On the other hand, what will most of us be doing in our 70s?
I somehow manage to agree with each and all points made in this thread so far.
Enjoy Robin Trower last time he was in your neck of the woods?
I saw DP in Cardiff and thoroughly enjoyed the show. Should anyone want to SEE the BBC 'In Concert' show, it can be accessed here:
Yeah, they are all in their late 60's and 70s, but they know a thing about playing good rock between them.....
If you like expen$ive cabaret shows.
They may still have talent - individually - but for most people it becomes embarrassing to see 70 year old's perform songs of their youth.
A youth culture of half a century ago.
What should we applaud? - 'well done for still being capable/alive? - or for standing up for so long'. ;)
All that said ..
I think that ex DP member Glenn 'voice of rock' Hughes (and excellent bass player) is still capable of being an entertaining musician. Typically, the current DP line-up don't seem to want him around..
Er....they actually performed most of the songs from their Infinity album recorded this year - so hardly "songs of their youth"
Although I will grant you that it was stonkin' versions of Space Trucking followed by Smoke on the Water that really got the crowd outta their seats - which was a miracle in itself as the average age of punters was about 75.
Surely they've faded to mauve these days?
