What are you listening to now ?

Two more nostalgia sojourns.

Ariel - "As you leave"


This originally came out in 1973, sold seven million singles. Here's the same band "Tsvety", from 1995.

 
Concrete Blonde is back on the road again I just heard. Great news. I take it that she has her recently acquired tattooing skills in place now to keep her busy in later years when off the road. :).
Pat Travers as well. Promoting their new CD in Canada and the U.S mid west which I read they're on now at this moment.

Roger Hodgson from Supertamp:
 
My first breakfast in America was on April, 24th, 1979 at La Guardia Airport. Some scrambled eggs and coffee. $7. A Big Mac value meal was ~ $1.80. Runway robbery.

 
One of the greatest heavy metal albums ever. I have the CD. Someone uploaded the whole thing to YouTube and, after half a year, it has fewer than 10,000 views. But the up/downvote ratio is a highly impressive 155/3.

 
The group In Flames featuring classical vocalist Emilia Feldt starting about half way through. Also of note is their early use of LED stage lighting.

So, it's quite obvious that those who grew up in the Soviet 70's had a special thing for Deep Purple. Or, as it's written in Russian, Dip Pepl. Which is why what you're seeing here is an homage rather than a parody.

 
@DLD: Dvx needs a "share" button but then I think about Larry R having to code it all. :)
Very Cool DLD. Sharing that one. :)

Possibly on a more personal note if we're having beerskis and smilies...I am...

This was from a few years ago off a show titled (loosely translated) the Identical Copy, where the performers dressed up and imitated a classic act, some Soviet some foreign. Which is sort of odd since foreign rock bands were an extremely rare sight prior to perestroika and hard rock/heavy metal was banned from any TV/radio play.

What they're imitating here is the May, 1973 Mark II live show that aired on ABC's "In Concert" series. Dyatlov, the singer, has that 1973 relatively short-haired Gillan look.


The difference to a DP fan is that the Russian copy is note-for-note replica from the 1972 "Machine Head" album, while DP never played the same song the same way twice. Also, the Russians use multiple vocalists on the chorus while MKII lineup only had Gillan. The MKIII was the one that used both Coverdale and Hughes.
