Old Rockers never die, they just get more wrinkly?

Check out Keith Richards.... Lol.

Seriously to the topic in hand.

I am like many here I suspect in that I grew up listening to 60,s & 70,s rock music.
For me being in England it was bands like Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Uriah Heep, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd yada yada yada, you get the picture.

Now I have embraced streaming and via this medium I have found much new to me music that I thoroughly enjoy but......

Can't shake them roots!

Nothing is guaranteed to put a huge silly grin on my face quicker than cranking out the old rocker tunes.

Like last night, streaming some jazz fusion which was ok but then clicked on Outsider by Uriah Heep.

Oh yes, feet were shuffling, hands were twitching and ready to break out the old air guitar!

So what REALLY moves you?

"Big Block" - Jeff Beck
"Stone Cold Fever" - Humble Pie 
"Homework" - J Geils Band (live version)

Speaking of Humble Pie, has anyone heard their cover version of "Chest Fever" (The Band)? I've been on a quest to find it since the mid 70's, and I'm still looking for it.

@avsjerry.....It was interesting the way that the James Gang incorporated "Bolero" into "The Bomber," despite it being 2 years after the Jeff Beck Group released "Beck's Bolero."

What I found more interesting was the similarity between the guitar riffs of "Rocky Mountain Way" (released in 1973) and "Jet Set (Sigh)," released by Stephen Stills & Manassas in 1972. The fact that Stills combined the two songs on his 1975 live album was pretty cheeky.

@mitchagain....*G*  Oh, we (and they) were all just 'fried' and farting around....

"Hey!  Check out this riff! *batdatdatat...bonk....batdatdatat...Bonk..(etc.)*
"?!...Yeah!..."

The rest is hysterical....;)  Everyone was feeding off each other....for what I can remember, and you know how that goes....;)

As I tease the 'newbie hipster sorts' of late:

"Look, son....I helped invent your 'lifestyle' and that hydroponic inhalant you enjoy...so...*hold out thumb & forefinger*.....*suck*....consider this.....*exhale*....'rent'. ;)

I have an excuse....I was born in SoCal...moved north and completed the grain bamage....;)
