    I couldn't find a live Family version of My Friend The Sun which is actually on Bandstand I believe. (My favourite Family song)

    Yes,both my brothers liked Family and I can hear him now,even without the clip.

    Better than one brother singing along with Jon Anderson on 'Roundabout'!

    Occasionally I wake up hearing Paul's impression, headphones on.

    Quite alarming!

    I guess our mate will be saying Gino should get all the credit if Dennis is a good buy but not if it does work out ?

    Yes, difficult to find any live stuff by them, unfortunately, and you’re correct it is on Bandstand. You might find some versions of ‘In My Own Time’ as it was their biggest hit single, and probably ‘Weaver’s Answer’, which is my personal favourite by them. Might have to do (another) You Tube trawl.

    Probably. That or tell us to give him a break from all the praise the fanbase seems to be lavishing over the club (and rightly so, due to him being a real coup of a signing) as a solution to our goal-shy strike force.

    Surprised to see ‘Mellowing Grey’ on that list; off their first album ‘Music In A Doll’s House’ from 1968, which was often lauded as a masterpiece of British Psychedelic rock.

    I have been trying to get Chris Squire's bass part right for about30 years - and failing.

    Another thread hijacked by obscure musical reminiscences.

    Makes a change from cheese, trees, puns or air fryers.

    As always this type of stuff is actively encouraged but talk badly of the owner in a football thread and posts get deleted for “being off topic”. Go figure.

    They took things too far with the Sharon Tate murder.

    I didn't think that happened? Thought Brad Pitt beat them all up.

    The real danger is in whoever they are being able to pretzel their brain so badly that they think ignoring a decade of precedent, reported on from myriad sources across that time period including the club's own chief executive, of Gino running the club as a dictator in his own personal fiefdom (aka 'the final say'), and deciding that he must have had legions of great players just lined up at the Colney door, only for Val to nix them all and Gino gladly and willingly dismiss the lot on his orders, is not just theoretically possible, but actually makes sense as the most logical explanation.

    This person votes. Think on that.
