    One can only hope that Jimmy sees this, and the success of similar live offerings by the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and others, and starts unleashing the reins a bit.

    Would be so good.....

    He's already alluded to a series of releases over the next ten years. Don't hold your breath.

    Hey, if it comes to pass, GREAT! I'll just have to do deep diving breath exercises.

    Can anyone please share a decent strawberry daiquiri recipe and thanks in advance.

    Why yes indeedly-do.....

    My Cheese and Kissus makes a killer Strawberry Daq. I think it is fairly stock-standard, but they are tops. But I cannot strongly recommend enough the much nicer Kelly's Comfort (the way we do it).

    Measures are per-drink. multiply as needed.

    *Sugar syrup should be pre-done: Take 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Stir and chuck it in a microwaveable container, and pop it in the microwave. Every 30 secs, stop, and stir. When all sugar is dissolved, chuck that A-grade sugar syrup in the fridge (you'll only have to stop the microwave 2 or 3 times).

    Strawberry Daiquiri.

    Per Drink....

    4 ripe Strawberries

    30ml Bacardi

    30ml Sugar Syrup

    30ml lemon juice

    Ice (roughly 4 cubes per drink)

    Pour all ingredients into a blender, blend that sucker good then strain into glass.

     

    Kelly's Comfort. Now this is the ducks nuts. This is the second greatest thing I have ever had in my mouth.....

    30ml Southern Comfort

    30ml Baileys Irish Cream

    60ml milk

    4 ripe strawberries

    15ml sugar syrup

    ice (roughly 4 cubes per drink)

    Pour all ingredients into a blender, blend that sucker good then strain into glass.

    We x3 that in our Ninja IQ blender with the 900ml cup attached (1.5 drinks each for me and missus) and it is unbeatable. I am not even a "strawberry milkshake" kinda guy. More a choc-malt. But this! Best cocktail ever.

    Enjoy!!!! Please give it a go (anyone reading this). I'd love to know if it is as good for others as it is for us. This usually kicks off our weekends.

  3. Anyone see both the Stones and Zep in '75?

    I'd bet dollars to donuts Zep KILLES it in terms of the "better concert experience". Not putting shit on the Stones, I just can't imagine a better rock show with the exception of earlier Zep! 😝 Naturally, that is why I am here and not on a Stones forum, but I still can't imagine the Stones - or anyone else - were as good. No chance. But I would be interested to hear from someone who could offer some thoughts from attending both shows.

    What I'd really like is a 'Super Deluxe' box set from RAH '70. I remember in 2004/2005 (I was 14 or 15 years old), I was playing the 2003 DVD all day.

    I will never understand as long as I live how there is a perception from anyone worth anything in music or publishing that could think RAH is not worthy of a stand alone release.

    It is one of the best if not the best early seventies live rock performances of anyone. It is THE Zeppelin showcase (besides TSRTS obviously). I seriously do not understand the reluctance (on who ever is reluctant)'s part. I just don't get it.

     

    Almost the same level for Earl's Court too. But not quite....

    Are there other Beatles albums you have not heard?  So much great material.  

    Yeah, I was really surprised to be honest. I heard that song and had to look it up to see who sang it. I've only heard what radio plays - which is a LOT of variation, but obviously not all their works. So there might be a few deep cuts I have not heard. If some of their later work is akin to this, I'll add an LP to my wish list as I am starting a Vinyl collection (very slowly).

  6. With much lower air pollution levels, there have been a few night skies that have been brilliant these last 2 weeks. I hope that continues. Both crosses are now visible for me to the south as the Saucepan (Orions Belt) recedes over the western horizon early. The two crosses always look like a 'gateway' of sorts. You can slingshot through them to the outer reaches. A nice little daydream to imagine while seeing them in the Autumn/Winter sky.  I'm looking forward to a few nights with a fire going in the backyard weather permitting! I just hope my wood pile lasts....
