No Small Faces set is complete without this....
One of Pocol Haum's lesser known songs, The Milk of Human Kindness, featuring Robin Trower on guitar.
Wishbone Ash, started out about 12 miles from where I lived in Devon England... managed to see them a few times before migrating to Oz.
Somebody else whose beginnings were not far from me In Devon..... Snowy White, who played with such greats as Thin Lizzy, Pink Floyd, Peter Green of early Fleetwood Mac fame, and former Rolling Stone, Mick Taylor...
These days he's primarily a blues player, but he can still wield a pretty mean rock axe as well.
one of the all time greats...
my two fave Jim Croce....
1972/3 were very good years... amazing how music takes you straight back to them....
& I've Got a Name... and Operator... great talent...
One of Canada's all time great Folk singers who unfortunately was taken way to soon in an airline crash in 1983.

[that's 1976]
Yay...off to see Akka Dakka in December [and it may be their last tour]...
Personally I wouldn't bother.... not the same band without Bonn Scott.... and Brian Johnson isn't even a 6th or 7th next best... grates my nerves like chalk dragged across a blackboard.
A bit like the Strolling Bones, really... should have quit before arthritis and dementia set in.
Well...Scott was once called the greatest rock voice of all time...so it's a hard act to follow but Johnson does a pretty good job of it.
...and a squillion others agree...the first concert at Etihad stadium sold out in less than 30 minutes...so we're going to the second...
Each to his/her own, I guess, but Johnson's vocals are grating and distinctly off-putting for me. I don't care how many agree, he sounds like a dying duck in a thunderstorm, as my dear old dad used to say... like somebody's strangling the cat.
Hehe, I wonder if he 'sings' in the shower... and whether his neighbours called the RSPCA.
Almost had a chance to be there that day in history, but instead i elected to start my new job
it was my high school graduation summer!! Damn WTF? Was i thinking...LOL
Yeah, WTF in Hell were you thinking?
I had no chance of making it to that most memorable concert - being on Oz n' all - but I have watched the video numerous times [first on VHS then DVD, now BluRay] and wished I could have been. With Van Zant on vocals, 3 lead guitars wailing, and Artimus Pyle on drums, like WOW. Superb doesn't even do it justice, given the quality of that performance.
A band that impresses me, with its ability to cover Lynyrd Skynyrd songs well, not to mention Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, etc, is Gov't Mule. If you ever get the chance, go see them, they're quite good and know how to put on a great show... IMHO, given all the live clips on You Tube I've watched.
