Planet Caravan (written by Black Sabbath) Performed live by Rob McDade.  Jan 8 2013.
From Sabbath's album PARANOID. This track is a basic guitar loop, with some classic spacerock lyrics, and  jazzy guitar improv.  I try to do my best Ozzy vocal, and probably take the guitar solo a little too far! But I like to give myself plenty of room to stretch out and explore. ENJOY

Solo performer Rob McDade has been described as a 'Guitar Wizard'!

He wowed audiences as the opening act for the On The Verge concert at Elder Park during the 2007 Adelaide International Guitar Festival, sharing the bill with world-class guitarists Ed Kuepper, Kaki King, David Lindley and Vernon Reid. In 2009 he supported Pink Floyd Bassist, Guy Pratt at his Adelaide show; and he opened for world-class progressive rock band Unitopia in Adelaide in early 2010.  Playing semi-regularly in select venues around Adelaide, and occasionally interstate, Rob also made further appearances at the Adelaide International Guitar Festival in 2010 and 2014.

A diverse performer, Rob's musical stylings are suited to upfront pub gigs, festivals and stage shows as well as the laid-back ambience of cafes and restaurants.

Rob's music is very eclectic, with a myriad of influences from all genres of music. Playing guitar and vocal folk-style numbers in between multi-layered psychedelic guitar epics, incorporating loads of improvisation and unearthly sounds, Rob's performance is sure to entertain anybody with a true love of musical expression and an appreciation of instrumental virtuosity.

A multi-ward winning composer, Rob has released several albums including his highly acclaimed TERRAFIRMA (2007).
