Some really good renditions also, Nazareth for one, Bonnie Dobson with Robert Plant, live. Playing triplets all song long has me fading into the stage.. once we were warriors....wince.

Studio is ok, there for me is no better than live, all that goes with it.... second URL.

Gals, performed with many over the years, different to say the least, timing a notable, not bad just very different, subtle however is pervasive.... anyways, love these Gals, challenged at a festival on entry to stage area, "we are the girlfriends of name band"...in they went, males can be a worry... not for all i know, yet i love the energies, j *** check the arms on the drummer gal... impressive though not masculine.

You’ve knocked it on the head, pardon pun.

Preface: In this oversensitive PC age, if the following upsets anyone forgive me. But in the period mentioned we called indigenous, First Nations People, Locals and not so white Aussie people …. blackfellas.


At about 12 years old, I went to a movie night at our country town Civic Centre, by a travelling Aussie movie maker Malcolm Douglas.

He filmed a blackfella throwing a boomerang in the desert, it hit a bird in flight, the bird dropped to the ground and the blackfella caught the boomerang on its return.

Even at that young age, it didn’t add up to me, that it would return after knocking the bird out of the air and interrupting its flight.

I believed it to be an early form of AI….. they called it film editing, to satisfy the gullible.
 
As we both Hamish, go back along way in music, opposite sides of the planet, there were many the top tier bands. Nazareth was a "complete" band to my sensibilities, so it is with Pete Agnew, essential driving element to the whole sound. Not sure whom the drummer is with the clips i included, seems Pete Agnew son was the drummer from 1999?

Engine room rhythm section will allow much to happen in the melodies, key element the drums. As it was last night, a whole high school descended upon a local open mic, ended up, drummer well known to me, myself on upright bass, latter evening "house" rhythm section, we had the odd challenge as the numerous young ladies decided ballad was the best song....maybe at school or home, not nearly so much a live gig, time keeping a notable absence in their sloooow melodies. Hard slog for those young ladies, obvious was not obvious.... better tempo usually has reward for effort. Return home, fire up the music here, had the effect of just how good the older bands were, and are, when still in the land of the living, j.
 
Has some merit, never was a fan of the hard strum type of playing, yet many do, E form barr chord not easy to hold in a long song, bit of foot rhythm stomp box would make a difference, cannot help but to be a sideline punter, j. ** there is a live video of the queens and the bass player comes out naked, save for a largish electric bass, a cover required in large form or no, never saw the whole song to assess the magnitude of the cover required, wry smile herej
