R.I.P Jack Bruce

Here is the sad news report...

I became a fan of Jack Bruce by being a fan of Eric Clapton. Of course I am talking about the music of Cream. Here Jack Bruce and Cream perform "Sunshine of Your Love"

I didn't get the chance to see Jack Bruce with Cream but I did get to see him perform with Ringo Starr..Here they perform "White Room" with Peter Frampton...

Here Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker and Gary Moore perform "Spoonful" as part of BMM,,,

Here is a solo song of his "Only Playing Games"

I was blown away by Jack Bruce when I saw him live, He was obviously a great bass player. He will be missed by his fans like me for his music. His family will miss him for the parts most fans didn't see. May he rest in peacer

Happy Birthday Bill Wyman!

Bill Wyman the former bass player for the Rolling Stones turns 78 today! The bass player for a lot of classic Stones songs and paired with Charlie Watts half of a monster rhythm section in Rock and Roll.

Yes it is a great excuse for me to post and listen to some classic Rolling Stones songs. However, I will try to dig deeper and find some gems from the Stones and beyond.

Starting off with this cover of "Green River" which features Bill's current project Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings plus a couple of friends with Peter Frampton and Albert Lee..

Bill Wyman in his own words on a recent interview...

Here is a clip from 1969 performing "Gimme Shelter"

Here he rejoins his old band as a guest...

Here is a song he did solo in 1982 called "Ride on Baby"

Hope you enjoyed the music! Happy Birthday Bill Wyman!

Peter Frampton

Peter Frampton is playing a concert at the Lincoln Theatre in Washington, DC. I wrote a preview article which included a neat video and a slide show which you can read here. Thought my article was a great excuse to write more about a great guitarist and add some videos.

Let him Show You the Way...

These days he may have more "Lines on My Face"...

.

Still the legend is not above covering something more current like "Blackhole Sun"

Yes, I am blending new songs, rarities, and hits just to add some flavor. I hope you like my way..

"Baby I Love Your Way"

Thanks for stopping in I hope you enjoyed your stay.."Do You Feel Like We Do"

Remembering Tommy Bolin

Tommy Bolin died at the young age of 25. He was on his "Private Eyes" tour. The night before he had opened for the legendary Jeff Beck and had also opened shows for Peter Frampton. The young man earned those spots by being the guitarist in Zephyr, Energy, James Gang, Deep Purple and more. He also put out a couple of solo albums. In the end his demons took him.Today we look back and celebrate this guitarist and his work.

Here he is solo with the song "Teaser"

Another solo gem "Dreamer"

Here is "Cross the River" with Zephyr..

Here is "Heart light" with Energy

Here is Deep Purple performing "Burn" with Tommy..

It is just a taste of what Tommy Bolin did with his short career, I hope you enjoy!

Happy Birthday Jack Bruce!

Jack Bruce the legendary bass player for Cream turns 70 today. Along the way he had a successful solo career and worked on a few other projects. I was fortunate to see him with Ringo Starr.

I'll save Cream for last since he did other things in his career. This band was very Cream like..featuring Ginger Baker and guitarist Gary Moore....

Here is vintage Jack Bruce with Buddy Guy...that would have been fun to have seen!
