Great track. But I did prefer Shootong at the Moon as an album. Unfortunately it's from 1970 so doesn't fit this thread.Stig said:

Tapestry - Carole King0

Sandy Denny - The North Star Grassman & The Ravens
Fairport Convention had started fragmenting by 1971 & the imcomparable Sany Denny had gone solo, I think i prefer Sandy which came out the next year but this is proof that virtually every legendary, quality artist of the time was active in 710 -

Yeah you could...if doing 'Great albums of 1970'. In which case I'd also put in Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young - Deja vu.Addick in SW16 said:0 -
1971: one of the best ever years for albums.
Most of my favourites have been mentioned already but a few I'd add:
Mud Slide Slim, James Taylor
Nursery Crime, Genesis
Fragile, Yes
Nilsson Schmilsson0 -
Man, by Man.
Classic line up with Terry Williams (Rockpile, Dire Straits) and Martin Ace.
With the all time classic tracks
"Would the Christians wait five minutes, the lions are having a draw"
and
"Daughter of the fireplace"

Ah damn. Was Gold Rush 1970? Usually really good with album years but for some reason I've always had a mental block over this one.JaShea99 said:

King Curtis Live At Filmore West, coupled with its companion album, Aretha Franklin Live At Filmore West, from the same show. Curtis was her musical director.
Curtis and his band were on first, then came back on to play behind Aretha, so you have Curtis on saxophone, Bernard Purdie on drums, Cornell Dupree on guitar and Billy Preston on organ on both albums. Both released in 1971.1 -
How could I have forgotten Humble Pie - Performance, Live at the Filmore.

Is that the one that starts with the percussive cover of For Your Love, where Marriott says to the chattering audience, 'Why doncha SHADDAP!'DaveMehmet said:How could I have forgotten Humble Pie - Performance, Live at the Filmore.

I continue to enjoy these:
GONG - Camembert Electrique
This startling and wholly original album was released in France in October 1971 on BYG Actuel (and was reissued in the UK three years later by Virgin Records).
Focus - Focus II (aka Moving Waves)
The second studio album from the Dutch prog/rock band, released in October 1971 on Imperial Records. (Focus will perform at The Beaverwood Club, in Chislehurst, this October).
Ash Ra Tempel - The eponymous debut studio album by Manuel Göttsching's trippy / prog 'Krautrock' band. Recorded in March 1971, it was released in June of that year on Ohr.
(I, too, cherish DB's Hunky Dory)</blockquote
And so do I.
To add three of many other great albums:
Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink
Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame
Soft Machine - Fourth.
Is there more music like this waiting to be created?0 -
Blue :Joni M
Zep:4
Live at the isle of wight, Hendrix, although Polydor screwed up the album tapes.
Rory Gallagher : Rory Gallagher.
Bryter later: Nick Drake.
Live Free: Free
John Martyn:Bless the weather
Harvest: Neil Young
Amongst many, many more

Egg - The Polite Force
The second album by British 'prog' band Egg, The Polite Force is regarded by many as the band’s best work. It was released in February 1971 on the Deram record label. Egg were a musically tight ensemble who produced some lovely melodic material, often using irregular time signatures. The LP's opening track is the splendid A visit to Newport Hospital which recalls the band's origin.

I'm surprised we haven't had a mention of Curved Airs 2nd album.
The single Back street luv did quite well in the chart for a prog band.
Daryll Way the violinist with Curved Air did a gig at Thames Poly with His band Daryll ways wolf which was one of the best i've seen.2 -
Think I may have been to that at Woolwich Poly ...73/74?Baldybonce said:I'm surprised we haven't had a mention of Curved Airs 2nd album.
