Whats on your turntable tonight?

Cowboy 🤠 Bebop

1. Royal Ballet Chad edition. Yes, this is one you want.

2. Kna conducting the Vienna Philharmonic in Wagner.

Gotterdammerung Dawn and Siegfried’s Rhine Journey. Siegfried’s Funeral Music.

Tristan Prelude and Liebestod.

Decca Japan GT 9088.

First time hearing a record reproduce the Viennese.

* Same bleeding chunks as on Sheffield’s direct to disk with Leinsdorf and the LA Phil that was the go to demo disk in the last century.

** Birgit Nilsson soprano.

 

There they are in their home stadium The Golden Hall, Vienna.

These records leave spectacular so far behind in the rear view mirror and make the quantum leap into the realm of pure music. Bravo Decca!

John McLaughlin makes Jimi Hendrix bupkus.

Change my mind.

 

Jimi is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very excellent.

McLaughlin is sublime.

*** Musically speaking. ***  Enjoy both fer sure.

Goldfinger in TT5 with an Innovation on a Panzer stand. Yeah it struck me as a dubious marketing move on the part of Clearaudio.

Countdown

Harking back to the original post, all the concerts from the Allman Brothers at the Fillmore East is on Blu Ray audio. The double album we all know and love is but a selection from a three night stand.

March 12, 1971 - two shows.
March 13, 1971 - two shows.
June 27, 1971 - one show.

The sound quality is amazing. As is the music.

Before the Flood. Nobel Laureate Bob and The Band live. The version of Blowin' in the Wind is the heaviest track evah. Heavy metal eat yr hearts out.
