Whats playing on your system today?

Jafant, uberwaltz, 

I saw Van Halen with DLR in Cincinnati on the 1984 Tour. Not bad as I recall. But I agree, with Sammy they were on another level. 
Also it's been a while since I've listened to Balance. I recall the disc being a tad bright. Now I have different speakers, I'll give it a quick spin. 

falconquest,

Good to see Masque getting another nod. Kansas is/was a great band. 
Song For America's- "Lonely Street" has got some grit! 

N

Death Cab for Cutie.   Codes and keys

Wilco.  The Album.   

Christian McBride, Roy Hargrove - Parker’s Mood. Aww man this is good!

Cheers

The sq on my tape version of Balance leans the opposite way from bright....lol.
However still a good listen.

I can relate to your DLR experience - I went to see Dream Theater about 3 years ago, in a great venue with exceptional acoustics.  We had just seen Bonnie Raitt there and she was glorious as usual.  We actually walked out of the DT concert - it was so loud, so incredibly distorted, it was unlistenable.  Vocals were just *barely* audible, and completely indiscernable.  Really disappointing.  I don't know why they felt the need to mix it like that.

Atomic Rooster "In Hearing Of" spinning now, following Uriah Heep's "Demons and Wizards".

BTW - I checked out some Mostly Autumn; Very nice!  Thanks for the info, I'll have to get some of their albums, any suggestions of top picks?
