If it sounds Amerikan to you, it's because 50% of their songs are covers of Stones songs and another 25% are covers of songs written between 1930 and 1940 by the great black Amerikan bluesmen. And I hope you already know that the songs on the first 3 Stones albums are all covers of black bluesmen. And since you're so young (15 yo ?) and so ignorant, I'll let you in on a secret. As soon as a white band adapts songs created and sung by blacks, it gives you the : "Rythm an' Blues". Well, you owe me 85 €.

When I was a kid, my dad and I would sing along to this.....very badly.....in the car when it came on the radio. Probably one of the best songs to come out of the 60's. The Doors did a great version of this too (its out there someplace) and Jim Morrison just did what Jim Morrison does best, and I am pretty sure it's a fairly long live jam (correct me if I'm wrong). I love that version almost a little more....maybe because it's a little dirtier, haha. Jim had no filter whatsoever, haha.

[@ChrisStokes07]

June 2-18, 1966 - The Doors open for Them with Van Morrison for a two week engagement at the Whisky. The very last night before Van and his crew went back to Ireland they all played “Gloria” together. John Densmore talked about it in his book, remarking that it was one of the most memorable experiences for him. He said it was one of the greatest times of his life to be on stage with 2 drummers, 2 guitarists 2 keyboard players and 2 Morrisons. Amen to that!

Schön, hier PETER BARDENS (CAMEL) an den Tasten zu sehen. Camel ist seit über 40 Jahren meine Lieblingsband. Ich war bei mindestens 10 traumhaften Konzerten von dieser britischen Prog.Rock-Band. Auf Platz 2 kommt die außergewöhnliche Drummerin SINA Döring = sina-drums vom Niederrhein, die jetzt im Juni ihr Musikstudium in Arnhem beendet und danach ihren Master in London machen will. An Sina (25) gefällt mir besonders, dass sie die Musik der 60'er,70'er und 80'er Jahre liebt, schätzt und erfolgreich covert. Von den ihren mehr als 500 Musikvideos (innerhalb von 10 Jahren) sind ca. 80 respektable Originale. Sie ist inzwischen weltweit bekannt und hat jetzt mehr als 1,5 Millionen Abonnenten, von denen ich (76) ein fanatischer Fan bin ... --, wie man das hier unschwer entnehmen kann.

[@TheRunner75]

Oui c'est vrai. J'ai dépassé la soixantaine et je n'aime pas Frank Sinatra pour autant. J'ai toujours aimé le rock (parmi beaucoup d'autres genres musicaux) et ça ne changera pas à cause de l'âge. Un type comme Rory Gallagher a fait du blues et du rock toute sa vie, et il n'est jamais tombé dans le business musical alimentaire ou pour suivre le courant du moment. Même les Stones continuent à faire du rock et à remplir les stades à 70 balais bien sonnés. Même si c'est plus comme avant, c'est très louable de rester fidèle à un genre pour lequel ils sont faits plutôt que de tenter de séduire le public des maisons de retraites, avec des ballades sirupeuses et pleurnichardes, parce qu'ils n'ont plus la voix pour faire autre chose...

[@nickpsychic1562]

TheRunner75 Prendre les Rolling Stones comme exemple et les mettre sur le même plan que Van Morrisson est assez ironique ... Les Stones aujourd'hui est un groupe on ne peut plus commercial, sortant toujours les mêmes best of au fur et à mesure des années et éventuellement quelques nouvelles chansons, dont les riffs sont toujours les mêmes depuis quelques albums. Les membres eux-mêmes ont du mal à se supporter, mais cherchent à sauver les apparences, de maintenir tant bien que mal la légende, mais musicalement c'est vide malheureusement, l'argent nuit fortement à la créativité. Cependant les fans seront toujours présent massivement dans les stades , à supporter ce grand groupe qu'étaient les Stones autrefois mais ne croyez surtout pas que ces derniers représentent quoique ce soit musicalement aujourd'hui ...

[@TheRunner75]

C'est vrai que musicalement parlant, ils n'apportent plus rien... L'innovation se fait rare de nos jours si l'on excepte quelques exemples comme Radiohead. En tout cas, je préfère les Stones de maintenant que le Johnny de maintenant, mégalo et insupportable.

Van Morrison's Astral Weeks just blows me away everytime. Them were a brilliant band. This is a great track. Originally a b-side.

[@danielgiraud1118]

.... Originally a B-side o' : "Baby, please don't go" recorded in 1964 and written by Big Joe Williams in 1935. On this last song, Jimmy Page plays rhythm guitar. But hushhhhh, very few people know that. My friend, you are named after a great singer and blues musician who was the first after the authentic Pope of Blues : Alexis Korner, to introduce the Blues to the English in 1961. And during the first six years, the greatest musicians played in his band 'fore they were known like : Eric Clapton at the age of nineteen, John McVie (Fleetwood Mac' bassist), Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac' drummer), Jack Bruce (Cream' bassist and former Jazzman), Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac, a God of a guitarist), Mick Taylor (Stones' lead guitar, hundred times better than this bum puppet of Keith Richards), Aynsley Dunbar (drummer, he was very upset 'bout being fired by J. Mayall, strict an' severe who forbade his musicians to drink and take drugs, so Aynsley formed a band called Aynsley Dunbar Retaliations), Fito de la Parra (Canned Heat' drummer), Larry Taylor (Canned Heat' bassist), Keef Hartley (drummer, he was fired also, then he formed the goup Keef Hartley Band), Le Grand Sonny Landreth (slide guitar), Coco Montoya (lead guitar) Albert Collins' guitarist leaves J. Mayall to replace Bob "the bear" Hite who died, Joe Yuele (drummer), Don "Sugarcane" Harris (devil, devil, devil violonist. At the time he was in prison. So J. Mayall paid the prison governor to let him out just long enough to record), Harvey Mandel (amerikan guitarist who played wi' Canned Heat), Jerry McGee (amerikan guirarist who founded group : The Ventures in 1968), Hughie Flint (drummer from group McGuinness Flint), Bernie Watson (guitarist in 1963-64), Roger Dean (lead guitar. Then he left the band and became a VERY GREAT illustrator of vinyl covers. He created 106 covers for many bands. For example, he designed the covers of all the albums of the band: Yes, that are 29 covers. In 1969 wi' the Lp : "the turning point", J. Mayall abandons the classic scheme of the formation to play the Blues to integrate into his new group a flute and an acoustic guitar, played respectively by Jon Mark and by Johnny Almond. These two are great an' famous solo musicians but sometimes joined forces to create the famous duo : Jon Mark & Johnny Almond. If you don't know 'hem, I won't talk to ye anymo' an' I'll bite yer liver bone wi' anger. It's simple, J. Mayall was the boss and for each record he changed musicians. He must have recorded 67 albums but only the first 6 (officials) are of great value plus 4 albums recorded 'fore his first official Lp in 1966 'bout confidential older recordings as : "John Mayall plays John Mayall" & "Diary of a band" & "Don't look back" & "the Blues alone". The 33 Lps left you can throw 'hem away or play freesbee wi'. Yet he's a great blues singer he has formulated to dedicate his entire life to the Blues. He has a beautiful, plaintive voice made for the Blues an' he plays good mouth harp and guitar and organ and piano. His master is the Bluesman J.B. Lenoir. But alas, e'en despite his first passion for the Blues coupled with his pure and authentic approach for it, which earned him the enmity and the diversion of young ignorant English people in 1966, this generated in 1967 his second Lp entitled: "Crusade" , like hundreds o' poor inhabitants of the earth, he let himself go easily, lost his inspiration and above all, took himself for someone, he fell into the trap of making music for the money. If you already know him, and since you also know Clapton, then listen to 2 gems never released on vinyl because they were only released as a single in 1966. They are of great beauty. The titles are : "Telephone Blues" & "I'm yer witch doctor". Well, my friend, yewh John Mayall, sign a cover of your records for me....

I saw Van Morrison in concert twice. Once in 1970, at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, I had a seat in the orchestra pit, about five feet from the stage, and in 1972, at the Paully Pavilion at UCLA; Linda Ronstadt was the opening act
