Eric Clapton’s Rainbow Concert
#EricClaptonsRainbowConcert #ericclapton #70srock #petetownshend #ronniewood #stevewinwood #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky Released September 10, 1973. Slowhand had been mostly absent from the scene for a couple years. Heroine and a pining for Patti Boyd Harrison had him in a bad place. His buddy, Pete Townshend pushed Clapton to return to music and organized a couple of concerts at London's famed Rainbow Theatre.

Cut
#TheSlits #cut #70srock #punk #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #postpunk The debut album from British punkers The Slits is released on September 7, 1979. It blended a raw punk aesthetic with heavy reggae and dub influences with an inventive sound that many call a landmark album of the post-punk movement. The Slits' influence is undeniable ... from movements like riot grrrl to rockers that followed. Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain listed it as one of his…

#BostonNow you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn't take too long
Can't you see there'll come a day when it won't matter?
Come a day when you'll be gone, whoa-oh-oh
I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition
All I want is to have my Peace Of Mind -
It’s one of Jimmy Page’s all time favorite guitar solos. I’m thinkin he should probably know.

A Farewell To Kings
#rush #afarewelltokings #progressiverock #70srock #classicrock #rock #rockmusic #Music #musicsky #Musiciansky #geddylee #neilpeart #alexlifeson On September 1, 1977, Rush releases their 5th album. This is the one that followed the iconic 2112 that includes the also iconic "Xanadu" -- an 11-minute prog-rock masterpiece featuring that double-neck guitar/bass for Alex and Geddy. And, the title track -- a statement on greed and political decay.

Q: Are We Not Men?
#Devo #arewenotmen #70smusic #altrock #70srock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! The line and the band's name are based on a satirical and pessimistic theory of human society called "de-evolution". The band's concept of "de-evolution" posits that, contrary to the idea of human progress, mankind is actually regressing. Based on the last few years, I'd say they knew what the hell they were talking about.

One of two hits Jay Ferguson managed in the late 70s. At one point in time years ago, I actually learned the opening piano part. Definitely no Mozart with this Polock! The album title says it all.

“Thing sure have changed since we got kicked outta high school …”
#rocknrollhighschool #70srock #rock #rockmusic #theramones #music #musicsky #musiciansky Rock 'n Roll High School opens in theatres on August 24, 1979. The title song becomes one of their classics, and the film gains a cult following. I have it in the collection but, like Riff's math book, I only bring it out on special equations.

Slow Train Coming

Like many of his albums, it's controversial among fans. Dylan lays his personal faith on the line which doesn't sit well with many of his tight-ass fans. But the album also welcomes many new fans to the work of Orpheus. He wins a Grammy for best male vocal performance and…
