WristScan

. . . is celebrating its fortieth anniversary this week.  Are there any performances you would've given an arm and a leg to have seen? 




Led Zeppelin, Madison Square Garden, 1973.

Kindly share a video clip or two, along with . . .

. . . a favorite watch ;-) . . .

All my watches are favorites (like kids) but a favorite band:


(From Joe's Garage)

My favorite, for the day, GP "Phil Hill" (XX/200):

Can't decide between color and B&W, as usual:

A good watch for a not so hot day (we are on our "winter" here).

A great weekend to all,

Nilo

. . . but it's deserved in Frank's case.  Practically zilch in terms of commercial success, yet admired by his peers.  Funny, I can name a few Zappa albums right off the top of my head - "(something) Motels", "Burnt Weanie Roast", and "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" - even though I never owned them. 

Btw, "Phil" . . . 

[Phil Hill, American driver, and winner of three GP races]

. . . looks smashing in color!

Driving a Ferrari 156 and that is the reason that my watch has "156 F.1" in red on the dial.

I may be wrong but I believe that Phil Hill was the only born American that ever won the F 1 championship.
Mario Andretti also won but he was born in Italy and later naturalized American.

Cheers,

Nilo

. . . was Dan Gurney . . .

. . . who won four races over the course of his career, and was reputed to have been the one driver Jim Clark respected most.  I saw him race on several occasions, most notably the inaugural California 500 at the now-defunct Ontario Motor Speedway.  He hit the wall directly in front of where I was sitting on the third turn while I was taking a b&w photo, but the picture was overexposed, and unfortunately I've since lost track of it.

Mario Gabriele Andretti (born February 28, 1940) is a retired Italian American world champion racing driver, one of the most successful Americans in the history of the sport. He is one of only two drivers to win races in Formula One, IndyCar, World Sportscar Championship and NASCAR (the other being Dan Gurney).

. . . let's add Peter Revson . . .

. . . seen here with you-know-who after their second place finish at Sebring in 1970.  I'd forgotten this, but Revson had two GP wins under his belt.  He was my second favorite driver, after his Trans-Am teammate Mark Donohue.
