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?
My only other DC album was "Home"...because it was the only one that was offered on lp at the time. It is a great lp! Superior songwriting and a more mature offering than "Fly", IMO. I had to go for (Fly) now that it has been on out lp. I have fun comparing/listening. Still a good debut.
Going to put on Robert Plant "Carry Fire" in a little bit.
I Really like this album. Not just some old bags reliving history and cashing in on the band name by releasing substandard songs, it’s really solid material all the way through, even if more than a few tunes trickled out the past few years, making this a compilation of sorts.
slaw, reubent, Thanks for mentioning ...."The Cranberries "Everybody Else is Doing it,....." I ordered the CD this afternoon. I don't have a turntable. Call it "vinyl-envy". But it's been a while since Ive heard some of those tracks. Sounded great.
Too bad the Gardens had to be torn down. Was a nice old building. Beautiful facade. Also housed 2 sheets of ice used by youth, high-school and college hockey and figure-skating programs, covering the Greater Cincinnati Area, UC and Xavier. Was a great loss to those programs. I spent many Saturday and Sunday mornings there for youth hockey with my son. I hope they do something productive with the site.
reubent, I forget that you are familiar with Cincinnati. We actually saw them at the Cincinnati Gardens. It was a killer show. It has since been demolished. Sorry if I misspoke about it being in Norwood. It was a only minutes north of 562.
@slaw - Saw your post from 1/13/2018 regarding The Cranberries - "Everybody else is doing it, so why can't we?" on Analog Spark LP. I've always enjoyed that album, but only had it on original CD. Put it in my Amazon wishlist yesterday and woke up this morning to the news of Dolores O'Riordan's death. Went to Amazon to purchase the Lp and it had gone out of stock. Ran over to my totally awesome LRS - Plaid Room Records in Loveland, OH and they had a copy waiting for me at the front desk since I had called ahead.
Anyway, really sad news regarding Ms. O'Riordan. I've always liked The Cranberries sound. The Analog Spark reissue is fantastic. Much better than my old original release CD.
Frank Zappa, Sheik Yerbouti. Whoa, Frank’s quite the potty mouth! I also discovered those standard charcoal foam ear pads on Grados and other similar headphones really suck sound wise.
Vinyl: Tommy Dorsey - This is Tommy Dorsey; Tchaikovsky - The Nutcracker; St. Vincent - Masseducation; Bennett & Gaga - Cheek to Cheek; St. Vincent - S/T.
Triumph...a true blast from the past there Took me back to England in the early 80,s and some outdoor festival where OZZY was headlining but this group called Triumph was about 3rd on the stage, never heard of them until then. WOW indeed Tear the roof off tonight, and that they did!
You are right on about Warren Haynes! Just saw Govt Mule live two weeks ago in Atlantic City, NJ. Incredible show! I regret not pushing myself to see their two New Year’s shows in NYC. Maybe next year...
I have a lot of cassettes and I play back through a Nakamichi582. Like vinyl quality of recording can be a mixed bag.
This mix on cassette ranks among one of my better cassette recordings. The vocals and acoustic guitar are real standouts. Not sure how many others here still play tapes......
I have compared the vinyl to tidal streamed version.
The vinyl wins hands down on all fronts. The soundstage and imaging is much more defined. Just comparing say drum strikes, the vinyl really sounds like a drum(full and vibrant) whereas the tidal sounds more sterile. Bass also feels more natural and strives lower imho. I may have to order that cranberries album from their label too.
Sco-Mule - Gov't Mule with guitarist John Scofield - on vinyl. Instrumental jazz fusion Mule! Reminds me of the classic Jeff Beck records, but with 2 amazing guitar players!
