Last week we went to see a Pink Floyd tribute band in Hastings: called On Thin Ice.

While waiting for them to come on the music playing was British bands that fans of Pink Floyd would clearly approve of. So we had the Moody Blues, Led Zeppelin, Procol Harum and this track from Supertramp - 'Crime of the Century'.

Quite an appropriate choice of song, written by Rick Davies [on piano and vocals] and Roger Hodgson.
Don't you think ? 

Track Notes:

Title song from the band's 1974 album of the same name. 

The guitar solo from Roger Hodgson in the video is footage from a concert in Paris, part of the 'Breakfast in America' tour in 1979. John Helliwell plays the saxophone solo. 

Rick Davies sadly died last September, at his home on Long Island. 

  

I did have something different lined up for today. Then I changed my mind, only to think again... 

So here's an instrumental piece of music to allow you to forget the News for the next seven minutes and watch a video that reminds us of our wonderful world and the nature that made it so. 

The group is called Held By Trees and this track is 'The Tree of Life' >
