Music of the blessed Dead

Post by Firebird »

David Crosby, this one really got me. His music became part of my blood. Fantastic artist that harmonized so well with his many band members.
You were a tough one and vowed only the good die young. Thanks for some of the best music of the 1970's. RIP.

Even though drawn from a biblical verse, this was a great song, and one of few views of a mustache-less David.
The Byrds from the Ed Sullivan show where they actually got to sing! (back in the day most of these groups had to Lip Sync songs and many artists hated having to do that) Turn, Turn, Turn 1965

so many songs it's hard to choose
Here with Grahm Nash. Guinevere, live 1970


I'll be back with something to remember Jeff Beck and Christine McVie

Farewell Christine McVie
Written about 1977 is this beautiful tune, Songbird. Christine woke at around 3:30 in the morning and wrote this song in 30 minutes. She said it was like being visited by a spiritual being. RIP

It was tough trying to find a good representation of Jeff Beck, I mean, the man was everywhere and played with nearly Everybody! And he was consistent, from the 1960's to present day. He was a busy guy. He started out with the Yardbirds where he came into contact with Jimmy Page. (oh yes and Eric Clapton too) There is a great performance of them of the on "Train Kept a Rollin". There was so many of this version. It was hard to choose.
this is early 1964?

this with Steven Tyler 2016

I highly recommend surfing through the "tube" to view some of the many other famous musicians he played with. It is astounding.
Such a spirit with music itself, Rock and Roll weeps for yet another legend gone to play in the Summerland.
