HSR 286 Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 More can also be good... Recall seeing Thor & Manowar at Rock City... I'm sure there had to be an element of comedy...? On a side note .. More, were a very good band, opened Donnington ' 81. I will always have a soft spot for NWOBHM. Indie labels and DIY. A very healthy scene.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That reminds me of the tragic day when the pub underneath the Rotunda, The Mulberry Bush, was bombed along with another pub on New Street. We had been in the Rotunda a few hours earlier having our final interview to emigrate to Australia. We left the UK almost a year later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IAN FINN 817 Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Rainbow Valley. Love Affair one of my 60s favourites played it many times at Belle Vue stock car racing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mess 624 Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Ian, I was quite indifferent when Love Affair came along in the late 60s but I've since come to really like them. Steve Ellis has a wonderful voice. He had a nasty accident some years back that took him a long time to recover from. https://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/leisure/17841234.singer-one-covered-songs-history-tells-battled-back-horrific-accident/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,734 Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 Arlo Guthrie is the son of the late great Woody Guthrie. Now retired..he's a songwriter probably most famous for 'Alice's Restaurant' ..though he also wrote 'City of New Orleans' and other songs. Alice's Restaurant is a humorous take on his experiences with 'The Draft' during the Vietnam War..and how his recruitment to the US Army was affected by his 'criminal' record.... but with a very serious punch line. It was released in 1967 and was a big hit.. also made into a film..which I saw at the cinema. Worth 18 minutes of your time if you've not heard it ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,734 Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 I saw Love Affair at the Beachcomber as Everlasting Love was climbing the charts. There's is a great version.. but like most of us at the time I had no idea that it was a cover of this, the original Robert Knight version..which only made No. 40 in the UK charts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry DJ360 but Steve Goodman wrote City of New Orleans, he died from leukemia at the young age of 36 in 1984. Arlo Guthrie was one of many that have covered this classic his best version was with Shenandoah. Others that have covered it are the Highwaymen, Willie Nelson, John Denver, Johnny Cash and Judy Collins to name but a few. https://youtu.be/OfxoM6trtZE for Arlo Guthrie with Shenandoah which I think is the best version https://youtu.be/e4ztWNJYFrU for the Steve Goodman version and an explanation about him writing the song.

MargieH 7,613 Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 That video was weird Enigma. I couldn’t get rid of it off my screen then it just showed the words ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’ over and over again. I didn’t like it when it wouldn’t go away.....
