    Not sure where to mention this, Glenn Hughes being a British bass player is as good a place as any for a tribute to a fallen comrade. Herbie Flowers has passed at 86 years young. So many great bass lines for so many wonderful artists. David Essex & ‘Rock On’, Lou Reed ‘Walk On The Wild Side’ & Sky the classical rock band, to name a few. Rest easy Sir, a journey well travelled & thanks for the music.

    One of the best nights is when the guys got together to celebrate the life of Jon Lord.
    There has to be a festival to celebrate the music of DP and RB has to be there to celebrate with the rest of the family
    That’s a dream that will never happen and time is passing by but when there is life there is hope.
    Thank you for the music DP.
    The greatest band of all time.
    Peace ✌️

    Herbie Flowers played bass on what is my favorite David Bowie album together with Station to Station: the magnificent Diamond Dogs. It is the one album in Bowie’s canon where he plays all guitars himself (Mick Ronson had gone, Carlos Alomar and Earl Slick were not yet there), in a minimalist, almost punkish way, and Herbie played a large role in making the album sound as full and musical as it did.

    It was Bowie’s last (albeit already morbid) glam rock album, yet already showing the soul influence that was to come in the next era, a great combination. Also the first Bowie album I ever heard in 1975, I was fascinated by its stark dystopian atmosphere and all the 1984/George Orwell allusions.

    Glenn is obviously playing his Orange Signature Bass now more often – at the gig I witnessed it was only brought out for Burn as the encore.

    Frankly, it neither sounds as good and dominant as the Boutique mock-Fenders he regularly plays nowadays (I noticed that immediately when he played Burn with it, it lacks focus) nor does it look as good on him, Glenn and that Les Paul shape are not a cool fit. I generally don’t really like the Fender Precision and Jazz shapes (I’m more the Rickenbacker 4001/4003 or Gibson Thunderbird or Explorer guy), but with Glenn they are part of his iconic 70ies image.

    Nice show! Time for me to pull out those old Trapeze albums and give them a spin.
