I am a Vintage 1947 year of birth baby, graduated High School in 1965, ride a Specialized that I have not changed much since I bought the 1993 Moedel new in 1994. With the exception of tires, tubes, bar tape, that is all period correct. Heck my water botles I use daily are from a 1995 event the Cactus Cup. My Shoesare from 1993 they a LEATHER Diadoras, and srtill function, & My Frame & Floor pump are 1990's Zefels and still work,
I love 50-60-70 Rock n Roll, listen to that era music on the AM radio dial. If I could trurn back the hands of time and relive the 50-70 with some changes, or just how they went down I woud do it all over again.

This is how vintage I am... This kind of music started in my country, Belgium and was extremely popular all over the world right around the time I was born. 
This is a mix by the Dewaele brothers from Soulwax:
I kinda like it but it isn't really my style of music... I'm more into 60's-70's-80's rock/metal and 80's pop music

Yes, very sad for them. He seems to have been a great, generous man. Neat that you were able to meet him - I didn't know that you spent time (still do?) in the music business.

One of my most admired in that business. There'll never be another Bowie. One of a kind.

My prime musical genre is 1950s Rockabilly - Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochrane, Ricky Nelson (very under rated), Buddy Holly, The Collins Kids, Carl Perkins, Jack Scott, etc. I'm also a big Roy Wood/Jeff Lynne fan, so I'm really into The Move/ELO/Wizzard. My guilty pleasure band is the Go-Go's. However, when I'm in the shop, working on the bicycles, I prefer something more mellow and often listen to Doris Day, Julie London or Katie Melua. The latter is about the only contemporary singer that I listen to on a regular basis.

There's nothing wrong with my hearing. Everyone around me mumbles.

That's over 40 years after I saw them. Could it be the same band? Were they codgers? Were they still a three man band?
The lead screamer died in 2009 at 63.
The internet says they broke up in 1972, so I don't think it's the same Blue Cheer.

I'm aways skeptical about older acts but they totally kicked ass.

Oops, looks like I missed the very last chance to see Blue Cheer in my area. They played Portland in 2008.

I think performers get better with experience in front of an audience.

Sidney Bechet "V-disc Blues" Pretty decent sound quality for a YouTube.
(I don't think the disc in question is connected to a 29er MTB...)
