(Whaaaat?!!)
3) The late, great Barbara Thompson, saxophonist
4) Pere Ubu (see above... or maybe don't see). They did a lot of gigs at Max's Kansas City, according to these same records... one of my very favourite bands back then produced perhaps their most famous album from a recording made here: The Velvet Underground "Live at Max's Kansas City"
5) Emerging talent? Colour me blank; I'm an old fogey now...

There are a few there I will have to look up now. I'll let you know how I like them.
Welcome to Subsim Captain Jeff. Nice to have you aboard.
You have seen a lot of great concerts, no doubt. Pink Floyd was before my time but I think most people who aspire to be artists and musicians are not looking at the rubbish " music " of today but looking back to older music that featured true artists and musicians and music writing with some thought behind the songs.
If you go to youtube and put in " Brit Floyd and Pink Floyd " there are so many videos there it would take a month to see them all.
I wanted to feature a " new " artist I found Years ago. In post # 6, I posted a video of Joe Satriani playing " flying in a blue dream "
This is a video of emerging talent, Jack Thammarat playing the same song. Jack plays almost seamlessly and his legato and string bending techniques are as good as Joe Satriani's. Jack felt confident in this video to improvise on the song as well.
