Whats playing on your system today?


Today I decided to listen to two of my favorite rock guitar heros and one great vocalist. Guitarist' Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose and vocalist Davey Pattison.

I listened to Trower songs:
Bridge of sighs, Stitch in time, The fool and me, my personal favorite- Too rolling stoned and others.....

Then I pulled out "Gamma". 
I listened to: Razor King, Wish I was and Skin and bone and others.....

Davey Pattison hooked has also up with Michael Shenker also. I really enjoyed my day so far. Anybody else heard anything good?

George Lynch, Sacred groove.....one of my guitar hero's. 
George is fantastic on this one. Also included are vocals from Mathew and Gunner Nelson and one track featuring the great Glenn Hughes. I like the last track best.
"Tierra Del Fuego".

mapman, Big Uriah Heep fan! 

 I received a set of loaner Clear Day Double Shotgun's and two wire Jumpers from Paul yesterday. I have about 10 hours of listening on them now. I had two full runs of Audioquest Gibralter w/dbs as a true biwire set up. 
So far the Clear Day'are not disappointing! I wanted three wire jumpers, but the twin lead was all he had available for loan. The first thing I noticed on The Eagles Hell Freezes Over CD is the audience sounds more lifelike than with the AQ. Next, the hi-hat was crisper and the snare drum is a bit hotter. Nice. Joe Walsh and Timothy B Schmit's silibant's are right on point.
On Ann Bisson, I live in the Treetops, her vocals are amazing with the dead quiet balanced Ayre CX7emp, Classe' CP-60 with the outboard power supply and the Dual mono Levinson.
On Incubus, Morning View,,,,this CD has bass in spades! Very nimble, fast very tight with the Totem Hawks with their amazing long throw woofer. Better control and weight over the AQ Gibralter. No bloat or overhang. The disc also has a DJ that provides tons of additional sound effects. They are all heard through the Clear Day Cables. Hand claps sound more natural also. 
So far the Clear Day Cables appear to perform very well, at least in my system, room etc.

oleschool,

Kerry Livgren, Seeds of change is a solo project. It is a great listen. Full of great contributing artists. The albumn was recorded very well, the CD is good. 
Kerry actually even sings on one this (and I believe his wife did some backing vocals?)
Steve Walsh sings on a cut.
Ronnie James Dio sings on two.
Violins from Robbie Steinhardt of Kansas.
Drums by Phil Ehart  and Tull druumer Barrimore Barlow.
Vocalist David Pack of Ambrosia.

Im a fan of Jethro Tull, "A little light music". A collection of Live semi accoustic songs recorded from a 1999 European tour. Live music recorded well.

N
The Very Best of Deep Purple, CD. 
Incubus, Make Yourself, CD. Great recording.

I spun my Glenn Hughes, The way it is. First time listening with the loaner set of Paul’s Clear Day Double Shotgun’s. Wow!

radfrad, Marc Bonilla is the guitarist on the recording. Worked with ELP, Montrose, David Coverdale. However, when you search Hughes’ discography, you’ll find he has played with just about every guitar hero out there.

N

Phenomena, S/T. This has Glen Hughes and a whole stack of other talent. A little different sound on this one. Link below is for song title "Dance with the devil".

I'm currently burning in a second set of Clear Day Double Shotgun's. Running a true biwire configuration. Not sure if I like the Double/Doubles or the Jumper configuration better?  Both are sweet.

N
Gov't Mule, Shout, CD.

As you know, this one has several guest appearances. Glenn Hughes, Ben Harper, Elvis Costello, Dr.John, Grace Potter, Steve Winwood.....

Perhaps this post should be in the "Misc" forum but her goes. I wanted to let you all know that thanks to arcam88, I am currently reading:
"Glenn Hughes, The Autobiography, From Deep Purple To Black Country Communion".

It is a very self depreciating story and Glenn leaves nothing to the imagination. I mean nothing. Some great pictures, even one with Glenn on the back of Tommy Bolin in Glenn’s pool! Quote "I love this pic, as I loved this boy". I don’t want to spoil it for you but there is even a story about Linda Blair....

Budgie was a major influence of Dave Mustaine's.

reubent,

Yeah, I'm in Cincinnat. arcam88 and I grew up together. Been to a few concerts together also. Queen was probably the most memorable. I agree, Budgie punches way above their weight class. Thanks for the offer on the CD's. I'll keep it in mind.


Robin Trower, Take what you need, CD.

ghosthouse,

Great post, thanks for the links. Like you, I am not big fan of Miller. But he has some great hits that will live on. I recently played his greatest hits out by the pool with friends. His groove is refreshing every now and then. 

Today I  listened to Wishbone Ash, Just Testing.... I found a great link of them performing "Living Proof".

jafant,

Not a big GNR fan but Slash ranks high on my guitar hero list.
