How was it Chippy? - and did you go to Holland specifically for the gig?

It was great, however Counting Crows weren't on this bill. I misunderstood. However they did do the song they sang with them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzQtEk9CzCA

I pretty much did go just for the concert, but I lived in Holland for 3 years so visited some friends and tried to sort out a financial problem. Enjoyed a little visit to the red light district too. I love the Netherlands. Best organised country in the world.

This puts everything in perspective (for me anyway).

The words from this (Henrk Gorecki's Symphony No 3 Opus. 36) were scrawled on a Polish Gestapo Prison cell - by a 18yr old girl about to be executed.

"Oh!Mother Do Not Cry for the Immaculate Queen of Heaven is with Me always"

Listen and be 'Moved'.

Lately I have reverted to some of my mid to late 70's rock albums,in particular "Rising" by Rainbow.It stands the test of time for me.A bit pompous/Spinal Tap at times,but some good stuff on there,"Stargazer" is still a great track!!!

Upcoming shows Bon jovi little angels Bruce Springsteen and in December Black Star Riders

Not a bad track on here, pretty much perfect.

Dio and Blackmore. What a pairing. Loved that album. Especially love when the full orchestra chimes in towards the end of Stargazer - hairs on back of neck moment. And Blackmore's minor harmonic scale for the solo - Christ, the first time I heard those notes I just sat there thinking "What the fuck is he playing??!!"

Awesome.

Actually been listening to my old Sabs albums alot lately. Volume 4 and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath contain basically every heavy metal riff used for the next 20 years by every heavy metal band!

Went to see the vaccines with a mate 2 weeks ago tonight. Brilliant concert and a great night out

Heard the final bit of Free Bird on the radio on Saturday and then spent the next couple of hours just playing it over and over again - CLASSIC!
