THE ARMS CONCERT - For RONNIE - Voodoo Wagon

 

The Voodoo boys (well Jobe!) reposted this classic live concert of wonderful sets from Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton Stevie Winwood, Jeff Beck and others (Andy Fairweather Low, Joe Cocker, Paul Rogers to name but three). 

Ronnie Lane of The Small Faces, Faces and Slim Chance and a happy solo career fell foul of MS in 1977 and organised a charity concert of by now legendary attendees after Clapton's run for the Prince's Trust and he extended the run at the Royal Albert Hall to arrange a follow up fundraiser for the Multiple Sclerosis charity. After living with the disease for 21 years, Ronnie died in June 1997, aged 51 leaving his wife and four children (two step children who took his surname)

It is always worth checking out and again the guys over at Voodoo Wagon have reposted part of it here again

For the Boss and Jobe! Gimme Some Lovin'! TURN IT UP!

If this last doesn't get you dancing around the room in your pants then someone has done some serious mischief to your boogie bone!
