First saw Rory Gallagher on Sight and Sound in the seventies when I was a kid. Been a fan ever since, brilliant musician who did loads to bring the Irish people together during the Troubles by playing gigs despite the dangers. Oh and Million Miles Away is a classic
Not everyone’s taste, but some great guitar work... I must admit I prefer Tommy Emmanuel’s albums, but this is a lovely arrangement.
I didn't really warm to this when it came out. Probably because it wasn't 'old' AIC. Funny how it grows on you.. awesome tune
Forget tunes, here's a a proper soundtrack. Video of the lovely sounds from my 790 Bonnie with Norman Hyde Togas, 1200 Harley-Davidson Bobber with open pipes and finally my 6.0 V12 Aston Martin. Enjoy!
I'll see your Led Zep hair and raise you a pair of Nazareth perms with a side of Zappa moustache, delivered in a suitably named song.
You cant raise against Led Zeppelin - its against the law. Especially a rare track that never appeared on an album - that’s the hole grail.
I realise this may be a bit controversial for some but it reminds me of a time when this country was a powerhouse. If you don't like to be reminded of our empire days, don't watch.
Hahaha, fine riposte! That was one of my dads favourites, except the version he liked was a skiffle cover by Lonnie Donegan
As an American, I completely embrace nostalgia for Britain's greatness. As a country and as an Empire they've done far more good for the world than they've ever done bad. I'd also prefer us to have a strong ally than a weak one.
Apparently Neil denied the political message and said it was just a good story/lyric for a song. Not sure I believe him, and it’s too late to ask now.
