The first time I heard Pat Metheny was in 1987, a Friend brought a couple of cassette tapes of Pat Metheny Group, from then on, I got hooked to the music of PM.

Doobie Brothers - Black Water LIVE



A famous line from this song "I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland, pretty mama come and take me by the hand". This song typifies the kind of rock in that era.... there is no single sound format!!! . . . . unlike today where everybody sounds alike.

Bachman Turner Overdrive - LOOKIN' OUT FOR NO.1

From The Guess Who, the Bachmans formed another group and called it Bachman, Turner, Overdrive or simply, BTO. This song has a touch of bossa nova and jazz to it.

ERIC CLAPTON LIVE BELL BOTTOM BLUES



In his concert One more car, one more rider concert in 2002, EC made a beautiful rendetion of this song. With him in that concert was Steve Gadd, Nathan East and Billy Preston among others. Unfortunately, the embed code won't allow reposting of the video. Just the same, this is also a great performance (1973) from the slow hand Eric Clapton.

Classic Rock

We used to call it contemporary rock, or mainstream rock.. now it's called classic rock or adult oriented rock (AOR). Aaarghh. But I'm proud of the music when I was growing up,particularly the music of the 70s and 80s. We have wide range of music to choose from and excellent songs for that matter.

I'm starting today posting music from that era, mostly rock, well, classic rock. Name it, blues, heavy metal, soft rock, ballad rock, hard rock, folk rock, whatever name it is, they sound good. Not only the songs then are melodious but some are lyrical or poetic. And the artist are really good musician, some of them has classical or formal training. So much of the blah, blah, hope you will enjoy my posts... Rock and Roll!!!
