Whats on your turntable tonight?


For me its the first or very early LP's of:
Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South"
Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue
Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer"
and,
Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
slipknot1
The first song on II has an upbeat hook that might have caught you.  But I don’t think there is any guitar work even close to what’s on the first album.  

Shawn Colvin could read a typewriter repair manual in Yiddish and I would race to buy it...
Rick Derringer
All American Boy

...I feel all this will inevitably lead to Montrose 1....
Have to say that if your in a sort of juvenile mood like myself and want to rattle your brain with some early hard rock that first Sir Lord Baltimore record (“Kingdom Come”) is quite effective.  
Will check out Hanoi Rocks pretty sure I’ve never had the nerve....

assume you’re kidding, I mean all that hair....
Uber I had the good luck to see UFO when they were in their prime with Schenker and Pete Way. Awesome show. 
Greg
Fortunately he took Way with him to form MSG.
It was just Barden was real letdown.

Would have loved to have seen ufo themselves.
MSG was good too. I saw UFO twice, once with Schenker and Way, once without. One show was quite a bit less awesome than the other. 

On another note (no pun intended), the Pass phono stage is working out really nice. I have one of my least best carts on the SL 1200 MK2, the Shure V15 Type IV with JICO SAS, and Dylan and the Band sound great. I could never get that cart to sing before. 
It’s A Beautiful Day ‎- Marrying Maiden (CBS 1970)

I bought this in the 80s and never played it because I suspected it would be crap. Or it was crap. I can’t remember. So this was the reckoning. And I don’t recognize any of it. Not bad at all. Worth the effort.
Billy Joel ‎- The Nylon Curtain (Columbia ‎1982)

Bought it when it came out. Mint original until I opened the seal tonight.

Bert Jansch ‎- Heartbreak (Logo 1982)

Can’t beat English folk music. Cobblestones, Morris dancers and sour ale.
Except, side 2 opens with Heartbreak Hotel. Daft.

Gerry Rafferty - City to City,  MFSL. Really quiet and good dynamic range. 
@big_greg  - I just listened to "City to City" a couple nights ago. I've always liked it......
Ramsey Lewis - "Wade in the Water" 1966 Cadet Record LP-774 mono

Swingin'......
Reuben, back in the day it was so overplayed that I got sick of it, but I appreciate it a lot more now. 
Streaming as I am just out of gas....
but wanna hang here w y’all- forgive me

Dan - Two Against Nature
Walter Becker: Circus Money

next up 11 Tracks of Whack 

so sublime
Zoe Muth and the lost highrollers
Eponymous (on the streamer)

another nominee for Best Needs To Be Pressed
Uber - War Dept and I caught Loverboy for Valentine’s Day concert one year - small casino venue, very loud, red leather pants... what a hoot
You guys are bringing back some concert memories...

There was a girl I liked, and she liked Loverboy... so I ended up seeing them with her.  Not one of my favorite shows.  I think Billy Squire opened for them.  

They used to have free concerts at Seattle Center and they had one with Mudhoney and Aldo Nova.  What a weird pairing!  The power went out in the middle of Mudhoney's set.  They just kept playing.  You couldn't hear anything but the drums, but the crowd still loved it.  When Aldo Nova came out, more than half the crowd left.  Which reminds me, I have tickets to see Mudhoney on May 3...
Loverboy is on tour this summer. I only know this because The Tubes are the opening act and I'm on The Tubes mailing list.

No desire to see Loverboy, but I may buy tickets (if the tour is a go for this summer) just to see The Tubes. I hate that they are the opener and likely won't  be allotted enough time to do a full length set.

I probably would not leave before the headline act goes on stage. But if they were not good, I might leave early and beat the rush.....
