Block 5

I think we are getting a bit complacent.

Sly and the Family Stone: excellent band. Mainly remembered for 'It's a Family Affair' on the 'There's a Riot Goin On' album and 'Everyday People' from 'Stand!'. Often overlooked is their debut album from 1967 (such a good year for music) 'A Whole New Thing'; this is my personal favourite. It's from that transitionary period when soul was starting to morph into funkier more experimental areas (mirroring the change in rock and pop) as artists began trying psychedelics! I agree with your comment about Sly's voice, incredible. I would have to say JB or Eddie Bo are just as funky, and what about George Clinton???? Is there a funkier band that Funkadelic / Parliament?

Er.......not even particularly soulful IMHO. Try this instead.......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig2ekGAeTLc

You lucky lucky b*stard!

What a line up! So who impressed you the most on the night?

Dear oh dear. This has all become rather tedious hasn't it?

Didn't Zed used to be pronunced Izzard in bygone days?

When did you see Floyd in Southampton? I think I saw Hawkwind at the Guildhall too.....although it may have been in Pompey....I can't quite remember due to having altered my consciousness beforehand.

Good move. Check out the other thread on Android apps.

Good move and all very positive.

27 Zarkhov I'm impressed with the team bonding day. This is exactly what we missed last pre-season and we paid the price with our early games. This should stand us in good stead come August 7th.

Good rumour.

Happy birthday Duncan! All the best, Block 5.

Meh.

Well if you happened to be an 8 year old choir boy..........

The band also played on Roy Harper's 'When an Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease'. One of the most moving and evocative songs ever written. Full of allegory........ Have a listen.

Of the three options it has to be the HTC Desire. Nokia have taken their eye off the ball and are now playing catch up.

Cheers Hamilton. Will hunt it down.

Possibly a better winger than RB.

Watched Pink Floyd perform 'Dark Side of the Moon' at Earls Court in 94 on Sky Arts last night. Brilliant! A run through of the complete album with a few differences. I quite enjoyed what they did with Great Gig in the Sky and the vocalists were impressive but not in the same league as Clare Torry. (I was lucky enough to see Roger Waters at Wembley Arena in 87 and he performed Great Gig with Clare Torry........ awesome!) There can't be many bands with a more impressive live show than Pink Floyd. I saw them at Wembley stadium in 88 and it was utterly breathtaking.........giant flying beds etc..... Unfortunately I'm not quite old enough to have caught them during the 70s. Any of you guys seen them live?

You have got to be kidding?!?!

Let's agree to disagree.

Got mine today.

He certainly does. I love his show. And I have a soft spot for CC too.

I agree Hypo......... I think the Ticket Office come on here to find out what's going on at work. But there's no excuse for unprofessional behaviour towards a customer.
