Heart Made Of Stone

about

Recorded in October 1970 at the Indoor Festival of Music, Top Rank Suite, Sunderland with guests Free, Deep Purple, Principal Edward's Magic Theatre and Cochise. A great evening organised by promoter Geoff Docherty who did a fantastic job bringing the top bands to the
North East of England. Although impossible to know at the time, this was the beginning of a special era. Free's classic single All Right Now from their Fire And Water album was climbing the charts. Deep Purple were also having huge success with their In Rock album and their hit single Black Night. Principal Edward's were an amazing collection of artistes originally from Exeter University and the first group to be signed to John Peel's Dandelion record label. Cochise were a great 'country rock' band who had just released their first album (with a rather risque picture on the sleeve). These bands have become legends and many of the individual members have gone on to be hugely successful in a wide range of fields.

We moved away from our usual set list and opened up with this now familiar sounding 12 bar rock song with the type of riffs that every modern young rock guitarist has in their repertoire. Hard to imagine that at the time this sort of guitar playing was new and was the basis of improvisation that launched many a rock guitar hero. When you hear guitarists talking about root notes, minor thirds, fifths, sixths and sevenths, this is where it all started - the pentatonic blues scale. Back then, they used to say you can't play the guitar if you can't play the blues and it still holds true today.

lyrics

You know you don't love me
Why don't you leave me alone?
You know you don't love me
You never come on home
You're a cold blooded woman
You've got a heart made of stone

You know you don't want me
Why don't you let me go?
You know you don't want me
Why don't you tell me so?
You're a cold blooded woman
You've got a heart made of stone

Crying gets you trouble
Lying gets you double
Trying to do the best that you can
Gets you nothing at all
Persona non gratis
The problem with that is
You won't be satisfied
Till you see me crawl

You know you don't need me
Why keep me hanging on?
You know you don't need me
But you're just bad to the bone
You're a cold blooded woman
You've got a heart made of stone
