Toots and the Maytals: Reggae Got Soul - BBC4

Great to hear a couple of Toots variations early on in this brilliant BBC4 documentary, Toots sings his "Trench Town" variation on Ray Charles' "I got a woman", followed by a recording that makes John Denver sound cool "Country Roads" Jamaican style. A brilliant documentary full of Ace information on…See More

About Me:
I'm having a Mod life crisis, going to gigs, (Booker T, The Specials (twice), Paul Weller, Small Fakers, Secret Affair, Geno, Purple Hearts and The Lambrettas), and buying clothes! What a year! Like 1980 in Cumbernauld all over again. I missed the Glasgow Mod scene in the 80s, but I was there for The Jam, The Kinks and The Style Council at the Glasgow Apollo. Great times!

The Night - Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons
Hitch Hike - Marvin Gaye
She Shot a Hole (in my Soul) - Geno Washington & the Ram Jam Band
Mickey's Monkey - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
Vespa, Lambretta or other?

No bongos David. But a 10 min drum solo on "I´m a man" by Pete. Auger did some early Steampacket-stuff...fantastic! I´ll be in London probably as early as march 2012- be a bit more expensive when Olympia hits the town later on, right!? Let me know please if anything worthwhile is going on then!

Hi David!

Spent the last week on Lanzarote following the Auger/Money gig. Which was great, of course, best of all were the Spencer Davis Group- encores (Pete York was on drums). They had a woman named Maggie Bell on vocals on some numbers- well- they might have left her at home imho. But anyway- great evening. When my time time allows i will pity you that you have to see the likes of them at Ronnie´s and 100 club etc. instead of the Zeche /Bochum, hahaha!!!

At 16:47 on November 20, 2011, Kai Ahland said…

Thanks again for pointing out the Brian Auger/Zoot Money gig tonight to me, David! I´d seen it advertised a while ago but I surely wouldn´t have noticed that Auger is to stand in for Jon Lord. I´m sure I´ll have a great evening!

At 21:56 on November 5, 2011, Kai Ahland said…

Yes, Pretty Things were great, David, apart from a few quite lame numbers from SF Sorrow. Thanks again for your tip; gonna see Zoot and Auge in two weeks, the gig ringing in my holidays!
