    Those Classic Album docos are a good watch. Many are available on DVD/BR. Martin Birch was the man with the albums he produced in the 1970s and 1980s.

    There’s a lot to love about Iron Maiden.

    They’re well at that age where lots of groups sound old and tired but can confirm from mates who saw them in Auckland that they still sound sensational and full of energy.

    Top notch musos ( all of them, especially Steve Harris ) and Dickinson still has the voice.

    Nice guy, extremely underrated bass player and a terrific songwriter.

    I have seriously enjoyed rediscovering STPs music in the last year. Their first three albums are absolute masterpieces.

    The HBO yacht rock documentary was surprisingly good. I was pleased by how much involvement Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Toto, and Christopher Cross had.

    For those who follow along at home, it has been 13 years since the perfect Balearic remix/re-edit came out. It's still so good:

    Watched the Maylses Rolling Stones documentary about Altamont, Gimmie Shelter.

    I'd seen Cocksucker Blues before, which is an interesting document in its own way, but this was more vital in that it emphasized the fucking psychos who would go to a free concert in those days. A lot of dead-eyed Squeaky Fromme types, Hells Angels having a good time beating hippies with pool cues, and a lot of psychos trying to get to the stage.

    The black guy who got stabbed was a pimp who pulled a gun and aimed it at Jagger. Hells Angels did well in those circumstances.

    Can confirm. They've no right to be playing and moving like they are at their age. Especially Niko given his health issues leading into this tour, and how Bruce can still sing like he does while jogging around the stage is unfathomable. He must have lungs like a blue whale.

    Speaking of Maiden, Nicko McBrain has announced that he is stepping away from touring after playing in Sao Paulo today (local time). A replacement drummer will be named soon.

    His introduction with the band:

    Ritchie Blackmore is a legend. Bizarre sense of humour which goes over some people’s heads.

    I reckon it probably pisses him off that he is a much better guitarist than Jimmy Page but Page was in a better band.

    A ridiculously talented and underrated guitarist.

    Nesmith was a genius because he took the socal/texas country rock format and extended it.

    Rio builds into a bossanova groove, and uses brazillian jazz harmonies.

    What a song.

    Well it’s better than his Sunset Sam song at least
