Jimi Hendrix & other stuff...

Greetings Worlds !!

It's bright & breezy day here in England..... which is kind of good, even tho' I'm not actually going outside !!  Well, not if I can help it, at least.... I have enough problems coping with my "indoor" World - with-out going out into another Universe altogether !!

B has just left with J - who has an appointment in town, between 2 & 3pm...... it's a lot quicker for her, or us, to drive him in.  It takes us 30 minutes, where as the bus is at least a 2 hour ride !!  Crazy - anyways, I've written about all of this before... so, moving on....

With B & J out... and ME being at work, I have the house to myself !!  With, of course, one cat up on the bed !!  It wouldn't be normal, if at least one cat was... um, "resting" between it's meals !!  Oh well..... I'm here on my own & the music is turned down to deafening !!

In the post, this morning, I had a copy of Jefferson Airplane's 'The Worst Of...' - so, that's what is blasting away at the moment.  It's just a replacement for an old Lp..... so, that's good.  I'll never be able to replace them all, but an odd one, now & again is good enough for
me !!

Also, this morning, my friend from South America looked in.... but, I had tried to e-mail him earlier, as I wasn't feeling too good & it seemed a shame to spoil his visit.  But, I wasn't quick enough - he was at the door as I sent the mail !!  Never mind - he understood how i was & left after a few minutes.  He only lives a few hundred metres up the road, so he didn't have to go far !!  We'll meet up again soon.... I just couldn't make it this morning.

In the meantime, he has left a Zeppelin Lp, for me to put onto Cd for him.  I'll have a go at that later..... when I can concentrate a bit
more !! It's not going to be any problem, I just need to get my head around it !!

Last night - later than I had hoped, we had a visit from our friends in Church - read yesterday's post for details - and it was good to have a little chat.  Nothing came out of it, other than to arrange another visit on Monday of next week.  I'm sure the "going to Temple" subject will come up.... but, that's for next week !!

Oh well...... I will let you know what happens......

I, at last, have another Zeppelin concert.... well, 2 actually... from New York's Madison Square Garden.  They were both recorded on September 19th 1970 & came about when the group used to do an afternoon & evening show, at the same place, on the same day.  As time went on - they just did 2 nights, rather than busting a gut doing 2 shows in the same place  a hour or 2 apart !!  Anyhoo - the tracks are:

Afternoon Show:

CD 1

1) Immigrant Song
2) Heatbreaker
3) Dazed & Confused
4) Bring It On Home
5) That's The Way
6) Bron-Y-Aur
7) Since I've Been Loving You
8) Thank You
9) What Is & What Should Never Be

CD 2

1) Moby Dick
2) Whole Lotta Love
3) Communication Breakdown

Evening Show:

  1) Introduction
  2) Immigrant Song
  3) Heartbreaker
  4) Dazed & Confused
  5) Bring It On Home
  6) Tribute To Jimi Hendrix
  7) That's The Way
  8) Bron-Y-Aur
  9) Since I've Been Loving You
10) Organ Solo
11) Thank You

CD 2

1) What Is & What Should Never Be
2) Moby Dick
3) Whole Lotta Love
4) Out On The Tiles
5) Communication Breakdown
6) Gallows Pole
7) The Girl Can't Help It
8) How Many More Times

Yes, I know - I forgot to mention it..... yesterday marked the anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's death.  Go shoot me, I honestly forgot !!  So - by the time of the evening show - given that America is 5 hours behind England - the news had broken & hence, there was a little tribute to the guy.

I actually prefer the 2nd concert of the 2... for me it has a lot more depth & fun to it - the first show (to me) is very much by the numbers.  Oh well... more another time - but, don't buy bootlegs !!  Buy the official stuff !!

As for my plans, for the rest of the day.... well, I'm going to listen to the rest of this Cd & then give the Zeppelin Lp a play. I've not heard it in a while, so.... it might be fun !!  But, for now - I will away... so, I thank you for logging in & taking the time to read my words... until next time..

Bye Bye
