So, back on topic (could a moderator speak to this Dad bloke who keeps taking it off?), just listened to the whole Warren Zevon Excitable Boy album and loved it, definitely an album that you have to listen to as an album, one that the whole is so much greater than the sum of its parts, but well worth a listen. Very distinctive late 70's West Coat feel if you like that sort of thing (as opposed to mid 70's West Coast feel; the shift is to my mind a bit like the shift from mid 60's to late 60's Motown)

Certainly looks like Ice Blue

Agreed

Haha, slap bang in the middle of the two colours in question (on my screen anyway)

You need to check the Ford colour charts from the early 60's for a definitive answer To my eye, the bass on the right is LPB

A guitarist in an old band of mine, a band that I should point out was a bunch of middle-aged and middle-class blokes, refused to play The Joker on account of it being the sort of song a bunch of middle-aged and middle-class blokes would play. Steve Miliband gets my vote

Didn't even think of that, the political history of this country could have been changed had the better Miller Band been selected as Labour leader! Sounds like a Glen versus Steve shoot out is needed?

I think I get the comments, we all like a light bass, but a body that's too light can really stand out on a quality bass, just feels wrong

Hi Tony, welcome to the forum, hope all's OK with the bass, some more photos might help the experts here offer you a reliable opinion?

Four guitarists, rehearsals must have been hell Hate those BVs on the chorus as well.

In the context of this thread's origins and direction, this seems relevant......

I think Dodo would be a closer analogy to KW to be honest

And while we're at it.....

This is for you @Dad3353

I wonder how his early attempts at dating went ‘Hi, I’m Crispy pink torpedo’. I imagine business meetings aren’t much fun either?

We had a rhythm guitarist with a similar approach, although he was so swamped in reverb no-one really noticed. Why was he in the band I hear you ask? He had a van

If only the parents of the Miliband brothers had the sense of humour to have named one of them Glen

I get the impression that if you get a good Ampeg form new it'll often stay good, but if you get a bad one, best not to try to get it fixed, just return it for an exchange or refund, because they have a nasty habit of staying bad.

Three clues for future reference Phil. First the spare ticket which you picked up on. Second "I think you'll like it". Third, The Barbican. I won't even mention the fact that the band was named after a physics thing

I have a good friend who's an academic in internet/fake news and he's adamant that fake news was far more of a problem before the internet, because at least these days the clarification can move quickly. Oddly however, we're still occasionally hearing that Gene Wilder has just died. Go figure?

By which I meant that I could have stayed at home for a far better musical and theatrical experience, as it was was nothing more than a bunch of blokes standing at keyboards; at least Kraftwerk had the decency and creativity to put on a show (although I have to say they were a little robotic). But I guess the thing is, for the TD fans, it was about being there, I didn't get that, but my mates did, for them being with like-minded folks in the same place at the same time sharing the event was the point, not the music or the performance, a bit like church or sport for many. Plenty of folks still go to watch Gillingham play football for much the same reason.

Horses for courses. I once went to see Tangerine Dream 'live', I rest my case

On reflection it was a slightly more combative than necessary exchange of strongly held views Hope all's good in N.C.
