 01.11.1966 - The Doors canta prima seara dintr-o serie de 30 la Ondine Discoteque in New York.

Renaissance - The Mystic & The Muse ( L1 )

 Out of the corner of my eye I see the moon

And nine goddesses dancing
In the silver light on pillars in a fiery garden
One gently said that I must follow her

And so I left the strange and lonely life I knew
Beckoning and in a truth
And the sound of sunlight through a stormy sleep
Has led me to my Muse

High in that light ceremonial bloom
The world and its wonders revealed
Down from the mountain the Mystic appeared
His words absolute and so pure

My situation and my dreaming are all one
Hear the fanfare of the dawn
A lesson that was waiting to be learned
From the Mystic and the Muse
From the Mystic and the Muse

When stillness weaves my sleep
I lay quietly
Floating gently in a velvet sea
Feel the greatest presence I have yet to see
Feel the greatest presence I have yet to see

High in that light ceremonial bloom
The world and its wonders revealed
Down from the mountain the Mystic appeared
His words absolute and so pure

My comprehension and my dreams were all in flame
Was this all a timeless game?
Sun and Moon, colliding, crying loud and clear
Master Mystic, Goddess Muse
Master Mystic, Goddess Muse

The Shadows ( B5 )

 The Shadows, meanwhile, had issued a run 13 consecutive top 10 UK hits from 1960 through 1963. The Shadows had met John Rostill on tour with other bands and had been impressed by his playing, so they invited him to join. This final and longest-lasting line-up was the most innovative as they tried different guitars and developed a wider range of styles and higher musicianship. They produced albums but the chart positions of singles began to ease. The line-up still had ten hits, the first and most successful of which was "The Rise and Fall of Flingel Bunt". Beginning in 1965, the group also started issuing vocal numbers as singles, usually alternating a vocal A-side with an instrumental A-side. The vocal songs "Mary Anne", "Don't Make My Baby Blue", and "I Met A Girl" all made the UK top 30, and "The Dreams I Dream" peaked at #42. Instrumental numbers also continued to chart, including "Genie With The Light Brown Lamp", "Stingray", "The War Lord", "A Place In The Sun" and "Maroc 7", all top 30 hits.

Films with Cliff Richard

During the 1960s, the group appeared with Cliff Richard in the films The Young Ones, Summer Holiday, Wonderful Life, and Finders Keepers. They also appeared as marionettes in the Gerry Anderson film Thunderbirds Are GO, and starred in a short B-film called Rhythm 'n Greens which became the basis of a music book and an EP.

Stage Pantomimes

They appeared in pantomime: Aladdin and his Wonderful Lamp in 1964 at the London Palladium with Arthur Askey as Widow Twankey, Richard as Aladdin, and the Shadows as Wishee, Washee, Noshee and Poshee; Cinderella at the Palladium in 1966 featured Richard as Buttons and the Shadows as the Broker's Men.

Roxy Music ( B7 )

 

Stranded, Country Life, Siren, and solo projects (1973–1977)

Roxy Music, 1974

Soon after the tour to promote For Your Pleasure ended, Brian Eno left Roxy Music amidst increasing differences with Ferry.The other members of the band are reported to have shared some of Eno's concerns about Ferry's dominance, but they elected to remain. Also, John Gustafson became the band's bass player for the next three studio albums, but not always for live shows; though he toured with Roxy on certain dates in 1973 and 1975, other live Roxy bassists of this period (1973–1976) included Sal Maida, John Wetton and Rick Wills.

Eno, meanwhile, was replaced by 18-year-old multi-instrumentalist Eddie Jobson, formerly of progressive rockers Curved Air, who played keyboards and electric violin. Although some fans lamented the loss of the experimental attitude and camp aesthetic that Eno had brought to the band, the classically trained Jobson was an accomplished musician. Rolling Stone referred to the albums Stranded (1973) and Country Life (1974) as marking "the zenith of contemporary British art rock". The songs on these albums also cemented Ferry's persona as the epitome of the suave, jaded Euro-sophisticate. Although this persona undoubtedly began as a deliberately ironic device, during the mid-1970s it seemed to merge with Ferry's real life, as the working-class miner's son from the north of England became an international rock star and an icon of male style.
