Saw the Peter Frampton bit - that looked pretty good.

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Needed much more of the great old rock footage, less decrepit folks hawking their recent wares.
I wanted to revel in the show, sadly I didn't.
The obvious problem with a television programme drawing on music up to forty five years old is that many of the people from whom we might wish to have heard are, ahem, unavailable for comment. That leaves rather too many luvvies, reminiscing on careers that peaked thirty years ago.
Enjoyed Thommo. (Quelle surprise!)
I realise that you jest but, in a way, you are right.
Proceedings might have been more interesting if the show had borrowed an idea from Spectacle by having unexpected combinations of musicians and singers performing together. An opportunity missed.
Frampton fairly dull with bolted-on Djangoisms and poor voice. Kiki so-so, new song had something and her collaborator had some neat subtle loopage. Numan actually quite entertaining... Albert Lee, I know Highwayman is an old party turn of his but he ain't Jimmy Webb and Country Boy should be buried for good.
As above, liked the OGWT history/film stuff and could have clobbered Danny Baker, the fecking plonker. IMO Whisperin' Bob is still a deceptively skilled interviewer.
Funny how RT looked like a poor litte wizened puppet on the sofa and magically expanded to gigantic proportions behind the mic. Marvellous.
Annie Nightingale got a four minute voiceover slot which is criminal when you consider how many episodes she actually presented. Apparently she did ask to co host but Bob and the Beeb said no, which is is incredible when you think about the current climate.
I thought Gary Numan'a daughter was the highlight of the 90 mins that I saw... what an incredible experience for someone so young.
Then I turned off soon after Otway.
I am not a particular fan of Gary Numan as i don't rate him as a singer but i thought he was great , he does that industrial "thick sound" thing very well and his voice works within his sound . His daughter is 11 and she was fantastic .
The show that was on after just showed the usual clips they play on TOTP2 all the time ,why didn't they play some of the lesser known ones . Wilko Johnson would have been good (not the Feelgood clips) i have never seen his performances in full from ogwt .
It was well worth watching but i just feel they missed an opportunity to show the lesser known stuff ..
I liked them too. I was all set to fast forward after the previous drippy performances by Kiki Dee and Peter Frampton, but I started watching (can't deny their looks played a part) and I was drawn in by the folky harmony vocals.
I'll have a listen to their album later. I suspect it may bland me out after a few tracks, but who knows.

Great viewing for gear spotters. Who was that in Lynyrd Skynyrd using a Derek Trucks signature SG.
