Beyond the Thunder ... Neal Schon.
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.
This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

More Joe Walsh, from "...the Player You Get" Lots of great tracks on this one. For me... Track 3 - Wolf https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh1GUZOvqjY Just hadn’t gotten to it yet @pjr801. Welcome to the thread. |
Joe Walsh - - Barnstorm - So What - But Seriously Folks On the wrong side of the season for this one... Track 3 - Indian Summer (w/Eagles on harmonies) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kobVA3la6ts "Not a lot smarter but another year old...." |
Smash Palace - Best Of '99 - '06 Try (track 13) Originally on Fast, Long, Loud 1999. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-pAvUnTKfg&list=PLDiJW30uogCO0ekpCkNJXb4MjZq0IamAa&index=16 |
Bill Bruford - If Summer Had Its Ghosts (w/Ralph Towner & Eddie Gomez) Amethyst (track 7) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2pKv2XKGE8 A welcome respite from the McLaughlin and Mahavishnu that were just playing (Industrial Zen and Inner Mounting Flame, respectively). YEESH. Talk about "agita" inducing. Industrial Zen does have some rewarding moments despite drums that are way too loud in the mix and an annoying vocal on a couple of tracks. |
@ghosthouse, Paul Jones was in only the original Manfred Mann line up, the first four albums, I believe. He sang the early hits like "Do Wah Diddy Diddy", and left the band in the middle of '66. Manfred Mann was very different from the other British Invasion bands, being distinctly Jazz and R & B driven. Little known fact: Jack Bruce was a member for awhile! |
@bdp24 Thanks for the comments. Another case of "concert-envy". Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Don't get me started about Steve Winwood. Agree with you - one of the greatest rock vocalists (and not a bad GITtar player either...not only organ). Don't know Paul Jones. Are you positive about the Manfred Mann connection? (aka Manfred Mann's Earthband). All I can remember by them was Blinded By The Light (that is one Springsteen song I really hate) and Quinn The Eskimo. Don't remember their vocalist lighting things up for me. |
@dougsat Have not heard Three Chords. I probably have more Van Morrison than any other artist (well, except maybe Dylan) but not that one. The latest Van M. I spent a lot of time with was Keep It Simple (2008). I have Born To Sing from 2012, but little time with it. I get in modes (weeks) where I'm listening to a LOT of Van. I keep going back to Common One, Poetic Champions, No Guru...No Teacher, Back On Top & The Healing Game. Pulling out Moondance today was the first time in a long time. Pretty certain there are other releases along with Three Chords that I have missed since Keep It Simple. I'll try to remember to check out Three Chords on Tidal tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion. Van's output is amazing and while the critics haven't liked it all - for me, I could probably listen to him sing the phone book and be happy. |
Van Morrison - Moondance Haven’t listened to this in ages. Sounds as good as when first heard on FM 50 years ago. Timeless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW2TfQsSA7Q |
