Here’s The Peddlers absolutely SMASHING IT on the Roger Whittaker Show in the early 1970s. Love this clip, it’s brilliantly edited. Trevor Morais is an astonishing drummer and Tab Martin’s way of playing his bass is just unique. As for Roy Phillips’ organ swells…

Just read about Matt Johnson’s (The The) fav records. He mentions that Manitas De Plata was the Jimi Hendrix of flamenco players. Found this clip on Youtube for a good example of his playing. Just wow.

From the article I read. The Quietus | Features | Baker's Dozen | Constant Companions: Matt Johnson's Favourite Albums

Well, at least they managed to get the speed/tempo of Silver Machine almost correct to the original…unlike every other ‘live’ attempt by Hawkwind that I’ve heard since then. :laughing:

Play it loud…

de Plata… yes, dazzling. I’ve always assumed that he must have been an influence, or inspiration, for Gabriela (of Rodrigo y Gabriela).

This is awesome because of:

Lee Van Cleef’s slitty-eyes
Clint’s classic cigarillo chomp
The staring competition
And most relevantly here, the music (especially the carillon) is a wonderful case of the music driving the narrative, and the narrative driving the music

One of the best 6:46 in cinema:

Custard Pie.

Another one from Tangerine, the band who play Zep just for fun.

This one looks as though it was done under lockdown conditions, but it’s nevertheless a bit good, innit.

Loads more of their stuff over on The Tube.
