Headbang Results (2)

After the Obituary section, it was on to the Septuagenarians - 10 notables had passed this anniversary since the last Headbang:

Joni Mitchell Big Yellow Taxi
Chas Hodges  
Randy Newman Short people
Leo Lyons (TYA) Love like a man
Dickey Betts Ramblin' Man
Keith Richards Happy
Albert Lee Good riddance - time of your life
Jimmy Page Rock and Roll
Nick Mason (Pink Floyd) See Emily Play
Al Kooper Suzie Q
Note the gap against Chas' name - we did not play any Chas & Dave!

A new fun feature was Connections, for which I had 3 short examples, each of which started and ended with the same act. An easy one to start with:

Cream Strange Brew
John Mayall's Bluesbreakers Walking on Sunset
Eric Clapton Badge
Jack Bruce Sunshine of your love
Cream Tales of Brave Ulysses
Nobody needed to be told the obvious connections here, but the second one required just a little more thought:

Bad Company Can't get enough  
King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King Boz Burrell
David Bowie Heroes Robert Fripp
Mott the Hoople The Golden Age of Rock and Roll David Bowie
Bad Company Feel like making love Mick Ralphs
The connections from one track to the next are named on the right.

The last in this section was:

Patti Smith Because the night  
Bruce Springsteen Thunder Road Wrote above
Nils Lofgren Keith don't go E-Street Band
Rolling Stones Bitch Keith
Patti Smith Gimme Shelter Stones song
