What "old" bands have you just discovered?

2) Old Rod Stewart, back when he did his own songs instead of covering everyone else's



Check out some of Rod's work with Jeff Beck Group on Truth and Beck-Ola, which were Rod's introduction to North America. Jeff Beck is one of my favourite guitarists.

His first three solo albums were all great:

The Rod Stewart Album,
Gasoline Alley and
Every Picture Tells a Story

Shortly thereafter, he went disco and Hollywood (Do Ya Think I'm Sexy) and became a crooner :(

Is it me or did that guy's voice smooth out over the years. Maybe all that air through the windpipes eroded the rusty ten penny nails. that was one pissed off frog in that voice:D

Well, I didn't just "discover" them, but I just got another chance to see Van Halen live. Never thought I'd get a chance to see them again. Dug out all the old Van Halen music and got the Best of Both Worlds CDs. They're still one of my favorites and Eddy has still got it.

I got to see Cream perform live!


And you might be able to again.



Which lead me to remember Blind faith and Stevie Winwood....and Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin'" with Stevie on vocals...one of my favourite songs of the 60's.

Yes, but in 1967 it was at my college end-of-year ball with all of 300 people in attendance. I don't think a mega concert in the Albert Hall will be quite so, well, intimate somehow.

It took me decades to hunt down a band called "Babe Ruth", and I finally got a compilation CD last year. Thank heaven for the Internet!

Too Fast For Love has some original tracks that were put on the EP that was released under Leathur records. Toast of the Town was one of them which happens to be one of my favorite songs.



Ok, after you mentioned this (however long ago???) I finally got the "Too Fast For Love" CD today, which includes several unreleased tunes... including "Toast of the Town" - I'm really liking that song too. There is also a video included of "Live Wire" and I can't say that I mind watching the boys in their cute little leather outfits. :$>:( Nice CD... I love Motley Crue's first two albums, and I'm loving the extra tracks on the CDs. :)

Some of us were around when the "old" bands were new.

I got to see Cream perform live!



Bless you Kallend ! Never saw Cream, or Jimi, or The Doors, but I did see Janis when I was 13 years old. $4.50 for a 3rd row seat ! Shredded my 8th grade mind beyond repair. By 1970 I'd also seen the Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead. The Dead were still in their twenties, played in a small college basketball gym and dosed the audience with jugs of electric apple cider. Then they played 'til 3:30 in the morning. I was just 15 and was so totally grounded for the rest of the year (Thanksgiving 'til Xmas).

Also saw Cab Calloway, just months before he died. He was recovering from a broken hip and had to stay seated on a barstool while he led his band. But he was still swingin' and dancin' on that barstool and the whole theater was roaring the choruses of "Minnie the Moocher".
