Watch Jon Spencer get shirty with Jackie Chan at the end of this Miller Draft Blooze Explosion on French TV. The blues, if you didn't already know, is no.1!

Reminds me of days gone by in the Town Hall Thurso.

Just got a photo of a band called the Jam taken in 1968 in Thurso town hall. Johnny Gray(crooked Jack), Graham Walker(ex Gary Moore/Blodwin Pig) and J.Fats. Those were the halcyon days of Thurso rock.

Hi what & when did Graham Walker play with Gary Moore? Just very interested as a bit of a Mr Moore fanatic, I know he went through many artists as he is a hard man to please, He had a great line up at one time with Ian Paice, Neil Murray & Don Airey, I remember J Fats over here for an orkney mates birthday they had a jam in one of the pubs i carried down an amp for them it was well worth it to see them play unforgettable night

Walker played with Gary Moore at the time of Still Got the Blues and subsequent albums. Did the Albert King tour etc. He is making a rare appearance in Dunnet Head Lighthouse in November where he will be playing with J.Fats and Son, Isaac. A night of blues and jazz. Thanks for the kind word about Coop's birthday. A great night, what I can remember about it.!!!!

The J.Fats band is just about ready to start gigging again. Can't wait.

I'll keep you informed. Tell Coop we've got Tony Macphee coming up on the 30th September.

I never thought Jon Spencer and Gary Moore would get mentioned in the same thread together, but there you go.

And what's this - the J. Fats Band about to start gigging again? Did they ever stop? Has Mr. Sutherland reconsidered his semi-retirement status? Bring it on...

Hawkwind
Status Quo
Queen
Australian Pink Floyd
Santana
AC / DC
Roger Waters
Roxy Music
The Damned
The Clash
Tangerine Dream
Weather Report
Van der graff generator
Ian Dury and the blockheads
Jethro Tull
David Essex (yes! David Essex! surprisingly good live)
Dire Straits
Wings
Culture Club
Black Sabbath
The Who
Uriah Heep

too many to list but those are a few of the really good uns.

I'm not even that a big fan of theirs but after seeing them live at the Nou Camp in Barcelona with 80,000 other people, I have to say no band on Earth put a show on like U2.

[the_big_mac]

Would've said Metallica at Download Glasgow, however i was totally blown away by Machine Head that day :cool: .

Their energy was simply amazing, especially given they was first on, and, well i was still sober at that point ;) .

Pantera are also sooperb live.

[moncur]

Milli vannilli were ace live!

[Jeid]

Stevie B is a huge fan of Milli Vannilli

Syd left many dark moons ago, and Roger Waters is the spiritual home of the true PF, imho.

[maidencaithness]

A few highlights from many years of headbanging:

Iron Maiden too many to list
White Zombie at the Barrowlands in 96
Machine Head at Barrowlands in 95
Almighty several times in Barrowlands always AWESOME
Warrior Soul several times and always up for it
Whitesnake when they had Moody & Marsden

and pick of the bunch of late was David Gilmour at SECC in May

BTW if anyone is going down to Maiden at SECC next month I have a spare "First to the Barrier" pass. Where they let 160 punters in before doors open to public so you can get right to the front and have the nice bloke behind you piss down your leg coz he doesn't want to lose his place! You MUST have a standing ticket which if you want one will set you back about £75 on ebay, gig has been sold out for months and band are in top form.

PM if interested and it's free

Prove it.... ;)


No, you disprove it.

:lol:

Gotta say that I saw Jethro Tull at the Tarlair Music Festival in 1994 or 1995 or thereabouts. They put on a fantastic show, very down to earth despite it being a festival crowd.

But not quite as good as AC/DC.
