[Troubadour]

Awww, Happy Birthday to all, but especially to Roger Taylor! He's always been a cutie. I'll always treasure my very brief encounter with him! He looked like a rock star - long black coat, black shades indoors, a beautiful woman on his arm - but he was polite and courteous.

Dang girl!!! Do I know that story? I just don't feel worthy next to you! :laugh:

[Freypower]

Happy birthday to my main man Sir Mick! I love this video...

[Troubadour]

Dang girl!!! Do I know that story? I just don't feel worthy next to you! :laugh:

You've spoken to Levon Helm on the phone. That one thing matches up to all of my experiences, IMHO! :faint:

I think I told the story a little while ago. It was while I was working at the theatre. I'd met Brian May quite a few times, but this one particular night there was a special show because it was either the 5th year of the show, or the anniversary of Freddie Mercury's death. I can't remember which. Anyway, there were a few famous people there (Ben Elton, Paul Young, Brian May)... I'd hoped Roger Taylor might be there, but there was no sign of him. He didn't come to any 'normal' shows, like Brian did. I was working on the kiosk in the foyer - very glamorous, of course! - and when everyone had gone back inside the auditorium, after the interval, I was counting up the money alone. I happened to glance up to my left and I saw Roger Taylor, as I said earlier, dressed in a long black coat with black sunglasses, walking down the steps towards me, with a woman. I nearly died! He stopped and said "Hello there." Then he asked if he could go straight in to the VIP suite, which was right next to my kiosk. (Who was I to say no? :lol:) Anyway, just as he asked, a security guy came out of the suite and beckoned Roger in. Roger said thank you to me and went on inside. Very brief, but cool. I didn't expect him to be there because he didn't really attend the theatre like Brian did... So it was a big surprise when I saw him walking down those stairs! He definitely gave off more of a rock star vibe than Brian May - but that was probably the way he was dressed, and the fact that I wasn't expecting to see him - but he was polite and seemed like a nice guy. He went on stage with Brian May and Ben Elton towards the end of the show to say thank you to the cast and the audience. I can't remember exactly why, but I remember thinking that he must have had one or two drinks in that VIP suite between the time that I saw him and the time he went on stage! The audience loved it, anyway.

[Brooke]

Mick-67! Unbelievable! Happy Birthday to him! He's still struttin' his stuff!

Fp, that video was great! Mick in all his struttin' glory! :lol:

[TimothyBFan]

I do remember that story now. I have a friend on Facebook that LOVES Roger, I need to tell her that story! BTW--Brian May is a Facebook friend of mine and HE'S the one that requested me! :hilarious: We have a couple mutual friends on there and I'm sure one of them suggested he add me because of all the musical stuff but pretty cool anyways! I think I even archived the email that said "Brian May has requested you as a friend". I'm so pathetic! :hilarious:

Richard Wright of Pink Floyd would have been 65 today. We lost him to cancer just 2 years ago.

This is beautiful!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohJmA5kxXnc

[Brooke]

Wow, that was just beautiful. Rip Richard.

[Troubadour]

Very cool, Willie!

Thanks for posting that video. I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan. I still can't quite believe Rick is gone. He always seemed like such a gentle, kind-hearted man, and of course, he had enormous talent. Here's to Richard Wright. :cheers:

[TimothyBFan]

I'm sure Brooke is all atwitter today since it's Geddy Lee's 57th birthday!! Did you guys know she loves Rush? :lie: Geddy--one of the most recognizable voices in rock!!

My favorite Rush song!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDRPtg0kmJU

Patty Scialfa of the E Street Band also turns 57 today.

[Brooke]

I'm sure Brooke is all atwitter today since it's Geddy Lee's 57th birthday!! Did you guys know she loves Rush? :lie: Geddy--one of the most recognizable voices in rock!!


:lol: Yes, TBF, I heard that this morning and nearly choked on my cereal! You know, I know he has a beautiful voice, but I just ..........I dunno! My husband doesn't like them either.

[Freypower]

My husband worships Rush but I don't really get them. The only albums I put on my iPod are Test For Echo & Feedback which is an album of 60s covers plus a couple of separate tracks (Animate, Roll The Bones, One Little Victory). I suppose if I had a favourite of the songs I do like they are Driven & Resist.

[Prettymaid]

It's kind of sad to see this old video and then learn that he's turning 63!!!
Nothing against Rick, it just makes me feel old!

Happy Birthday!

[Brooke]

He can still rock. I saw Rick and Johnny Winter about 3 years ago and they were really good.

Happy Birthday Rick!

[Troubadour]

A belated Happy Birthday to James Hetfield! Metallica's S&M album is sublime - I don't know how you cannot be moved while listening to the blend of hard rock music with the exquisite playing of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. Truly awesome! It gives me chills every time I listen to it. Hetfield's vocals are so powerful.

A very, very Happy Birthday to Mr. David Crosby for tomorrow! I still can't believe that I saw CSN live just a few weeks ago. They were spectacular and Crosby's voice is just on another level. Indescribable!

"Everybody goes yeah... BASH!" LOL. There's more than enough Pagey in here for you too, Willie. When I was about sixteen, I used to watch this DVD all the time. I thought Robert Plant was one of the hottest guys I'd ever seen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flcF4vNa61U

[TimothyBFan]

Oh my---I just licked my monitor!! That whole guitar part at the beginning of the song. :drool: The blood pressure just went up big time!! Love Song Remains The Same. Just had to invest in my 3rd copy of it after wearing the other 2 out (had help from my daughter also). I do believe you and her have that in common!!

I may as well do this as I'm here. August 31 is Van Morrison's 65th birthday.

This is a particular favourite of mine with Brian Kennedy on backing vocals and if the female saxophonist is Candy Dulfer she is genuine (compare Heat Is On video...) Happy birthday Van! Rock that gypsy soul!

Does anyone have trouble with these videos playing? I'd love to watch them, but lately they take forever to play and I can't wait forever. They stop and start and mostly stop. Any ideas what I can do to remedy this?

[tequila girl]

I'd love to know the answer to that too Brooke - it takes about 30 minutes for me to watch a 4 minute video :-(

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow - that's too bad ladies. Is it any better if you go directly to YouTube and watch them? I have problems occasionally, but it is usually because I need to reboot my pc. After I do that, I'm usually okay.

[tequila girl]

Wow - that's too bad ladies. Is it any better if you go directly to YouTube and watch them? I have problems occasionally, but it is usually because I need to reboot my pc. After I do that, I'm usually okay.
No, it makes no difference at all Dreamer - in fact I think i've discovered the reason.

I was just on the phone to my brother who lives about 60 miles away telling him to watch a particular video on you tube - it was 9 minutes long, we both started at the same time and he had viewed his while I was still less than a minute in :eyebrow: :-(

I'm assuming it's because where I live is a very heavily populated area whilst he lives in the country - just not enough bandwidth to go round I guess! :computer:

Apologies for going off topic!

[sodascouts]

Try pressing "play," then immediately hit the "pause" button, letting the light red bar run to the end. After it's reached the end, hit "Play" again. This often works because the file has been put into your temporary cache.

Be it a hot guitar solo:

[AmarilloByMorning]

and of course must not be missing My favorite song from Mike and the Mechanics
OMG, The Living Years is one of the only songs that make me choke up. The video just kills me. "Every generation blames the one before, and all of their frustrations come beating at your door." He really cut a nice solo career for himself.

Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon turns 59 today.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-mw1HGJjdA

[Prettymaid]

:applause: A birthday boy from Illinois! REO Speedwagon was a bar band in Champaign/Urbana, IL in the seventies, unfortunately before I got my fake ID. :blush: Since then I've seen them a bunch of times. We like to think of them around here as a local band gone big. They're going to be in Effingham, IL on Dec. 3. I'd love to see them again.

Happy birthday Kevin! Here's one of my favorites.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTBoxSrIZhs

This is a long one, but I put it up because he mentions Champaign, IL in the intro.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BIY58XKYEk

Pm, I fake ID?! You were a very bad girl! :lol: JK!

I love REO, too and saw them in the 70's at a nearby college, but don't remember a thing about that concert other than standing in line to get in! :rolleyes:

There is a Soundstage dvd of them that I saw a couple months ago and it was really good.

Weekend birthdays....

Tomorrow, John Lennon would have been 70. WOW!

My personal favorite.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqP3wT5lpa4


I also have a confession to make. A lot of you have learned over the years I've never been a big fan of The Beatles. But I have to admit, I've got a new found, shall we say, fondness for John Lennon's work. I started listening to a few of you hear and had hubby start putting on some of the Beatles & Lennon albums and gotta say, some really good stuff! SOME of it. Maybe I'm mellowing out as I get a bit older. :hilarious:

Also, John Entwistle, of the Who, would have been 66 tomorrow.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVl39LBZGMw

And yet another HUGE talent, Jackson Browne will be 62 tomorrow.

I've included the lyrics. I defy you to find a more positive break-up song! Giddyup!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYwSAIKlkeI

It's been a long time since I watched these lights alone
I look around my life tonight and you are gone
I might have done something to keep you if I'd known
How unhappy you had become

While I was dreaming of you
With my heart in your hands
And I was following though
With my beautiful plans

Yeah now I'm rolling down this canyon drive
With your laughter in my head
I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
'cause those dreams are dead
And I'm alive

I want to go where I will never hear your name
I want to lose my sorrow and be free again
And I know I've been insane
When I think of places I could have been

But I was dreaming of you
With my heart in your hands
And I was following through
With my beautiful plans

Standing here by the highway side
Watching these trucks blow by
Inches from my face
Yeah thinking 'bout the time I've wasted
And the pleasure we once tasted
Looking up and down this road
I've been here before
Can't be here no more

Yeah now I'm rolling down California five
With your laughter in my head
I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
'cause those dreams are dead
And I'm alive

Hey look at the way I believed in you
And loved you all these years
Now you can fill a swimming pool with all my salty tears
you could have told me what was in your heart
but baby you lied
I thought that it would kill me
But I'm alive
Yeah, I'm alive



With my heart in your hands
And I was following though
With my beautiful plans

Yeah now I'm rolling down this canyon drive
With your laughter in my head
I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
'cause those dreams are dead
And I'm alive

I want to go where I will never hear your name
I want to lose my sorrow and be free again
And I know I've been insane
When I think of places I could have been

But I was dreaming of you
With my heart in your hands
And I was following through
With my beautiful plans

Standing here by the highway side
Watching these trucks blow by
Inches from my face
Yeah thinking 'bout the time I've wasted
And the pleasure we once tasted
Looking up and down this road
I've been here before
Can't be here no more

Yeah now I'm rolling down California five
With your laughter in my head
I'm gonna have to block it out somehow to survive
'cause those dreams are dead
And I'm alive

Hey look at the way I believed in you
And loved you all these years
Now you can fill a swimming pool with all my salty tears

but baby you lied
I thought that it would kill me
But I'm alive
Yeah, I'm alive

You met Julian? I really liked him back in the 80s when he started in the business. He seemed like a pretty cool guy on top of being talented. Have to admit, I've always felt a bit sorry for him since it seemed he kinda got the shaft from his father and Yoko.

When I knew him he was still at school 15-16 ish he was friends with the son of people I worked for

What can you say about John Lennon? Such a legend. My Dad was a big Lennon fan. I remember him playing "Imagine" while lying in bed every Sunday morning. We played it in the church at his funeral.

PM, I am enjoying the current JB-love you having going on! I'm with you. He's amazing. Such a gorgeous vocalist and lyricist, and he seems like such a sweet, humble guy. He's not bad looking, either. ;)

I am finding it so hard to believe that John Lennon would have been 70 years old today. I've been watching some of his videos to celebrate his life. What wonderful music-what an incredible person and musician! I can still remember being 12 years old in 1964, and the great excitement of watching the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show! The whole family gathered round that little black and white TV!:)

As for Jackson Browne, he is another great favorite of mine, and it's very special that he and John Lennon were born on the same day.
Happy Birthday, Jackson!
And thanks to all who posted JB and JL videos!!:thumbsup:

The music doesn't get much more "pure" than that performed by Greg Lake in "Lucky Man". Just vocals with a lot of "space" and an acoustic guitar. No place to hide when singing and playing like that.

Happy Birthday Neil! :birthday: What an awesome talent you are!

Thanks so much for those videos, Louise. They are wonderful. Heart of Gold is one of my all time favorite songs. I think it has one of the most clever lyrics ever: I'm a miner for a heart of gold. And it takes me back to my high school days and some very special memories. Whenever I hear it I remember.......:)

You know, there are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many talented musicians in the world. Since I do not have one ounce of musical talent I'm just blown away by them all. But especially those from my younger days. I think the 60's and 70's were a time never to be known again as far as the music scene. So much talent came from that era. I just can't think of anything of recent years that compares to it. Like they say, how many artists of today will be remembered 30 or 40 years from now? Not very many in my humble opinion. :shrug:

[Freypower]

Love you Neil. The best concert I ever saw, back in 1985 when I was front & centre. The first half was all acoustic (including the late Ben Keith on pedal steel), then he drawled 'goin' off to see a man about a horse' & came back with Crazy Horse & blew us away with the electric stuff.

Gordon Lightfoot was also one of my favourites in the 70's we don't hear anything of him over here now - I thought he was dead :blush:

[Prettymaid]

TG, after reading your post I did some research. In 2002 Gordon Lightfoot underwent surgery for a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm, enduring a six week coma and a tracheotomy. He underwent four surgical operations and remained in the hospital for three months.

In 2006 he sufffered a light stroke during a performance that left him without the use of his middle and ring finger on his right hand. For a brief time he used a substitute guitarist for more difficult guitar work, but by early 2007 he had regained full use of his right hand and plays all of the guitar parts in concert as he originally wrote them.

In February 2010 Gordon was the victim of a death hoax originating from Twitter. He quickly dispelled those rumors by reporting that he was alive and well. He continues to perform today.
----------------------------------------------------------

I had no idea about his health. I, like you, mostly listened to his work from the 60's and 70's. I heard he was going to be in the Chicago area this past October and expressed to Hubby that I would like to see him, but we didn't go. I'd like to see him soon.

[tequila girl]

Thanks for the info Cathy :thumbsup: I still have a cassette tape or two of his that I play.....not very often, but when I do it's like it was just yesterday!

Glad to hear he's recovered from his illness/s and is still going strong! :)

[GlennLover]

I had tickets for his concert here in 2002 which, of course was cancelled. At that time I never would have thought that he would ever be performing again! He was back here last year some time, but I wasn't able to go. :-( Still hoping to see him sometime. He's a survivor!

[Brooke]

Wow, Gordon is a survivor. I didn't know all that either. Thanks Pm!

John Denver would have turned 67 today. I still love to listen to his lovely songs. I'll always miss him, but his music will live on forever.

[Troubadour]

Julie... thank you, thank you, thank you. I will never get over how beautiful that song is. Rick's vocals are so heartfelt. And he is so gorgeous in The Last Waltz. Sigh. I can't watch this DVD enough.

Happy Birthday, Stephen! I love this guy so much. Amazing guitar player, lyricist and vocalist. As much as I admire the other guys in CSN, Stills was always my favourite. His voice here kills me.

I've seen Paul Young twice. Once in his own concert on the tour around the time of No Parlez and then at Live Aid (Wembley Stadium 1985). Both were very good by him. :)

[AzEaglesFan]

I don't know where he would fit in but
Kid Rock is 40 today. Love the his song "Pictures"

[Prettymaid]

I work with someome who just loves Kid Rock! I'll have to let her know. She really likes this song.

And of course I love that he was on Expando!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DQup4hd1_o

[MikeA]

Kid Rock. Okay I confess....I like him too. There's some mud in them vocals of his.

[Brooke]

I'm not a fan of KR, but I really do like some of his songs. I really liked that one Pm, and also All Summer Long. As long as I don't have to look at him!

I've seen a couple more on CMT. :shock: I like his voice, but not the way he acts. He hosted one of the country awards shows and acted terrible. It's amazing how so many rock artists are trying to immerse themselves in the country genre. KR, Sheryl Crow, Darius Rucker, Bon Jovi, Eagles, :wink: , VanZant (parts of Lynyrd Skynyrd and 38 Special) even John Fogerty. I'm sure there are more, but those are off the top of my head. Country is so popular that I guess they think they will get more airtime if they can get on shows like CMT and GAC.

That would be I!! He is in my top 5 favorite vocalists!! Love this man's voice.

I was so busy yesterday, I didn't even check my RNR birthdays. When I saw this this morning, I was devastated I had missed it.

Here is my all time favorite song by him. His voice is so freakin' amazing!! You'll have to double click it to see it. Please do-it's so worth it!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn560Wesh-4

This is a great version of Goundhog Day with Stevie Ray Vaughan's band Double Trouble.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D-Qov92W00

And here's the one that launched his career and the song that I remember hearing on the way to work one morning and hearing the DJ talking about the voice coming from a 14 year old. I went out and bought the cd 2 days later.

Koala, I like Phil Collins too! I've seen him solo and with Genesis, and always enjoyed the concerts so much.
Happy Birthday, Phil!:birthday:

[Prettymaid]

My my my, Jonny Lang can play that thang! I like his voice too; however, the first video didn't seemed to be mixed well. The instruments and the backup singers were louder than his vocal.

Did I mention that the guy exudes sex!

Happy birthday Jonny!

Koala, I like Phil Collins too! I've seen him solo and with Genesis, and always enjoyed the concerts so much.

Cathy, I have certainly been very fortunate to have attended the concerts I have, and seen the artists that I love so much! Funnily enough, right now I don't have any plans to see any concerts, but I am HOPING to get a last minute ticket to see Elton John in March! (on his birthday too!:partytime:)

Koala, I saw Genesis about three or four times, in the mid-eighties and early 90's. I saw Phil twice-during his "But Seriously" tour and during his "Dance into the Light" tour. All those concerts were fantastic!:thumbsup:

Great video! GNR was a great band. It's a shame they couldn't have gotten over all of their issues and stayed together. I firmly believe if they would have kept at it they would have been in the same league as Zep and the other legendary hard rock bands.

I still love The Monkees music too! I was crazy about Davy Jones when I was ten years old :laugh:!

[tequila girl]

Just a little tidbit of info about Peter Tork that some of you mightn't know....I didn't 'till I read it a few days ago..........Graham Nash was turned down for the Monkees and it was him that recommended Peter

edited to emend.....

I've read so much about so many people lately, I could be confused, and now I can't find the piece I was talking about......So, Soda could well be right when she says it was Stephen Stills, not Graham Nash......I bow to her greater knowledge....Sorry!

[Prettymaid]

That's funny...I remember hearing that Steven Stills was turned down too, but not for Peter's part.

Willie, thanks so much for posting these videos to celebrate Billie Joe's birthday! I had never seen the version of "Good Riddance" from Neil Young's Bridge School concert, and it was great to see it! I hope Green Day play there again and I get to see it. I think they first played there in 1999.

[sodascouts]

I have both Micky Dolenz's and Davy Jones' autobiographies - from what I remember, it was Stephen Stills who auditioned and got pretty far but was ultimately turned down because he didn't have good teeth. When told the bad news, he recommended Peter Tork as someone with similar talents and a prettier face. ;)

And love the Green Day videos! This one really moves me:
