Tom, looks like Delvon Lamarr has played the Jack London venue here in Portland. It’s a pretty good room. I get their newsletter (mostly depressing over the last couple of years) but will watch for him as they open up.
Last night Grey’s Anatomy and I had a date night out! Small Jazz joint off Mississippi Avenue here. The band wasn’t the greatest but so nice to be out again hearing music.

Will check out Delvon. Plaid Room, yeah! Just ordered a title I’d been missing from them this week. Some other stores have added the feature too but I like how you can ask them for immediate notice when they get something in from back order/on restock. I agree that they do a great job. |

This is one of those albums. Breathtakingly beautiful music and exceptionally great Sonics. |

Steve is in touch with Kevin I know.
+1 on Montrose
+ 1 on Rough Mix
+ 1 on all you guys. |
@moto_man That MSB is a nice DAC. Do you know if they make turntables….? |
Greg, seen Pat many times, including his last show a couple of years ago at Revolution Hall. He’s going to be there again Tuesday. Really jazzed for it. |
@big_greg,
Live music last night - Pat Metheny, five rows back, center stage, first date of his tour. He was in fine form and put on a great show. His drummer in particular was outstanding.
My brother and I have tickets (6th row center) to see the show in Portland next Tuesday. Same medium sized venue (former small and ancient high school auditorium) as the last tour. Never have so looked forward to seeing a show. |
Anyone have experience with ordering records from Hong Kong? |
@bkeske Fantastic to hear again, and sounds better than I've ever heard before.
I love it when that happens. You have a great stereo. |

@bkeske, Sir Adrian Boult Conducts String Music Of Vaughan Williams - Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis / Concerto Grosso / Partita For Double String Orchestra. London Philharmonic Orchestra. Angel 1976 I have this record and I love it. Probably more than I should. |
Steve, I always believed Trower was quite often channeling Hendrix.
+1 on “Long Misty Days” absolutely my 3rd favorite Trower record. |

“Trouble” oh so good
I haven’t played this record for a long time (I also have it on cassette which gets more attention) and never on this gear. It’s a really good sounding record. |
Hey Steve, Yeah I scored a mint pair of Quad ESL 63 on a trip to Seattle this last week. They are hooked up in an alternate system in my basement. Although I need to get another amp that will work better with them, records are already sounding really interesting and fun just using a (decent) Yamaha integrated.
The Clarity and Air and sound stage architecture made by the Quads are all really smile inducing.
Although tonight I’m back listening to my main rig (corner horns) w Grey’s Anatomy. |

@boxer12, +1 on Camel. Great selections exhibiting your excellent taste sir. |
@tomic601 , @boxer12, That golf ball TT by WTL- a good platform for a moving iron cartridge? What a friend has and inspired my current moves to improve my stereo over the last 5 years or so. His sounded/ sounds pretty great. |
|
@bkeske, Bruckner has never clicked with me yet, but I keep trying. Waiting for the light bulb to turn on….if ever. Try No. 7, or just the adagio from No. 7 and let yourself float away on it. It’s almost psychedelic and definitely spiritual. Not really anything like traditional melody in it so think of it like something modern and not like Brahms. |

Apologize to you guys if I’ve posted too much here. I’m traveling and just catching up on the thread, missing my turntable, buying new speakers…. |
@blue_magoo, welcome to the thread. Keep ‘em coming! |
@rvpiano, +1 & great to see you back on the thread. Sheffield D2D Prokofiev “Romeo and Juliet” ballet highlights.
Erich Leinsdorf, Conductor.
sonically amazing.
Has to be heard to be believed I have that record and I agree. |
Feist - Metals You’ve been streaming a bunch of my favorites in a row Jim. Best thoughts for you and recovery today; onward upward and out of the chair. |
John Mayall "John Mayall & Friends" And what friends they are on this album. Peter Green, Gary Moore, Mick Fleetwood, Mick Taylor, Billy F Gibbons, Steve Miller, John McVie, and several others. These cuts were made in 2001 and the album (at least in vinyl) was released last year. Unless I am mistaken, I know that I was on the waiting list for several months. This pressing is made in Germany and the vinyl is very quiet, the plating/pressing is excellent, and the overall SQ is about as good as it gets without having to pay for 1-Step, IMHO. +1 Joel, this is exactly where it’s at. |
I n every case, especially with my vinyl rig now, LP’s just sound ‘right’; More natural, with better timbre and tone.
I won’t replace them all, but the more important ones? Yes, when I can or if they are available. Feel the same way. |
i woke up to a text from Popmarket…. my vinyl life us now complete….. Monkees Greatest Hits? |
A friend gave me a box of records last night. On initial first look I thought they might all be heading to the garbage can but so far the first one I played seems to be in decent shape, other than that it needed a real good cleaning first Cool |
“Ry Cooder – Chicken Skin Music (Reprise 1976)” A treasure. |

Streaming Secrets of the Beehive. Was never on the same page as bands like Japan but this guys solo work (totally unknown to me) seems really nice. This record features Ryuichi Sakamoto, who I’ve become very interested lately. Wow, thanks Brian for posting this record. Really fine album. |
