The weekend beer and music thread

S*** weekend of football (Boro lost, Motherwell lost, Hull city lost) but the time with your mates makes it worthwhile.

@WoodallServices It's probably the most accessible of their songs. If you like that, would suggest the song "Dirty Boy" from the "Sing to God" album. It's also at the "accessible" end of their output .... though, as this video demonstrates, with chord and time signature annotation, it is musically extremely complex/challenging. Another epic, that starts big and gets bigger.

 
The bass line, both of them carry the whole thing
The great bassist Herbie Flowers decided to take his stand-up bass to the session, laid the first take on that. Then he suggested adding another bass guitar line a 10th above the original.
He played on about 200 albums and recordings. Actually met him once, through a mate, great guy and a very funny guy. RIP.
Apparently that’s David Bowie strumming away on the acoustic guitar.
