It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
I love the piano part in Riders On The Storm by The Doors. The piano solo that begins at 6:18 is simply amazing in how it combines blues, rock, and jazz.
Hello guys! I'm convinced that there is no music in the Universe that would be impossible to play on piano. As for the Rock music, sometimes you can play literally almost everything like in original, or sometimes you can "adjust" Rock to piano's nature. But anyway, it's always enjoyable and fun! I'm classically trained pianist, but deep inside I'm a "Rocker" :-) Also I like making sheets for my arrangements. So if you like them, you can let me know and I will send them to you for free. Here is "Welcome to the jungle"
This is "Soldier of Fortune"
Feel free to talk to me
I loved that Soldier of Fortune, though I had no idea what it was, never heard it before! It was very enjoyable though! And in a restaurant?
Although a kind of fusion of southern rock and jazz, it still appeals to some of the classic rock lovers: the 70s group Sea Level was very piano-/keyboard-centered.

Hi. I'm just getting ready for another try at learning piano, and I've been reviewing the forums.
Anyway, if you want to hear what may be the ultimate rock piano performance ever, I suggest the album, Jerry Lee Lewis, Live at the Star Club, Hamburg.
I'll let one quotation from allmusic.com try to describe it... "In any case, Live at the Star Club is extraordinary -- the purest, hardest rock & roll ever committed to record."
If you have Spotify, Apple Music, or any subscription music service, it's the first half of an album called,The Killer Live, 1964-1970.
PS One more quote from allmusic.com... "Words cannot describe -- cannot contain -- the performance captured on Live at the Star Club, Hamburg, an album that contains the very essence of rock & roll."
On my list that I didn't catch here yet: Eagles - Hotel California Billy Joel - Miami 2017 Billy Joel - Downeaster Elexa Edwin McCain - Could Not Ask For More Le Roux - New Orleans Ladies Dobi Grey - Drift Away Carpenters - Close to You Bob Seeger - Against the Wind
