Nowadays it's hard to imagine being Jim 'Speedy' Kelly, the lone man with a camera in a crowd of 52,000 fans at the 1975 Pink Floyd show at Hamilton's Ivor Wynne Stadium. Speedy's footage gives a glimpse into an almost-forgotten moment in Hamilton history. More than 50,000 fans made a pilgrimage to the heart of Hamilton to see the psychedelic British band. "When the gates got torn down, thousands of people poured in there," said Rob Gronfors, who went to the concert when he was around 12 with his older brother. A prolific concert videographer, Speedy caught bands like Rush, Led Zeppelin and Alice Cooper on Super 8 film. The Ivor Wynne show was "like the Woodstock of Hamilton," said Jacob Tutt, manager of Playhouse Cinema. Tutt said footage of Pink Floyd was so rare in the 70s that most fans likely wouldn't have recognized the band members. "Through the 70s and 80s, there's very little concert footage that's out there to see of Pink Floyd playing," he said.

Lyrics: There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to Heaven When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to Heaven There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, makes me wonder There's a feeling I get when I look to the West And my spirit is crying for leaving In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees And the voices of those who stand looking Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, really makes me wonder And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter Oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now It's just a spring clean for the May queen Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on And it makes me wonder Ohh, whoa Your head is humming, and it won't go, in case you don't know The piper's calling you to join him Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind? And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last When all are one, and one is all To be a rock and not to roll And she's buying a stairway to Heaven Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Jimmy Page / Robert Anthony Plant Stairway to Heaven lyrics © Succubus Music Ltd., Sons Of Einion Publishing, Flames Of Albion Music, Inc Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Lyrics: Hopelessly passing your time in the grassland away Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air You better watch out There may be dogs about I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen Things are not what they seem What do you get for pretending the danger's not real Meek and obedient you follow the leader Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel What a surprise The look of terminal shock in your eyes Now things are really what they seem No, this is no bad dream The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want He makes me down to lie Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by With bright knives he releaseth my soul He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places He converteth me to lamb cutlets For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger When cometh the day we lowly ones Through quiet reflection, and great dedication Master the art of karate Lo, we shall rise up And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream Wave upon wave of demented avengers March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream Have you heard the news?

Unleashing the Beat: Rock/Punk Drummer Dives into the Cosmic Vibes of Classic David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust! Lyrics: Oh Oh, yeah As Ziggy played guitar Jamming good with Weird and Gilly And the Spiders from Mars He played it left hand But made it too far Became the special man But then we were Ziggy's band Ziggy really sang Screwed-up eyes and screwed-down hairdo Like some cat from Japan He could lick them by smiling He could leave them to hang They came on so loaded, man Well-hung and snow-white tan So where were the spiders While the fly tried to break our balls? With just the beer light to guide us So we bitched about his fans And should we crush his sweet hands? Oh Ziggy played for time Jiving us that we were voodoo The kids were just crass He was the nazz With God-given ass He took it all too far But boy, could he play guitar Making love with his ego Ziggy sucked up into his mind, ah Like a leper messiah When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band Oh, yeah Ooh Ziggy played guitar Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: David Bowie Ziggy Stardust lyrics © Chrysalis Music Ltd., Tintoretto Music, Chrysalis Music Ltd, Rzo Music Ltd Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Punk and Rock Drummer Listens, Reacts, and Rates Telegraph Road by Dire Straits: Lyrics A long time ago came a man on a track Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back And he put down his load where he thought it was the best He made a home in the wilderness He built a cabin and a winter store And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore And the other travellers came walking down the track And they never went further, no, they never went back Then came the churches, then came the schools Then came the lawyers, then came the rules Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads And the dirty old track was the Telegraph Road Then came the mines, then came the ore Then there was the hard times, then there was a war Telegraph sang a song about the world outside Telegraph Road got so deep and so wide Like a rolling river And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze People driving home from the factories There's six lanes of traffic Three lanes moving slow I used to like to go to work, but they shut it down I've got a right to go to work, but there's no work here to be found Yes, and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles They can always fly away from this rain and this cold You can hear them singing out their telegraph code All the way down the Telegraph Road Well, I'd sooner forget, but I remember those nights Yeah, life was just a bet on a race between the lights You had your head on my shoulder, you had your hand in my hair Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care But just believe in me, baby, and I'll take you away From out of this darkness and into the day From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain From the anger that lives on the streets with these names 'Cause I've run every red light on memory lane I've seen desperation explode into flames And I don't want to see it again From all of these signs saying, "Sorry, but we're closed" All the way Down the Telegraph Road Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Mark Knopfler Telegraph Road lyrics © Straitjacket Songs Ltd.

Rock Drummer reacts and rates a classic by Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water. Lyrics We all came out to Montreux On the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with a mobile, yeah We didn't have much time now Frank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare gun Burned the place to the ground Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky (Smoke) on the water, you guys are great They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound Funky Claude was running in and out He was pulling kids out the ground now When it all was over Find another place Swiss time was running out It seemed that we would lose the race Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky Smoke on the water Burn it down We ended up at the Grand Hotel It was empty, cold and bare The Rolling truck Stones thing just outside Huh, making our music there now With a few red lights and a few old beds We made a place to sweat No matter what we get out of this I know, I know we'll never forget Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky Smoke on the water (I can't hear anything) one more time (Smoke on the water) hey!

Rock Drummer Reacts and Rates Steely Dan's 'Don't Take Me Alive' Lyrics: Agents of the law Luckless pedestrian I know you're out there With rage in your eyes and your megaphones Saying all is forgiven Mad dog surrender How can I answer A man of my mind can do anything I'm a bookkeeper's son I don't want to shoot no one Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon Don't take me alive Got a case of dynamite I could hold out here all night Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon Don't take me alive Can you hear the evil crowd The lies and the laughter I hear my inside The mechanized hum of another world Where no sun is shining No red light flashing Here in this darkness I know what I've done I know all at once who I am I'm a bookkeeper's son I don't want to shoot no one Well I crossed my old man back in Oregon Don't take me alive Got a case of dynamite I could hold out here all night Yes I crossed my old man back in Oregon Don't take me alive Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Donald Jay Fagen / Walter Carl Becker Don’t Take Me Alive lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group

Precarious & Isolated Forest Hike To Christ the Redeemer - Rio de Janeiro I hike approx 20 km to reach this famous wonder of the world from the rear deep forests in Rio de Janeiro. Come along for the journey..

Rocinha (Portuguese pronunciation: [ʁɔˈsĩɲɐ], little farm) is the largest favela in Brazil, located in Rio de Janeiro's South Zone between the districts of São Conrado and Gávea. Rocinha is built on a steep hillside overlooking Rio de Janeiro, and is located about one kilometre from a nearby beach. Most of the favela is on a very steep hill, with many trees surrounding it. Around 200,000 people live in Rocinha, making it the most populous favela in Brazil. Although Rocinha is officially categorized as a neighbourhood, many still refer to it as a favela. It developed from a shanty town into an urbanized slum. Today, almost all the houses in Rocinha are made from concrete and brick. Some buildings are three and four storeys tall and almost all houses have basic sanitation, plumbing and electricity. Compared to simple shanty towns or slums, Rocinha has a better developed infrastructure and hundreds of businesses such as banks, medicine stores, bus routes, cable television, including locally based channel TV ROC (TV Rocinha), and, at one time, a McDonald's franchise.[2] These factors help classify Rocinha as a favela bairro, or favela neighborhood. Community There are a number of community organizations at work in Rocinha, including neighbourhood associations and numerous NGOs and non-profit educational and cultural institutions.[3][4] Rocinha is home to most of the service workers in Zona Sul (the South Zone of Rio)[citation needed]. In recent years, due to its relative safety in comparison to other favelas, Rocinha has developed tourism-oriented activities such as hostels, nightclubs and guided tours. In September 2017, between 150 and 601 tourists were estimated to visit the slum per day, despite foreign governments' and the Rio police's safety warnings recommending against it. In October 2017, a Spanish tourist died after being shot by the police while visiting Rocinha during a turf war.[5] The slum is controlled by Amigos dos Amigos,[6] although it is often caught in violent disputes among (and within) different criminal organizations.[7][5] Police and military operations In November 2011, a security operation was undertaken where hundreds of police and military patrolled the streets of Rocinha to crack down on rampant drug dealers and bring government control to the neighbourhood.[8] In December 2017, drug kingpin Rogério da Silva, known as Rogério 157, was arrested in Rocinha, in an operation involving 3,000 members of the Brazilian military and police forces. Rogério was wanted on charges of homicide, extortion, and drug trafficking.[9][10] Rocinha is the largest favela in Brazil and one of the most developed.[11] Rocinha's population was estimated at between 150,000 and 300,000 inhabitants during the 2000s;[12] but the IBGE Census of 2010 counted only 69,161 people.[13] In 2017, The Economist reported a population of 100,000 in an area of 1 km2 (250 acres).[6] In literature, film and music Robert Neuwirth discusses Rocinha in his book entitled Shadow Cities.[14] Rio de Janeiro was made the setting for the animation film Rio, where many scenes take place in Rocinha. Also, Rocinha is the setting of the book Nemesis: One Man and the Battle for Rio by Misha Glenny in which he describes the rise and fall of Antônio Francisco Bonfim Lopes. In 1998, Philip Glass wrote an orchestral piece titled "Days and Nights in Rocinha". It was meant as a reference to Ravel's Boléro, written for Dennis Russell Davies, to thank him for putting Glass' works on stage. He was inspired by dance music that he heard during the carnival, resulting in a samba-like rhythmical structure with a lot of time signature changes and varieties, such as 14/8, 15/8 and 9/8+4/4. The 2008 film The Incredible Hulk featured aerial footage of Rocinha, showing the large number of intermodal containers repurposed as housing, and included an extensive chase scene filmed in the favela on the ground and across rooftops.[15][better source needed] It was also featured in the 2011 film Fast Five. In mass media and popular culture Rocinha by Diego Baravelli.jpg Many celebrities have visited Rocinha, including Mikhail Gorbachev (during the Earth Summit of 1992) and actor Christopher Lambert. Some episodes of the Brazilian television series Cidade dos Homens (City of Men) were filmed there.

Tunnel of Love, Dire Straights - Reaction & Rating by Rock Drummer. Thank you for listening! Lyrics: Getting crazy on the waltzers But it's the life that I choose Yeah sing about the sixblade Sing about the switchback And a torture tattoo And I been riding on a ghost train Where the cars they scream and slam And I don't know where I'll be tonight But I'd always tell you where I am In a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light She had a ticket for the races Yeah just like me she was a victim of the night I put my hand upon the lever Said let it rock and let it roll I had the one arm bandit fever There was an arrow through my heart and my soul And the big wheel keep on turning Neon burning up above And I'm just high on the world Come on and take a low ride with me girl On the tunnel of love Yeah love It's just the danger, danger When you're riding at your own risk She said, "You are the perfect stranger" She said, "Baby let's keep it like this" It's just a cake walk twisting baby Yeah step right up and see Hey mister give me two, give me two now 'Cause any two can play And the big wheel keep on turning Neon burning up above And I'm just high on the world Come on and take a low ride with me girl On the tunnel of love Woah love Well it's been money for muscle on another worthy gig Money for muscle and another girl I dig Another hustle just to, just to make it big And rockaway, rockaway Oh rockaway, rockaway And girl it looks so pretty to me Like it always did Oh like the Spanish City to me When we were kids Yeah girl it looks so pretty to me Just like it always did Oh like the Spanish City to me When we were kids Check it out She took off a silver locket She said, "Remember me by this" She put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss And in the roar of dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away I could have caught up with her easy enough But something must have made me stay And the big wheel keep on turning Neon burning up above And I'm just high on this world Come on and take a low ride with me girl On the tunnel of love Yeah love, love, love On the tunnel of love Woah love, love Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Mark Knopfler Tunnel Of Love lyrics © Straitjacket Songs Ltd., Williamson Music

Rock Drummer reacts and rates, Great Britain's 'punk band' - The Damned This channel is all about music! Listening, reacting to, and rating popular and obscure music from the 60's 70's 80's, and 90's - Music that influenced my creative direction as I learned and crafted my own style whilst learning to play Drums, Guitar, and Bass. Starting out at the age of 14 as a self-taught rock drummer, I have mostly listened to music vicariously through that instrument. However, after learning to play guitar/bass over the last 6 years I have started to listen to music again from a new and different perspective. Will these same songs 'feel' and move me the same way? I will revisit classic punk rock, new wave, rock, ballad rock, metal, and progressive rock songs again for the first time in 20 years and give my new perspective by reacting live right here on YouTube and giving a brief review/analysis of the song itself and finally a rating. Also, how does the song sound differently today, if at all? Good, bad, or indifferent. Honesty will rue the day. Lyrics: I'm normal outside, he's evil inside I'm Dr. Jekyll and he's Mr Hyde I try to be true, he tries to be cruel I'll hold you gently but he'll smother you My clothes will impress you And my claws will undress you I'm normal outside, he's evil inside I'm Dr. Jekyll and he's Mr Hyde I want what's right He walks in the night Searching for sin in his Decadent life My charms will beguile you And my arms will defile you Me, I'm on the side of the angels But the Devil is my best friend Sin is a way of life Saints are for suckers Welcome to the underworld I start where nightmares end Two for the price of one Two, for the price of one I'm normal outside, he's evil inside I'm Dr. Jekyll and he's Mr Hyde I try to be true, he tries to be cruel I'll hold you gently but he'll smother you My clothes will impress you And my claws will undress you Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Paul Gray / Giorgio D'adamo / Ray Burns / Raymond Burns / Giovanni Dadomo / Dave Vanian / Chris Millar / Christopher Millar
