Led Zeppelin & Gov't Mule

Well..... greeting's !!

It's another Friday, here in the homestead & despite many thoughts, against the subject, I'm back again !! It's been a while, since I last put finger to keyboard - somewhere around the 30th of last month, I think. Ok - I've gone longer - between posts - but, this has been the hardest !!

I won't bother you all, with the sordid in & outs..... but, I've had to do a lot of soul searching, on my part, over the last few weeks. I've tried hard, to put things to rights - between our Son & myself..... only to have it kicked back, into my teeth...... so, I've kind of given up, on that front.

There is only sooooo much I can do & I've just about done it all now. I should of moved out of here, back in 2013, when I had the chance........ but no, I gave in & boy, in his case, do I ever regret it !!

I have considered moving, this past week or so - but that's not fair on B - My Wife & Dearest Friend. Had I moved out in May - 3 years ago...... well, maybe that would of been easier - but, at the time, I was too much of a push over..... oh well, "Such is life" !!

Anyhoo - I've given up on my Son...... as per his wishes & now I'm concentrating on what's left of my family. B.... the M & M's plus HJ. If J wants back in, that's going to be his choice - I can't do anymore, than I have done, so............ my life will go on !!

Talking of family, I'm home alone - listening to music & having a good time !! At the moment, I'm playing a "new" bootleg by Led Zeppelin, recorded at the Capitol Centre, Maryland on February 10th 1975. This was given to me, earlier in the week - and, as far as soundboard recordings go, it's really good !!

As always, don't buy bootlegs - there are plenty of people, out there, who will give them to you - you just have to ask nicely & maybe you'll get lucky !! I'll do the tracks, on another day.... not today tho' - as I have been very naughty........ to explain !!

A week ago - last Friday night, B drove me up to see Gov't Mule, at the O2 Academy, Bristol - they were brilliant, they truly were !! How was I naughty - well, I did a Mike Millard & used my wheelchair to smuggle in my tape deck & mic. Ok - I was naughty - but I've already ordered up the official recordings, that the band are going to release..... sooooo, until then, I'll have my own recording to play !!

It was really loud - too loud, but all the same, my little mic and tape deck did me proud !! Everything came out really well..... very easy on the ears - the tracks are:

  1) 32-20 Blues
  2) Wandering Child
  3) Child Of The Earth
  4) Temporary Saint
  5) Game Face
  6) Forsaken Savior
  7) Million Miles From Yesterday
  8) Whisper In Your Soul
  9) Monkey Hill
10) Soulshine
11) Funny Little Tragedy
12) Bad Little Doggy
13) How Many More Years
14) About To Rage
15) 30 Days In The Hole
16) Mule
17) Beautifully Broken
18) Railroad Boy

I'm having problems, with reading the screen today, so I'm sorry for all the cock ups I'm probably made, along the ways of writing these words. It seems like forever, since I last looked at the screen in such detail !!

One thing, that I will admit to - the Mule actually made me cry, when they played 'Beautifully Broken'. I can't explain, what it it is, about that song, but bugger playing it for the ladies - you made this old fart cry like a baby !!

Right - Zeppelin are on 'Dazed & Confused' - and as B has now come home from shopping, I better think about turning everything off..... for now at least !!

This is not the best post, that I've ever written, but - it won't be the last...... I'll make sure of that !! So - for now, I thank you for your time & I wish you all well.... until next time....

Bye Bye
