O/T What's your all time favourite instrumental piece of music?

[CAMiller]

So many to choose from, visitors to Millmoor in the 80s/90s will be familiar with this one but probably not the full and glorious 5+ minutes.

H Samuels? You'll have to enlighten me.

Love the Booker T stuff. Green Onions always reminds me of "American Graffitti" a favourite film of mine.

Forgot to put the blocker on and I had to skip a jewellry ad, my mistake sorry for the confusion.

Great film "American Graffiti ".
Here's another one...

Vangelis - Chariots of Fire.

Some good ones so far.

Depends on the mood for me.

Dance music late 90s / 2000s Sandstorm by Darude

Earlier stuff Janis by Focus, or an instrumental version of You've Lost That Lovin Feeling by a band called Zzebra

Was just watching that Casper and wondering whether to include it - great minds eh?

For those who remember 1973 here's one that unexpectedly topped the charts for 4 weeks in the days of Wizzard, Slade, Gary Glitter, David Cassidy, Donny Osmond, Suzy Quattro, Sweet, 10CC and Peters and Lee.

Grimethorpe Colliery Band of course playing Floral Dance .

They might have played it but not as famously as Brighouse and Rastrick

Through the years since I was born way back in 60 I've been brought up on some great instrumental music, as vocals weren't always required.

Some may say Albatros by Fleetwood Mac, or Carlos Santana with Samba Pa Ti (to the young ones that's the Marks and Spencers advert music) and many many more which I hope you will contribute to this thread.

For me during my childhood I often heard this piece of music and even now it always reminds me of being small,long school holidays, blazing summers with long tall grass, Clifton Park with the paddling pool and the donkey rides, stop laughing

Anyway I digress, go on have a think of an instrumental you can quickly relate to from way back when and post it on here.

They say variation is the spice of life and it will be interesting to hear others choices.

Here's mine....

The much sampled Bob James.

Excellent music from an excellent tv show

The Hendrix version of 'Star spangled banner at Woodstock. Spur of the moment improvisation. His view of the state of American politics at the time? Still gives me goosebumps.
