peter Hook and The Light in Liverpool last night. They played the whole of the New Order ‘Substance’ album, then played the whole of the Joy Division ‘’Substance’ album. I prefer New Order and my wife prefers Joy Division so we were both happy! Here’s one of each: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Raptor 1,232 Posted October 25, 2023 No one played drums quite like Charlie but because he wasn't flashy he's maybe underrated. Check out Elton John on piano. Shame about peado wyman on bass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Apples 1,331 Posted October 26, 2023 Saw Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds in Glasgow last night. Great gig including some Cramps and Gun Club classics. The band turned up at the venue and walked through the crowd, tuned up themselves with barely a soundcheck and then played a blinding set until they were about to get kicked off stage at 10. 🫡😅 Apples 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,824 Posted October 26, 2023 Went to see legendary jazz drummer, Billy Cobham, last night. An added bonus was seeing a 6-stringed bass in the wild for the first time. (I was just behind whoever did this video.) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,678 Posted October 27, 2023 Guardian gave a big review to Oxn (can't work out how to get the correct symbol for the 'O') who are an absolutely fascinating listen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much better than I'll ever be. Already left the uk. Grrrr Even tho I find alot of modern jazz hard work. I prefer more melody rather than cramming 3647i notes in a bar just because you can. Live its a different thing though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest it's not my type of jazz. I prefer the more brassier style of sound but it's great to see these legends at work. And they inevitably have a high quality of musician backing them up.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted October 31, 2023 During lockdown I would go out into the garden and climb onto my turbo trainer and ride until I had listened to this album from start to finish. Of course I had gotten a bit sick of it after a few weeks and never played it again. But I have now and realsie what made me use this one to try and stay healthy. Not universally liked because of their use of technology whereas Kraftwerk were adored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 4,987 Posted October 31, 2023 I dip in and out of this thread. Cosmo's Factory is surely the album by which all others should be judged and sadly will ultimately fall short. It's perfect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I prefer their music before they became just a studio band. I know Fagen didn't like singing live so they brought in David Palmer but any band with Skunk Baxter and Denny Dias should play live. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
