A little boogie from across the pond

Proving one doesn't need more than 3 chords to play great rock n roll. Their set during Live Aid in 1985 made me a fan.

Quo are a bit of a love 'em or loathe 'em band
Get past the fairly formulaic hits and there's some great tunes on the albums.
Too far gone is a good example off that album.
I've got half an Ikea Expedit row full of Quo

I recently picked up Shamal, my first foray into the world of Gong. It's good, a bit jazzy, I'll bet one of your three is the place to start, though. What do you recommend as the quintessential disk?

Paul

Hey Paul,

The group make-up on Shamal was a different Gong. Yes, Shamal is quite jazzy, Steve Hillage plays only on 2 songs and then leaves the group, Daevid Allen (the group's founder) had left the group.

As for a quintessential disk, I'd recommend Gong's You this was the 3rd volume of the Radio Gnome trilogy.

After the You lp the group moved in a different direction under Pierre Moerlen the percussionist who joined Gong on Angel's Egg (part 2 of the trilogy). Eventually the name was changed to Pierre Moerlen's Gong, since there were a few other offshoots of the band.

cheers, Jim

Didn't recognize the lp cover how is the rest of the lp?

I bought it like alot of records because it had a hit song on it.
The album is OK but nothing more (that's just me you might like it)

Status Quo 1976

I'm sure you have this one Davey

Hi Laura,
Hello's a good one
My go to's are Dog of Two Head & Pile Driver with Quo not too far behind.
Of the later albums Never to Late and Just Supposin' are the ones that get the most spins.
To be honest I like them all up to and including In The Army Now.
Margarita Time was a bit of a low point though

Happy Hunting
Dave

Might be a compilation or named differently to the UK release.

I have a ticket stub around here someplace with that bands name on it.....along with 4 O'clock Balloon, and a local Columbus band named the Dante's. Those were the three opening acts for The Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Hi Chris,

thanks for thinking of me. I found the Michael Hedges that Peter was playing in the Soundsmith room and a couple of others in DC at a nice little used records and books store called Red Onion in the Dupont/Adams Morgan area, But not this one. Thanks.

Merry Christmas

Laura
