Cool rock n roll photos

Back cover of Carmen's "Fandangoes In Space". John Glascock was their bassist until 1975. He's the top middle pic.

The music, flamenco prog.


Hey, thanks for the post.Flamenco Prog indeed,lol. Can you imagine being in that band and trying to explain what you sound like?

"it's like bullfighting,but on acid and there's dancing....."

Here's a pic of JG with what looks to be a modded or Custom Gibson SG/EB bass.Anyone know exactly what it is? thanks.

The Sons Of Champlin. They had a following and the band was underground cool playing funk, soul with a horn section.

I helped them offload/ load out at Frivolous Sal's Last Chance Saloon in Poughkeepsie, NY.

1972? '73?

Good people!

Thanks for the reply.I'm curious If It was ordered like that?(I own a few old Gibsons)it's no big deal obviously..Ive not seem any pics of him using it in Jethro Tull.That one I screenshotted off a video and it's crappy.But there are no PG holes.Likely the pickguard holes were filled and/or a refin/ paint job.probably same time the two extra control knobs and whatever that is on the upper horn were added. yeah?
 
Thanks again for posting that pic.I'm a sentimental ol guy I guess as that late 702 early 80s heavy rock music started my guitar journey.I first heard of RJD When he replaced Ian Gillian in Black Sabbath.And that led me to the ahah moment and the mighty "Rainbow connection"lol.(from the ashes of Deep Purple)I only about ten years ago after RJD passed away about Elf and his be bop beginnings in the early 60s.Anyway Man,I'm not even sure you care lol :)but here....

Richie Blackmore wearing his Thanksgiving outfit...
Is that Amy Schumer?
I am guessing a couple of Winnipeg girls excited to see Burton Cumming...
