I love Japanese Rock music and watch the local NHK network to catch some of the performers. I had seen this group before in a live performance aired on, IIRC, J-Mello, a sort of fan show on NHK. Good choice... :up:
I have a strong appreciation for rhythm sections, bass and drums, because, for so much Rock, Blues, R&B, and other Pop forms, if you don't have a solid rhythm section, you've got nuthin'. I particularly appreciate drummers since theirs' is an extremely physical art; add to that the fact they are almost always posted way in the background and have to lug around a goodly mass of hardware, and the drummers lot is not a particularly happy one. At least not until they get to cut loose. The following clips are of Steve Moore ,aka "The Mad Drummer", whose astounding abilities on drums has made him now a sort of go-to among other drummers:

Last Thursday, Sept. 27, saw the passing, at age 76, of Marty Balin, one of the lead singers (with Grace Slick) of Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship. His recording career started back in 1962 with a single I Specialize In Love, which I actually remember hearing on the radio:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBz8nJ9ricE
Its hard to belive the same singer who recorded the above pop song in 1962 would by 1965 be one of the founding members of the Jefferson Airplane holding his own against the powerful voice of Grace Slick and forming an incredible singing duo on stage:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsDdJWn55G0
Balin was also known for some of the Jefferson Starship hits:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m8izf-oXY4
He had a unique voice in 60s-80s rock and will be long remembered for his contributions to the "San Francisco Sound"...
RIP, Marty Balin, and many thanks...

The clip is from one of the many "Beach Party"-based films titled Pajama Party. That is Candy Johnson off to the right on the stage; the singer is Donna Loren, who was being groomed as the next big singing star and she did have a modest bit of fame at the time. The dancer, later in the clip, doing the slow motion grind dance is Susan Hart, who was sort of the sultrier offset to Candy's frenetics. Hart was also the wife of the President of American International Pictures, the company that produced and distributed all the "Beach" movies. The chief choreographer for most, if not all, of the "Beach" movies was the famed David Winters and many of his student were dancers in his routines. Toni was an assistant to Winters, thus she was responsible for a good many of the routines in those films; this was also the reason she was featured in some of the numbers; Teri Garr was, and is, a close friend of Toni and also the reason she was featured in some routines.

Killing Floor - Woman You Need Love (1969)
Just stating facts...
The clip you posted reminded me of the Howlin' Wolf song, Killing Floor:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOEildgmwNQ
As noted in the comments on the clip, there seems to be suspiciously similar to a song Lec Zep claimed as their own, The Lemon Song; Wolf and his publishers did sue LZ over copyright infringement and the case was settled with Wolf getting a good-sized payout, a co-writer's credit, and mailbox money for the remainder of his life...
Eric Clapton, while still in Cream, had been working hard on trying to work out a guitar arrangement for hir trio setting and had had no success; imagine his astonishment when a new guitar-slinger from the US not only had a trio arrangement worked out, he had down with amazing technique; Clapton and the Yank became fast friends...

Ah, zeppelins again being a little dishonest.
The song I posted; " Woman You Need Love" is Willie Dixon's song and not surprisingly it also has a "zeppelin connection". Whole Lotta Love's lyrics largely originated from Dixon*s "You Need Love". though the song was initially credited only to zeppelins.
There was also a lawsuit filed in 80's.

Yep, and LZ just the other day had their verdict of 'not guilty' in the case of plagiarizing the main riff of Stairway To Heaven tossed out by an appeals court and will have to go back to court to defend themselves again. The situation reminds me of a story told about Dustin Hoffman when he starred in Marathon Man opposite Laurence Olivier: Hoffman, a method actor, had a scene coming up where his character was to be shown as exhausted, so Hoffman ran, full tilt, around the film location site several times; Olivier came out of his trailer to find an exhausted, disheveled, sweaty Hoffman at the bottom of the trailer steps; Olivier said "Dear boy, you look a sight! What on earth happened to you?" Hoffman explained how he was prepping for the next scene; Olivier listened patiently and said, "You know, Dustin, you should really try acting the part. It's so much easier...". LZ probably should have tried just actually writing all their own songs: it would have been so much easier...
I was once talkingg with a young African-American guy who was trying to break into the music business and, like so many kids, had a bit of a disdain for "old music" and "old musicians". He was asking me about Rock music and its origins; in the course of our conversation, I brought up Willie Dixon and his many, many contributions to all forms of music; after I had rattled off a long listing of songs written by Dixon, preformed either by himself or others, songs on which he had either produced (he was the house producer for Chess Records) or was session player, and the long list of performers who recorded his works, the kid was shocked and said "Wow!! Willie Dixon invented Rock and Roll!!..."...
Willie, in his late 60s til his death, used to make regular appearances on a weekly Blues program here in LA on a local NPR radio station. He didn't perform, but he did discuss his life in the music world. What was really amazing was his ability to remember details about the sessions he produced/performed on/wrote down to specific musicians, dates, and other minutiae. He was one of the sharpest people around. When he won his case against LZ, he took the money and started a non-profit foundation, Blues Heaven, to help aging Blues and R&B artists who were ailing and/or were trying to get royalties owed to them; he also instituted educational programs for aspiring musicians; His widow eventually bought the Chess Records Building to serv as the Blues Heaven headquarters. Willie was an all around class act...

That was a lesson taught to us German guests. Almost profesional dancing and singing done.

The Tijuana Brass (TJB) number was originally recorded by Herb Alpert in a home studio he built in his garage and he played almost all the instruments himself and shopped it around to local LA DJs; it became a local area hit and he rerecorded it, using studio musicians friends (some form the famous Wrecking Crew) as an off-the-books, under-the-table, non-union session where the musicians did their work for very little pay; the song became a huge hit nationwide and Alpert, when he received his first royalty check, immediately wrote checks for union scale wages for the musicians in the sessions and he also went to the union and disclosed the "scab" session and offered to pay the union fines...
Although there was no actual TJB band, Alpert assembled a group of session musicians to meet public demand for performances by the TJB; it is also interesting that there were no Mexican or Latino members in the TJB: Alpert was a Los Angeles-born descendant of Russian Jews and the session players in the TJB were mainly of Italian or Jewish descent...

The two California themed songs eisenwurst posted made me think of a couple of other songs from California-based artists in the 60s that also had gifted female vocalists, specifically form the Laurel Canyon Scene. Laurel Canyon is a mountain pass connecting the Hollywood area of Los Angeles with the LA communities in the San Fernando Valley. THe southern end, in particular, with its proximity to the Sunset Strip and the general Hollywood scene, was very popular with a lot of the musicians in the 60s & 70s:
Laurel Canyon found itself a nexus of counterculture activity and attitudes in the mid-late 1960s and early 1970s, becoming famous as home to many of L.A.'s rock musicians, such as Frank Zappa; Jim Morrison of The Doors; Carole King; The Byrds; Buffalo Springfield; Canned Heat; John Mayall; members of the band The Eagles; the band Love; Neil Young; and Micky Dolenz & Peter Tork of The Monkees. Tork's home was considered one of Laurel Canyon's biggest party houses with all-night, drug-fueled sleepovers, well attended by the hippest musicians and movie stars of the era.
John Phillips of the Mamas & the Papas took inspiration from their home in Laurel Canyon for the song "Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming to the Canyon), released in 1967.
In 1968, John Mayall recorded and released Blues from Laurel Canyon based on his experiences on a vacation earlier that year.
Famed photographer Henry Diltz was also a resident and used the scenic Canyon backdrop for many of his historic photos of rock musicians casually socializing. Several of his photos became iconic representations of the 1960s and 1970's West Coast music scene and many others became famous album sleeve covers (such as CSN's debut album: Crosby, Stills & Nash - photographed in nearby West Hollywood).
Joni Mitchell, living in the home in the Canyon that was immortalized in the song, "Our House" (1970), written by her then-lover Graham Nash, would use the area and its denizens as inspiration for her third album, Ladies of the Canyon (1970). Crosby, Stills, and Nash are reputed to have first sung together in her living room.
Musician Josh Tillman has said that his output under the moniker Father John Misty was partly inspired by a relocation to and personal reinvention in Laurel Canyon. The song "I Went to the Store One Day," from his 2015 album I Love You, Honeybear, recounts the story of how Tillman met his wife, Emma, in the parking lot of the Laurel Canyon Country Store.

Prior to the occupation of the canyon by musicians, the area had been the home to a large number of celebrities and movie stars from the 20s to the late 50s; many old mansions existed til recent decades that were owned by the ikes of Errol Flyn, Houdini, Boris Karloff, and others; I actually got to go to the Flynn mansion (or what was left of it: it had been subdivided into smaller units) when a bartender from the Whisky invited me over to her place in the mansion after closing time; Flynn's place was known as a party house back in the day and she showed me some of the little secret places from which Flynn would reportedly spy on his guest's raunchier activities...

Poor Karen Carpenter. She had a lovely singing voice, and fame and all that. But from what I understand she had other aspirations and wasn't allowed to pursue them.
She became very unhappy and developed a few problems which eventually led to her early death. Very sad.

Mine is an estate/station(?) and so does not have the Activa system. There are two Breaks/estates that have been converted to it in Germany i know of, but it's already enough Citroen grande complication for me lol.
Still have to conserve some areas before winter comes. Despite the general zinc plating the Heuliez points were not treated well enough :hmmm:
@Catfish
I agree, its handling characteristics have a good reputation. Very unsurprising, even on a loose gravel it just goes like a train. Mine is model 1996 "automatique" and been within my family since brand new. Driven only 107 000 and treated well.

@ propbeanie: Welcome back to the thread! Just a couple of days ago I was wondering where you had got to...
I was waiting to see if any would make a post noting the passing of Tony Joe White, a singer/songwriter/producer who made a bit of a name for himself as a singer and contributed to the careers of other very prominent artists:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Joe_White
His biggest hit as a singer was this little ditty about a Southern USA delicacy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCSsVvlj6YA
My boss at the rock club I worked at in the mid-late 70s, who was from the Louisiana countryside and was very familiar with the traditions down South, told us about how the song was actually a misreading of the actual name, poke sallet. The poke refers to the pokeweed, a wild plant found in the South and is sort of the South's version of the Fugu fish: unless you know how to prepare either, the results can be fatal. Pokeweed, raw is highly toxic and it is recommended you wear gloves when picking the plants. In order to make it edible it has to be washed and cooked several individual times. The sallet does not refer to 'salad', but is a Cajun term for cooked greens, so the title of the song actually refers to cooked pokeweed...
Of course, if the poke sallet didn't kill ya, the gators might (Chomp! Chomp!), or, maybe worse yet, Annie's Ma might git ya, a wretched, spiteful, razor-toting woman...
RIP Tony Joe...

Over the last few weeks, I had this sense of deja vu and I couldn't quite put my finger on the whole feeling; then I was walking home from the pharmacy a bit back, (you know, the one that blasted 24-hour-a-day Barry Manilow music on its outside speakers to shoo away the riff-raff) and I walked by a building that had once, back in the late 60s, been the Aquarius Theater, the West Coast home of the stage musical Hair. I've walked by that building hundreds of times and never gave it a second thought, but I was stopped short when I noticed something different: the theater had the old Aquarius name back on the marquee and the show listed was Hair. On top of that, the theater building had been repainted in all its 60s glory with its original murals:

A couple of days later, I walked by again and found the walls and lampposts festooned with flyers which were facsimiles of the sort of postings you would find on Sunset Blvd. back in the day; it was all very realistic. There was a security guard posted on the sidewalk and I asked him if there was a film being shot at the location; he said there was and it was a Quentin Tarantino production, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. The film centers on two characters who are swept up in the Manson Family-era of Los Angeles in general and Hollywood, in particular:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_in_Hollywood
When I looked it up, I found that my sense of deja vu was due to the glimpses I has gotten of the various locations here in Hollywood that were restored to their 60s conditions. This blog entry gives a good description of some of the location sets used in the filming; a description of the Aquarius makeover starts about half-way down the post:

Living in Hollywood, streets or building being used a sets nothing new to me; once, I walked a couple of block west of my place, turned the corner and found myself on a street in Pakistan; the block had been transformed for an episode of one of the NCIS Tv shows...
In honor of the return, if only briefly, of the Aquarius, here are a couple of songs from the musical Hair:

Ya young whippersnappers!! Got no respect fer yer elders!!...
One of the advantages of being older than sin (and twice as bad) is being present at the time when a lot of what later generations consider 'their ideas' were actually born. Iggy was punk long, long before John Lydon was 'discovering' or 'creating' punk rock. This is a picture of Iggy, at a concert in 1970 (48 years ago!!), having waded out into crowd, being held up by the outstretched hands of the audience. He continued to sing from his perch and waled further into the crowd on the fan's hands, more 'crowd walking' than 'crowd surfing':
https://inktank.fi/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/iconicmusicphotos.jpg
Here is a clip of Iggy at the Cincinnati Pop Festival 1970, the event where the photo was taken; Iggy's crowd surfing is near the end of the clip:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFVPyRDmEZ4
Iggy lived here in LA for a good while and even performed at the rock club where I worked in the mid-late 70's. His performance was pure Iggy and, at one pint, when he saw a broken piece of glass on the floor, he picked it up and cut himself several times on his chest and continued singing with the blood slowly oozing down. It was in LA where both he and Bowie faced up to their out of control drug habits and began to get a better grip on their personal behavior. Iggy stooped performing and, like Bowie, tried to find a more "normal" lifestyle. There were rumors about in the rock underground in Hollywood that Iggy had actually taken a job at a bagel place working in the kitchen, but left when word got out about his gig. Both Iggy and Bowie moved to West Germany, went to ground, and supported each other in their efforts to clean up. The clip I posted before of Funtime was from the period immediately following their return from West Germany and Bowie was trying to make Iggy much better know than before; Bowie essentially viewed himself as Iggy's 'sideman' and sought to keep the spotlight on Iggy. The clip is from the old Dinah Shore Show, an afternoon talk show then aimed mainly at the housewife set. Here is the full clip with the interview of Iggy and Bowie; its interesting as a piece of music history:

BTW, if you're going by how long ago someone started, remember Bowie released his first single in 1964...

Ya know, reviewing the video there vienna, and the recording is almost stellar. Look at the era, and the sound of the kick drum and cymbals. Excellent engineering. Notice also that they use SM57 mics. Whenever our band tried to do that, it resulted in disastrous audio, full of pops and plosives from the minimal windscreen on the mic heads. 'Course, they do have the other back-up vocalists turned-down (except maybe in the monitor feed), so that might explain a lot... :har:

The Beatles - Yer Blues
Back in the late 90s, there was strip club I used to go to here in Hollywood and one of the girls I knew there used to ask me about which songs I thought would be good for her. The girls did three song sets and one of hr go-to's was Bad to the bone, so I made here a mini-CD with that song, a second song I can't remember at the moment, and The Beatles Yer Blues. Being a young thing, she wasn't sure The Beatles song was such a good idea; I said Trust Me". She performed the set, and, when Yer Blues came on, even the guys usually glued to the pool tables and video games woke up and gave her good tips...
Just another example of how I have pleased women is oh so many ways... :D
Here's Yer Blues live with John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Mitchell from The Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus show:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fj4aJ8R0k2Y
One of Lennon's great qualities as a songwriter was his willingness to put so much of his own personal emotions into his songs. No where was this more moving than in his two songs about his mother, Julia, written a few years apart and expressing Lennon's coming to terms with her death:

Hey, in the late 90s, I was in my late 40s and most of the dancers were about half my age and their taste in music barely went back over a dozen years... :haha:
The all time classic stripper song was David Rose's The Stripper form 1962:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXnGgxbur7w
The lady shown in most of the black & white photos is the late, great Gypsy Rose Lee, arguably the all-time Queen Of Burlesque; the color pictures of Natalie Wood are from a movie musical (from a Broadway musical) of Gypsy's life titled Gypsy. I recall, when I was a youngster, growing up in San Francisco, Gypsy had a morning talk show and I was a faithful viewer; one of the funny things she would do is she would sometime knit while interviewing guests...

The last clip makes reference to Jr. Walker playing the sax solo on Foreigners' song Urgent. A couple of weeks ago, on Steve Jones' radio show, Mick Jones made a appearance and said Foreigner had heard Jr. Walker play at some gig and approached him to play the solo; Walker agreed and did a few takes of the solo; after Walker left, the band took the various takes and edited them together to make the final released solo...
Years later, according to Mick Jones, both Walker and Foreigner were in the same city and Foreigner asked him to play the solo live at their gig. Walker said yes, but asked for a tape of the song so he could refresh his memory of the solo; the Foreigner members gave him a tape of Urgent, but were reluctant to tell Walker the recorded solo was actually a compiled edit of various takes he had done. That night, Walker came on stage and played, note for note, the exact solo as it appeared on the record. Jones said the band was floored by how Walker was able to quickly listen to, absorb, and play the solo...
