| What are your top 5 Billboard top 10 songs of the 1970"s? These don't meet the OP's criteria; but, they probably should have: You Got Me Anyway - Sutherland BrothersI'll Be The One - BadfingerDirty Work - Steely DanPlanet Queen - T RexI'm On Fire - Dwight Twilley BandPretty Lady - LighthouseUntil You ... | |

| Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions? There's a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 300's listed on Audiogon for $1,049 (which is a great price); however, it is for local pickup only. But, he is in Phoenix, which should be doable from your location in Dallas. Good luck on your quest! | |
| Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city The Music Room (TMRaudio.com) has a pair of Acoustic Zen Crescendos (MK II) for $8,999 + shipping ($499). They retail for $22K. Should be a good match for your cables; and, TMR has a "buy it, try it" policy; so, you're only on the hook for the shi... | |
| So done with audiophile fuses "Will you walk away from a fool and his money" is from the song "Come and Get It," which was written by Paul McCartney.....but, first recorded by the band Badfinger,. It was probably Badfinger's biggest hit, and the song was also produced by Paul ... | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? Lots of great advice so far; but, here's some first hand experience to consider...Many years ago my house took a direct hit by lightning and it fried many things, including my Sim Audio amp. I took it to a local Sim Audio dealer who then sent it b... | |
| One Cord To Rule Them All + 1 on Cullen Cable. The only downside is their product rarely shows up on the used market and there is probably a 3+ week wait if you order something directly from them. I have no experience with Pangea products; but, a friend of mine who works i... | |
| Any good experience in discovering new music via TV or movie recently ? + 1 on American Utopia. I was also impressed by a recent feature that CBS Saturday Morning did on Michael Kiwanuka. | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @crimsoniter, I've seen almost 500 concerts (am about a dozen short); but, "almost a thousand concerts," now that is impressive! | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @boothroyd, good choice with Stephen Bruton. I wish I would've caught Gary Clark, Jr in the local clubs when I had the chance. I heard about The Shady Grove and Threadgills closing down. Man, it looks like the world is probably gonna be a boring p... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @Only waytoomuchstuff, great story about the Texas International Pop Festival. I know there are bootlegs of some of those sets floating around, because a friend of mine has a copy of Santana's set. I remember the sound quality being surprisingly g... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @milkkefir, good choice with Joni Mitchell's 79 tour with Jaco & Metheny. Her 74 tour for "Miles of Aisles" with Tom Scott & The LA Express (Robben Ford on guitar) would also be a good choice. | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? Traffic from 1967 - 1973. I'd want to see the original lineup with Dave Mason, the modified original lineup for "Welcome To The Canteen" (with Jim Gordon & Ric Gretch), the "John Barleycorn" lineup and the lineup with the Muscle Shoals boys th... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @sgreg1, you make two good points:1) "SRV, so I could tell him not to get on the helicopter!"Now that's the kind of creative response that I've been looking for in this thread!!2) "I was there...but, I didn't have the opportunity to remember the m... | |
| If you had access to a time machine, what concerts would you go back to see? @kingbr, great point about catching a band early in their career, before they go mainstream and sell out (assuming they even get that opportunity). Not to mention having to deal with the trendster - wannabe, "Johnny come lately" fans that show up ... |
