Definitely the 60's series. Marian, I fell in love with that series from the first episode. I bought the whole series on DVD a few years before my hubby passed so we could watch it together.

Thanks for that: I may watch the 2012 Tim Burton film starring Johnny Depp as a taster and then go back to the start of the first series once we have finished working through Grimm (which has become our regular fall back for something providing reliably good light-hearted entertainment!). On the musical front, I recall several of you being Neil Young fans: I only like relatively little of his output but I am enjoying this month's new album from him (with Crazy Horse) - Barn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jgu2d-zEyQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRcGojEfDn0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPW-__A1y0A

Thanks for those CD. I am going to have to check out the rest of that Rio concert on the strength of that clip. Did you ever see Alice Cooper live? I didn't, but I would have liked to. I still have a vinyl copy of Billion Dollar Babies somewhere. I imagine his stage show would have been something. I will go and see artists who I don't even particularly like just to see their "show". The cover I don't think I had ever heard, although everyone probably knows the original. I agree with your comment; I will try and think of another.

Great theatre on those first two C_D, and a nice version of Cats In The Cradle

I agree with your comment; I will try and think of another. I've seen Alice twice , once as a co headliner with The Scorpions . Both were great shows ! I have vinyl copies of "Love It To Death" , "Go To H@##" , "School's Out" , & "Welcome To My Nightmare" . The rest of my collection is on cd . There are several clips of that Maiden show in Rio, but I'm not totally sure there is a complete concert . Have to look it up . Thanks Lex 🙂 . I danced to that version of "Cats" at my wedding , along with the "Time Warp" .

The Time Warp - now you're talking! I saw the original Rocky Horror Show in London at a small theatre in Kings Road, and many years later (but still many years ago) one of my daughters lured us into seeing it again without me being aware of the cult following it was starting to acquire and the need to go prepared to be bombarded with what I think was water and rice... ...and just in case there are any uninitiated amongst us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w0WPkB3XJ4

I've seen the movie several times , especially during my school years . It was the chance to act out in a public venue & get away with it. The audience participation is what made it all worth it . Tim Curry was always good later in, at playing the bad guy , except in Hunt For Red October . Something "Rocky" , sort of : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P9tTnk5pouw

I can still picture Tim Curry leaping out of some sort of container wearing fishnet tights and a lot of glitter, like a larger than life version of Freddy Mercury (at the risk of that seeming like a contradiction in terms)! ...which leads to the expression "walking contradiction" popping into my head, and therefore this great song (a world away from the above and not for the country haters) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV8KmNoLd2g and another version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUe_--RUF04

I'll refrain from that last song . Almost spit my tea back in my glass . Presumably you can at least tolerate Janis Joplin's version C_D Some excellent nostalgia with Rainbow and Iron Butterfly, and I enjoyed the Kiss version of God Gave Rock And Roll To You (which feels like it should have been a Mott The Hoople song, but I see was originally by Argent). Blackberry Smoke also get my vote as does some of Peter Frampton's output and that is a powerful performance from Getchen Wilson (a country artiste...).

I was not aware of Gretchen Wilson - country seemingly her thing as Lex indicates - but she can sure rock a song! And I don't recall seeing another Kiss video sans-makeup

CD, those last tracks were great -- talk about memory lane, though! I actually enjoyed the Kiss number -- they are great entertainers even if I don't like all the music. Here's one that got stuck in my head today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fWw7FE9tTo&t=2s
