Unfortunately there won't be any time for any albums today as I'm out tonight to see a band called Black Delta Movement with their first album launch (see 'Pub Rock' thread). More tomorrow though, and by all means keep on posting your vids

I haven't seen that video before PS, looks like it was recorded in Johnny Cash's sitting room maybe?
Great track which I should have picked when the album was featured. In those earlier posts I tended to only pick one song per album, dunno why really.
Let's have another from the album before we carry on:

Nursing a slight hangover after last night's gig, time for a few while the Neurofen does its biz...No.394: "Hemispheres" by Rush (1978)
Making their mark just four years after forming as one of Canada's biggest musical forces and exports, Rush released this short but superb album. The highlight for me being this 10-minute instrumental 'La Villa Strangiato':

No.393: "Ommadawn" by Mike Oldfield (1975):format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(40)/discogs-images/R-7888628-1450979194-8573.jpeg.jpg)
This third album from the multi-instrumentalist was marginally better than it's predecessor Hergest Ridge as it didn't tend to meander as much as that album did. Branching out to feature most of Oldfield's family members and even some African tribesmen drumming, this actually had a single released from it in the shape of the pleasant ditty 'On Horseback'.
Annoyingly, as with the aforementioned Hergest Ridge, most of Mike Oldfield's videos are blocked but I did find this live excerpt from 1980:

No.392: "All That You Can't Leave Behind" by U2 (2000)
The monolithic band which features Bono, Edge, Clayton & Mullen and their millennium release. A strong set of songs featuring the instant classic Beautiful Day and many other 'anthems' designed to illuminate the huge stadiums that U2's sound is made for.

You're fine mate, I always scroll back a bit after each track I post so as not to miss any that find their way in
Thanks for clearing that one up. Strange why they didn't like the track though.

No.391: "Nobody's Heroes" by Stiff Little Fingers (1980)
Jake Burns' incendiary socio-political post-punk band from Ulster known as SLF with their best record. Still a great band live, it just a pity they didn't come onto the punk scene until a couple of years after the heyday. They would have been a serious threat to The Clash with Burns' excellent lyrics and melodic anthems, instead of the cartoonish exploits of the Sex Pistols which we did get.
Three songs from this angry, explosive album. Take it away, Kid Jensen!...
