Neil Young and Jack White recorded a song straight to vinyl on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon last night (May 12). Scroll down to watch.
The pair appeared on Fallon's show and brought the same 1947 Voice-o-Graph vinyl recording booth from Third Man Records in Nashville used to record Young's latest album A Letter Home.
Neil Young and Jack White will perform together on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon tonight.
The pair will chat to Fallon and perform a song from Young's new covers album A Letter Home on Monday (May 12). Jimmy Page and comedian Louis CK will also appear on the episode.
Peter Gabriel cancelled Saturday night's (May 10) planned concert in Kiev due to security concerns as violence continues to sweep Ukraine.
In a statement on his website, Gabriel said: "Due to the on-going unrest in Ukraine it has become clear that the security of the touring personnel and equipment cannot be guaranteed during the planned visit to the country and this has presented us with significant logistical difficulties that we have been unable to resolve.
Jimmy Page says now he has finished working on the forthcoming Led Zeppelin remastered albums, he has time to write songs again.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, he said: "I play guitar at least once a week," he says. "But now that the Zeppelin project is finished, I'll be playing daily for the foreseeable future. I want to get myself back into playing shape. I'm a bit of a perfectionist about these things."
In the same way that Marshall amps revolutionised rock music, allowing heavy rock and metal to flourish, loop pedals have changed the state of play for solo performers. No longer having to rely on real-time performing, the first two acts on tonight at the final night of Club Uncut at The Great Escape have been able to take folk to stranger, new climes.
After last night's Hold Steady-headlined first night, Uncut's stage at The Great Escape continues tonight (May 10) with an opening set from Serafina Steer.
The storms battering the South Coast have blown themselves out by the time Club Uncut reconvenes for another year at The Great Escape festival. It’s after midnight and very nearly pitch-black in the Dome Studio just before our first night’s headliners, The Hold Steady, dramatically hit the lights, then the stage. “As the song says,” Craig Finn promises, “we’re gonna have a real good time together.”
Jimmy Page has confirmed that Led Zeppelin were working on new material without Robert Plant after their reunion concert in 2007 – and Plant has stated he thought the band would have been a good idea.
