In case you didn't get around to the Alt-text, it was Lidl, not Bavaria 😊

Guess where I've been today.
A selection box of 10 Oktoberfest beers from Lidl. Labelled "Bayern-Trager", the picture on the cardboard box is of 10 50cl bottles in a line as though creating a defensive wall against a free kick. The background is the blue and white diamond pattern of a ruffled Bavarian flag.

😍 The only one (artist) that is a surprise to me is Jimmy Reed. Would love to have Synchro System again...

Would that even be allowed by the SWA? Or does it not apply to finishing wood?

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

Never owned Live. Usually, these things can be explained by a mate owning the missing disc. In this case, I'm not sure I've ever heard it 😮

I think you are correct. If it's June 29 1974, then it's disc 17 on Road to Red.

Did not know about this. Thought for a minute that Jimmy Hastings* was a member in this band, but it seems Caravan of Dreams is Richard Sinclair and Andy Ward, IIUC. * Whose musicality improves just about everything he touches.

About improvisation (re @solobasssteve.bsky.social I just mentioned) A different approach. This is a tune/head I know so well but this version still manages to surprise. And those chords are so stacked. How many fingers has he got!
