The Vital Villa Music Thread

I had a Bowie night at work on Tuesday I started at 19:00 and played him solid until 04:00 by that time I need a change.

So many amazing songs....
 
Saw Jack White live last night. Nice small venue (The 02 Birmingham).

What an absolute privilege to have see that. It was immense. Like a two hour jam session of great musicians. Proper dirty blues and rock guitar work, superb drumming and the bass was had a right groove on. Two sythn players also. It was just a stunning concert. Right up the front as well.

Ranks as one of my favourite concerts.

I take it Meg White wasn't drumming? I made that assumption by the "superb drumming" quote.
 
Caught my 16 year old daughter listening to this classic. She found it herself without my suggestion :clap: Can't persuade her with the football but pleased with the job done regarding music. She's developing great, eclectic taste like her dad :smoke::whist:

 

Greta Van Fleet. They are an absolute rip off of Led Zeppelin but I'm really enjoying listening to them
 
While I was listening to Sharleen Spiteri and Seal, my 25 year old daughter was searching You Tube for some Robert Johnson.

Album No. 9 Next - The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. 1973

iu


By late 1974, with puberty in full swing, TOTP and Radio 1 had been augmented by the NME and Old Grey Whistle Test as sources of new music.

By the time I got to this album, my introduction to the legendary Alex Harvey, it was almost a year old. I first saw them performing the title track live on the OGWT and was immediately blown away by the mix of glam rock and vaudeville theatre, delivered with a menacing, don't mess with me sneer, by the 40 yearold Glaswegian veteran of the rock n roll era.

Harvey was a truly unique artist, who with SAHB, before his untimely death in 1982, produced 4 or 5 excellent albums and created an entertaining and charismatic stage show, whose influence can be witnessed in later artists from Nick Cave to Madness to Blur.

A legend, although not quite "The last of the teenage idols" Certainly one of my most important early influences.
