It’s called “Now This Is Music” and it’s the place where we can share what music we’re listening to now.
It’s similar to our ‘What are you listening to now’ posts but with a bit more class.

Hey Mr LD nice touch here already like the Peter gabrial song
Looking forward to more songs that you are listening to
I think you’ve missed the point here Mr SA. I get the impression that Mr D wants us to share what music we are listening to, not just list his own.
I have the day off today so I kicked off with Peter Green’s Time Traders. Maybe not his best, but nice and easy to get the day started off with. One or two exceptions, but in general it’s not the Blues that everyone expects from him.
Then, as the guitar buzz had kicked in, it was The Guitar Trio – John McLaughlin, Ali De Meola & Paco De Lucia. Now if that one isn’t just super cool then I don’t know what is.
Come on Mr SA – what’s doing it for you right now.
And where has UncleRaveDave gone?
Correct Mr Spacey same as old post “what you’re listening to”but you can comment on songs link to well.
UncleRD a bit busy at mo – but I have told how much he’s being missed here.
Buddy Guy jamming “Champagne & Reefer” with the Stones on “Shine a Light”. Everyone talks about Keith Richards handing his guitar over to Buddy at the end of the song, with a simple “It’s yours”, but for me the defining image is the close-up of Richards spitting his cigarette out mid-song, in a shower of sparks. Great camerawork. Hey, and Mick plays some mean harp too.
If you ever want to watch a buncha blokes having REAL fun with their music and their craft, watch this. You get the idea that the crowd almost doesn’t matter ?

NEW YORK — An army of fans — more than 500,000 of them — went out to support Sade’s (shah-DAY’) latest CD, “Soldier of Love,” giving the group their first No. 1 disc in 20 years.
“Soldier of Love” sold 501,665 units in its first week, debuting on top of the Billboard 200 album charts, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The CD is the follow-up to their Grammy-winning album “Lovers Rock,” released in 2000.
The group is led by 51-year-old Sade Adu (ah-DOO’).

Hi UncleRaveydavey – welcome back and thanks for sharing this clip, great stuff. One question – where was it filmed? There seems to be a gaggle of super models in the front 3 rows – what on earth are they doing there?
LD, the Stones clip is from the 2008 “documentary” film, “Shine a Light”, directed by Martin Scorsese. It documents a Stones performance at the Beacon Theatre in late 2006. Also has guest appearances by Jack White and Christina Aguilera.
PS: I must confess I’ve never noticed the super models – I’ll have to watch it again. Damn !
Hey URD welcome back where u been…….I enjoyed both videos thanks
Loved the Stones / Buddy Guy track, makes you wonder how The Stones would have got on if they had stuck to The Blues. Maybe wouldn’t have had they fame they achieved, but I bet the music would have been awesome.
I seen The Stones way back in the early ’80′s (Steel Wheels tour). They sure didn’t play anything as good as this one though. The thing that always put me off of them was Jagger’s posturing. No doubt it made him a bit hit with the ladies, but that’s probably the reason I always thought they were better heard than seen.
Sade on the other hand can be listened to and watched with glee!! haven’t heard much of her for some time, still sounds good though.

This one keeps popping up on my recommendations on Amazon, but I never got around to listening to it. Then in the library today I found it in the music section so I just had to take it out.
Jury is still out on it, but it sounds promising. There seems to be a lot more going on than is apparent at first listen so I probably have to spend some time with it.
For those of you who maybe never have heard this, here is what I regard as one of the finest examples of slide guitar, ever. My apologies that I couldn’t find a better video. Sometimes it’s better just to let the music speak for itself.

Sin Again, Ken, I’ll get you into the blues yet ….
I defy anyone not to be moved by this

( … it’d be really crap, if it wasn’t Neil Young singing it though … )
,,, and my favourite sax solo (well, a bit of the solo, anyhow) …

I’ll try not to be too negative here – but I saw the Stones in Cardiff in 1990 and was not too impressed. The old Brit band Thunder supported and they were great but I felt Mick et al. were just flat and lifeless – maybe just a bad night.
Interesting – will explore more thanks Spacey
Perfect just perfect
Great stuff 1 reason not to hate the 80′s (was this released in the 80′s).
Wait till you hear track 7 of next months mini mix – now that’s a great sax solo
I have to admit, when I seen The Stones I wasn’t too impressed either, all the songs seemed to to sound the same. And Jagger’s posing drove me to the bar in the end.
But… the venue they played in was tiny compared to their usual haunts (2000). By sheer luck I just happened to be next door (in a record shop of course) when it was announced over the radio that tickets had gone on sale for that gig. It hadn’t even been announced before then. It was just a warm up for a major tour starting in Glasgow a few days later. So, I popped next door, was first in the queue and bought 4 front row tickets. Kept one each for me and a friend and sold the other two within a couple of days for a ridiculous price. So at least I got something out of it.
As far as I know, Will You was released in 1980. And I don’t hate the ’80′s although everyone else seems to. have you all forgotten the NWOBHM? Yes there was loads of crap involved, but there was also loads of gigs and a few good bands did emerge from it. Unfortunately so did Def Leppard.
But that sax solo in Will You still sounds awesome, for me though, it’s the only good thing about the song. Don’t know who is actually playing it but it’s up there with the sax on Wish You Were Here.
And as a matter of curiosity, Mr Dog, what is ‘perfect just perfect’?
Anyway, tonight I am off to watch this band:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pV7eOkG_kY&feature=channel
Don’t really know what to expect but once a couple of beers are in it should be OK. And, I found out that Fairport Convention are coming to play Cork in a mere 3 weeks time. All very well, but they are playing on Mrs SP’s birthday – and she doesn’t like them!!! Anyone got any ideas how I can get around that one?
I would love to going to see The Dizzy Blues tonight – couple of beers, kebab on way home – enjoy.
One idea could be to tell Mrs. SP that you taking her to see Keith Jarrett in concert for her birthday – buy 2 tickets for FC one at the back one at front – give her the one at front you at back so you can make a quick exit when she starts throwing things. But at least you will b e there.
Perfect just perfect was for UncleRD’s you tube clip of Ry Cooder.
More ’80′s chat to come

Music Matters
(Cass Fox)
For all those who stood up and were counted
For all those for whom money was no motive
For all those for whom music was a message
I want to thank you
For making me
A little more sure
A little more wise
And courageous
You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me that music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door
I won’t stop here
I won’t be still until the sun sets
On us all..
(Maxi Jazz)
Under the sheets with my radio
Turn down low
So nobody know
It’s the late night show
Hopin’ to hear ‘Hey Joe’
Jimi was my hero
Head blown by Todd R. A wizard a true star
From BAMMALAMMA to TAMLA MO
Curtis Mayfield
to Kurtis Blow
Singing into my pillow
And praying I don’t dose
Until my 9 Volt battery goes..

Thanks for posting UnkyRD – I’m more of a “Pulling off tights with my teeth” man, but I can see where you’re coming from.
Re: Music Matters:
Actually, LD, I agree with your preferred track. I just happened upon this clip that a friend posted on Facebook, and thought the lyrics rather apt for this site.
And I can relate particularly to Maxi Jazz hoping to hear his favourite songs on late night radio. When I was just getting into music in a big way, we had a Medium Wave broadcaster (Capital Radio) that was the only station playing early Police, Madness, Jona Lewie, Clash, Siouxsie, Specials, Dury, Cure, Ramones, UB40 etc. But the station was very remote, and we could only get reception during the hours of darkness. Many, MANY hours spent till after midnight with the volume turned down low, so that the parents wouldn’t know, just so you could get bragging rights the next day at school about which songs you’d managed to hear. I still can’t hear those songs without thinking they sounded somehow more “alive” drifting in and out through the static. That sort of radio had a certain romance that is lost now in the digital age, don’tcha think ?
