[Toopy14]

A cool cat from down the road in Montreal

Another great song from another Montreal artist. No. 1 on the U.S. charts on September 28, 1974.

I always enjoyed singing and playing this one from Alan Parsons' Group:

 

[Toopy14]

A 70s anthem - check the fuzzed up pedal steel

Don’t forget this one!

Tom Petty - Gone too soon - so many memorable songs - this just one (sporting a flying V which I don't recall seeing him with before).

Wow - did not know he was - is Canadian

 

[Toopy14]

Wow - did not know he was - is Canadian

Not the 70’s (69), but Andy Kim co-wrote this song and also sang on the recording as well.

Here's one for Hadley (Radley), Neil's Guitarist who used to post here often and from whom I once bought a modeller defizzer box thingy to make my Boss GT8 sound less digital

Ronnie/Rod went on to greater heights but their best for me is in Faces - check the great opening riff - loooooove that tone!! - Fire up the Fractal!

 

[TSJMajesty]

I was a HUGE Elton John fan as a kid, so I like both of these versions better than the original, especially the added parts.

 

[TSJMajesty]

And it's the late, great Dee Murray playing the bass, and Davey Johnstone on guitar, not Entwistle & Townshend respectively, as seen in the video.

Transcending decades:
