First 1984 issue (best DR) Cat Stevens Tea for the Tillerman http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=Cat+Stevens&album=Tea+For+The+Tillerman Cheers George |
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 |
Bill Bruford's Earthworks - The Sound of Surprise Track 5 Half Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDNI4lwWORk Alboran Trio - Meltemi Track 5 Duende https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77kbFQUAaZc |
Michael Brecker - Now You See It (Now You Don't) & Tales From The Hudson... Track 5 - African Skies w/McCoy Tyner piano RIP McCoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCOAvvumyWg |
"Is Nutty going by Woobie as well??" Looks that way...noting the 'N' beneath his post and the fact that I had recently shot him an email after sampling Blind Ego/Liquid that you had posted about. He's a big Dream Theater and Spock's Beard fan so it seemed like it might work for him. I wish Spotify would step up their game. They have a great library. I like their GUI & uncluttered desktop. Most of all, their new music recommendation (Browse/Discover) function works like a charm. Have discovered a lot of new music based on recommendations from Spotify. |
Hello Gents - Good find from uber on Blind Ego on the basis of SQ if nothing more - though I think there is. Looked up the band. It’s the "solo" project of Kalle Wallner (new name to me) from RPWL. RPWL a quasi-Floyd tribute band as per one reviewer. RPWL’s output might be something more to explore. I only listened to the studio version of Liquid. Looks like there is a live version too. Haven’t got to Mirror or Preaching to the Choir yet. The good news for me is I got through the whole of Liquid in one go. Not too much new-to-me-stuff that holds my interest all the way through (and I do regret that). Am interested in re-listening and exploring the other releases as well as KW’s RPWL stuff. Thanks u. Good sounds from the Neal Morse Band on that Man in the Iron Cage video, Nutty. Good message too. Excellent playing (and singing) all around. Not just his singing but what about the guitar solo from that kid. Where does Neal find these guys??? (well, apart from Portnoy). Didn’t know old Neal could rock that hard ;-). |
uberwaltz, ghosthouse, Listening to Blind Ego, Liquid Mirrors. Great production on Liquid. Song on Mirrors has a Pink Floyd vibe. uberwaltz, I'm glad to see your spinning more Spocks Beard! Check out This track from The Neal Morse band. "The Man In The Iron Cage". Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater on drums. Check out the vocals on the kid on the chorus! https://youtu.be/9U7AKNOTeQI N |
