Tribute to David Bowie – I’m Afraid of Americans

January 15, 2016 By Dwain Berlin

We decided to find the coolest song ever by David Bowie to pay tribute to the Thin Duke who passed way early January 2015. His career spanned decades with albums and singles topping the charts right up until ten years before his death. Amazingly, he produced one last album “Blackstar” which I have yet to hear as of writing this post.

Bowie became an icon in the music industry, leading the way for many others who modeled his bizarre stage makeup and flamboyant style. A leader in fashion and music David Bowie will be missed.

Buffalo Springfield – For What It’s Worth 1967

October 10, 2015 By Dwain Berlin

Buffalo Springfield was one of those one hit wonders from the seventies. Even though this was prety much the only song that got airplay, it sent a strong message. At that time the Vietnam war was raging and people were dying in the streets protecting the war.

Boston – More Than A Feeling – 6/17/1979 – Giants Stadium

June 27, 2015 By Dwain Berlin

Boston plays “More Than a Feeling” live at the Giants Stadium in New Jersey. The sound is a little rusty but the guitar is spot on. Rumor had it that these guys recorded their first album in a garage with a simple 8 track recorder. Talk about determination! They went on to become one of the biggest bands in the Eighties.

Ten Years After (Alvin Lee) – I’d love to change the world

June 24, 2015 By Dwain Berlin

Rare video of Alvin Lee playing with Ten Years After. It looks like they used some old video footage and played the studio track in the background, or maybe the video is out of sync. Either way “I’d Love To Change The World” was one of my all time favorites back in the day, and I was happy to find this particular video.
