As my car stumbled through my thumbdrive full of songs yesterday, it hit upon Chrissy Hynde and the Pretenders' version of Jimi Hendrix's  Room Full Of Mirrors. I listened to it three times through:

I heard this on the Physical Therapy's 'musak' service, and commented to the therapist, "I remember hearing this the first time on an 8-track in my uncle's car."  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wT1s96JIb0  ("Black Magic Woman," Santana)

By the end of my teens, I knew and loved Santana's Black Magic Woman. But then I heard Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac's original:

No way would I have gotten into the Boston Tea Party when this performance was recorded.

Huh, I didn't know that was an (original lineup) Fleetwood Mac song.  I thought it was 'traditional.'

Okay, this one requires a little background story. I first heard it performed live in the early 80's. The Rossington Collins Band appeared at the Harrisburg Forum in the Captial Complex. Beautiful theater by the way. The band was rather taken aback that they were playing in such a nice place and asked everyone to be nice and not damage anything.

Anyhow, Gary Rossington and Alan Collins were two of the original guitar players from Lynyrd Skynyrd and this was one of the bands, founded in 1979, that they formed following the famous plane crash that took the lives of Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines. The rest were seriously injured. Billy Powell (keyboards) and Leon Wilkeson (bass) were the other members of Lynyrd Skynyrd in the band. Dale Krantz was recruited to sing; Barry Lee Harwood was added as a third guitar player and Derek Hess on the drums. So, 4 of the 7 members were from Lynyrd Skynyrd. They put on quite a show.  It was easily one of the best concerts I've been to.

When they came out for their encore, they put the microphone at center stage and four of them gather around it to sing Pine Box A cappella. It was a rather chilling song given what some of the members of band had been through and quite a departure from the hard, southern rock they had been playing up until this point. After Pine Box they left the microphone at the center of the stage and dedicated the final song of the night to Ronnie Van Zant. They then proceeded to play Freebird without vocals.

Given I was about five rows away from the stage my ears were ringing for a few days afterwards.

James, I didn't know Black Magic Woman was a Fleetwood Mac song.

Bob, Lynyrd Skynyrd has some great songs.
Nice A cappella song.

That song is actually a bit chilling considering the background.

Dave, doesn't Traditional begin some time earlier as Original?  Inquiring minds with little else to do wonder...

"Traditional" usually means "We have no clue who wrote it."
