Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble "Riviera Paradise"



Stephen ("Stevie") Ray Vaughan (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990), born in Dallas, Texas, was an American blues guitarist, credited with reviving interest in blues in the 1980s. His broad appeal made him one of America's most influential electric blues guitarists. He is often referred to by his initials, SRV.

Stevie Ray Vaughan's blues style was strongly influenced by many blues guitarists. Foremost among them were Albert King, who dubbed himself Stevie's "godfather", and Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, and Jimi Hendrix. He was also strongly influenced byLonnie Mack. Stevie is recognized for his distinctive guitar sound, which was partly based on using heavy thirteen-gauge guitar strings that he tuned down one half-step. Vaughan's sound and playing style, which often incorporated simultaneous lead and rhythm parts, drew frequent comparisons to Hendrix; Vaughan covered several Hendrix tunes on his studio albums and in performance, such as "Little Wing", "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)", and "Third Stone from the Sun". He was also heavily influenced by Freddie King, another Texas bluesman, mainly in the use of tone and attack; King's heavy vibrato can clearly be heard in Vaughan's playing. Another stylistic influence was Albert Collins.
Vaughan preferred to make use of the immediate tonal capabilities of his guitar amplifiers, adding few effects. His effects included the Ibanez Tube Screamer, a wah-wah pedal, the Octavia, and occasionally a flanger/chorus. He also used volume as a dynamic, coaxing effects from the natural performance of his amps when overdriven.



"In Step" is a blues-rock album by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble released in 1989. The title In Step can be seen as referring to Vaughan's new-found sobriety, following the years of drug and alcohol use that eventually lead Vaughan into rehabilitation. It was also Vaughan's final album with Double Trouble. In 1990, he recorded a collaboration album with his brother, Jimmie Vaughan, called Family Style; later that year he died in a helicopter crash.

"Riviera Paradise" is the last track off the Stevie Ray Vaughan the last album of his short career, In Step. This is a soulful instrumental. After a full day of recording material for the album, Stevie asked his producer to leave the tape running and to turn down the lights. All alone, he recorded the guitar track on his Fender Strat. Double Trouble added the backing later, including an organ foundation from Reese Wynans.

Glenn Hughes "A Whiter Shade Of Pale"



Born in Cannock, Staffordshire, England on August 21, 1952, Glenn Hughes, also known as "The Voice of Rock", is a bassist and vocalist who fronted Finders Keepers in the 1960s, the British funk rock band, Trapeze, he was the lead vocalist for Black Sabbath in the mid 1980s and he joined forces alongside David Coverdale in the legendary Mk. III & IV line-ups of Deep Purple.
After Purple disbanded in 1976, Hughes embarked on a solo career that, though marked by a number of sudden stops and left turns along the way, continued to bear musical fruit with such gems as "Play Me Out", (his 1977 solo masterpiece, which also featured former Trapeze/future Judas Priest drummer Dave Holland and Canadian guitarist Pat Travers).

The mid-1980s found Hughes moving from one high-profile gig to the next, with albums recorded with bands and artists like Phenomena,("Phenomena" and "Phenomena II: Dream Runner"), Gary Moore ("Run For Cover"), and Black Sabbath ("Seventh Star", though this was to have been a solo album by Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, and only came out as a Sabbath album due to record label pressure).

Come Taste the Band is an album by the hard rock band, Deep Purple, recorded between August 3 and September, 1975, it was released in October 1975. It was the only studio album with Tommy Bolin, who replaced Ritchie Blackmore on lead guitar. When Ritchie left Deep Purple, everybody thought it was the end. It was David Coverdale who asked Jon Lord to keep the band together, and Tommy Bolin joined in to become the new guitar hero.
The album reached #19 in the UK charts, and #43 in the US charts.
After this album, Tommy Bolin died, and Deep Purple broke up for eight years.

Queen "These Are The Days Of Our Lives"



"These Are the Days of Our Lives" is a song by the English rock band Queen. It is the eighth track on the album Innuendo and was credited to the group as a whole (in fact, it was written by Roger Taylor).
The accompanying video was the last to feature the band's frontman Freddie Mercury as he was in the final stages of a battle with AIDS. The majority of the footage used in the video was filmed by Rudi Dolezal and Hannes Rossacher of DoRo Productions on May 30th 1991, in promotion of the song's release as a single in the U.S. Mercury, Taylor and John Deacon were present, with additional footage of guitarist Brian May filmed some weeks later, as he was out of the country on a radio promotional tour at the time of the principal film shoot. The version of the finished video serviced to the U.S. market also featured some animated footage produced by animators for the Walt Disney Studios, as Queen's North American record label, Hollywood Records, is a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. In Europe, a different, 'clean' version of the video without the animated sequences was released.
The song was issued as a double A-side single in the UK on December 9, 1991, in the wake of Mercury's death, with the seminal Queen track "Bohemian Rhapsody". The single debuted at #1 on the UK singles chart.
The song was awarded a Brit Award for "Best Single" in 1992.
The song was played on the 2005/06 Queen + Paul Rodgers tours with vocals by Roger Taylor. On stage the song was accompanied by a video of the band in their early days in Japan.

Led Zeppelin "Bron-y-aur Stomp"



Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin performing live at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970.

For the composition of their third album, Led Zeppelin III, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant retired to Bron-Yr-Aur, a remote cottage in Wales. This would result in a more rural, acoustic sound than previously exhibited by the group (and a song, "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp", misspelled as "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" on the album cover, which was a complete remake of Bert Jansch's song "The Waggoners Lad"). Strongly influenced by Celtic and folk music, the album revealed a different side of Page's versatility, most notably on the more peaceful tracks "That's The Way" and "Tangerine". Another of the folk influenced songs on Led Zeppelin III is "Gallows Pole", which takes great inspiration from Leadbelly's Gallis Pole; Plant has incorporated the song into his current band's ('The Strange Sensation') playlist, in which he restructured the song using the original riff from the Leadbelly version.
The album's rich acoustic sound initially received mixed reactions, with many critics surprised at the turn taken by the band away from the primarily electric compositions of the first two albums. Over time, however, its reputation has recovered and Led Zeppelin III is now generally praised.

David Gilmour "On An Island"



David Gilmour was asked to join Pink Floyd in January of 1968 making Pink Floyd briefly a five piece. He was used to fill in for Syd's guitar parts when the front man was too high to take a consistent part in Floyd's live performances. When Syd Barrett "left" the group, by the band choosing not to pick him up one night for a gig because of his increasingly erratic behaviour on stage, Gilmour by default assumed the role of the band's lead guitarist and shared lead vocal duties with Roger Waters and Richard Wright in Barrett's stead. Gilmour's guitar playing and song writing became major factors of Pink Floyd's world-wide success during the 1970s. However, after the back to back successes of first Dark Side of the Moon and then Wish You Were Here, Waters took more and more control over the band, writing most of Animals and The Wall by himself. The relationship between the two would further deteriorate during the making of The Wall film and the 1983 Pink Floyd album The Final Cut.
In 1986 he purchased the houseboat the Astoria which is moored on the River Thames near Hampton Court, and transformed it into a recording studio. The majority of the two most recent Pink Floyd albums and his solo 'On An Island' were recorded there.



In 1985, Waters declared that "as far as he was concerned Pink Floyd was over". However in 1986, the rest of Pink Floyd issued a press release saying that Waters had quit and the band intended on continuing without Waters. It was also at this time that Gilmour assumed full control and created A Momentary Lapse of Reason. Later, they would go on to create The Division Bell as well. Gilmour explained:

I had a number of problems with the direction of the band in our recent past, before Roger left. I thought the songs were very wordy and that, because the specific meanings of those words were so important, the music became a mere vehicle for lyrics, and not a very inspiring one... Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here were so successful not just because of Roger's contributions, but also because there was a better balance between the music and the lyrics than there has been in more recent albums. That's what I'm trying to do with A Momentary Lapse of Reason; more focus on the music, restore the balance.


On July 2, 2005, Gilmour played with Pink Floyd — including Roger Waters — at Live 8.



Musical style

Gilmour is renowned for a very precise solo style, rooted in blues and often using extreme note bends and sustain. His solos are noted for being well-composed, economical, lyrical and emotional. In interviews, Gilmour has explained that what he sees as his lack of technique led him to concentrate on melody over speed and 'virtuosity', and this is borne out by the enduring appeal of his solos. To this end, he has also been an experimenter and innovator in the use of amplifiers and guitar effects.
Whilst chiefly associated with the Fender Stratocaster, Gilmour's sound is more the result of choice of notes and playing style than specific equipment. Indeed one of his most famous solos (Another Brick in the Wall Part II) was played on a Gibson Les Paul.
Although mainly known for his guitar work, Gilmour also plays bass guitar (which he did on numerous Floyd tracks, including "One of These Days", "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", "Pigs (Three Different Ones)", "Sheep" and "Hey You"), drums, keyboards, and lately, the saxophone. [3] In fact, on the compilation album A Collection of Great Dance Songs, Gilmour had to re-record the song "Money" due to licensing problems, and played all instruments himself (except for saxophone and drums)[4].
In 1996 Gilmour was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Pink Floyd.
In August 2006 Gilmour's solo on 'Comfortably Numb' was voted the greatest guitar solo of all time. [[5]] in a poll by viewers of TV music channel Planet Rock.

Led Zeppelin "Nobody's Fault But Mine"



Presence is a studio album by English rock band Led Zeppelin, released by Swan Song Records on March 31, 1976 . This album was conceived after Robert Plant sustained serious injuries from a car accident on the Greek island of Rhodes on August 5, 1975, which postponed a planned 1975/1976 world tour by Led Zeppelin. During his convalescent period in Malibu, California, Plant, with Jimmy Page, had written enough material for rehearsals to begin at Hollywood's SIR Studio. The album was recorded within three weeks at Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany, with Plant in a wheelchair. The album peaked at #1 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart.
Jimmy Page has called Presence his favorite album, and "Achilles Last Stand" his favorite Led Zeppelin song. Robert Plant has also stated that he thinks Presence is the album that probably sounds the most "Led Zeppelin" of all their LPs...



"Nobody's Fault But Mine" ( 6:27) is a song by English rock band Led Zeppelin, released in 1976 on their album Presence. The track features a compelling riff from Jimmy Page that is complimented by some high wails from vocalist Robert Plant. The song also features what is arguably Robert Plant's best harmonica solo. Meanwhile drummer John Bonham and bassist John Paul Jones maintain the driving rhythm of the song.
From 1977 onwards "Nobody's Fault But Mine" became a vital component of Led Zeppelin concerts, and was played at virtually every concert until the group's final tour of Europe in 1980. Page and Plant would also record a version in 1994, released on their album No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded.

Led Zeppelin "In The Evening"



The summer of 1978 saw the group recording again, this time at ABBA's Polar Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. The resultant album was In Through the Out Door. After a decade of recording and touring, Led Zeppelin was now considered to be obsolete in some quarters, as mainstream musical tastes had moved in favour of disco, and the college audience momentarily turned to punk rock. Perhaps in response to shifting trends, In Through the Out Door features a great deal of sonic experimentation, making much use of Jones' well wrought keyboard skills, notably in synthesizer driven sections of the ten-and-one-half minute long "Carouselambra", and in "Fool in the Rain", which exhibits a Latin feel. These departures from the band's usual style once again drew mixed reactions from fans and critics. Nevertheless, the band still commanded legions of loyal fans, and the album easily reached #1 in the UK and the US (where it became the first album by a rock band to debut at #1 on the Billboard album chart). Other highlights include, "In the Evening", which includes a downbeat interlude which would predate a similar technique used by later grunge bands such as Nirvana, and "All My Love", Robert Plant's tribute to his late son.


Robert Plant and Jimmy Page performing "In the Evening" at Knebworth in 1979.

"In the Evening" is the first song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's final studio album, In Through the Out Door, released in 1979. The track features an extended distorted introductory section led by Jimmy Page's guitar, before beginning the song proper. The track is the most straightforward rock song on the album, yet at the same time introduces the more synthesizer driven sound found on In Through the Out Door. Page likely used a Gizmotron to create the droning effect in the beginning of the song, although it is possible he used a violin bow instead.
Led Zeppelin performed this song live during 1979 and 1980. During the 1979 performances, this song would be played directly after Page's guitar distortion solo.
