For me, the best produced, fun version of this song with expert input from the song atmosphere man and soloist extraordinaire, Mick (the talented) Ronson. Miss him as much as Otis 😢

My first ever gig was going to see Mick Robson. Got Slaughter on 10th Avenue and Play Don't Worry on vinyl.

You seen the documentary about Ronno on Yatube?

tbh jimmy if I Iike the music they left us or are making, that's enough. You can hopefully hear a bit of what they experience(d) in their life from their schtik and how they express it. That is what music really is ateotd.
 
I've just read the book The Spider With The Platinum Hair about Ronno as well.

Never really made much money in his life.

I like the production job he done on Morrissey's Your Arsenal album.

Thanks for posting that Jimmy.
Just watched it instead of going to bed.
Won't get up until 11 now and no doubt get a row of the wife :giggley:
 
Found an album on Spotify "Layla and other love songs-remastered" by Derek and the Dominos and just listened to "Have you ever loved a woman" seven minutes of Eric Clapton singing the blues and playing guitar so sweet you don't ever want it to stop.

It was first recorded by the great Freddie King in 1960 and I think Clapton started playing it in the mid 60's when he was in John Mayall Bluesbreakers before recording the version you heard in 1970.

Here's Freddie doing his short to the point version.
He also played long live versions of the song, like Clapton.

Clapton did a few versions of 'Rambling on my mind ' over the years but to me the best version was on 'Ec was here'
Just fabulous with him shouting key changes to the band
 
Also looking through my tape collection and came across Puccini’s version of Turandot which he was in the middle of writing when he died.You might know it for Nissan Dorma.
 
Ah right. I have a live recording of the and Cockney Rebel band.

I really like Cockney Rebel when they first appeared. Nae lead guitars.

Still listen to the first two albums a fair wee bit.
 
I didn’t know until today that Steve Harley had Polio.
Aye he walked with a limp. Seen Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel at the Leith Citadel.

The Serious Moonlight tour i think it was called. Sailor were the support act.
 
Just discovered a new band (to me) thanks to Shazam."The bright light social hour" and their 2010 self titled album.
Absolutely love it so downloaded it and the next 4 albums. As is usually the case with me I lose interest after a band's early offerings.

Anyone else know of this band? First two albums superb then after that you might as well stick Deacon Blue on as that's how the sound went.
@Jack K any thoughts?
 
What do you think @Peevemor ?

Would sound decent with massed pipes? Or just go going solo?
Maybe a bit obvious and been done many times already.......:102:

Although I've never played it, it's been done loads by both soloists and bands, ranging from crap to OK.

Dougie McLean has written and recorded some great stuff over the years though.

I've never heard of them BK. The poster Two Headed Boy might be able to give you a better steer although as things stand you appear to be the Bounce expert on The Bright Light Social Hour.

48 years ago on this date Paul Kossof left the building.
Such a troubled individual with so much talent
