Scrolling above a few posts .
The Bangles . . Wow!
They are awesome! Underestimated their talent. They can't possibly be the originals. They look great!

Another diva for you Ray...

Renaissance live in concert.

Annie Haslam was operatically trained and one of the greatest rock divas of the past 50 years.

And John Tout was also a classically trained pianist who rocked the house down with his amazing riffs. Sadly he passed away a few years ago. We'll never see his like again

Enjoy the concert... I know I am...

Certainly a high class singer and keyboarding high class. However I find it hard to get into Renaissance. Too folky for me.

Another diva for you Ray.

Thanks for the thought

The first two minutes of the song was recorded using just an iPad (with apps, and as a midi-controller)
RnL & Jordan Rudess

If you appreciate tight music with great chord progressions and a beautifull sound, check out more of Project RnL @ Youtube They come from Israel (apart from Jordan obviously.. )

Really nice. Yes.

 

[Rayblewit]

Just gorgeous

Feeling a bit nostalgic myself this AM.

The late, great Joe Cocker with Mad Dogs and Englishmen...

Blame Gary for this, he got me feeling nostalgic as well - in another thread.

Another great Aussie band....

Midnight Oil...

Trivia:
Did you know thar Peter Garrett (front man of Midnight Oil) became a politician and had the power to pass a bill through parliament to offer free household insulation to all aussie homeowners. The progam got scrapped after a few years since cowboy installers got themselves electrocuted by touching live wires in roof cavities.
Anyway he quit politics and Midnight Oil has just reformed. Not sure if it is a permanent reformation or temporary.
Wikipedia has other interesting facts and information about Garrett including a knighthood.
An interesting and talented person.

Great track Gary.
Have you heard "beds are burning?"
Even better.

My personal favourite from the legendary Oils:

A couple more blasts from the past.

A couple of my favorite bands from the 80's...

New Order

And Simple Minds...

[CowboyNQ]

While we're all looking back, I'm going to reach further back into the past...one of the all time great rock bands.

What a vocal performance by Ann and what a tight group of musicians!

 

[Becky]

 

[CowboyNQ]

That is a great track Becky. Somewhere buried deep in the comments section there I asked him how long it takes him to set up his boards, about three years ago or more I think! I can't even remember the answer - suffice to say it was a bloody long time!

 

[CowboyNQ]

Becky has inspired me with her sharing of that great Kebu vid. I also really love Gattobus - this guy is a serious synth genius. Listening to this makes me so happy.

 

[Rayblewit]

Jan Hammer is working in a pentagon of kb's. Amazing set up Becky.

The daft punk track is indeed a cheerful tune. Nice one Cowboy.

Happy music / happy days -ray

 

[happyrat1]

That's not Jan Hammer. That's a Scandinavian Synth Cover Artist named Kebu. I've seen his stuff before.

Gary

 

[Rayblewit]

That's not Jan Hammer.

Yes! Becky's You tube clip even says Kebu!
Impressive nevertheless.
