| How serious are you? Warning: I drank a bottle of champagne as I cooked dinner tonight, as the following may make obvious. We all started out first as music lovers (I myself bond with other humans first and foremost in terms of being fellow music lovers), eventually ... | |
| Robbie Robertson has passed away :-( Robertson is also involved with the music for the upcoming Scorsese film Killers Of The Flower Moon. Very appropriate, given Robbie's Native American heritage. | |
| As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. Good points you raise @ledoux1238. I admit to having reservations about digitizing all signals passing through the DSP of the 8c (and the Sanders version of same). I accept the assertion that digital technology has improved to the point of it bein... | |
| As he promised, Guttenberg reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8c. The now-deleted post was from @vonhelmholtz, asking "Are you a dealer, or a representative of ET?" No offense taken, that’s a fair question. The answer is nope, just a very satisfied ET LFT-8b owner, doing what I can to help reward the outstandin... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? @rpeluso: As is Jackson, whom I have somehow never heard live. Gotta do that before he or I die. Iris is very charming live, with lots of self-deprecating humour. Her piano playing is somewhat reminiscent of that of Randy Newman, with those New O... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Iris DeMent tonight at The Aladdin Theater in Portland, OR. She closed the show with this fantastic song: https://youtu.be/FikZwgj89HI?t=1 Harmony vocal sung by Emmylou Harris, dobro played by Jerry Douglas. | |
| Tune of the Day Iris sang this song in her show tonight at The Aladdin Theater in Portland, OR: https://youtu.be/VOS7OiLE11c?t=1 | |
| Robbie Robertson has passed away :-( @szeidman2002: There is a 4-CD/1-DVD expanded boxset of Rock Of Ages, entitled Live At The Academy Of Music 1971. I am fortunate in having seen & heard The Band live in The Berkeley Community Theater during the s/t-"brown" album tour, and they... | |
| RIP Robbie Robertson @szeidman2002: I wholeheartedly agree about Rock Of Ages. If you’re not anti-digital there is an expanded 4-CD/1-DVD boxset of the album, entitled Live At The Academy Of Music 1971. Also great is their live album with Dylan, Before The Flood. I p... | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection Back atcha! | |
| The Aaron Copland / Bob Dylan connection Haven't a clue @jafant. But I would love any Planet Waves unreleased tracks or alternative versions. And an expanded Before The Flood---from the 1974 tour with The Band, if any unreleased tracks exist. Bill Graham sold tickets for the San Francis... | |
| Robbie Robertson has passed away :-( @yyzsantabarbara: Robbie acted in one movie, Carny (1980), in which Jodie Foster and Gary Busey star. Have you seen Robbie’s autobiographical film Once Were Brothers? Very interesting, well worth your time. Not to minimize Robertson, but Band dru... | |
| New In 2023 For the first time on LP, Wayne Hancock's A-Train Blues album (Bloodshot Records). Cut in 20 hours with producer Lloyd Maines, released on CD in 2001. Red hot Hillbilly/Rockabilly. | |
| Tune of the Day "The Weight", one of Robbie Robertson's best songs. Another is "It Makes No Difference". | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? - The Band: Music From Big Pink. - The Band: s/t (the "brown" album). - Either Iris DeMent’s My Life (critic Robert Christgau gave it an A+ grade) or John Hiatt’s Bring The Family. All four are, imo, perfect albums. |
