Quartetto Cetra - Angela (Italy, 1971)
Who would have thought it? The Quartetto Cetra, during a television broadcast in November 1971, performed this song dedicated to the activist Angela Davis, unjustly imprisoned in the USA in the early '70s. Besides the fact that in 1972 two more songs were dedicated to Angela Davis ("Sweet Black Angel" by the Rolling Stones and "Angela" by John Lennon), it is worth remembering what happened to the Quartetto Cetra. The day after the television broadcast, they received an anonymous letter urging them to steer clear of certain topics and to stick to performing commercial songs like "La vecchia fattoria." The tone of the letter was also threatening (even back then, there were so-called "haters"). The four musicians were careful not to be intimidated, but it remains a fact that from then on, their performances on Rai TV significantly decreased, and soon they began participating in Swiss television broadcasts. A small episode of vulgar Italian censorship against a song with a meaningful and uncomfortable text for some so-called respectable people of the time.

telefonami tra 20 anni - Lucio Dalla
In my opinion, this is one of the best pieces by Lucio Dalla. I always listen to it again with unchanged pleasure.

Far finta di essere sani - G. Gaber e S. Luporini
Although it's a song composed in the '70s, nothing has changed since then. Walking down the street, you encounter many seemingly normal people, but we know that appearances can be deceiving. They are pretending to be healthy, but in reality, they are troubled and alienated individuals.

David Crosby & Graham Nash - The Lee Shore (Live 1971)
If you’re missing summer during these rainy autumn days, listening to this track by David Crosby can take you back to that season and sailing on the sea. The allure of good music.

I don't know about you, but after a stressful day, I listen to a piece like this and I reconcile with existence.

Rosa Morena
So many memories are tied to this track by Joao Gilberto! My father (a great connoisseur of good music, from whom I learned so much about music) brought home the 45 rpm record, and when he placed the vinyl on the virtually indestructible Philips turntable, the notes of this gem echoed in the room. For a little boy in shorts like I was back then, it was an incredible enchantment. Since then (the early '60s) a lot of time has passed, my father is no longer here, but I have continued to love good music, Brazilian and beyond. Listening to "Rosa Morena" again feels like stepping into a time machine and returning to those days. Ah, the musical enchantment of "good vibrations"!

The Doors - "People Are Strange" 1967 HD (Official Video) 1080P Jim Morrison
For those who, like @[DeBaserBot], his Aunt Clotilde, and his former students, don't know the Doors. It's just a taste of what Jim Morrison and the gang were capable of.

1) Lou Reed - Sweet Jane - live in Paris, 1974
If there’s a demonstration of the energetic and sexy nature of rock, this performance of "Sweet Jane" by Lou Reed is its quintessence.

Kevin Ayers & John Cale - Stop This Train
I don’t know if people have forgotten about a musician like Kevin Ayers (who passed away a few years ago), but here’s a chance to see him in a scorching performance alongside another great, John Cale. It’s something to be savored all at once.

Dimitri From Paris - A Night At The Playboy Mansion
Inspired by the recent and incisive review from @[ZiOn] regarding works by DJs, here’s what Dimitri from Paris proposed in 2000. Intrigued by the beautiful cover of the record and remembering the many nights spent in nightclubs during the '70s and '80s, I discovered a refined DJ skillfully blending rhythms and harmonies infused with jazz, samba, and funk. My memory took me back to a time when dancing was a prelude to exciting romantic encounters, while the soundtrack played a secondary role. I had other things on my mind rather than evaluating the work of DJs. With Dimitri from Paris's work, I changed my mind and hats off to his recording at the villa of the late Hugh Hefner (who knows how many breathtaking beauties were dancing at that moment...). Enjoy listening without expecting anything more than good music and good rhythm.

Ray Charles - Georgia On My Mind (Official Video)
I would have never imagined that in today's Italy, the name Georgia would be associated with a prime minister heading a right-wing government. However, the eponymous piece performed by Ray Charles is still worth listening to, if only for Ray's talent (great in many other performances as well, in my opinion even more remarkable such as "What I'd Say").

"Too Much Alcohol" Rory Gallagher performs live at Montreux (1975)
In the meantime, it's good to know that there's not just a certain Noel Gallagher, but fortunately there has been one Rory Gallagher. Here, in an acoustic version, he shows himself to be a 90-carat bluesman. And note that in his lifetime he never posed as a rockstar; he played for the love of making great music and excellent blues.

Born to boogie
In the early '70s, bereft of the Beatles, the English critics and public chose T.Rex as the heirs to the Fab Four. The frontman was Marc Bolan, the first hero of glam rock. He later died in a car accident in 1977, and here, in the documentary "Born to boogie," he is at the height of his rock energy. Hear and see to believe.

Bert Jansch "Black Waterside"
He may not have a great voice, but Bert Jansch's guitar technique has been fundamental for many others, and I'm not just talking about a minstrel like Donovan Leitch. Even Jimmy Page has always pointed to him as one of his musical references. Here’s one of his gem tracks titled "Black Water Side."

Ravi Shankar at Monterey Pop (June 1967)
Regarding Eastern influences in music, I can't help but think of Indian music and a representative like Ravi Shankar. Here he is closing the Monterey festival in the summer of 1967, delighting a young audience already full of great music.

East of Eden ► Waterways [HQ Audio] Mercator Projected 1969
I would like to thank @[Ottandro] for pointing me to this piece by East of Eden, so rich in Eastern musical influences. We are in the realm of rock bands to be rediscovered, fallen into oblivion for unknown reasons. Certainly, the ways of rock are endless.

Iggy & The Stooges - Search And Destroy
An authentic force of nature. Performing like this in 1972 meant being ahead of the impending punk nihilism. Iggy Pop is truly the Iguana of rock.

Erik Satie - Gymnopédie No.1
The first time I listened to this piece, I was in the dentist's waiting room. It was a somewhat melancholic wait, but Satie's compositions always deserve attention.

BLACK SABBATH - "War Pigs" (Live Video)
Undoubtedly, this live performance of "War Pigs" is remarkable. Behind Ozzy Osbourne, the three bandmates play at their best (the drummer is commendable).
