Speaking of Hammond Organ, Jon Lord was simply genius. And that sound is something we've missed in rock-n-roll for many years.
"It is not our part here to take thought only for a season, or for a few lives of Men, or for a passing age of the world. We should seek a final end of this menace, even if we do not hope to make one." — Gandalf the Wizard, The Fellowship of the Ring
Oh. Yeah.

Here's my fave --- great vid of "Lazy" played live on the 1972 tour (comments are NSFW, as you might expect). They sure were one tight blues band.
Love the line "If your drowning you don't clutch no straw, no."
ReplyDeleteAnother great song "Getting Tighter".
Also, funny line from my 7-year old when he heard the first few measures of "Smoke on the Water": "THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG EVER!!"
