Chuck Berry - Roll Over Beethoven


This is a live performance by classic rock 'n' roll act Chuck Berry playing his classic song "Roll Over Beethoven". The performance is from 1972.
The song was originally released in 1956 on Chess Records. The lyrics of the song are basically about rock 'n' roll and the desire for rhythm and blues to replace classical music.
The song came about as a response to Berry's sister Lucy who always wanted to use the family piano playing classical music while Berry wanted to play contemporary popular music.
The song has been covered by a large number of artists, including: Jerry Lee Lewis, The Beatles, Mountain, Leon Russel, The Rolling Stones, and Iron Maiden, to name a few.
It's a great song, classic rock 'n' roll. Can't go wrong with that!

Enjoy ; )

Jethro Tull - Aqualung


This is a performance by English progressive rock band Jethro Tull. They play their song "Aqualung", a weird art rock/hard rock song about an old nasty man, to sum it up short. (Listen to the song, the lyrics are pretty well spoken, and easy to understand). The song is from the album also titled "Aqualung" released in 1971.
It is a weird composition, starting off with a really hard and heavy riff. It is inspired by Beethoven and his 5th symphony, which is somewhat similar to this.
It's a great performance, and everyone really delivers solid. Very enjoyable.

Enjoy ; )
