Talking Heads This Ain’t No Disco
I comment because you might see a dance version of this video later by yours truly.
I was exposed to this album and The Pretenders debut on the same day, and they probably had everything to do with me moving back to California from Arizona and leaving the metalheads behind.
Joe Strummer Last US Concert
This was sadly to be Joe Strummer’s last public performance in the United States before he passed away on December 22, 2002 at age 50.
He died from a heart attack caused by an undiagnosed congenital heart defect, and was found by his wife at his home in Broomfield, Somerset, having just returned from walking his dog.
Procol Harum
Keith Reid passed away on March 23rd. He was co-founder of Procol Harum with Gary Brooker and they hold the distinction of their first song being their best song….after co-writing 100+ songs for the band even though Keith didn’t play an instrument. Robin Trower joined the band in 1968, and I think this is him playing their biggest hit that was one of the signature songs of the flower-child movement in the 1960s:
Procol Harum played their first live gig at London’s Speakeasy club on the day “A Whiter Shade of Pale” was released. They performed a set of mostly Brooker/Reid songs mixed with covers of Bob Dylan, The Rascals and Tim Rose tunes. Jimi Hendrix was an early vocal supporter of the band and attended their first show where, at the start of their performance of Rose’s “Morning Dew”, he went on stage, took Knights’ bass and joined in.
Tears For Fears
This band was popular during the new wave/punk era but isn’t this just straight-ahead rock and roll?
Everybody wants to rule the world.
David Lindley, RIP
We lost David Lindley on March 3rd. He lived in Claremont, and played at the Museum of Making Music in Carlsbad seven times! My Uncle Bob and I saw one of the shows, and he was fantastic.

Dark Side of the Moon
What many consider to be the greatest album of all time, Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, was released 50 years ago today. It was ranked in the Billboard 200 from 1973 to 1988 (15 years straight!).
The last time the four members played together was at the London Live 8 in 2005. They played three songs from DSOTM to start the show:
Sade Sept 2001
After a tremendous performance that could be ranked as good as any show ever, she ended the gig with this ballad to her daughter just nine days after September, 11, 2001. We were there:
This has to be the best ending to a concert video ever. I love how they show the escorting of the talent after the show, an art form that is all about shielding the fans away from any direct contact and getting out alive.
Zack Glickman
I knew every word to every song on this album by the time I was 15 years old – no wonder it’s like this! The song starts at the 3:30-minute mark, but Frank’s pre-song banter is worth it.
I dedicate this to my boss Steve who is in the process of moving to Whitefish, Montana as we speak.
