The TIPF Album

[Korky]

Sometimes, it takes a cover version of this quality to make you realise what a great song it was in the first place.

 

[Black Pearl]

Really lovin' this at the moment:

 

[JohnP]

I'm sure many of you will not enjoy this but I'm quite a fan of Sonny Landreth.

 

[Black Pearl]

And for a bit of a change - Daft Punk - Giorgio By Moroder - a tribute to the electronic/disco giant Giovanni Giorgio Moroder
 

[Leon]

I'm either uneducated or too young for this lot.....anything after 1985???  (I was 9 then)

I keep this bookmarked as I never tire of it, I saw Dire Straits several times in the past, also Mark Knopfler four times since Dire Straits disbanded. The same can be said for Hank Marvin both with and without The Shadows several times. I expect the younger members will think what an old fuddy duddy...

When I was much, much younger I wouldn't have been caught dead with a Hank Marvin track playing. Now I've grown up, I realise what a great guitarist he was.

 

If you haven't already, check out Mark Knopfler's album with Emmy Lou Harris - "All The Roadrunning'. On YouTube no doubt.

 

Such a great pity about Knopfler's headband!!!!

Korky... I have 'All The Roadrunning' on both CD and DVD, Mark doesn't need a headband these days as his hair as diminished somewhat.

After watching the BBC4 documentary about the great Nic Jones, I thought I'd post this.

 

Some may find it a bit of a challenge.....

That's the only track of his I'd got on my iTunes, by a weird coincidence.

[Korky]

The superlative version of a great song...

Nice to see some new additions to this thread. Two good choices there John & BP. I enjoyed them both.

'Mott The Hoople' was a local group and I knew the guitarist Mick Ralphs, we were both apprentice electricians in the 1960's and worked for the then Midlands Electricity Board (MEB). At that time he played in a group called 'The Buddies', another apprentice electrician based at MEB Leominster Depot was also a member of the 'Buddies', they did local gigs at weekends mostly. Mick Ralphs didn't finish his apprenticeship, he only had a few months to go but music was in his blood and he spent more time at work playing the air guitar than rewiring houses etc. He left the MEB to help form 'Mott The Hoople' and was lead guitarist, he eventually left the group and joined 'Bad Company'. I believe 'Mott The Hoople' have reformed to do a few dates later this year.

 

[ChrisLumix]

All The Young Dudes is a great song! And Mott The Hoople are/were a great band.

 

But (sorry) I couldn't resist this...

Yamaha (motorcycles) say there MT01 has kodo

Mindst it is a 1700cc V twin in a sport frame so I suppose it would pulse a bit

 

Just some useless triva of which I am famed for

It's amazing Chris Rea is still with us considering all his health problems which icludes pancreatic cancer in 1994.
