I believe there is a Nick Drake festival as well this weekend at Tamworth-in-Arden, though from the clip I saw it was a fairly liberal interpretation of what might constitute a dedication to the great man!

... heh heh! Not dissimilar to the fairly liberal interpretation we have been applying to Drunken C's OP premise! Sorry about that D.C.!

Here you go Etruria. Both ends of the spectrum here. Am I forgiven now?

Bear with this, the picture improves marginally but the live sound's not bad at all.

Maggie Bell/Stone the Crows - Going Down.
The Don Nix number. Freddie King covered this as did the mighty Chicken Shack!

Can't let a mention of Jefferson Airplane pass by without airing this awkward beaut.

As for ladyrockers, perhaps straddling folk, but I reckon Trees could whip up a storm.
I'll be youtubing Chicken Shack. Good call.

Truly inspired there cheeesfreeex!
I can't believe there is someone else on here who likes Trees. I was happy enough finding Zappa and Beefheart cognoscenti. Fantastic!
Trees may well be one of the last unrediscovered bands of the seventies. a couple of tracks on their 2 albums don't travel too well but the rest are beautiful.
I strongly recommend the haunting "Polly on the Shore" while "The Garden of Jane Delawney" is a thing of lyrical beauty about absolutely nothing that is only surpassed by the writings of Beckett.
I've a sneaking feeling that Sonja Kristina of Curved Air lives quite locally somehere in the Peaks/Moorlands or similar.
Chicken Shack are guilty of some fairly mixed output truth be told. At their best they were great. They started as an equal of Fleetwood Mac on the Blue Horizon label and great things were expected from them. They were immediately disadvantaged by Stan Webb not hiring a male vocalist. Stan took three albums to master his vocal range and discover what key suited him best! Christine Perfect (Later McVie of F.Mac) sings on several tracks. I'll have a listen at the weekend and see if I can find some examples of the good stuff to post.
Because I've found these classics for now...

Pacific, Gas and Electric
These may be forgotten by most as well but Tarantino seems to have a liking:-
Staggolee
Bluesbuster. Got to love this toe tapper!
Their cover of John Lee Hookers "Motor City is Burning" is worth checking out. The one the MC5 covered.

Steamhammer - Big in Germany! Elsewhere - Who he?
Juniors Wailing
The sublime Passing Through" ignore the picture. This version had the best sound. Trademark period fade out and back in towards the end:

I'll have a mooch at the Steamhammer later, getting pretty far out and obscurist with some of this stuff.. Which is good. It'll be Pearls Before Swine next. In the meantime a bit of poetry.

I'll mine some nuggets next week - along with my short critical appraisal of the Shack. Those 2 Trees tracks I mentioned are definitely worth looking out though, if you don't have them. I came across the Pacific Gas and Electric while I was looking for something else. I used to love them.

I've had alisten again to The Butthole Surfers stuff and it's a lot better than I remember it. I've got a copy of 'Hairway To Steven', I'll dig it out and give it another go. I overlooked them at the time, I was following paths opened up by ACR, James and the Mondays, listening to Can, Incredible String Band, Fairport and such. I'm sure if I'd continued buying new stuff by the Dead Kennedys it would have lead me to Butthole Surfers. But I didn't, I lost interest after "Too Drunk To F." I've got some catching up to do. I'd never heard the Youngbloods track, really good with a hint of Tim Buckley. Nice. The Pacific gas job hasn't grabbed me, I like the Nick Cave interpretation of 'Stagger Lee'. So there's always going to be high expectations. Similarly SteamHammer are summat I'd never heard before. Pretty impressed, though the sax man needs to chill a bit on the live track. Good stuff, I'll dig a bit deeper. Primevals are shit though.

Also the Fotheringay album if you like Fairports.

Generally agree with your Trees picks, the album I've got {cd not vinyl} is a bit patchy. I love almost everything Sandy Denny did, but the Fotheringay is a bit too twee for me. I saw Can at the Night&Day in Manc about 6 years ago. The Malcolm Mooney version. It was great but I like the Damo Suzuki approach. In the meantime the mighty Acid Mothers Temple. There's another part of this concert in Rennes on youtube that is suitably chaotic. Now for the soundcheck!

Incongruous rock. The Youngbloods track reminded me of this. One of me faves. Blood, Sweat & Tears.
Brill.

There's another part of this concert in Rennes on youtube that is suitably chaotic. I'm a bit pushed just now. I'll give the Acid Temple my full attention a bit later. Enjoyed the Patti Smith and PJ Harvey immensely. If I can squeeze it in I'll stick "Horses" on the OGWT thread just now.
If you like Can, have you explored Amon Duul, Neu, Tangerine Dream, Faust(maybe) or French mentalists Magma - They invented their own language, don't you know!
Blood Sweat & Tears have been the subject of some rewriting of the past. Similarly The Stooges, MC5 etc. I'll have a moan in the week.
Have a good weekend.

The Pig Snoots is a bit of an oddity: not quite Funk, not quite Country. Sounds like something that DJ Shadow would have grabbed and cut up for the 'Product Placement' thingy. It reminds me a bit of Gong's 'Witch's Song', or something concocted by the inventor of the Thimbletron, the Evolution Control Committee. {There's a mini 'tutorial' on the Vidimasher 3000, {his newest invention,} that I havn't been able to cut and paste}, it's worth a look, he's certainly worth catching live.} There's also a gratuitously profane tune by EEC on th'tube. "We're on the fucking moon" that's worth a view.
