@tim_rolls @MartinKnight_ I got the same ones as you. I think it might be Ronnie Clayton top left

@cranialillusion @Paytress I few years later, I saw The Who playing Wellington Pier: smoke, smashed guitars - the works - in front of a load of pilled-up chain-smoking Mods. At the end of a wooden pier. What could possibly go wrong?

[Derek H @hderek485]

@cranialillusion @Paytress I saw Tommy Steele in Great Yarmouth 1961. I was only 9 but still vaguely remember it

[Derek H @hderek485]

@SalvadorDafti Great song. I'd always assumed Donny Hathaway wrote it. I loved his version of it.

[Derek H @hderek485]

@StuartPenney1 @Paytress Just blind faith I'm reading the cream of the rock blogs.

[Derek H @hderek485]

@StuartPenney1 @Paytress Don't bother buying books on the subject. Everything you ever need to know are in the @StuartPenney1 blogs.

@SalvadorDafti Good start. Nice pick 😎

@john_earls One of the greatest drummers who have lived in a Harrow postcode (along with Keith Moon, Ginger Baker and Carlo Little)

[Derek H @hderek485]

@crockpics There at Charlton - and about once a year since 1966.

[Derek H @hderek485]

@kennylanglea @SalvadorDafti The highlight is 5 different versions of What's Going On at the end. All magical

@SalvadorDafti

Purely by accident i came across this gem this morning. I only popped out for bread and ended up driving for a hour with What's Going On 50th anniversary Deluxe Edition...really loud. Heaven.

@PigskinPapers @TheExtremeMusi1 Only 14 acts from UK and Ireland. Loads of the greats should be taking the place of middle of the road American makeweights

@TheDylanRabbit CRACKERJACK! (If you know you....)

[Derek H @hderek485]

Another one we both attended. Heady days.
Blimey - is it really a year since we last chatted about this?

[Derek H @hderek485]

@StuartPenney1 @Superstar_Cars @Rockstarscars Mantovani - cockney rhyming slang we don't hear anymore.

[Derek H @hderek485]

@StuartPenney1 If Silly Love Songs is one of the 3 tracks highlighted you wonder what other treats you get for your $105. The Frog Song?

[Derek H @hderek485]

@lucyshow11 Is this just a white woman list? No Aretha?

[Derek H @hderek485]

@Paytress @StuartPenney1 Sorry I meant 1968 being the year when there were violent Vietnam demos in London and Paris. The Stones released Street Fighting Man and things were getting angry.

[Derek H @hderek485]

@StuartPenney1 @Paytress Nice to read that again. As is the case with a few festivals and shows we've both attended, your memory is much clearer than mine. I must have missed the Rikki Farr rant. I do remember there was a whiff of anarchy in the air. Of course it'd all kicked off in 68.
