I’d like to share something I’ve seen on TV since the Christmas days …
There was an action here to help the homeless because of the cold weather.
One of them, a tramp with an almost invisible face of beard and dirt, was asked what the reason was in that state, and so on.
Accordingly, he pointed to some reasons that led him to this state.
The last question to him was what was the big (it sounded like his last) desire, which he wants to be realized.
And the answer was: I want to go to a concert of Deep Purple…
This post is especially for this spirit that you either have or not!
Stormbringer are such a awesome track, and if i ever get my hands on a time machine, going back to the early 74ties to go to a concert of theirs are high on the list.
And it should be okay as in 1974 for instance i was just 8 years old, so no chance of running into myself and create a paradox.
I have been listening to DP since 1978 or so, cuz that was the right stuff to grow up on.
I am thankful for being born at the right time just before the birth of rock music.
My earliest music memories were my older brothers playing their Elvis and Cliff Richard and The Shadows records. I remember when I heard the Beatles for the first time on the radio, and soon after that, the Rolling Stones.
The great thing about that time was that we listened to the great rock legends while they were still alive.
We anticipated the release of their new albums and couldn’t wait to buy them.
Sadly, we also read in the news when they died, like Jimi, Janis, Jim Morrison,and John Lennon.
We also discovered a lot of these bands when they released their first album.
Discovered this little gem last week. This track is very well produced and includes some nice low end bass, in addition to being a decent song. For this reason, it is often used to audition speakers, assuming you can find it on a CD or get a hold of a lossless version.
Been a huge fan of Canned Heat since the late 1960’s. This classic lineup was my favorite. Bob “The Bear” Hite, Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson”, Henry “Sunflower” Vestine, Larry “The Mole” Taylor, and Adolfo “Fito” de la Parra. Can’t forget Harvey “The Snake” Mandel when Henry left the band.
This is one of the many tunes I loved by them.
Another version of Walking By Myself done live by Gary Moore. Great version!
Have this album in Quad version first one that made my JVC 4VR-5446 receiver light up the CD4 indicator.
Thanks for the reminder of needing to give it another listen.
Wow! A quad system. That technology didn’t last long. I went to a stereo store in the early to mid 70’s that had a quad system setup. It was pretty impressive.
