[ZJoHanable]

great song !!!

[stackingswivel]

great great songs, IMMENSE TALENT. anyone who thinks otherwise is tone deaf, stupid or knows nothing about music,even rick grech,the least known, is a very underated and unhearled bass /violin player...

[maskedman72]

the difference between this concert and the moon landing is the fact that one of them actually happened!

[nantasketph]

Richard Roman Grech (1 November 1946 – 17 March 1990) R.I.P.

Well, at least we know this concert actually took place as opposed to that sham moon landing. How can people be so naive?

Thanks for the post. I watched that landing on Baker's TV. Another great Silver Bullet multi-band show from that spring and summer following the assassination of Martin Luther King when Klotzman was trying to help revitalize the downtown again. I have that poster and I'm still looking for the Spirit/Butterfly/Lemon Lime poster from that year.

[beroth77]

the singers sounds exacttly Grahan Bonnet,is it him?

[wilsonmcphert]

@beroth77

The singer is Steve Winwood.

[beroth77]

@wilsonmcphert wow didnt know he could sing that high i.tank you

[bsonor]

I've always loved this violin solo...

[billindurham]

....um, the moon walk was pretty cool. I saw it on a 6" Sony screen in a VW camper parked on the PA Turnpike. The earlier landing I heard piped thru speakers on Willow Grove NAS runways. Inner space, outer space - they were magical times.

I would rather have seen Blind Faith than the moon landing :-)

Thanks for this. I was at this show also. Ginger Baker had a tv backstage as the moonwalk took place about 10:56 pm. It is why only 5000 of 14000 seats were full. What a great time for music. July 11 and 12 I was at the Laurel Pop Festival and saw Page wZep, Beck wRod Stewart, Sly, Alvin Lee, Mothers, Johnny Winter, Buddy Guy, Guess Who. Saw Cream Nov 3 68 and Hendrix May 16 69 at Balto Civic Center. Clapton & Winwood fantastic on latest tour dvd.

Thanks for that info about the BF concert. Unfortunately I missed Laurel but still have a newspaper clipping with the line up. I saw Hendrix at BCC in June 1970. Also saw Ten Years After in a college hall in DC around the time of Laurel and they were sensational. I was living in the USA '69 to '71 and saw some great bands.

The violin solo is perfect

[DONDIVA1969]

Pleasant tune but the band was way over-rated.

[nowurtalkin]

@DONDIVA1969 overrated....ha....by who?....nobody has ever overrated them...only underrated....unmatched talent, creativity, pioneering, musiciamship, etc....and "..pleasant tune..."???.....yeah...maybe if you're 99% deaf and/or on too much valium....easily one of the most beautiful pieces ever made...and holds up 1000% to that 41 yrs later....listening to it takes me touring through galaxies...

[tuffymouseart49]

this has the most excellantte' vocals with the stress and stretching on the highs. It also brings back memories from the movie by the same name.

[plino4403]

Love this song, and the violin is magical.

[tankstillton]

great tune but most people dont believe in the moon landing on that day.

[rain4est81]

this is what they should have been listening to as they landed. rain4est81

[MrMattTheKnife]

[MrPinoyrock]

What a great tune! Thanks!
