Piano on BBC sessions
Quote:
Sorry for the late reply, I was starting to forget the title of this thread! I have no recollection of Christine showing up for any of those early BBC recordings, but she was of course present for a couple of them before I left when she had joined the band. As far as the Alexis Korner session, I have no recollection of that either. I did play slide on a Duster Bennet track which I believe was for that show, which we recorded quickly while he was waiting for Pete to show up. Sorry I can't be more of a help. |

Always a thrill to have you here, whenever you can stop by
The slide on "Shady Little Baby" is just sublime - the playing has an almost Robert Johnson feel to it - beautiful Thank you also for clarifying the question of whether or not Christine Perfect had played on the early Fleetwood Mac BBC sessions - I never understood why she would have, but all the books and liner notes list her on certain sessions and that information, incorrect or not, just gets repeated, with each iteration citing a previous "incorrect" listing as source - never checking for themselves There is a complete "hidden" history of the band (and your work in particular) to be found mining the BBC sessions - it really is worth the effort to get past the surface noise and speed fluctuations to hear it - the concert bootlegs have their revelations also, but the BBC sessions deserve a wider audience

Dear Jeremy. Maybe you've been asked about this many times before, but..
How did you experience Danny Kirwan as a person? for example, when you did the Kiln House tour together? |

Jeremy, Can you please tell me 5 of your favorite songs of all time by other artists in any genre?
Also thanks for the thanks. It's an honor to support you. |

How do you feel about the blues "rebirth" throughout the eighties, by namely Stevie Ray Vaughan. In many ways it's hurt and helped the blues survive as a somewhat viable music form it's also caused a lot of people to start playing guitar.

I would ask: Jeremy, do you have any specific memories of the last gig with Green in Bath May 23 1970? Or has it mostly faded from memory?
Do you remember if the band did any more gigs before the US tour in late August? |

80's blues 'rebirth'?
Quote:
I only hope it at least made young musicians aware of players like Alberts King and Collins who played with selective taste, (although I still wonder Okay, you could probably apply the same criterion to me sitting in a glass house years ago playing my attempts at Elmore James! |

Let's be fair
Quote:
It's the reason John Mayer (an SRV fan who is a pure phony), recorded a song that mimics "I Need Your Love So Bad". You misspelled "troubadour", the real JS doesn't misspell his words. Whoever gets this, I hope it sends a message. |

The ONE question you don't ask when it's the only one you can ask...
Quote:
Mitch Mitchell: What was it like playing with Jimi Hendrix? Ginger Baker: How did you experience Eric Clapton as a person? But in answer to yours: Rough. |

5 Favourites?
Quote:
Anyway, here goes: I Wannna Know Where Love Is: Foreigner. Gloria: Laura Brannigan Like a Prayer: Madonna Done With Bonaparte: Mark Knofler Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen and two more for good measure: Spanish Eyes: Madonna Don't Leave Home: Dido No blues? Odd, you may say. But the above moved me to tears. God bless you, Viv! What a thread! Gets feathers ruffled! |

It's your opinion, and granted (just needed to make sure). Your favorite songs today ring true with FM doing Tim Hardin's "Hang On To a Dream" at your suggestion for the BBC. Since at that time FM was probably the best commercial cover band around, you could've had a niche' offering non blues/50's songs for performance. You could've played Beatles tunes (aside from the "Twist and Shout" cover), since the Beatles in retrospect gave FM the nod for "Sun King" through "Albatross". On a side note: I wasn't alive when the likes of Fabian dominated the radio airwaves in the states. The original "Tiger" (Youtube) is a complete joke compared to how you changed it into a true rocker. I know you and Peter wanted out, but looking back, the fan of that original band wants to slam their head against a brick wall in frustration of what could've been. Do you deny had Peter Green stayed in FM another six months: 1) FM would've done a four month US tour during the summer of 1970 complete with a double LP live album from the Boston Tea Party? 2) The success of the Boston Tea Party concerts would've elevated the band to the next level? Who am I fooling, it'll take cash to get JS to answer those questions. |

A side comment - I've thought Knopfler's work hasn't been the most consistent but he's had some brilliant moments, and some of the tracks from his recent Get Lucky album are among his best solo work. Particularly like "So Far From The Clyde." Have you heard that album, Jeremy? |
