Never knew Colin Powell had written that Always used to get Georgie mixed up with Alan Price when I was young. Love this. I can't believe you've said that ... I've always got them mixed up too! (I thought it was just me ... ) There's always that brief moment where I have to compute who it is I'm actually listening to.

What a motley crew that is (not sure of the context), I recognise Mick Fleetwood, Zak Starkey, Billy Gibbons and Kirk Hammett, not sure who the other guys are and to be fair, it sounds like they've just met for the first time down the pub but blimey, Green Manalishi, what an utterly brilliant song that actually is ...

One of the greatest nights in the history of rock, the back story to it is incredible, won't go in to it now (save to say, a few hours before, it looked like he wasn't even going to be able to do it) but imho you're going to be hard pushed to find a better (ever) live performance, his vocal, his energy, the sheer dynamism is absolutely on another level completely. It's just pure, visceral, energy. Love it ...

Watching eagles hells freezes over “again” Don Henley is an exceptional underrated vocalist It's not an Eagles song though. Off a quite brilliant Don Henley solo album

A band giving blood to a totally douche bag audience but at least the sound is absolutely epic ...

I don't think I have any particular confusion with ant other two artists

Totally agree Paul I just wanted to mark the event and one of my favourite Peter green tracks . Sounds like it was recorded on my old Nokia

It's just pure, visceral, energy. Love it ... That says it all Paul, coming from you with your respected knowledge, love and commitment to the musical scene. I do know of the " trauma" leading up to the 68 Special( eg the producer's video) but any more info would be appreciated. For me Elvis heralded a musical but also a cultural revolution. For me it's partly about character and Elvis did put his heart and soul into his music. You correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that he also changed the way that music was arranged/ produced. When his contract was sold to RCA there are stories of him ( as an 19 year old )telling Chet Atkins , a respected producer " Sir, I tell my guitarist what to do, not you". For me the greatest live singer....as Springsteen said" “There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders. And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.” “So what it boils down to was Elvis produced his own records. He came to the session, picked the songs, and if something in the arrangement was changed, he was the one to change it. Everything was worked out spontaneously. Nothing was really rehearsed. Many of the important decisions normally made previous to a recording session were made during the session. What it was was a look to the future. Today everybody makes records this way. Back then Elvis was the only one. He was the forerunner of everything that’s record production these days. Consciously or unconsciously, everyone imitated him. People started doing what Elvis did.” - Bones Howe, Recording Engineer, as quoted in Jerry Hopkins’ 1971 book, "Elvis, A Biography" “Elvis is the greatest cultural force in the twentieth century. He introduced the beat to everything, music, language, clothes, it’s a whole new social revolution - the 60’s comes from it.” - Leonard Bernstein, 1960s “There is something magical about watching a man who has lost himself find his way back home...He sang with the kind of power people no longer expect from rock ‘n’ roll singers.” - John Landau, Review of "Elvis" (1968 TV Special) “It was the finest music of his life. If ever there was music that bleeds, this was it.” - Greil Marcus, From his book "Mystery Train," remembering the 1968 TV Special

However what I was referring to, was that on the day of the recording Elvis (unusually) became very nervous and had a bout of stage fright and at one point they didn't think he was going to be able to pull it off. Furthermore, Parker had forgotten to distribute the tickets, so they had no audience for Presley's 'live' comeback and the production crew had to go to a nearby hamburger joint and literally beg people to come and watch Elvis! Imagine going out for a burger and then before the evening is out, you have witnessed one of the greatest rock performances of all time!

I believe that Elvis often got nervous before shows because " it's a different audience" . I wish I'd been at that Berger bar.
