Al Stewart was born in Scotland in 1945. He recorded his first album, “<i>Bedsitter Images</i>”, in 1967 as part of the British folk-rock scene. His early albums included help from various musicians such as Jimmy Page, Richard Thompson and Rick Wakeman. His fifth album, “<i>Past, Present & Future</i>”, achieved some notice on the FM radio circuit in the USA. The influences of Bob Dylan and the Beatles were noticeable and was his most popular work at the time. The title referred to the historic figures written about in the songs, like Nostradamus, Warren G. Harding and others. The lush production made for an epic sound and is considered one of his finest works. Al Stewart reached greater fame with his next albums produced by Alan Parsons. “<i>Year of the Cat</i>” and “<i>Time Passages</i>” from 1975 & 1976. They both went platinum.</div>

Trower had recently left Procol Harum and wanted to form a new band. Together they formed Jude. It included Miller’s friend, James Dewar, from Stone The Crows and Clive Bunker from Jethro Tull. They disbanded before producing any recordings. Robin Trower and James Dewar continued on with great success and Frankie Miller went solo. </div>

Alvin Lee began his career as a musician while still a teenager in Nottingham, England in the late 1950s. He joined various groups with titles like, Vince Marshall and the Square Caps, Alan Upton and the Jail-Breakers, Atomics, Jaybirds and others. He played small venues from London to Hamburg for many years.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
He met drummer, Leo Lyons in 1960. Bassist Ric Lee in 1965 and Keyboardist Chick Churchill in 1966. Ten Years After was formed in 1967.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
The name was pulled by Leo Lyons from a magazine advertising a book, “Ten Years After The Suez”, (referring to the Suez Canal). The title’s ambiguousness appealed to the band because it didn’t pin them down to one style or another. </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
In 1969 they played at Woodstock and their performance of “I’m Going Home” was featured in the film and soundtrack. This catapulted them to superstardom. They broke up in 1975 after failing to reach the same sort of success and not being able to escape the limitations that their fame brought them. </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Alvin Lee recorded a somewhat country style album with Mylon LeFevre in 1973. He then formed a new band titled Alvin Lee & Co. in 1974, with ex-members of King Crimson and Stone The Crows. They released a live album, “In Flight”. </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
He toured once more with Ten Years After in 1975 before branching out into various solo and collaborative ventures. Alvin Lee died March 3, 2013. </div>

Lindisfarne was formed in the late 1960s as a folk/rock band. They had much success with their first two albums, <i>“Nicely Out Of Tune”</i> and “<i>Fog On The Tyne”</i>. Their next album, <i>“Dingly Dell”</i>, was not as successful. They failed to have a hit in the US and had differences of how the band should move forward. Three members left to form Jack The Lad, which had a more traditional folk sound. Alan Hull recruited new members and continued on as Lindisfarne with a heavier rock sound. Alan Hull, who was the main song writer, released a solo album, <i>"Pipedream”</i>. He continued to play with Lindisfarne and release solo albums until his death in November 1995. The band has recorded and performed in various forms since, but has never reached the level of success they had in the beginning.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">THE BEATLES AT THE COW PALACE 8/31/65</span><br />
<br />
Unexpected things are found when shopping at antique fairs. I regularly visit the largest one in Northern California. It is in Alameda and hosts around 600 dealers the first Sunday of every month. <br />
On one visit I found a dealer with some celebrity fan magazines from the 1960’s. They were the type that promoted music and TV pop stars aimed at a teenage audience. I saw a few with the Beatles on the cover. As usual, some of the pages had pictures of the stars cut out. One titled, “DATEbook” was in very nice condition. The owner had inked her name on the cover but the inside was uncut and had many nice photos and articles about the Beatles from 1965. I think I paid $10 for it. Not cheap, but being a diehard Beatle fan, I had to have it. There were some loose papers in it that I didn’t look at until I got home. At first they looked like some school essay and I was going to toss them in the garbage. The title, “HELP!”, caught my eye so I took a closer look. The five hand written pages were a description of a live Beatles concert from the same year. A few young girls had seen the Beatles perform at the Cow Palace, near San Francisco. It was the last show on their second tour of the US in 1965. Two of the girls who were there described it in detail. <br />
They wrote about the event in a way that could only be viewed by a teenager caught up in Beatlemania at the time. The girls give us a look into the minds of teenagers who screamed, cried and even fainted at a Beatles concert. They describe a frenzied atmosphere with many girls and boys attacking the stage and some even managing to get their hands on the Beatles as they performed. It is a time capsule of a phenomenon that swept the nation and much of the world.</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The Beatles are the coolest guys you can ever see anyplace. They give good performances. They just couldn’t be better. Call them Gear, Boss, Cool, Tuff, Neat, but they’re all that at once to Patty & I.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Of course you say you’re gonna be calm but when you see them you have to scream & just yell & everything that goes with it. </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The 8:00 performance is what we’re gonna tell about.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
As far as other performers, there were the 9 Disco girl Dancers, Sounds, inc. (Which gave a fantastic performance, Brenda Hollaway, King Curtis Band, Cannibal & The Head Hunters, who also gave a good perfornmance of singing & also a wonderful act. And of course The Beatles! John walked on stage, then George, Paul & Ringo. The whole audience was in shock from seeing the Beatles. </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Girls everywhere were screaming, shreiking, weeping, & sobbing.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Their first song was “Twist & Shout.” The audience went completely out of hand. On the main floor there were no more boys, just a horde of girls with their hands stretched out, waving, not caring about the song, just listening as Paul talked between each song.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
After about 10 min there was sort of an intermission but the Beatles remained on stage as the fainting girls were carried from the audience across the stage & into the medicare office. </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Girls tried to get on stage but the block of policemen kept them back. </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>When they were singing girls tried a new way to touch their idols. One girl pretended she had fainted & when she was being carried past Paul she jumped on her feet and put both arms around Paul’s waist while Paul kept singing. Slipping away from the10 sec. of the most important step of her life. She was taken to the medicare room.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>when girls had really fainted you could tell. They were listening, sobbing, slumping, walking past their idols without a thought of grabbing them, or touching them. Girls were in hysteria when ever a girl touched one of them. They all got their share. Not just Paul, George & John, but towards the end of the performance, when the policemen were carrying the fainting girls away, one after another, a boy jumped on stage up to Ringo’s platform, waved at the audience & then patted Ringo on the shoulder.That was the most exciting part because he got up without a fight. </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>When Ringo sang, “I Wanna Be Your Man,” Kathy and I could hardly stand it, the screaming roared to it loudest point of the whole performance.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Even the boys were going crazy. After it was over Dianne Stordart, Stephanie & Dorit Stoessen Patty & I were all talking to the boys who had touched the Beatles & they almost fainted, as they put it. But they couldn’t because they were helping the fainted girls up on stage. Even a little old lady was carried off from sure shock.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Hearing it and seeing it is a different story. You won’t believe it. Girls carried off stage with dresses and skirts almost off. But I guess the Beatles are used to it by now after almost three years being the most popular rock & roll recorders ever.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>No offence to John lovers, but John looked unneat last night as I was told later by front row watchers. But who cares as long as you see them.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>George’s hair is really the longest. It’s really too long. Paul’s hair is the neatest of all & Ringo’s is the shiniest. Stories by the same front row watchers that a girl almost ripped John’s shirt off and he hit her. But we all know it was an accident because John wouldn’t do an awful thing like that, now would he? Of course not. It was so wild I’m sure everybody would have fainted if they didn’t get out of that place. But Patty, Stepfanie & I were close but not close enough for us. When Ringo was singing “ I wanna Be Your Man”, I said “Come on Patty let’s go down to the isle, there no cops there!” So off I went with Patty & Stephanie behind me. We ran down until we were about 30 feet away from them. We could see the color of their eyes it seemed so close. It was just the most thrilling moment of my life! They sang:</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>It was just the greatest. The Beatles are really just the greatest guys ever. You have to see them on stage before you can say that truthfully, because they are cool guys & they are nice to their fans, they talked to their fans, mostly Paul, but they all introduced a few songs. </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I just wish everybody in the world could see how they perform because it’s just great. I’ll never forget the Cow Palace for bringing them back this year & they told the audience they would come back next year. Do girls, Do your best to get tickets for this 66’ performance. We sure are!</div>

The early 70s were an eventful time for George Harrison. He released his, “All Things Must Pass”, triple album in 1971. It established him as a major artist in his own right and brought him out from under the shadow of the Beatles. In 1972 he put together and fronted “The Concert For Bangladesh” with Ravi Shankar. Guests included Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Leon Russell, Ringo and many others. It was released in the movie theaters and played to millions of fans. </div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Times; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In 1973 he released his second post-Beatles studio album, “Living In The Material World”. His marriage to Pattie Boyd was falling apart around this time and she left him for his friend, Eric Clapton. In 1974 he started his own label, “Dark Horse”. He met his future wife, Olivia Arias, in the offices of his new company. </div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Times; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
In late 1974, the Beatles officially separated as business partners freeing each to work without legal ties to their past. He released his third post-Beatles studio album around the same time, also titled “Dark Horse”. He toured the USA and Canada to promote it. George was the first of the Beatles to go on tour. For this he put together a band, Billy Preston (keyboards), Robben Ford (guitar), Willie Weeks (Bass), Andy Newmark (drums), Emil Richards (percussion). </div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Times; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The shows included Ravi Shankar performing with 15 Indian musicians. Shankar conducted the band and occasionally played sitar. Billy Preston also shared the spot light and performed a few of his own songs. It suggested that George was not comfortable with his superstar status and preferred to be part of a group. </div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Times; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
His tour met with criticism due to the heavy use of Indian music and musicians. He altered lyrics to “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and “Something”, which met mostly with disapproval. He was suffering from laryngitis and his vocals were rough and strained. </div>
<div style="font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Times; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
During the tour, Harrison would see audiences that were indulging in alcohol and drugs. They showed no feeling for the message he wanted to get across. He felt no connection to the people who came to see him perform. He was tired from touring and later retreated to his estate to focus on gardening where he felt closest to God.<br />

<div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial;">By Michael Collins Morton</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial;">The untimely passing of Gerry Rafferty at the age of sixty-three, during the first week of 2011, provided a sad end to an uneasy life. Although the Scottish singer and songwriter, who was born in Paisley, Scotland, in 1947 and is best known for his hit, "Baker Street," seemed too young to depart from this world, he apparently had suffered too much from the ill effects of his stubborn alcoholism to remain here any longer. As his final years ran their awkward course, with reports of his frequent drunkenness appearing in the press, it became clear that even the undoubted strength of his abilities as a musician could not save him from the harm and pain of his private difficulties.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial;">Gerry Rafferty stepped into the musical limelight in the early 1970s, first as a member of The Humblebums (along with Billy Connolly, a fellow Scotsman whose name also became well-known in later years), and then with Stealers Wheel (whose single, "Stuck in the Middle with You," was a hit in 1973), but it was "Baker Street," an unforgettable song inspired by the city of London and released as a single under his own name in 1978, that changed his fate forever, bringing worldwide fame and a great deal of money. Unfortunately, the arrival of fame and money did not appear to result in true happiness for him. He soon chose to withdraw from the burdensome duties of being a celebrated musician, frequently seeking to hide himself in the unhealthy realm of alcohol.</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

</span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial;">The next time you happen to encounter the poignant strains of "Baker Street," a durable track that still receives regular airplay on the radio, spare a few moments to remember the melancholy spirit of Gerry Rafferty, the gifted man who wrote it and performed it. In spite of the deep problems that weighed upon him throughout his life and finally dragged him down, his distinct talent and honest expressiveness enabled him to reach into himself and pull forth a heartfelt song that continues to make a lasting impression on all those who hear it.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 14px;">by Michael Collins Morton<br />
<br />
Bert Jansch (1943 - 2011), the Scottish guitarist known for his work with The Pentangle and also for his standout work as a single performer, was generally acknowledged as one of the major figures in folk music during his lifetime. His rich style was derived from varied sources, but the fundamental integrity of his own talent always was uppermost in his music. In both his performances and his recordings, he gave the frequent and unmistakable impression that he played the guitar not merely for money or to dazzle his listeners, but mainly for the pure and private joy that it brought to him.<br />
<br />
Although he wore his fame lightly and never displayed any interest in being a superstar, his musical reputation carried a serous weight. From Donovan (who wrote two songs in honor of him, "Bert's Blues" and "House of Jansch") to Jimmy Page (who transformed Bert's rendering of "Blackwaterside" into "Black Mountain Side," a track on the first album by Led Zeppelin) to Johnny Marr (who described him as "an incredible musician, totally uncompromising as a person and as an artist"), well-known guitarists of several generations praised his deft touch on the strings and dutifully looked to him for guidance. Over more than four decades, his forthright music came to represent a studious honesty that stood on its own.<br />
<br />
Bert Jansch was born in Glasgow and grew up in Edinburgh. He took up the guitar as a teenager, learning quickly and steeping himself in the venerable traditions of folk music, and established a close friendship with another Scottish musician, Robin Williamson, who later founded The Incredible String Band. In the early 1960s, Bert Jansch began to perform in clubs throughout the United Kingdom. He also became friendly with a singer from Nottinghamshire, Anne Briggs, who acquainted him with folk songs that had a strong effect on his musical direction. His first two albums, <i>Bert Jansch</i> and <i>It Don't Bother Me</i>, were released in 1965. <i>Bert Jansch</i> included one of his most famous compositions, "Needle of Death," a song that he wrote after one of his friends was killed by an overdose of heroin.<br />
<br />
In 1966, Bert Jansch recorded <i>Jack Orion</i>, his third album, and <i>Bert and John</i>, an album that featured him playing his guitar alongside John Renbourn, an English guitarist. Shortly after, the two guitarists joined with Jacqui McShee (vocals), Danny Thompson (double bass), and Terry Cox (drums) to form The Pentangle. In May of 1967, The Pentangle made their first appearance in public at the Royal Festival Hall in London. Their first album, <i>The Pentangle</i>, was released in 1968, and featured a heady mixture of diverse elements, with the guitar and voice of Bert Jansch providing repeated highlights. <i>The Pentangle</i> was followed by <i>Sweet Child</i> (1968), <i>Basket of Light</i> (1969), <i>Cruel Sister</i> (1970), <i>Reflection</i> (1971), and <i>Solomon's Seal</i> (1972). During the same period, Bert Jansch released four more albums on his own: <i>Nicola</i> (1967), <i>Birthday Blues</i> (1969), <i>Rosemary Lane</i> (1971), and <i>Moonshine</i> (1973).<br />
<br />
When The Pentangle broke up at the beginning of 1973, Bert Jansch moved to a farm in Wales, seeking relief from the stress of constantly being on tour. He continued to record on his own, releasing <i>L.A. Turnaround</i> in 1974 and <i>Santa Barbara Honeymoon</i> in 1975. Both albums offered a venturesome departure from his earlier approach, and featured a hardy sound that leaned toward country rock. In 1982, the five members of The Pentangle joined together again for a performance at the Cambridge Folk Festival in Cherry Hinton, England, and then undertook a tour of Europe. When John Renbourn and other members later quit the band, Bert Jansch and Jacqui McShee persevered with The Pentangle, but in the late 1980s, Bert Jansch began to experience harmful effects from his many years of heavy drinking. As a result, he chose to stop his heedless intake of alcohol.<br />
<br />
In his later years, even as his health continued to falter, he maintained a busy schedule, performing and recording to the best of his considerable abilities. His final album, <i>The Black Swan</i>, was released in 2006. He toured America with Neil Young in 2010, and performed with The Pentangle in England during the summer of 2011. To the end of his life, Bert Jansch remained a musician of unquestioned devotion and understated stature: a humble alchemist of the guitar, steadfastly creating tunes of lasting magic.</span><br />

He put together a band, which included bass player, Carl Radle, from Derek and the Dominos. He added a back up singer, Yvonne Elliman, who had performed as Mary Magdalene in “Jesus Christ Superstar”, on album, film and stage. They recorded in Miami, Florida, and titled the album “461 Ocean Boulevard”, after the house they stayed at. The song, “I Shot The Sheriff”, by Bob Marley and the Wailers, became Clapton’s first #1 solo hit. In June 1974, Eric Clapton and his band began their US tour. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jon Mark and Johnny Almond originally met while doing session work on the album, “John Mayall’s Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton” in 1965. Johnny Almond also worked with Zoot Money’s Big Roll Band and The Alan Price Set. He recorded two solo albums in the late 60s and early 70s titled “Johnny Almond’s Music Machine”. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jon Mark had done some busking, (performing on the streets), with Alun Davies in the early 60s. They recorded one album together in 1963, “Relax Your Mind”. Alun later became Cat Steven’s guitarist and Jon Mark went on to co-produce, with Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithful’s first recordings. He played guitar on some of her songs and backed her live performances. He was very influential to her early sound. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jon Mark later formed Sweet Thursday with Nicky Hopkins and old pal, Alun Davies . They recorded one album. John Mayall, then looking for a new band, remembered working with Jon Mark and Johnny Almond and invited them to join. They recorded two fine albums, “Turning Point" and “Empty Rooms”. They found that they had similar musical interests and formed their own band. Together they recorded 6 studio albums from 1971 to 1978. Their music was very diverse, infusing folk and blues music with American and Latin jazz. At times expanding with an African beat, they took their music to new levels of creativity. Jon Mark’s delicate, introspective songs were complimented by Johnny Almond’s jazz / blues saxophone and flute. Their first three albums were popular on American FM radio. Mark-Almond expanded their audience with numerous tours in the US that led to headlining major concerts. At the peak of their success, they disbanded. Their last concert was at Bill Graham’s Winterland on November 3rd, 1973. I was there when they announced it was their last performance together. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jon Mark went on to record a solo album. Mark-Almond reformed in 1976 to record two more albums before going their separate ways.</div>

They met Paul Rogers, who was in a band called Brown Sugar, and asked him to join them to form a new band. Blues musician, Alexis Kornor, suggested Andy Fraser as a bass player. He was only 15 but had already played with John Mayall's Blue's Breakers. The band's name is believed to have been suggested by Kornor. Their first two albums went unnoticed, but on their third album, "Fire and Water", they hit it big with the song, "All Right Now". Upon that success they decided to split. They reformed and recorded "Highway". They split again and reformed to record two more studio albums, "Free At Last" and "Heartbreaker". The last album was recorded with original members and new members. This time their split was final. Andy Fraser formed The Sharks, then The Andy Fraser Band. Later on he had great success as a song writer for others. Paul Kossoff recorded a solo album, "Back Street Crawler", then formed a new band under that name. Paul Rogers and Simon Kirke formed Bad Company and were the first group on Led Zeppelin's new label, "Swan Song".<br />
Paul Kossoff died in March 1976 from health problems related to drug abuse.<br />

That band broke up and Alex went solo until forming a 60s psychedelic band called Giant Moth. That was a flop. In 1971 he teamed up with members of a band called Tear Gas and they called themselves, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band. They consisted of Zal Cleminson (guitar), Chris Glenn, (bass), and cousins, Hugh Mckenna, (keyboards), and Ted Mckenna, (drums). </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 14px;">Together they created a unique show that went from raunchy rock to cabaret and vaudeville music hall numbers. Harvey would act out the characters in the song. A trench coat and fedora, film noir style, for “The Man in the Jar”. He swung a bamboo cane and danced about for “Sgt. Fury”. He read from the “Book of Vambo” for “Vambo Marble Eye”. As the band played on, he would climb up to a fake brick wall and spray paint, “Vambo Rool” across it. His most hilarious bit was during "Framed". Wearing a street punk style leather jacket, he would stuff two socks into his cheeks, mocking Marlon Brando in "The Godfather" and "The Wild One". </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 14px;">Fans of SAHB are familiar with these antics and would follow the band across Europe. In 1975 SAHB toured the USA with their well crafted show. They gained some recognition in the states, but never reached the level of fame they desired. A couple more albums and Alex Left the band. The band recorded one without him. He rejoined and quit again. The band has continued on in one form or another ever since. </span></div></div></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; font-size: 14px;"></span><br />

Home to many old cathedrals, and the setting for Chaucer’s 14th century “Canterbury Tales”. It is also the birth place of a type of progressive rock music from the 1960s. The music had it's roots in jazz, folk and blues, but was very experimental. One of the earliest and most influential bands was The Wilde Flowers. Formed in 1963, it included Kevin Ayers, Richard Sinclair, Robert Wyatt, Brian and Hugh Hopper. Pye Hastings, (guitar / vocals), and Richard Coughlan, (drums), joined in 1965. Robert Wyatt and Kevin Ayers left to form Soft Machine. In 1968 David Sinclair joined The Wilde Flowers and they changed their name to Caravan. </span><br />
<div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Since then there have been many changes, but Pye Hastings and Richard Coughlan remained throughout the band’s long history. </div><div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 15.0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">Caravan made it’s first tour of the USA in 1974. My friends and I were lucky to see them perform at The Keystone Club in Berkeley on November 9th, 1974.<br />

Dave Cousins, from the Strawbs, met him while producing an album by the band, Paper Bubble. Wakeman then did session work on the Strawbs’ 2nd album. Cousins invited him to join the band. He recorded one live album and one studio album with the Strawbs before leaving to join Yes. He recorded 3 albums with Yes from 1971 - 75. He recorded two solo albums while still a member of Yes, “The Six Wives of Henry the 8th” and “Journey to the Centre of the Earth”. There had been rumors about him leaving Yes since the release of “Tales of the Topographic Ocean”, which he was not happy with. The same day that his album, “Journey to the Centre of the Earth” hit #1 on the UK charts, he announced that was leaving Yes to pursue a solo career.</span><br />

font-size: 14px;">The Strawbs were a folk/bluegrass band formed in 1967 by Dave Cousins and Tony Hooper. In 1968 Cousins discovered Sandy Denny playing in a folk club and invited her to join. Some studio recordings were made, but Denny left to join Fairport Convention. They released their first self titled album in 1969 with Ron Chesterman on bass. Rick Wakeman played piano on their second release, “Dragonfly”. He officially joined the band for their next album, “Just a Collection of Antiques and Curios.” John Ford and Richard Hudson, from Elmer Gantry’s Velvet Opera, also joined at that time. They recorded their next album, "From the Witchwood." Then Rick Wakeman left to join YES and Blue Weaver replaced him for their next album, “Grave New World.” Then Tony Hooper left because the band was moving away from it's folk roots and becoming more of a progressive rock band. He was replaced with Dave Lambert, from King Earl Boogie Band. They reached their greatest success with the release of their next album, “Bursting at the Seams.” A rift developed between Cousins, John Ford and Richard Hudson. They left to form their own band, titled Hudson-Ford. Then Blue Weaver left to join Mott the Hoople. He was replaced with John Hawken from Renaissance, but later left to re-join Renaissance. The Strawbs continued on in one form or another, but never achieved the same success they had in the early 70s. </span><br />

Chandler, ex-bassest for The Animals and</div><div style="text-align: center;"> manager for Jimi Hendrix, took them</div><div style="text-align: center;">under his wing. His vision was to run</div><div style="text-align: center;"> their career like the Beatles. Give them </div><div style="text-align: center;">an image, get a couple of hit singles</div><div style="text-align: center;"> and make a movie. They did</div><div style="text-align: center;"> get the hit singles, in England mostly,</div><div style="text-align: center;"> but the movie, "FLAME", didn't</div><div style="text-align: center;"> help their career.

text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">In December 1974, my friends and I were at Winterland twice. On the first day of the month we saw Fleetwood Mac. Their lead singer at that time was Bob Welch along with Christine McVie, John McVie's wife. I met Christine McVie after the show and asked her for an autograph. She was very polite and signed my little paper pad with a "Thank you!" above her name. I asked her if John was coming out soon, too. She told me that his drink had been spiked and that he was taken to the hospital. I said I was very sorry. I could tell that she was distraught. I was impressed that she had been so polite to me under the circumstances. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UtbmW_5xUm8/TPw-X0E64FI/AAAAAAAACX0/X78s0LHPSGo/s1600/Christine+McVie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="116" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UtbmW_5xUm8/TPw-X0E64FI/AAAAAAAACX0/X78s0LHPSGo/s200/Christine+McVie.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">The opening act that night was Triumvirate, a German band, followed by The Eric Burbon Band. A week later we saw The Kinks. I had seen the Kinks a couple of years before at the Berkeley Community Theatre. We were at the front of the Winterland stage for this show December 8th. After the show we met the drummer and another member of the band, but were mostly interested in meeting Ray Davies. Quite a bit of time had passed and a small crowd of people were outside the stage door waiting along with us. After a long wait in the cold night air, we had engaged in conversation about the show and weather it was worth waiting around any longer. As I turned, Ray Davies walked up behind me. No one had noticed him except me. He seemed to be in a dream, unaware of the people around him. As he walked past me I handed him my paper pad and asked for his autograph. He took my pad and stepped into the waiting Limo. No one was able to speak to him or get an autograph. I turned to my friends and told them that he had taken my autograph book! Just then the limo's window rolled down and a hand popped out holding my pad. I grabbed it and saw that he had signed it. I was stunned as the Limo sped off into the night. The opening acts that night were Aerosmith and Climax Blues Band.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UtbmW_5xUm8/TPw-l4dKkWI/AAAAAAAACX4/zSu1ZQ5qXCw/s1600/Ray+Davies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="118" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UtbmW_5xUm8/TPw-l4dKkWI/AAAAAAAACX4/zSu1ZQ5qXCw/s200/Ray+Davies.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the last of my British Rock Calendar series.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Steve Winwood was vocalist, guitarist and organist with The Spencer Davis Group, who had two big hits, “Gimme Some Lovin’” and “I’m A Man,” establishing Winwood as a rising star. He left Spencer Davis when he met Jim Capaldi and Dave Mason, who were with The Hellions, (later called Deep Feeling). With the addition of Chris Wood, they formed Traffic. Their first album was classic British psychedelic pop/rock and had the hits, “Dear Mr. Fantasy” and “Heaven is in Your Mind”. Dave Mason soon left and Traffic broke up. Steve Winwood joined Eric Clapton to form Blind Faith while the rest of Traffic joined Mick Weaver (Wynder K. Frog), to form Mason, Capaldi, Wood & Frog, or just Wooden Frog. Neither band lasted and Steve Winwood and Chris Wood joined Ginger Baker’s Air Force while Dave Mason recorded solo and an album with Mama Cass from The Mamas and the Papas. The original Traffic reformed with the addition of new members. Their music evolved into a more Jazz influenced style with African percussion provided by Reebop Kwaku-Baah. Their songs were longer with more instrumentals. Hitting their peak with the album, “The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys” in 1971, they recorded two more studio albums but never attained the level of creativity in their early albums. Winwood and Capaldi recorded one last album together in 1994, "Far From Home." Chris Wood died of pneumonia in 1983. Jim Capaldi died of liver cancer in 2005.</div><div style="text-align: center;">My friends and I saw Traffic perform a few times in the San Francisco Bay Area.<br />

It was a real marathon of events. On the 5th we</div><div style="text-align: center;">saw Renaissance at the Berkeley Zellerbach Theater. Chick</div><div style="text-align: center;">Corea topped the bill, but left before he performed. Just 3 days</div><div style="text-align: center;">later we saw George Harrison for two shows at the Oakland</div><div style="text-align: center;">Coliseum. Billy Preston opened the show with Ravi Shankar</div><div style="text-align: center;"> second. The very next day we saw Caravan for two shows at</div><div style="text-align: center;"> The Berkeley Keystone Theatre. The opening band </div><div style="text-align: center;">was the local group, Earthquake. We were able to even go </div><div style="text-align: center;">back stage and meet Caravan after the show. The very next </div><div style="text-align: center;">day we saw Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny at the </div><div style="text-align: center;">Berkeley Community Theatre. The Ozark Mountain </div><div style="text-align: center;">Daredevils opened. We met Sandy Denny back stage </div><div style="text-align: center;">after the show. Just 3 days later we saw Deep Purple, ELO</div><div style="text-align: center;">and Elf at the Oakland Coliseum. In that month we saw </div><div style="text-align: center;">acts at every venue in the Bay Area. </div><div style="text-align: center;">To see past pages of British Rock Calendar -</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://britishrockmemorabilia.blogspot.com/2010/09/british-rock-calendar-october-1974.html">British Rock Calendar- October 1974</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UtbmW_5xUm8/TNLU13C1eMI/AAAAAAAACQg/GdYafIwUlE8/s1600/November.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UtbmW_5xUm8/TNLU13C1eMI/AAAAAAAACQg/GdYafIwUlE8/s320/November.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>David Millerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06641868279432092301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387668489190317493.post-33727543866635450442010-10-06T19:01:00.000-07:002010-12-20T00:17:23.240-08:00HUMBLE PIE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Humble Pie was a 60s band that hit</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">their peak in the early 70s with the albums</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"Rock On" and "Smokin'". Their live </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">album, "Performance Rockin' The </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Fillmore", established them as a </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">great live band. Led by Steve Marriott, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">from The Small Faces, Humble Pie included</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Peter Frampton, from The Herd. He left in 1971</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> to pursue a solo career and was replaced </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">by Clem Clempson, from Colosseum. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Touring the US extensively, they built a </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">strong following. Steve Marriott's powerful </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">vocals were a perfect match with the </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">driving beat from drummer, Jerry Shirley </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">and bassist, Greg Ridley who had been </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> with Spooky Tooth.
