Bit of Mike Oldfield for me today.
Five Miles Out, not the typical Oldfield effort but my favourite. I recall an interview at the time he said he was quite into the sound of heavy rock and that had quite an influence on the album.

I listened a bit of Chicken Shack today. OK Ken.
I remember seeing them at the Marquee club in Wardour Street just after Christine Perfect had left them to change names and join Fleetwood Mac.
As she was in the audience, Stan Webb was trying to get her up on stage but I guess she couldn't/didn't as she was contracted to F Mac 🤷♂️

Brilliant. Saw them in concert once (performing Phaedra). Unusual but brilliant.
In the days when smoking in concert halls was allowed yet the cigarette companies were not "suppliers" that evening.
Couple of Moog banks set up on stage under dull grey'y blue lights. Performers walked on, sat down and player for an hour, got up and walked off, no clapping at any point. 15 mins later they walked back on, played for another hour, got up and walked off, no clapping at any point. End of concert. Stage lights didn't change atall.
And even the non-smokers were not needing alcohol ...
Probably one of my all time best concerts.

Gilmour has tremendous feeling for whatever song hes adding to. His remake of In A Broken Dream with Rod Stewart is sublime.

The Yes album famously reviewed with by Charles Shaar Murray with one word?

One of those players where there is no gurning or shape throwing just considered playing. I see/hear the same thing in Chris Buck of Cardinal Black. Gilmour has had a stellar career without being a household name.
Did anyone see Emily Beard on Later? Talented to say the least.
