70's Music

End of the 1970s......................most beautiful nevertheless

Electric Light Orchestra - Need Her Love (Audio)​

I saw ELO in the early 70s. It was inside a small ice rink (converted over for giving concerts), they and Black Oak Arkansas opened for Johnny Winter.

Good times.

Local Columbus, Ohio band....

If there was a soundtrack for my college years from 1972 to 1976 it would have started with Cat Stevens and the Bee Gees conclude things. Plus in between, all the great music we'd dance to during the Beer Blasts held on campus at the Student Union.

Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty

Haven't gone through all the thread yet, but in case this one was somehow neglected I think it needs to be mentioned too. Was one of my favorites and my wife uses it as a ring tone to this day

Like the song but don't think it fits the time frame.

"Remember 10cc? They are not doing well these days", this was a phrase from a radio show I was listening to long ago and then they put on this song.

Lol. Thanks. I wrote that as a PC joke but failed miserably

Heard this song ages ago living behind the Iron Curtain in the old USSR, loved it, it stuck in my mind and it must be the first time since then that I'm hearing it again. Amazing. Thanks a lot.
Didn't know a word of English then and couldn't have any idea of what it might be about. Must be because it was about the plight of the oppressed Indians among the other poor people the cruel imperialist Americans oppressed back then that it was able to breach the barrier and get to us.

Pogo ... ever seen this little French tart? She's all grown up now, even been on the French Dancing with the stars, but this is one of her break out hits from long ago...

Interesting choice of the word. What did you call her a ***** for?

I have to think Papa Ray would approve.

Yeah, if I had to guess, I think I must have seen ELO right around 1972. I would have been 16 then and right at the early edge of beginning to sew my oats. ELO would have been on some of their very first concerts of their first tour then, playing I assume mostly or all stuff off their first album. And that might have been the first concert I went to, and that would have made them the first band I ever saw.

Oh! I know Souther. (if he's still kickin')
Oh no.
He was an alright dude. Straight up.
He had a spot to hang out and bbq and play in his backyard.
I liked that Souther, he was real guy. Wish more were like him.
