Everyone knows Scorpions. Here is a bit of a deep cut, and what a beautiful venue:

Here's another classic performance from Woodstock.

As I mentioned last week, we went to Seattle for my son’s wedding over the weekend. A fun place to go is the Museum of Pop Culture, and we went on Friday. They have that very guitar Jimi played at Woodstock. Also sat and admired this musical “tree” for a while. Cool stuff!

Worth 13 minutes of your time.

I should not listen to this while driving...

One of my favorites from Styx. Cool project with the kids.

Reminds me of the Iron Throne, from Game Of Thrones.

Many times.

Here's a favorite performance from The Last Waltz.

Joni Mitchell - Coyote

The author (George RR Martin) says that he was trying to make something like Tolkien's LOTR trilogy. Which, of course, has been touched upon by so many rock bands, such as Zeppelin (Ramble On, The Battle of Evermore) and Rush (Rivendell) and Black Sabbath (The Wizard).

A bit of trivia.

One of my favorite female vocalists, performing a Springsteen song:

Listening to this, I am struck by a certain vocal resemblance to Alanis Morisette, Who, it turns out, was a big Joni Mitchell fan.

Here's the Patti Smith version, also co-written by her.

Because the Night

[DrVenture]

Here is another early Scorpions song, a bit of a deep cut. The backstory is very interesting: Jimi Hendrix girlfriend (Monika Dannemann) wrote this about his death. She later became the GF of Uli Jon Roth (Scorpion's guitarist at the time) and they put it on an album. Uli Jon Roth's guitar work here is unparalleled. It is both beautiful and a full-on hard rock masterpiece:
