DP with Steve Morse should be a good 'un!

Ahh, Hawkwind... one of my faves is Chronicles of the Black Sword... has that ever appeared on CD? I remember taping a few tracks off The Friday Night Rock Show.

One of the best live CD's I've ever listaened to, just wished I could have been there.

I love the Elric books, Hawkwind just seem to have everything to portray the story. The best bit (In the show) must have been watching the fighters on stage, coupled with the music

Hence my name: One of the tracks is called NeedleGun

Yup, I remember it!

"It's a vaccination joy with the ultimate death toy..." or something along those lines.

I've noticed there's a DVD of a show, so I just might have to get that!

Steve Morse was with one of my favourite bands for years - KANSAS.
Never seen them live but I have a few imports.
I've seen all the other bands in this thread many times and during the 70's but if anybody has seen KANSAS then you have one up on me.

Ha! I went to the first one headlined by Rainbow

who were just awful. I seem to remember a 30 minute version of Since You've Been Gone with some short-haired git of a singer. 1980 I think and I then went straight down to Reading for the folllowing week.

That could've been Graham Bonnet.

Check what his most memorable concert was!

So anyone else going? I am. Queensryche will be playing also! Can't wait, takes me back to when I saw them at Monsters of Rock in 1991, with Metallica and AC/DC. Only a few days away now, hope the weather is ok :cool:

i'm not letting you get away with that.

one day of download this year is bearable, but that's all destroyed by the fact that Trivium are playing.

it's weird when opinions are so very wrong. i think it's a really well produced/written album, and it's got some really great songs on it.

I agree. I would say TINLTL is the favourite foos album for consistency, but the best tracks on TCATS were better than the best on TINLTL!

AJUK · 2 Jun 2006 at 18:07

It's tomorrow!

Can't wait, I am looking at the tickets on my desk in fornt of me, Made in Japan on at warp factor twelve in iTunes. Deep Purple are gonna show you pesky kids how it is done!

Sun, beer and excellent music.
Let's rock!

They're finally going to split?
They should have split after Burn.

(Perfect Strangers wasn't too bad an album though)

Rather strangely this current line up have been together longer than the original original, if you know what I mean.

Some of their later albums were pretty good and Gillan is doing some good stuff now. Check out Gillan's Inn recorded earlier this year.

That goes for a lot of 70's bands including Uriah Heep, Budgie, UFO, Scorpions etc.
The 'new' members have been with them a lot longer than the famous members.

I have the Gillan album but haven't give it a listen yet.

People mentioning Quo?

Saw them last year at Alton Towers at a private party.

They were fantastic.

One the greates live acts I've seen for entertainment value.

They also rip the **** out of themselves frequently during their shows. "This is one we released in the thirt...fifti...errrr...seventies!!"

Not too sure about the line up of the MoR though. Deep Purple are ok.. rest are.... mmmm not my taste I think.

Deep Purple are class and everyone must see them, Alice Cooper will be good for a laugh, Thunder were never that great but top marks to them as they are still cranking out the rock, Ted Nugent will be LOUD

(wasn't he once pronounced as the loudest artist ever), Journey are a little tame but are very good musicians and I must admit I know nothing of Queensryke. There is another band playing but I have no idea who they will be. Anyway, it beats watching footy down the pub.
