Spectacular Drum Set?

I'll second Mickey Hart/Airto "Dafos". It was recorded in a theater in San Fran in the early 80's. I have it on CD released by Referance Recordings and can only imagine how good it must sound on 45 rpm LP.

To qoute the liner, "Consider that the sounds you hear on this album were recorded in a real concert space, not in a studio, were mixed on the spot to two tracks with no overdubbing, artificial reverb or equalization, and marvel at the engineering wizardry of Kieth Johnson."

This has become my reference when auditioning audio gear.

Rush, different stages . live
The Rythm Method
Disc #2, track #8
This is a spectacular solo by Neil Peart, one of the greatest progressive rock drummers in the world. Rush may not be everyone's cup of tea, but every person I have played this cut for has enjoyed the solo.

RUSH-EXIT...STAGE LEFT! Track 3 YYZ!
OR RUSH-A Show Of Hands. The Rythm Method.
OR DREAM THEATER-LIVE AT THE MARQUEE 1993 (OUT OF PRINT).

On the Joe Jackson record Heaven and Hell is a piece (anger) where two drummers are playing the same part, one on the right, and one on the left. Turn it up, and you'll be blown away. Probably your neighbours as well.....

I second Yim Hok-Man. This man is a percussion genius and virtuoso.

I've also always been very fond on Mike Giles performances on "Court of the Crimson King" Very tight,very dynamic.
