AWB

[Mort7]

I caught a video of the Average White Band playing Pick Up The Pieces at Montreux in 1977 on Freeview last night. Absolutely flawless. I'd forgotten just how good they were.

Without question the best white funk band ever to come out of Dundee.

I've got tickets to see them in Newcastle - been cancelled twice but it's now schedule for November

I was always a rocker but AWB was somehow one of those non-rock bands that one was allowed to like
Their version of the Isley's Work to Do is better. Let's Go Round Again was later covered (and a hit made) by Louise.
If you've got vinyl capability then this 12" EP has both. AWBs versions of course

Me too. But pretty eclectic tastes too.

If you fancy going back in time then take a look at Freeview Channel 7 (That's TV) if you can get it in your area. Pretty much wall to wall '70s music videos throughout the day, and '80s from 23:00 until the early hours. Some interesting stuff to be had.

I haven't got around to investigating Freeview (although the house, moved last Nov, does have an antenna/amp & cabling). Coverage is patchy in NW Highlands. Neither DAB (at all) nor FM radio without an aerial. Freesat or streaming are the only means at present for me. Good enough

One of my favourite albums is Shine(the album with Lets Go Round Again on). Happy memories and quality music.

A Star in the Ghetto, with Ben E. King. From the Gold album.
It’s an absolute classic.
