Comments anyone? Jim Wow, a good selection of Blast from the past there Jim  A lot i know, but there are a few i dont, Like Strife, & Snafu (Micky Moodie) But the others i do, some good one's here, Pink Fairies Emerson Lake and Palmer The Nice, The forerunner to Emerson Lake & Palmer.John Miles Rick Wakeman (The Myths and Legends of King Arthur) i was not into this band period, i think he went over the top, when he put on the show on ice Rick was good in "Yes" but couldn't get into this bandSteve Gibbons  Crosby Stills and Nash, I really liked this band, (still do) great singing & harmoney's, to some great song's, and then when Neil Young join'd them  Focus Osibisa A band I'd forgotten all about  , this band was one of the first fusion band at that time, late 60s mid 70s onwards i loved they're fusion of African, jazz rock, rock, and R&B, i was heavliy into Jazz rock at that time, and these two are classic  Thin Lizzie AC/DC A good selection M8 Do you remember any of these Jim, Or any one  Fairport Convention

Hi cofi Never heard of Heavy Belly, Spooky Tooth, Dr Strangely Strange or Quintessence, I must admit. Fairport Convention I have heard of but never fancied (so to speak). Mott The Hoople (All The Young Dudes) I have seen live, they headlined at a gig in Nelson when Sassafras were playing. Traffic, well - Stevie Winwood (good stuff on youtube) and Capaldi. Back to my suggestions, Strife were an excellent 3 piece band, whose bassist (Gordon whatsisname), if I remember, was awarded the title of ugliest bassist in rock at that time. I have a cd of one of their albums called Rush. Snafu I saw a few times in the 70,s, they have a cd available, or did, of two of their albums. Saw Mickie Moodie play a charity gig a couple of years ago in Burnley. He is playing with Bernie Marsden (Whitesnake, Company of Snakes). Incidentally, I have a cd by Triple Trouble which is by Double Trouble plus guests - Stevie Ray Vaughan's backing band. What about Thin L  izzie and Hawkwind |

Focus? Yeah, I saw them in concert once. What was that song that hit the radio waves? I can hear the tune in my head, (Yodeling) but the name of the song escapes me. That dude could shred.   |

Re Focus.
Just confirming that it was probably Hocus Pocus, or Sylvia.
Jan Akkerman, the amazing lead guitarist is still touring.
Triple Trouble cd is well worth listening to, it includes a great version of Help (Beatles).
Will check out the Thin Lizzie/Hawkwind references cofi. Just bought Live and Dangerous on cd.
