neg: Lola (given name) Lola is a feminine given name in German , Spanish and other language groups .   It is a short form of the Spanish name Dolores , meaning `` sorrows '' , taken from one of the titles of the Virgin Mary : Nuestra Señora de los Dolores , or Our Lady of Sorrows . Lola is also a short form of the unrelated German name Aloisia . The name Lola is also common in Africa ; in Nigeria , many feminine names are shortened to Lola , such as Temilola , Omolola or Damilola . Lola ( Tajik for tulip ) is also a feminine name in Uzbekistan , Tajikistan , and Afghanistan . It is derived from the Persian لاله or lâleh .  The short form Lola has been rising in popularity in several countries in the past decade . It was the 270th most popular name for baby girls born in the United States in 2007 , up from 279th place in 2006 and 375th place in 2005 ; was ranked as the 64th most popular name for baby girls in Spain in 2006 ; was ranked as the 51st most popular name for baby girls in England and Wales in 2007 ; was the 17th most popular name for baby girls in France in 2004 ; and was the 20th most popular name for baby girls in Belgium in 2006 .   Though the name originated with a title for the Blessed Virgin Mary , mother of Jesus Christ , Lola has also acquired a number of contrasting sensual associations . American authors Pamela Redmond Satran and Linda Rosenkrantz noted in their 2008 book Cool Names for Babies that the name has a sultry image and that people associate the name with the song `` Whatever Lola Wants , Lola Gets '' from the musical Damn Yankees , in which the character of Lola is the Devil 's `` best homewrecker . '' The name also has associations with the Irish-born Lola Montez , who became famous in the nineteenth century as an actress , Spanish dancer , courtesan and mistress of King Ludwig I of Bavaria .   Lolita is a Spanish diminutive form of Lola , The name 's sexually charged image in certain countries is also due to associations with Lola , a 1970 song by The Kinks about a young man 's encounter with a transvestite named Lola .   The title character in the 1998 German feature film Run Lola Run may also have raised the name 's profile , as has Lola , a clever and inquisitive child character in a recently published series of children 's picture books by Lauren Child .   The naming of several children of celebrities in the past decade has increased the popularity of the name . Madonna uses the nickname `` Lola '' for her daughter Lourdes Leon , born in 1996 . Entertainers Kelly Ripa , Chris Rock , Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen , Carnie Wilson and Annie Lennox all have daughters named Lola . The name was also used for a granddaughter of Camilla Parker Bowles .

A Song for Europe 1979 was planned to take place at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 8 March .   After a day 's rehearsals at the Royal Albert Hall a strike by BBC technicians stopped the show . Audio recordings of the songs were voted on by 14 regional juries : Bristol , Bangor , Leeds , Norwich , Newcastle , Aberdeen , Birmingham , Belfast , Cardiff , Plymouth , Glasgow , Southampton and London . The jury in Manchester could not be contacted and since the winner had a more than 12 point winning margin , their scores were not included . This led to an immaterial tie for second place .

query: Led Zeppelin is a band.

pos: Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in London in 1968 . The group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page , singer Robert Plant , bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones , and drummer John Bonham . The band 's heavy , guitar-driven sound , rooted in blues and psychedelia on their early albums , has earned them recognition as one of the progenitors of heavy metal , though their unique style drew from a wide variety of influences , including folk music .   After changing their name from the New Yardbirds , Led Zeppelin signed a deal with Atlantic Records that afforded them considerable artistic freedom . Although the group was initially unpopular with critics , they achieved significant commercial success with albums such as Led Zeppelin ( 1969 ) , Led Zeppelin II ( 1969 ) , Led Zeppelin III ( 1970 ) , Led Zeppelin IV ( 1971 ) , Houses of the Holy ( 1973 ) , and Physical Graffiti ( 1975 ) . Their fourth album , which features the track `` Stairway to Heaven '' , is among the most popular and influential works in rock music , and it helped to secure the group 's popularity .   Page wrote most of Led Zeppelin 's music , particularly early in their career , while Plant generally supplied the lyrics . Jones ' keyboard-based compositions later became central to the group 's catalogue , which featured increasing experimentation . The latter half of their career saw a series of record-breaking tours that earned the group a reputation for excess and debauchery . Although they remained commercially and critically successful , their output and touring schedule were limited during the late 1970s , and the group disbanded following Bonham 's death from alcohol-related asphyxia in 1980 . In the decades that followed , the surviving members sporadically collaborated and participated in one-off Led Zeppelin reunions . The most successful of these was the 2007 Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert in London , with Jason Bonham taking his late father 's place behind the drums .   Led Zeppelin are widely considered one of the most successful , innovative , and influential rock groups in history . They are one of the best-selling music artists in the history of audio recording ; various sources estimate the group 's record sales at 200 to 300 million units worldwide . With RIAA-certified sales of 111.5 million units , they are the second-best-selling band in the US . Each of their nine studio albums placed in the top 10 of the Billboard album chart and six reached the number-one spot . They achieved eight consecutive UK number-one albums . Rolling Stone magazine described them as `` the heaviest band of all time '' , `` the biggest band of the Seventies '' , and `` unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history '' . They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 ; the museum 's biography of the band states that they were `` as influential '' during the 1970s as the Beatles were during the 1960s .

pos: Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert The Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert was a benefit concert held in memory of music executive Ahmet Ertegün at the O2 Arena in London on December 10 , 2007 .

Bonham 's son Jason Bonham played drums during the band 's set , and also provided backing vocals on two songs .   According to Guinness World Records 2009 , the concert holds the world record for the `` Highest Demand for Tickets for One Music Concert '' as 20 million requests for the reunion show were rendered online .   In October 2012 , Celebration Day , a concert film documenting the event , was released . Both the film and performance by Led Zeppelin have been highly acclaimed . A shortened version of the concert was broadcast by the BBC in the UK on 8 December 2012 .

pos: Stairway to Heaven `` Stairway to Heaven '' is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin , released in late 1971 . It was composed by guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant for the band 's untitled fourth studio album ( often called Led Zeppelin IV ) . It is often referred to as one of the greatest rock songs of all time .   The song has three sections , each one progressively increasing in tempo and volume . The song begins in a slow tempo with acoustic instruments ( guitar and recorders ) before introducing electric instruments . The final section is an uptempo hard rock arrangement highlighted by Page 's intricate guitar solo accompanying Plant 's vocals that end with the plaintive a cappella line : `` And she 's buying a stairway to heaven . ''   `` Stairway to Heaven '' was voted number three in 2000 by VH1 on its list of the 100 Greatest Rock Songs , and was placed at number 31 on `` Rolling Stone 's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time '' . It was the most requested song on FM radio stations in the United States in the 1970s , despite never having been commercially released as a single there . In November 2007 , through download sales promoting Led Zeppelin 's Mothership release , `` Stairway to Heaven '' hit number 37 on the UK Singles Chart .

pos: The Yardbirds The Yardbirds are an English rock band formed in London in 1963 that had a string of hits during the mid-1960s , including `` For Your Love '' , `` Heart Full of Soul '' , `` Shapes of Things '' and `` Over Under Sideways Down '' . The group launched the careers of guitarists Eric Clapton , Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck , all of whom ranked in the top five of Rolling Stone magazine 's list of 100 greatest guitarists .   A blues-based band noted for their signature `` rave-up '' instrumental breaks , the Yardbirds broadened their range into pop , pioneering psychedelic rock and early hard rock ; and contributed to many electric guitar innovations of the mid-1960s , such as feedback , distortion and `` fuzztone '' . The bulk of the band 's most successful self-written songs came from vocalist and harmonica player Keith Relf , drummer Jim McCarty and bassist and producer Paul Samwell-Smith , who , with rhythm guitarist and bassist Chris Dreja , constituted the core of the group .   The band 's influence on both the music of the times and genres to come was great , and they inspired a host of imitators such as the Count Five and The Shadows of Knight . Rock critics and historians credit the Yardbirds with heavily contributing , if not inventing , `` the birth of psychedelic music `` and sowing the seeds of punk rock , progressive rock and heavy metal , among other genres .   After the Yardbirds broke up in 1968 , lead guitarist Jimmy Page founded what became Led Zeppelin , while Relf and McCarty formed the symphonic rock group Renaissance . The Yardbirds reformed in the 1990s , featuring McCarty , Dreja and new members . They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992 . They were included in Rolling Stone 's list of the `` 100 Greatest Artists of All Time '' , and ranked No. 37 on VH1 's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock .

neg: Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance The Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance was an award presented at the 2012 and 2013 Grammy Awards , a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards . According to the 54th Grammy Awards description guide it was designed for solo , duo/groups or collaborative ( vocal or instrumental ) hard rock or metal recordings and was limited to singles or tracks only .   The award was first presented in 2012 , after a major restructuring of Grammy categories . It combined the previous categories Best Hard Rock Performance and Best Metal Performance . The restructuring was a result of the Recording Academy 's wish to decrease the list of categories and awards . However , the Recording Academy announced in June 2013 that the category would split in 2014 , returning the Best Metal Performance category and recognizing quality hard rock performances in the Best Rock Performance category . According to the Academy , `` it was determined that metal has a very distinctive sound , and hard rock more closely aligns with rock and can exist comfortably as one end of the rock spectrum . ''

neg: Sunshine pop Sunshine pop ( originally `` soft pop '' ) is a subgenre of pop music originating in Southern California in the mid-1960s , although it only acquired the name later . Rooted in easy-listening , advertising jingles , and the growing drug culture , sunshine pop acts purveyed a lightly produced style that combined nostalgic or anxious moods with `` an appreciation for the beauty of the world '' .   It began as an outgrowth of the 1960s California Sound and folk rock movements , largely consisting of lesser-known artists who imitated more popular groups like the Beach Boys , the Mamas & the Papas , and the 5th Dimension . While the Beach Boys are noted as prominent influences , they rarely worked in the genre . Sunshine pop is characterized by lush vocals and light arrangements similar to samba music . In some ways the genre is similar to baroque pop music through being elaborate and melancholic , though it also crossed into folk pop and Brill Building styles .   Sunshine pop enjoyed mainstream success in the latter half of the decade , with many of its top 40 hits peaking in the spring and summer of 1967 , especially just before the Summer of Love . Popular bands include the Mamas & the Papas , the Turtles , and the Association . Other acts , like the Millennium , Sagittarius , and the Yellow Balloon were less successful but gained a cult following years later ; with albums like Begin ( 1968 ) and Present Tense ( 1968 ) highly sought-after on the collectors ' market .

neg: C.C.S. (album) C.C.S. was the first studio album of the British blues outfit Collective Consciousness Society , led by guitarist Alexis Korner .

neg: Characteristics of progressive rock Progressive rock is a term that refers to a musical style . The term was originally referred to as `` classical rock '' ( in which a band performed together with an orchestra ) , but the term 's use has expanded in recent years to include other fusions of music styles including jazz fusion , metal and folk rock musics . The term does not refer to one particular music style but to an approach that combines elements of diverse styles . Jerry Ewing , editor of Prog Magazine , explains that `` Prog is not just a sound , it 's a mindset . '' Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci outlines that Progressive rock is defined by its very lack of stylistic boundaries . The advent of the concept album , plus the genre 's roots in psychedelia , led albums and performances to be viewed as combined presentations of music , lyrics , and visuals .   Bands abandoned the short pop single in favor of instrumentation and compositional techniques more frequently associated with jazz or classical music as part of an effort to give rock music the same level of musical sophistication and critical respect . Progressive rock abandons the danceable beat that defines earlier rock styles and is more likely than other types of popular music to experiment with compositional structure , instrumentation , harmony and rhythm , or lyrical content . It may demand more effort on the part of the listener than other types of music .   Musicians in progressive rock typically display a high degree of instrumental skill , although this is not always the case . Virtuoso instrumental skills are so closely associated with progressive rock that authors such as Bill Martin consider it as a defining element and exclude bands such as Pink Floyd from consideration . It is not uncommon for musicians to have received a higher-than-average level of formal training . Players from the genre frequently appear in readers ' polls of publications that cater to musicians .

neg: The Fugs (album) The Fugs is a 1966 album by The Fugs , described in their AllMusic profile as `` arguably the first underground rock group of all time '' .

The album was re-released on CD in 1993 as The Fugs Second Album under the Fantasy label with five additional tracks : two live performances and three tracks recorded for Atlantic in 1967 for an album that was never released . In its review of the re-release , AllMusic finds them `` very ahead of their time lyrically '' and compares them to the punk band Dead Kennedys , both lyrically and in their shared `` weakness for crude humor '' .   In 2013 , David Bowie included it in a list of 25 of his favourite albums , `` Confessions of a Vinyl Junkie '' .

One of the concerts from this short tour , at Hiroshima on 27 September , was organised as a benefit show . As an expression of thanks , the city of Hiroshima presented the band with a letter of appreciation and the city medal by the local mayor .   During this tour , singer Robert Plant allegedly punched drummer John Bonham before one of the shows . This was not the only turbulent incident which occurred during the tour . As manager Peter Grant explained :   The concerts were recorded at the insistence of the Japanese Warner Pioneer label , which was owned by the band 's record company Atlantic Records . However , upon hearing the recordings guitarist Jimmy Page found the audio quality to be so inferior that he decided to wipe over the tapes and use them again .

neg: The Buggles The Buggles were an English new wave band formed in London in 1977 by singer and bassist Trevor Horn and keyboardist Geoffrey Downes . They are best known for their 1979 debut single `` Video Killed the Radio Star '' that topped the UK Singles Chart and reached number one in 15 other countries .   Formed in London , the duo released their first album , The Age of Plastic , in January 1980 with `` Video Killed the Radio Star '' as its lead single . Its music video was the first shown on MTV in the US on August 1 , 1981 . Soon after the album 's release , Horn and Downes joined the progressive rock band Yes , recording and releasing Drama in the process . Following a tour to promote the album , Yes disbanded in 1980 . The following year , the Buggles released a second album , Adventures in Modern Recording . Its lack of commercial success led to the break up of the group . Since 1998 , Horn and Downes have occasionally performed the Buggles ' songs . In October 2011 , The Buggles reunited to play at the British Music Experience at the O2 Arena in London .

neg: List of Led Zeppelin songs written or inspired by others In their career , the British rock band Led Zeppelin recorded many songs that consisted , in whole or part , of pre-existing songs , melodies , or lyrics . They sometimes credited those sources , sometimes not . This was common practice in the blues music world that influenced Led Zeppelin . The band has been sued a number of times over attribution , some cases having concluded with others being awarded writing credit for the song in question .   This is a partial list of songs that contributed to or inspired Led Zeppelin songs or covers . It includes non-controversial ones the band attributed to other writers from the outset .

neg: Led Zeppelin North American Tour 1975 Led Zeppelin 's 1975 North American Tour was the tenth concert tour of North America by the English rock band .

It was preceded with two European warm-up shows , performed at Rotterdam and Brussels respectively .

neg: Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary On May 14 , 1988 , the Atlantic Records label held its 40th Anniversary Celebration by staging a non-stop concert lasting almost 13 hours at Madison Square Garden , New York . The event was dubbed `` It 's Only Rock And Roll '' .   Only artists who had released material on the Atlantic label in the United States performed , with the artists spanning the 40 years of the company 's existence . Lavern Baker and Ruth Brown were the longest tenured Atlantic acts to perform , while Debbie Gibson was the most recent Atlantic signing to make an appearance at the event .   Some Atlantic signings , who had either officially split up or who had not performed together for a number of years , re-formed especially to perform at the concert . These artists included The Rascals , Iron Butterfly , and the former members of Led Zeppelin . Other notable performers included Yes , Genesis , Crosby , Stills & Nash , Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer ( representing Emerson , Lake & Palmer ) , Foreigner , Paul Rodgers , Bob Geldof , Booker T. Jones , Wilson Pickett , The Coasters , The Spinners , Peabo Bryson , The Blues Brothers ( featuring Dan Aykroyd and Sam Moore ) , Roberta Flack , The Manhattan Transfer , Bee Gees , Ben E. King and Vanilla Fudge .   There had been plans to close the performance with a greatest hits all-star jam , but this idea was shelved . Instead , the former members of Led Zeppelin performed as the last act .   The concert was broadcast live in the US on FM radio and HBO television , commentary for the latter being provided backstage by comedian Robert Townsend . HBO commenced its live broadcast a few hours into the event and interspersed footage of the concert which had been taped earlier by the network . In so doing , some of the artists ' sets were edited or omitted . An edited version aired later that year on ABC hosted by Robert Hays . Several banners heralding the reunion of Led Zeppelin band members were displayed like tapestry by excited fans , but , to their dismay , were taken down before HBO went with their live feed . The Audio was recorded by David Hewitt and Stanley Johnston on the Record Plant Black Truck .   In the United Kingdom the event was broadcast over a period of four weeks by BBC 2 , presented as hour-long episodes . Atlantic Records later released this production on video under the title Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary : It 's Only Rock 'n' Roll . The release intercut concert footage with highlights from earlier performances , as well as older footage from the Atlantic archives .

neg: Music Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound organized in time . The common elements of music are pitch ( which governs melody and harmony ) , rhythm ( and its associated concepts tempo , meter , and articulation ) , dynamics ( loudness and softness ) , and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture ( which are sometimes termed the `` color '' of a musical sound ) . Different styles or types of music may emphasize , de-emphasize or omit some of these elements . Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping ; there are solely instrumental pieces , solely vocal pieces ( such as songs without instrumental accompaniment ) and pieces that combine singing and instruments . The word derives from Greek μουσική #Ancient Greek ( mousike ; `` art of the Muses '' ) .   In its most general form , the activities describing music as an art form or cultural activity include the creation of works of music ( songs , tunes , symphonies , and so on ) , the criticism of music , the study of the history of music , and the aesthetic examination of music . Ancient Greek and Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies . Common sayings such as `` the harmony of the spheres '' and `` it is music to my ears '' point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to . However , 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music , saying , for example , `` There is no noise , only sound . ''   The creation , performance , significance , and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context . Indeed , throughout history , some new forms or styles of music have been criticized as `` not being music '' , including Beethoven 's Grosse Fuge string quartet in 1825 , early jazz in the beginning of the 1900s and hardcore punk in the 1980s . There are many types of music , including popular music , traditional music , art music , music written for religious ceremonies and work songs such as chanteys . Music ranges from strictly organized compositions -- such as Classical music symphonies from the 1700s and 1800s , through to spontaneously played improvisational music such as jazz , and avant-garde styles of chance-based contemporary music from the 20th and 21st centuries .   Music can be divided into genres ( e.g. , country music ) and genres can be further divided into subgenres ( e.g. , country blues and pop country are two of the many country subgenres ) , although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle , sometimes open to personal interpretation , and occasionally controversial . For example , it can be hard to draw the line between some early 1980s hard rock and heavy metal . Within the arts , music may be classified as a performing art , a fine art or as an auditory art . Music may be played or sung and heard live at a rock concert or orchestra performance , heard live as part of a dramatic work ( a music theater show or opera ) , or it may be recorded and listened to on a radio , MP3 player , CD player , smartphone or as film score or TV show .   In many cultures , music is an important part of people 's way of life , as it plays a key role in religious rituals , rite of passage ceremonies ( e.g. , graduation and marriage ) , social activities ( e.g. , dancing ) and cultural activities ranging from amateur karaoke singing to playing in an amateur funk band or singing in a community choir . People may make music as a hobby , like a teen playing cello in a youth orchestra , or work as a professional musician or singer . The music industry includes the individuals who create new songs and musical pieces ( such as songwriters and composers ) , individuals who perform music ( which include orchestra , jazz band and rock band musicians , singers and conductors ) , individuals who record music ( music producers and sound engineers ) , individuals who organize concert tours , and individuals who sell recordings and sheet music and scores to customers .

neg: Classic Albums Live Classic Albums Live is a concert series based in Toronto , Ontario , in which musicians perform a classic rock album in its entirety .

The musicians go to great lengths to faithfully recreate every sound on the original album . They have performed with orchestras , sitarists , choirs and schools . The shows are treated like recitals with the album being performed in its entirety followed by a ` greatest hits ' set of the featured artist .   Albums that have been performed include Led Zeppelin 's Led Zeppelin , Led Zeppelin II and Led Zeppelin IV , Bruce Springsteen 's Born to Run , Supertramp 's Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America , the Rolling Stones ' Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main St. , Fleetwood Mac 's Rumours , Eagles ' Hotel California , Guns N ' Roses ' Appetite for Destruction , Pink Floyd 's The Dark Side of the Moon , Wish You Were Here , The Wall and Animals , Queen 's A Night at the Opera , and the Beatles albums Rubber Soul , Revolver , Sgt.

neg: British rock and roll British rock and roll , or sometimes British rock 'n' roll , is a style of popular music based on American rock and roll , which emerged in the late 1950s and was popular until the arrival of beat music in 1962 . It has generally been considered inferior to the American version of the genre , and made little international or lasting impact . However , it was important in establishing British youth and popular music culture and was a key factor in subsequent developments that led to the British Invasion of the mid-1960s . Since the 1960s , some stars of the genre , most notably Cliff Richard , have managed to sustain successful careers and there have been periodic revivals of this form of music .

neg: Splendor Solis (album) Splendor Solis ( 1993 ) is The Tea Party 's second album , and their first major label release on EMI Music Canada . The overall tone of the album is very organic and natural , with many songs featuring 6 - and 12-string guitar acoustic guitars , and very little in terms of electronic effects or production techniques .   The album draws heavily on the rock and blues of the 1970s , as well as displaying some psychedelic influences . As a result , The Tea Party was often compared to Led Zeppelin , a parallel that was reinforced by Jeff Martin playing guitar with a violin bow ( not unlike Jimmy Page ) on `` Save Me '' . Martin 's appearance , voice and singing style also drew comparisons to those of Jim Morrison , as did some of the album 's lyrics . `` Sure , '' said Stuart Chatwood said of these comparisons `` we draw from 70s rock as much as the other influences we 've talked about . You ca n't ignore the power that Led Zeppelin or The Doors had , and there are elements of those influences in our songs , but it 's a cop out to then write us off as some retro act . If people listen closely , they 'll appreciate the originality of what we 're doing , time changes . The fact that Jeff 's a rock baritone does n't justify the laziness of critics who slag him as a Morrison wanna-be . ''   Splendor Solis sold very well in Canada , reaching # 20 on the Canadian album chart and platinum status in 1994 ( now double platinum in 2000 ) , and earning a Juno nomination for `` Best Hard Rock Album '' . The band was also nominated for `` Best New Group '' . Splendor Solis was also The Tea Party 's first gold selling album in Australia , where the band had enjoyed great success throughout their career .

neg: The London Rock and Roll Show The London Rock and Roll Show was a concert held at Wembley Stadium in Wembley Park , London , England , on 5 August 1972 . It is often said to have been the first ever concert held at the stadium , but in fact the band Yes had performed in the Stadium on 13 July 1969 .   From the late 1960s to the early 1970s , many rock and roll performers from the 1950s experienced major career revivals due to a temporary upswing of interest in their form of music . The Revival was marked by a series of major concerts in the United States , and also spread to Europe where events such as the Wembley concert attracted thousands of fans who came out to see the performers behind the music .   The concert included performances by major stars including Bo Diddley , Jerry Lee Lewis , Little Richard , and Bill Haley and His Comets . The concert ended with an extended performance by Chuck Berry , who at the time was enjoying major chart success in Britain and the US with his `` My Ding-a-Ling '' .   Originally billed rock and roll era acts The Platters , The Drifters and The Coasters were unable to perform due to work permit issues . The show was opened instead with sets from British rock and rollers The Houseshakers , Joe Brown , Emile Ford & the Checkmates , Screaming Lord Sutch , Heinz ( with Wilko Johnson on guitar ) and Billy Fury ; as well as songs from Jerry Lee Lewis 's sister Linda Gail Lewis .   Roy Wood 's new band Wizzard , only formed a few weeks previously , also made their live debut at the show .   Garage rockers MC5 were not over-popular with the crowd . Little Richard also got booed when he stopped singing rock and roll and jumped on top of his piano . As did a very new Gary Glitter , with The Glitter Band .   Mick Jagger attended the concert , but did not perform . Future Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren can be seen selling T-shirts from a stall in the film .   The concert was filmed and released in 1973 as The London Rock and Roll Show , directed by Peter Clifton . Although no soundtrack release occurred at the time the film was made , one was finally issued in the early 2000s ( decade ) , followed by several different releases with different combinations of performances .

neg: The Animals The Animals are an English rhythm and blues and rock band , formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in the early 1960s . The band moved to London upon finding fame in 1964 . The Animals were known for their gritty , bluesy sound and deep-voiced frontman Eric Burdon , as exemplified by their signature song and transatlantic No. 1 hit single , `` The House of the Rising Sun '' , as well as by hits such as `` We Got ta Get out of This Place '' , `` It 's My Life '' , `` I 'm Crying '' and `` Do n't Let Me Be Misunderstood '' . The band balanced tough , rock-edged pop singles against rhythm and blues-orientated album material . They were known in the US as part of the British Invasion .   The Animals underwent numerous personnel changes in the mid-1960s and suffered from poor business management . Under the name Eric Burdon and the Animals , the much-changed act moved to California and achieved commercial success as a psychedelic and hard rock band with hits like `` San Franciscan Nights '' , `` When I Was Young '' and `` Sky Pilot '' , before disbanding at the end of the decade . Altogether , the group had ten Top Twenty hits in both the UK Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100 .   The original lineup of Burdon , Alan Price , Chas Chandler , Hilton Valentine and John Steel reunited for a one off benefit concert in their home city of Newcastle in 1968 . They later had brief comebacks in 1975 and 1983 . There have been several partial regroupings of the original era members since then under various names . The Animals were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 .

neg: Blues in New Zealand The history of blues in New Zealand dates from the 1960s . The earliest blues influences on New Zealand musicians were indirect -- not from the United States but from white British blues musicians : first the R&B styles of The Animals and The Rolling Stones , and later the blues-tinged rock of groups such as Led Zeppelin . The first American blues artist to make a big impact in New Zealand was Stevie Ray Vaughan in the early 1980s . Other blues-related genres such as soul and gospel almost completely by-passed New Zealand audiences , except for a handful of hits from cross-over artists such as Ray Charles .

neg: Scarlet Party Scarlet Party was formed in Essex , England , in the early 1980s . The founder members were , singer/songwriters Graham Dye , and brother Steven Dye , with drummer Sean Heaphy .   They began to perform at many top venues , to a well established following , and had already recorded an album of original material , and were signed to a major record company , when joined by fourth member , Mark Gilmour , brother of Pink Floyd 's David Gilmour , on lead guitar .   The debut single , `` 101 Dam-Nations '' , was released on EMI 's famous Parlophone label , on 16 October 1982 , alongside a special re-release of Love Me Do , celebrating The Beatles ' 20th anniversary at EMI . This helped to get Scarlet Party noticed , and with the voice of Graham Dye , uncannily resembling that of John Lennon , a television , radio , and magazine , publicity campaign , helped to reinforce the connection . The single was enthusiastically received ( Kate Bush described it as her favourite ) , and reached number 44 in the UK Singles Chart .   The follow-up single `` Eyes Of Ice '' reached number 8 in the Portuguese chart . The single was released in February 1983 , on ice-clear vinyl , which was a request from the band , and all art-work for the sleeve was created by Graham Dye , using coloured pencils . EMI then decided not to release the completed album , which was to be called ` Scarlet Skies ' .   ` Scarlet Skies ' , was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in 1981-82 , but has never been officially released . The linked songs explore themes of war , love , and alienation , in styles reminiscent of both the mini pop operas of The Who , and the progressive concept albums of Pink Floyd .   The band recorded more original songs written by the Dye brothers , as a four-piece , until the departure of Mark Gilmour at the end of 1983 , and then , once again , as a three-piece , also working on other projects , including a musical cartoon adventure based on the band , none of which were taken on by EMI .   Scarlet Party continued performing live shows , joined briefly by new member Micky Portman on bass , and recorded several more tracks at Abbey Road Studios . However , the band now feeling disheartened , and disappointed in EMI , decided to call it a day at the end of 1985 .   Graham Dye went on to work as lead vocalist , on several albums by The Alan Parsons Project , and more recently , a new version of `` 101 Dam-Nations '' was made , featuring Graham and Steven Dye , together with Phil Collins of Genesis , playing the drums . The brothers requested the help of Alan Parsons to produce the recording , which is not yet available .
