manonadune's musical ecstasies

Alquin were were one of the 70s’ best bands. This is a GREAT live performance of ‘Revolution’s Eve’ from 2003. 

Complex Hero Story - ‘(Just like) Starting over’  I would be surprised if I ever heard better cover of John Lennon - this astounded me the first time I heard it and continues to do so.

Still one of the most innovative, dark and daring shows ever on television. ‘Gangsters’ had a great theme song by Dave Greenslade. A vocal by Chris Farlowe was added to the titles in the second season. 

Buffalo Ballet - John Cale , with Chris Spedding on guitar.

‘Lift you Burdens Up’ - the Walkabouts - one of the greatest songs by one of the great bands

‘Don’t Look Around’ - the opening track of ‘Nantucket Sleighride’ by Mountain - one of rock’s true masterpieces.

‘Time Will Show the Wiser’ - a very young Fairport Convention cover Emmit Rhodes.

A unique line up of Fairport Convention with both Richard and Linda Thompson, play what may be the shortest version of ‘Sloth’.

a great 10 minutes ‘8 Miles High’ jam by the Byrds at their live peak.

‘Gibsom Street’ by Laura Nyro, one of the greatest songwriters who ever lived. ‘New York Tendaberry’ still sounds startlingly modern today. It is an album that you HAVE to hear if you love music.
