Ozzy Osbourne (76) sang his final concert with his legendary heavy-metal band, Black Sabbath, in Birmingham, England on Saturday.
One wonders what the Beatles, Yes, and the Yardbirds II (AKA Led Zeppelin) thought of Black Sabbath in 1968; all superlatives I imagine. 1970 Video: YouTube.com.
#4: Wow, lucky you. Before the internet, way back when, many of us thought that Jeff Lynne worked with the Beatles on their later albums. Don't know how that rumor started, but the Beatles obviously heavily influenced him. I loved his incorporation of string instruments, particularly the violin. Beethoven would have approved of ELO: youtu.be
#7: Oof! That was unlucky. I was fortunate to see Asia 3x, including front row seats once. But I missed out on Jay and the Americans on what turned out to be his last tour. I thought I'd catch him, but the poor guy croaked. youtu.be
Frank Sinatra called Jay 'the Voice."
#10: We're about the same age, though you might be a tad my senior. Yup, tickets were affordable. I lost track of how many times I saw the Ramones in NYC. I have a collection of ticket stubs mounted. And we also enjoyed great music on free TV: Soul Train, Don Kirshner's Rock Concerts, Dick Clark's AB, and the Tonight Show used to be 90 minutes long, so, we'd hear the performer's second set about 1247. SNL featured great musicians too. This is the stuff our parents watched on free TV: youtu.be
How terrific are these dancers?
#12: I saw these guys three times (my wife saw them once): youtu.be
My band did not cover this song, which would have been fun for a drummer as you can hear from the syncopation.
