This is not a new concept but thought that I'd try my own version.

When I feel that there is something worth sharing. I'll share, on that day, something of interest to me that happened "today"

It might be a memorable gig, an album release, anything that I find interesting in the field of music.

You might also have thoughts to share on something that happened "today" so please feel free.

Not sure when the first of my posts will be but hopefully soon.

I'm playing to do one for each day before I restart so this one may out live me. we'll l see

This is a nice one from 1977, and you need to watch it till the end.

David Bowie appeared on Marc Bolan's ITV show.

Marc, sings Lifeโ€™s A Gas and then David does โ€˜Heroesโ€™.

Then comes a duet between the two until Marc falls off the stage, much to Davidโ€™s amusement. Donโ€™t you love live TV!

After the show the pair recorded demos together, which were never finished because Bolan was killed in a car crash a week later.

Nice idea for a thread and personal recollections always more interesting than anything AI can come up with. Interesting about the demos, might have to check into those.

Thanks AM

I was thinking the same thing about the demos. Do they exist? Some investigation needed

Cheers man. I did a little search last night and cannot find the demos at the moment. I'm assuming that they didn't survive. maybe even recorded over. Who knows. Shame.

On this day in 1966

The Beatles started a six-week run at No.1 on the US album chart with


Revolver (1966) by The Beatles

the group's ninth US chart topper.

This has always been my favourite Beatles album and it's clear to me that this is a huge leap forward from Rubber Soul (an album I also like) and that Sgt. Peppers would not have happened without this album. I find Sgt. Peppers rather a hard listen TBH.

I can see why this is considered The Beatles' most experimental album. The song writing is more innovative and the use of a diverse array of instruments was ground-breaking at the time. I'm also pretty sure that they never played a live show after the release of Revolver so it marks the shift from a live group to a studio-focused one and the freedom in what they could recording that gave them. Love the use of Indian music and psychedelic music.

I cannot deny that there are some iconic tracks like "Eleanor Rigby" and "Tomorrow Never Knows," and "Taxman" is a banging opener. I could be wrong but was this also the first time that the Beatles had extensively used an orchestra when they did on "Eleanor Rigby".
