Found these guys, all instrumental from France with some cool mellow electric guitar, sort a psychedelic jazz rock sounds, great for being locked away due to the virus restrictions...!

I've been waiting for this as well as a re-release of Kiln House, the last record with Kirwan and Spencer.
December 6, 1974, Fleetwood Mac (still a blues band at this point) opened for the Climax Blues Band at the Long Beach Arena, I won tickets from KNAC and was there...! _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.”

Peter Green kinda got lost in the shuffle. He retired to become an adherent of the Guru Maharaj Gi. (Otherwise known as the Fat Kid). His disciples were known for hawking boxes of Sopie Mae Peanut Brittle.
As I go about my business, the video linked below keeps coming up and I keep listening to it. I was a big fan of Loggins and Messina, if for no other reason, their production was second to none. They would "jam," but not really, as they were simply really long songs, orchestrated, like Same Old Wine and as below:

They, as well as Poco, deserve to be in the RRHOF.
Lengthy but not boring. Solos are educated. Love da hell outa the bass it really grabbed me. Great vocal mix. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

For the Courtney Barnett fans, a new one: Scotty Says
What? No one listening to anything. I guess it is up to me.
Here she is again, that is Courtney Barnett. This time it is with Phoebe Bridges, performing virtually at the Newport Folk Festival, covering the really captivating Gillian Welch song, Everything Is Free

Coming out of LA and with Rodney on the ROQ helping to give them a boost, we now have the Showtime special, The Go-Go's. The story is anything but new to rock and roll, but just the same, it is totally engrossing-- though I must admit I really enjoy "coming to be" (yes, I just made that up) documentaries on rock bands and rock stars.
Like with most groups, The Go-Go's had nothing, then something special, then nothing (due to the mess that is the human experience mixed in with the demands of rock and roll and fame), and had everything in between. In other words, they were just like all groups--yeah, just like the dudes. As it turns out, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts is clearly demonstrated by these very talented gals, and they finally realized this and got back together.

I recorded this on my DVR, but have not watched it yet.
While not a huge fan, I did see the Go-Gos back in the late 70's/early 80's when they opened for the Ventures at the Whisky (or Roxy) in Hollywood, I had never heard of them at the time and it was obviously before they were famous, but I gotta say, they were not that impressive and had that unrefined "garage band" sound, and there was nothing to predict how big and popular they would go on to become...
I knew someone in The Crowd (early HB punk band) that performed with them at gigs and when they were both toiling on the LA club circuit in those early years... _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.”
Saw Rory twice back in the 70's! There was no one who put on a better show that him, he would come out in the blue denim jacket and just jam, and when he peeled it off an hour into the show, he was a sweaty mess, but neither show was less than 2-1/2 hours of just raw jamming and blazing guitar blues-rock...!
RIP Rory... _________________ “Always remember... Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.”

Hey, how lucky you are. You will get to see some of their early concerts again. Yeah, they were darn awful and raw as roadkill--and they readily admit it.
Then, they got better. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"
