Whats playing on your system today?

I have all related Trower BLT stuff
Trower is touring east half of USA now. And west side of USA in 2017.  Has a new CD that he is running with and Album. Yes Album [vinyl]. You can preorder it
at Amazon

Just finished a listen of
Johnny Winter. Live Bootleg Series
The albino brothers.
along with Rick Derranger

I'm a big Robin Trower fan. And I have picked up quite a bit of old vinyl of his over the years surprisingly great shape
 Saw  him Last fall. Funny but I rocked out w him on my system
last Saturday few hour listen including Robin Trower,Humble Pie
,Hindrix,Janis Joplin, Cream,Yes, among others.  I'm just a rocker

I thought I may be alone  when it came to Trower
,most never heard of him. Maybe I'm just old
Trower Tours USA every other year for 10 years at least.
His sound is spot on with all his old music today.  His band sounds slightly different do to different. Bass & Singers. But always great show
Great Thread nutty
Im gonna go listen to him now.  Just at low volume so family can sleep. He even sounds good at low volume. At least to me anyway

I will look into Rory

It's is a Black cover. Just says Rory Gallagher
and Stage Struck. Both LP.            From soundstage direct 
Also preordered Robin Trower. . "Where are you going".  LP.  On Amazon

Start with these and look foreword to a good listen

My system is KRELL 450mcx  mono amps ,KCT  preamp ,KPS 28 cd
all cast.   PBN Grovemaster TT built by Peter.   B&W sub and B&W 803 not diamonds.  I enjoy the sound at med to low listening levels, just personal taste.
interconnects are Valhalla  and  Shunyata power conditioning. Two dedicated 20 amp circuits.  The ONE bi wire speaker connects
Weak link I think are the speakers.  15 yrs of equipment acquisition

I also like to listen to
Paul Rogers.  -Bad Co.  Free.   He plays w Queen also
Humble Pie
The Guess Who
How about.   Alvin Lee. 10 Years After. 
Alvin Lee. 10 Years Later. (Live)
like Allman Brothere also
I think there is just a lot of good artists out there
 all seemingly dated for my taste

I do not listen to anything considered new artists

happy listening

R

I got some Rory on the way
I am trying to figure out how I never heard of the guy

Good call
I'm a UFo fan.      UFO1. Is a great ban
Only within the past few years do I listen to RUSH now
Listen to. Bluestravelers also
Was  not a fan Rod Stewart until I saw him once over 25 years ago. He put on such a good show at that time I have been listening to him on & off for years since.    
R

Playing on my system Today

Gamma 2.    CD



R

I will look into Triumph
Lots of good recommendations here of new to me
Bluestravler. (LiveFrom The Fall). I have it on CD.   Has some great
guitar and great harmonica on almost every track.  Just jams,at least to me anyway. . Vinyl however is my preferred media

R

Interesting fact I just found at. Deep-Purple.net
After the group reformed in 1984 and 1985 US tour "Smoke on the Water" was their signature  must play song, it was the years biggest grossing tour and claims 
Smoke on the Water   to be the second most recognized song in the USA behind the National Anthem. I graduated High School in 1979
l do remember it being a well played song on the radio.  But also
I Remember "Stairway to Heaven" right up there around that time

About that time 1979 Van Halen w David lee Roth is popular
and I appreciate this music now seemingly more than back in the day

R

Let's not forget Richie Blackmore

Just finished listening to a great album. at least to me anyway. 
DP 
Stormbringer
Glen Hughes
Jon Lord
Ian Paice
Richie Blackmore

R

R

Alvin Lee
Last night listen to   at low levels (so not to wake family)
loved every minitute

Stonedhedge   1969     LP
RocketFuel      1978     CD

R

Ghost house- "Gypsy Woman" is not on this LP.  But boy does this recording
come across as some of the best sounding  recording among my entire collection.
Maybe  350 LP and 200 CD.  My LP collection I purchased back in late 70's and into 80's.  Then I got into Cd cuz that was the rage.  80's 90's.  A lot are duplicate CD LP. Same artists.  I now buy more LP as a first choice now
Collection is nearly all classic Rock & Roll

R

So far tonight

R

Just finished Robin Trower newest release
"Where you are going to". LP
Quite good. Clearly more of a rocker than a lot of his previous releases
Recorded well sounding.  Robin does the vocals and the usual awesome guitar
signiture sound

Now for a critical  re-listen
Amazon has limited avaibility on LP


R

  It is worth seeing him.  I have seen RT 4 time at the Fillmore West,
last was Sept 2015.  He has been touring here, and the USA every other year for 10 years.or more   He sounds just like his 70 Live albums spot on . Fillmore is festival standing small venue, easily you can stand 4 rows from stage.  He usually plays 2 songs from newest album  then goes into his most classic stuff. Usually plays only at small venue
 Like clock work he starts right at 8:30  and is finished exactly at 10:30.
does one oncore set and always finishes with his most Blues song
His latest album fits right in with his earliest stuff  ,Awesome , I played it 4 times last night.
 Remember Nutty  YOU started this as a RT- Montrose  Guitar Hero
thread, I cant agree more  My System is still on Solid State HOT
Stand By Mode

R

Yes
I am lucky enough to have Trower LP and CD collection and a decent playback system.   I like to reference the same album. Say Bridge of Sighs ,compare the tune between the LP.  CD. An coarse of seeing him live
I like the way    RT guitar jumps out at me. Out of my system sounding like the 
real show.      I guess a signature sound unique to him
In watching him live. His guitar is an extension of his music mind and visible by his expression on his face.  
My take anyway

Other guitar heroes do that.   
  Johnny winter
   Rory Gallagher.  (New addition to my collections)
   Alvin Lee
   Montrose
   Hendrix
    Stevie R

contribute .  Seems a lot of similar taste here

Hope you enjoy the show
