Possibly the Nice and the Sons of Champlin? Triple bills were a regular thing at the Fillmore East (famously Van Morrison / Quicksilver Messenger Service / Brinsley Schwartz).
How about a c1969 photo of Bill Graham's Fillmore East on Second Avenue, NYC. Hendrix, the Byrds, Grateful Dead and Blood, Sweat & Tears are appearing. An MGB Roadster with detachable hardtop is passing by. But who were the Nice Sons?

This is a fantastic and well researched piece by @JNorthcroft on the exhilarating arrival of a bunch teenaged prodigies in the Premier League.
'Ngumoha, 17, is an uber-representation of the new wave of talent: incredible technically, precocious tactically, impressive athletically, stable psychologically. Programmed and perfected by the system'. ⬇️ Analysis from @JNorthcroft .

Managing your finances, no matter how much you make, is key to financial success. No one knows this better than @teyanataylor. The recent culinary school grad was given $300 to create a 🔥fit for Chime’s Ball on A Budget. See how she pulled it off. Powered by @Chime

A Blue Moment piece on getting away from the Isle of Wight festival 55 years ago today, sharing an airfield with Jimi Hendrix:.
thebluemoment.com
The problem with the 1970 Isle of Wight festival was how to get out of it. On the morning of Monday, August 31, exactly 55 years ago, something like 600,000 fans were going to be trying to leave th…

The BBC Sport website informs me that "Newcastle striker William Osula applied 57 pressures in the first half - more than any other player". Thanks. I'm sure you think that's useful to know. And yet, somehow, despite Osula and the data analysts, it's still nil-nil.

Good for Joe Cole, pointing out on TNT that VAR survives largely as a money-maker for its manufacturers and a job-creation scheme for those who operate it.

A new proposal from @CMSgov under @DrOz wants to add catheters, ostomy & trach supplies to Medicare’s competitive bidding program. This is a bad idea and will worsen outcomes for seniors & Medicare recipients. My latest in @MedPageToday explains why ⬇️

Limiting urological, tracheostomy, and ostomy supply options will do more harm than good

The Nottingham Post is the current iteration of the evening paper on which I started my working life 60 years ago this month. This boycott by a Reform-led county council looks a harbinger of struggles to come against emboldened forces of repression.

A Blue Moment piece on last night's memorial concert for the late Louis Moholo-Moholo at the 100 Club in London:.

There used to be a civilised convention that normal reviewing practice should be suspended for certain kinds of musical events: those put on for charity, or memorials. Of the celebration of the lif…

To mark today’s 50th anniversary of the release of ‘Born to Run’, here’s a rejected sleeve (different lettering) sent to me back then by a friend at Columbia Records, along with a test pressing.

Fascinating @nytimes obit of Ron Turcotte, who rode Secretariat to record-breaking Triple Crown victories in the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes in 1973:.

With Turcotte in the saddle, Secretariat powered to victory in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness in 1973 and then demolished the competition in the Belmont Stakes.

After this excoriation of Trump, I’m a Jack White fan for life.
BREAKING: The White House melts down and attacks music legend Jack White after he insults Donald Trump's "disgusting" and "vulgar" redecoration of the White House — prompting White to unleash a scathing takedown for the ages. MAGA should have just left well enough alone.

A Blue Moment welcome for an album by the quintet of the British singer/pianist Chris Ingham, enjoyably drawing out the jazz side of songs by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen:.
thebluemoment.com
The implied flavour of much of the music made by Donald Fagen and the late Walter Becker might be read as that of hard bop as played on the West Coast: laconic, brainy, slyly coded, but also someho…

I haven’t seen 16-year-old Jeremy Monga’s goal for Leicester City today, but I did see him for a handful of minutes coming on as a late sub at the City Ground last season, when he was still 15, and he absolutely looked the goods.
