“At Fillmore East” the classic album by the Allman Brothers Band was recorded on March 12-13, 1971. The live album produced some of the groups greatest jam performances including the guitar work of Duane Allman. Among the highlights, incredible jam versions of “In Memory of Elizabeth Reed”, “Whipping Post”, “Statesboro Blues”, and “You Don’t Love Me” are included on this prototypical record.

I like to deal with emergency situations the old fashioned way, by standing up quickly and saying “panic stations!” then sitting back down again and having another cup of tea.

What a tasty treat. What a historic find. There is not much film of Mr Gershwin playing live. I've certainly not seen any before. Love that stride style in the second half.

My mate asked me if I'd like to visit the place made famous by William Tell.
"Sure would," I replied.
"No," he said, "that's Robin Hood."

In November 2000, Graham Thorpe batted for 432 minutes against Pakistan at Lahore, facing 301 balls for his 118 runs, and hit just two fours. And that, children of the Bazball era, is how proper batsmen used to bat.

ART BLAKEY

“Blakey’s influence as a bandleader could not have been nearly so great had he not been such a skilled instrumentalist. No drummer ever drove a band harder; none could generate more sheer momentum in the course of a tune; and probably no drummer had a lower boiling point — Blakey started every performance full-bore and went from there.”
