slotperfect 7 #1 July 13, 2008 There were a series of benefit concerts for Amnesty International in the late 70s and early 80s. I remember having an album from e second one at some point. "The Secret Policemens Ball" - the 1979 concert - included these few minutes of brilliance by Pete Townshend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t9slqL_eSw This is by far my favorite acoustic Pete Townshend performance.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slotperfect 7 #3 July 13, 2008 My fave from Lindsey Buckingham is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KswVThZH41w&feature=related As a guitarist, he is self-taught . . . never took a lesson. Only plays with his fingers - doesn't use a pick. A very interesting cat.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BIGUN 1,488 #5 July 13, 2008 QuoteDo you recognize Robin Trower as the guitarist? Admittedly, I knew he was one of the band members, but did not know for that particular song. Another oldie, but goodie for me was Vince Martell (sp?) with Vanilla Fudge. Unfortunately, I have been trying (time permitting) to find their rendition of Eleanor Rigbie (probably influenced by David Cook's recent rendition of Eleanor Rigbie) and pulling that from the deep recesses of my mind's musical Rolodex.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
