The discussion about the price of concert tickets, etc. on the gig thread made me think of this guy.

Matthieu Chedid comes from a musical family and is first and foremost a brilliant guitarist. He does stuff with his dad, brother and sisters as well as various other collaborations.

Early on in his career he created "M", a stage persona which he uses for most of his concerts.

He plays a lot of small venues (I saw him in St Malo in a 900 capacity venue) and almost never takes more than 30€ for a ticket.

Here he is in Brittany at one of the biggest festivals in France, where he's accompanied by the newly recruited Gail Ann Dorsey on bass. He certainly knows how to milk a crowd!

Here's the same guy in collaboration with a group of musicians originally from Mali. It was him that brought them together - collaboration/sharing is really his thing. I can't see past him.

Last night I laid on my bed for around an hour and a half, headphones on and listened to "The lamb lies down on Broadway" all the way through. I was transported back to my bedroom in Leith, my 17 year old self doing exactly the same thing. How many of today's 17 year olds will be still listening and loving their sounds 49 years later?

I mind buying that when it first got released. It got lost over the years though.

Can't agree. I don't believe the majority of today's youth are into music as much as we were.

I know that my 2 teenage daughters are music daft as are their friends that I know.

In addition, the advent of streaming and effectively having whatever you want to listen to available at any time can widen folks' horizons - and not just kids.

My younger lassie (14 today) is big on buying CDs, and her more recent purchases have included Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones. When she arrived home from school last night with her headphones on, I checked what she'd be listening to on the school bus - Breton trad! On top of all that she's up to date on all the current stuff that I have no idea about.

OK, my daughters (& myself) play instruments too, but even so and from what I've seen, their non-playing pals are into their music every bit as much.

Ah ok. I've 4 kids ranging 18-40 and whilst they listen to music there's no way I could say they're as into it as I was. Seems like computer games and social media are more important nowadays.

Saw the year and tried but failed thru my usual 'provider'

Worked at CBS cassettes and CDs here in Haarlem years ago and ended up running off slaves from masters in the copying riom. This Cyndi song is burned in my brain cos the first 5 seconds was constantky audible from the QC boorhs nearby. And fkn Final fkn Countdown from Europe and Born in the fkn USA from the ffn boss. 5 secs can fk u up.
 
I appear to be watching a band on BBC 1 called the 1975.'1975' the year why punk happened in 1976.A year when Slik,Sailor,Rod and Bay City Rollers and Leo Sayer topped the charts.When 'Are You Being Served 'was top of the ratings with the 'Generation Game' and if I remember rightly James Callaghan was PM after the miners brought down Heath.This lot have been listening to AWB, KC and the Sunshine Band and 10CC.
