I went to RSD @ my local record store "Lost & Found Records) here in Knoxville, TN. They normally open @ 11AM , but opened at 10AM for this. I had never been to any RSD , so I got there about 5min before 1AM. HA. 50 people in line in front of me. I had called them on Friday and the guy that works there( not The Owner) told me that they would have plenty of copies of most everything. Boy was he wrong. I got : Bill Evans - Behind The Dikes - The 1969 Netherlands Recordings . War- The Vinyl: 1971-1975 Rolling Stones- Hot Rocks (50th Anniversary Edition) Ordered Online: below DR. JOHN, THE NIGHT TRIPPER--The Sun, Moon & Herbs Deluxe 50th Anniversary Edition . |
@grey9hound That Dr. John album sounds like it will be really cool. I saw Dr. John at the Anaheim Convention Center Arena in 1970. He was the opening act for the lead act, Leon Russell. Now this is where it gets better. We actually went to see all 3 acts, with an emphasis on the middle act. That middle act was Elton John. Yes, Elton John as he was just beginning to rise in fame. What a memorable night. |

I had tickets to see Elton John here in Knoxville, but it was canceled due to Covid . It is rescheduled for APR 8TH 2022, but I got a refund instead. I was so mad the day that I bought the tickets,. I went to the website to get them, picked them out . they were on the floor about 16 rows from the stage in the center. I went to complete my purchase , it asked me to login, and I could not login. It kept saying wrong password . I clicked on the link to reset password and found out that I used my work email when I registered, several years prior. It was sending me an email to reset my password to my work email, which I could not access from home. Work is 21miles from Home. I tried to setup as a new user . It kept saying we already have a user with that name and address, so I used the wife’s name , but before I could get this all setup ,THE HOLD on the Tickets Expired!!!!!!!!!! ARG!!! When I was finally able to get logged in the only thing available was upper balcony. I bought them anyway, BUT was Totally PISSED about the whole ORDEAL !!! My own stupid fault |
@mammouthguy54 Talk about somebody sounding like they’re playing several guitars. listen to this guy.. Charlie Hunter. He plays the baseline as well as the rhythm and lead along with the other stuff he’s playing on the same guitar Charlie Hunter and Carter Mcclain. Carter McClain’s one hell of a drummer too https://youtu.be/l7gpXUp2J_0 |
@mammothguy54 Michael Hedges "Watching My Life Go By" Promo copy, all analog recording and mixing, excellent SQ. Outstanding, eclectic acoustic guitar style. He can make a guitar sound like 3 instruments, at the same time. How sad, he died in a solo car crash in 1997. Rain soaked road and skidded off, down a cliff. I guess his album title says a lot. Joel, a long time ago in the 1970’s I used to really be into Windham Hill artists including Hedges, Ackerman, De Grassi, et. al. There were also some other similar players I was digging on different labels: Scott Cosu (sp?) and Eric Tingstadt (sp?) come to mind. I think I had my own “post rock” mindset going on at the time. Anyway, later I got more into what are probably a generation of guitar players in a similar tradition (who were likely influenced by those early windham hill dudes but took guitar playing to new un-dreamt of places), Billy McLaughlin (try “The Archery of Guitar”), Don Ross (try “Three Hands” or anything really), Andy McKee, Antoine Dufour (protege of Ross), et. al. Do you know them? |
James, No, I don't know of those artists/musicians. Admittedly, I am a bit slow getting acquainted with new material. I have been exposed to some new ones via this very good thread, which I am grateful for. I will look into those cited above. High quality SQ makes the music that much better. If Windham Hill is consistent with SQ on their other records too, then I need to get more of them. And these recommended artists/musicians sound like very good options to explore. Thank you for that. |
@Mammothguy54, great! These guys mostly came up in the digital era unfortunately but I know you can get some don ross and billy McLaughlin on vinyl. I suppose for me with this genre I’ll admit that it’s been more about the combination of exceptional technique and appealing musicality (musicianship and composition) than strictly audiophile considerations. As I revisit these records I’ll make better notes about SQ and pass them back as appropriate. Good listening! |
Re: Michael Hedges My musician brother who shares a love of finger style guitar with me reminded me about the cool story of how Alex Degrassi took william Ackerman to see Michael hedges in Seattle. Ackerman was totally awestruck and so blown away that hedges could be so technical and musical at the same time… Ackerman wrote out a contract on a napkin and that’s how hedges was signed to Windham Hill. |
@boxer12, Hey Tim, How’zit goin’? Have you heard this band, Black Midi? Had a lengthy chat with my regular letter carrier, who sometimes asks about what’s in all the vinyl in brown cardboard he has to schlep to my door. Comparing our respective favorites, we came to agreement on King Crimson, which led him to light up with a recommendation about a newer band Black Midi. Put me in mind of cross between King Crimson and that band you and Brian were playing the other day, Pere Ubu (sp?). Just wondering if you know their stuff? |
Welcome @almosthome Hang around, you will find this thread a lot of fun and zero of the snide remarks like on far too many of the other threads. Nice people only, on this one. @dayglow Good luck on the move. I hated it when I had to make the move into my current house, though that was 32 years ago. I bought it when it was being built and had to move stuff accumulated for 10 years in my previous house. I dread the day if ever I need to move again. Can you imagine, all the stuff that gets placed into every nook and cranny over 32 years... My guess is that your are not imagining, bur are realizing that reality about now. Good luck, don't hurt yourself. |
