If you wanted to introduce someone to their diverse range of styles in the music, and a kind of broad painting of their whole early career.

I'd make a case the three you picked are perfect for just that.

also that Midnight Rambler version is grooving, but i do think the Brussels Affair 1973 one is just the pinnacle of Midnight Rambler. (As gross as the lyric might be!)
 
When I think of Ron Wood, I think of this:

And when I think of Fleetwood Mac I think of this:

Peter Green. He died recently, it's a shame the original group never reunited.

Also there's a really good Faces concert from maybe 1975 or 1974 with Keith Richards joining them on rhythm guitar and Ronnie Wood doing the lead. Honestly one of the best concerts I've ever watched.

...back when rock music was actually dangerous...

Yes, it was sad. Mick Fleetwood did try and make it happen and I'm glad they got the 'Celebration of the Music of Peter Green' concert done back in February before the shutdown. There are sources that said Peter Green was in the audience but wasn't in the mindset to perform in front of people. Mental illness is a tough thing.

I did make a thread in honour of Peter Green when he died.


as for my clip for today.... more Stones...


Love Bill Wyman's bassline here, and Brian Jones tripping on the Mellotron & Theremin.
 
I just stumbled across this gem: a live concert performance of a suite from one of my favorite Miyazaki movies, with the score's composer, Joe Hisaishi, conducting a huge orchestra and chorus, with clips of the film. Wow.

Here's a performance that blew my mind the first time I saw and heard it the first time - and the second, third, fifth and tenth time. Jeff Beck at the 2007 "Crossroads Guitar Festival" organized by Eric Clapton. Playing a song called "Cause We've Ended As Lovers" (fair warning: this is NOT any country's Top 40 pop stuff, to put it mildly!). Jeff (the most versatile guitarist the legendary Yardbirds ever had, never mind those guys Eric C. and Jimmy P.) lets rip. But he has a young Australian female bassist, 21 at the time, named Tal Wilkenfeld, who lets fly some bass riffs that startle even him (I just noticed that the squeaky "noise generators" on my notebook are utterly incompetent to produce these sounds. in contrast to my 2008 tower with a wholly different sound card, run through active boxes and my be then if ragged, still high-powered headphones). It's worth plugging your numbers cruncher into a good stereo system ...


Ah, wth, I'll get on your nerves with the Beck / Wilkenfeld number that followed on the 2007 DVD ... even less "top 40" material ...

Not sure this is the R 'n' R Hall of Fame induction I remember - I think not - but Beck 'n' Page ...

 
Oh dear ...

In case you haven't noticed yet, I'm a guitar nut ...

 
I did find that R 'n' R Hall of Fame induction song Beck played, "A Day In The Life" by The Beatles, but despite 100% volume I could hardly hear anything.
So I'll drop this version by Beck in instead ...


YouTube suggestions dredged up the song immediately following with that Eric guy ...

Jeff Beck was amazing. He in the running to replace Mick Taylor after he left the Stones.

Kind of glad he never joined them really, his style is a bit overbearing for their brand of music. But he's great at what he does. His YARDBIRDs stuff is amazing.
 

Jack Bruce from the Cream (and Graham Bond Organisation) and the great Mick Taylor from the Rolling Stones (and Bluesbreakers)
 
Careful Gandolorian, saying 'Beck' may confuse the younger folk...

And watching the Easy Rider movie I forgot how great the soundtrack is...


 

I love this clip made from when Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page played together for a hand full of shows in The Yardbirds.


Jeff Beck said that when he melted down on stage and quit it was because the band was guitar-heavy and lyricly light and his time with the band had run its course.

Snowball's chance in hell that'll ever become my "Beck" meme in a musical context. 🙄
Then there's my closest living relative, a second cousin living in the Cologne area whose maiden name is Beck.
And a regional bakery chain with an an outlet about 200 meters from where we live called "Der Beck" ...
nah, no more room in the "Beck" meme cache for that guy ...

Play this low volume in the background if you like to add some mood to it:

I'm not really a Red Velvet fan, despite their popularity, but I'm posting this just-released cover of a pleasant-enough BoA song, because Wendy is back, at least partly recovered from her terrible fall, late last year -- and I am a fan of Wendy:


I hope the reason they're sitting down for this is because it was done live, not because Wendy may still be having difficulties standing for long periods of time. But a broken pelvis is no joke.

Get well, Wendy. ❤
 
The weekend's here! Who else wishes they could be partying* like it was 2019?


* Not to mention throwing plates! 😁
I doubt it would be approved at the Pony.

Poor Mr. Butterbur -- he'd be apoplectic about the fate of his "crockery"!
