Well, how about the 1951 Bayreuth performance of the Ninth. Furtwangler / Schwarzkopf / Edelmann / Hopf and Hongen. As much as I've always loved your van Karajan choice, Art, the Bayreuth performance (this one of the two recordings, both of which are wond...
. . . and travel to any concert, in any venue we wish. If I had to choose, it would be the Marquee Club, July 12th, 1962. The following clip . . . . . . is from a few years after their first show, but you get the idea ;-) . . .
for taking the time to show this magnificent set from your Vinyl collection . Do you collect Vinyl records ? Enjoyed reading what you photographed. It looks like this weeks wristscan is much much more than just watches. Thank you for initiating the theme ...
Hello Art, my Seamaster is already there - my family will have to travel a long way to France this night for a holiday in the Médoc. More than any artistic performances I like the natural beauties of the seaside: music in my ears and artwork to my eyes! H...
Great watch Andreas, but dont let it near the sea. I think i would have taken your smp300 so you dont have to take it off all week. Have good holidays G
Dear Graham, of course the SM 300 will also be with me, sort of beach beater when activities are too heavy for the vintage Seamaster. Best regards Andreas ...
We will stay at the tip of the Medoc peninsula near Le Verdon-sur-Mer, but only for 9 days. Probably we will see your remarkable Unimog on the other side of the motorway on our way home? Enjoy your trip there! anaesdoc
I've been very lucky, saw Zeppelin at knebworth festival when i was 14 and my sister took me, saw Floyd perform the wall, Genesis on the Duke tour and many more. I do wish i'd been in Japan when Deep Purple recorded their 'live in Japan' album. The best l...
Not too bothered about Cozy Powell, but love Blackmore. Its a shame that he had musical differences with Ian Gillan and Roger Glover or that Purple lineup may have lasted a lot longer. I loved the stuff he did with Dio in Rainbow, but when Dio left it wen...
Its just arrived and looks like a boring vintage Omega, but check out the Omega forum in next couple of days to see the mystery revealed. G In the background you can see clocksynch in action. I like to start off at the right time. What happens from there ...

Great topic art, had me scratching my head. If I had been old enough I would have been at a concert a week from '68 to 74! I did eventually see Steely Dan when they reformed, but would have been brilliant to see them in their heyday. This song always remi...
. . . because, as far as I know, they played very few live shows, at least when they were a current item, back in the '70s. They were essentially a studio band having Becker and Fagen as the nucleus, with session players revolving around them. Never saw t...
That would explain why I found very little early material of their gigs! I did manage to see them when they refromed in the Nineties and while they were great, I always thought it would have been brilliant to see them in their early heyday. Here's another...
...the Velvets still remain one of my all time favorite bands. Heroin. Though Steely Dan was primarily a studio band, with all the incredible talent and production quality they used on their records, still would have been fun to catch them in concert. You...
struck me as the band that were the handover from the Beat generation to the next one, but were more proto-punk than Hippy. One small trivia detail, Lonesome Cowboy Bill was a song said to be dedicated to William Burroughs, whiel Steely Dan was a name tak...
Old watch here, not haute horology but my wife's grandmother's and a period piece. And some old Bruce. I didn't see this concert but did see others at the time and they won't be forgotten soon. And, now, sadly, can never even attempted to be repeated. Che...
. . . yeah, those were the good ol' days. Never saw Bruce perform, but did catch a glimpse of him walking into the Roxy recently (last year? . . . memory is fuzzy on this).
Caught Bruce and Clarence and the band a few times in Asbury Park - the Stony Pony - at the time Born to Run came out. Maybe I wasn't critical because I was young or Bruce was at a peak, but it was incredible.
...and of course Andreas is on the money about the FPJ connection. For the benefit of others, Keith Jarrett not only wears FPJ, he was an 'early adopter' and a brand ambassador (as seen in the following page from an early FPJ catalogue) - Keith very kindl...
I spent over an hour sweltering at a reception last night to commemorate Raoul Wallenberg, and wore my most appropriate watch. I'm not to sure about Swedish songs about human rights or the military - Waterloo by Abba seems not quite appropriate. ...
. . . during the late '80s to early '90s when I pushed myself to appreciate jazz. Sarah Vaughn (twice, and with Joe Williams both times), Lionel Hampton, Ahmad Jamal, Illinois Jacquet, Phil Upchurch, Cleo Laine and John Dankworth, and many, many more. Unf...
I had a teacher at school who lent me his record collection and I found my way in through fusion and smooth jazz; Chick Corea, Bob James, Al Jarreau etc. After that, I went off the deep end.
Just arrived home and I was listening this song played by John McLaughlin (from the album Time Remembered). Great taste of yours, for music and watches, Nilo
I second the motion about being at the Vanguard! Might not have revved me up the way Bruce did (see my posting above) but would have made me no less happy.
Would have loved to hold this card to get into The Paradise Garage Club with Larry Levan spinning his best tunes www.youtube.com but I treat myself well in others garages Preferred watch is Abercrombie & Fitch Seafarer made by Heuer http://img341.imag...

And i thought cocaine was the choice of rockers :D Did you know that Eric is a bit of a watch collector with vintsge AP's etc G On Sep 1, 2012 4:16 AM, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* Dr No (registered) on August 31st, 201...
. . . as part of a charity drive to fund a rehab center in the Caribbean. Although it's possible he pulled a Graham, and rebuilt the collection from scratch. :-)
Its quite possible he did Art. I got my info from my sisters whose friend works/worked for him at his UK house. Another rock star who lives or has a house near hers on the surrey/sussex border. G

I don't have a concert I would have liked to attend to that much but when I was a teenager it could certainly have been for UB40. Here I chose Red red wine : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXt56MB-3vc&feature=autoplay&list=AL94UKMTqg-9CwROQJx8ujLd...
