Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.
I listened to Trower songs: Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....
Then I pulled out "Gamma". I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....
Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?
Wendy O. Williams | WOW - Prouduced by Gene Simmons and Featuring Ace Frehley, Paul Stanley And Eric Carr. I caught Wendy’s live show at Bogarts in Cincinnati, easily the loudest concert ever.
Will Downing-Love's The Place To Be(CD 1993) A smooth start to vinyl night with an artist with 22 studio albums that is relatively unknown to the Audiophile community. If you enjoy Gregory Porter please give Mr. Downing a listen.
Diana Krall….rotating through her stable of cd’s, and comparing the audio performance directly against the hi-def streaming versions on QOBUZ.,
IMO it’s an interesting bake-off between a very high-end cdp/dac ( REGA ISIS VALVE cdp/dac) against a quality build and performance from a high-end MOON MIND2 network player/streamer/ dac
The wild card ad-hoc influencers:
- the quality of the recording digital actual mastering , or remastering. That in turn has three subsets therein:
(a) Think skill of the engineer in recording /re-mastering the digital files and cd.
-(b) XRCD silver disks versions are a step-up from the usual red book cd version
- (c) Generally BUT not exclusively , 24/192 streamed files will generally best most 16/44 digital streamed files,….with reference to the points above
(d) the high-end dac in my REGA playing cd’s (especially XRCD) can frequently better the 24/192 streamed version….with reference to the points above .
Sounds like an awesome way to spend the day. Trower and Montrose are both absolute legends and Davey Pattison's voice is so underrated. Too Rolling Stoned is a classic and that groove never gets old. I haven't listened to Gamma in a while but now you're making me want to dig back into those albums. Lately I've been on a bit of a UFO and early Scorpions kick so hearing that Pattison worked with Schenker makes me want to check out those collaborations too. Thanks for the inspiration and great picks.
