@loomisjohnson James Dewar was the best! He was really shy and wouldn’t get out front so maybe the shallow inpercipients running the rock promotion mafia back then didn’t help. We know though. Who’s got a better voice to let microphones and a PA fill a stadium? I can’t think of one. He did it effortlessly. Thank you for the clarification on the Fleetwood Mac. I don’t know anything about that band. I see though that maybe Stevie Nicks wasn’t on that record so might give it a try. |
I was fortunate to have seen Robin Trower perform the Bridge Of Sighs concert in 1974, just after the album released. Roughly center stage and about 10 rows from the stage. Very memorable. Friday Music did a reissue but I have no idea if it was properly mastered/plated/pressed and if the SQ is much better. It's no longer available as new and I can find only two NM/M- used at $60 and $225 (some people are beyond ridiculous). Anyway, I'll keep one of my copies and give the other to my brother-in-law. I cherish the music and will listen at a lower volume. That always helps with lesser SQ albums. |
@spiritofradio James, anything from Fleetwood Mac prior to Stevie Nicks is their best music. I will give them excellence to the album "Rumors", though. That is really quite good. Kiln House and Then Play On are my favorites, by far. Completely different music than the pop version of the band, which is about when Stevie Nicks came on board. I saw them play in 1972 and then again much later, after the album Tusk came out. What a world of difference. 1972 was a superb concert. The Tusk concert was rather boring, the same long-winded screaming guitar stuff and Stevie Nicks bellowing like a sick cow. (sorry for the strong opinion here). |
