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?

It's is a Black cover. Just says Rory Gallagher
and Stage Struck. Both LP.            From soundstage direct 
Also preordered Robin Trower. . "Where are you going".  LP.  On Amazon

Start with these and look foreword to a good listen

My system is KRELL 450mcx  mono amps ,KCT  preamp ,KPS 28 cd
all cast.   PBN Grovemaster TT built by Peter.   B&W sub and B&W 803 not diamonds.  I enjoy the sound at med to low listening levels, just personal taste.
interconnects are Valhalla  and  Shunyata power conditioning. Two dedicated 20 amp circuits.  The ONE bi wire speaker connects
Weak link I think are the speakers.  15 yrs of equipment acquisition

Ghost, thanks for the reminder of "Mind Transplant", which I knew about but have never heard.  Will check into that.  Your reference to Mouzon reminded me of Larry Coryell, "Introducing the Eleventh House", with Mouzon (and Randy Brecker, as I recall).  Tinny sound but interesting music.

I agree with you on Bolin with Deep Purple.  Their styles just don't seem to mesh (for that matter I've never been a huge fan of DP with Steve Morse, though I'm a big fan of the original DP lineup and Steve Morse with the Dregs).

As for Zephyr, I prefer "Sunset Ride" to "Sail On" and Bolin isn't even on that album.

One reason I like Barnstorm is the backing musicians,  Joe Lala (Blues Image, Stills' Manassas, and a host of others), Kenny Passerelli and Joe Vitale, who sort of became the house band at Caribou studio for a while.  Showed up on albums with Dan Fogelberg, Michael Stanley, Fools Gold, and probably a bunch I can't think of.

Back to the theme of the OP, I'm presently listening to, and "The Who Sell Out", extended version.  What a wonderful album.

Today I went in another direction. I listened to another great guitarist and vocalist. 
When they arrived on scene, they we're considered progressive rock. The band known as "Kansas". Kerry Livgren and Steve Walsh. (I know great violinist as well). (Jean-Luc Ponty anyone?, song Demagomania).

I listened to the self titled " Kansas". Songs " Can I tell you", "Bringing it back", and "Journey from Mariabronn. Fantastic debut in my opinion. Then "Song for America".
Solid albumn but my favorite song, "Lonely street". It's got guts!!

Then I listened to Kerry Livgren's solo album "Seeds of change". I like this albumn. 
It's packed with talent.  Steve Walsh, Phil Ehart and Robby Steinhardt of Kansas. Kerry actually sing on this albumn. Kerry's wife does some backing vocals as well. 
Barrie Barlow of "Jethro Tull" plays drums.
Ronnie James Dio is on two cuts, "mask of the great deceiver" and " To live for the King". And David Pack comes courtesy of Ambrosia on "Ground Zero".
