Whats playing on your system today?
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?

Steve Walsh "Glossolalia" This album is a masterpiece in my opinion, but then again I am an extremely biased Kansas fan from way back! Here is a couple of cuts I picked out, but the whole album is solid from start to finish! https://youtu.be/hoohjfQCCAo https://youtu.be/DOgfEEyiNnU |
nutty , I grew up in Baltimore Crack the Sky was the local band.Good for you.. played some lps...... Al Demiola Chick Corea Herbie Hancock Branford Marsalis Kevin Eubanks Had a jazz buddy over. got a cheap db meter .80-90 db lol guys with there gadgets . So that level is easy to tell, it's just loud enough that it's hard to talk to the guy in the other recliner ..pefect because nobody is talking :-) but not rippin.... |
Hey Nutty - Not sure what hits collection you were playing. The 2 compilations that I like (they focus on pre-Fly Like an Eagle) are Steve Miller Band - Anthology and Steve Miller Band - The Best of 1968 - 1973. Good reminder on Wishbone Ash. I will have to dig into them. Have some OLD vinyl that was/is my wife's but they never hooked me. Still, worth trying again. One of the first bands to feature twin leads. haha - I gave jafant some grief about GnR over on The Minority Report. Hope he doesn't mind. |
ghosthouse, Great post, thanks for the links. Like you, I am not big fan of Miller. But he has some great hits that will live on. I recently played his greatest hits out by the pool with friends. His groove is refreshing every now and then. Today I listened to Wishbone Ash, Just Testing.... I found a great link of them performing "Living Proof". https://youtu.be/L6xxDrPgIis jafant, Not a big GNR fan but Slash ranks high on my guitar hero list. N |
Steve Miller Heard way too much of Fly Like an Eagle back when it first hit. The lab where I worked played a local AM station all day long. The several hits from that album and Book of Dreams got pounded to death. Never bought either as a result. BUT around 40 years later, have to admit these are some good albums although my preference for Steve’s music is more for his first 5 albums, as uneven as they can be. Nice interview here (3 parts) that my bro in law turned me onto.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEoOZPfcafo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adkOVSHEL9M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kjz6fKLozyM&spfreload=10 |
@bdp24 There is some variability of SQ, particularly within Holland, but all three SACDs sound fine. I haven’t yet compared them to other new and old versions I have on LP. Without revealing specifics, Acoustic Sounds mentions that most but not all their BB releases are from original master tapes. There is controversy on other forums about the surround mix on Sunflower, but apparently no foul in stereo. I bought the SACDs instead of the LP versions because with my current digital set-up I slightly prefer MoFi SACDs to their 45 RPM vinyl counterparts. |
"What's New", - Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle...amazingly good on vinyl. "Live In The Air Age" - BeBop Deluxe, digital My vinyl copy all worn out. One of the best performances and live recordings I've heard. "Adventures In A Yorkshire Landscape" alone is worth the price of admission. In fact, if you're unfamiliar with Bebop start here, their studio stuff pales by comparison. "Brothers In Arms" - Dire Straits. Needed a Knopfler fix... |
Genesis ...wind and wuthering steve howe ...the beginning yes ....fragile csn csn ( darkstar side) sounds great ) Kansas leftoverature ....just opus insert 2 ( last song side A) what a system flexer !!! It will show and go or fail the weak system! Steely dan pretzel logic a side herbie hancock blue note volume 1 tribute live all vinyl :-) |
Listening to all vinyl tonight. Pulling out some stuff I haven't listed to in years and a couple of regulars..... Dwight Twilley Band - Twilley Don't Mind Robin Trower - Long Misty Days Budgie - Bandolier Carlos Santana and Mahavishnu John McLaughlin - Love Devotion Surrender Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida Joe Jackson - Night and Day |
nutty, I thought I was the only person on this side of the pond that listened to Budgie. I've got 3 or 4 of there records. Great stuff. Ahead of there time by a few years, I think. Early prog IMHO. U in Cinci? If you want to sample a few of their CD,s let me know. BTW, Lucinda Williams is at the 20th Century next Tuesday. I'll be there.... |
