Whats playing on your system today?

The "boss"has never rung my bell I am afraid either.

What better way to end the night than

Radio Kaos... Roger Waters

@nutty, not a big fan either but Darkness on the Edge of Town is one I do like. Nebraska is the other one.  Thats about it for me.

Talking back to the night..... Steve Winwood

Freddie Hubbard - Ready for Freddie (MQA)

Grant Green: Sunday Mornin’
Saint-Saens Symphony No.3 (organ) Charles Munch Boston Symphony. Berj Zamkochian, Organist

Just listening to quite an assortment as I put new phono stage through its paces.
Concrete Blonde, wishbone ash, Strawbs,

America "S/T"  (lp)

Crack The Sky,  White Music
Donnie Iris, "Ah! Leah"-- remember that one?
https://youtu.be/GNjqYV2HGWc
Jack Bruce Robin Trower, Seven Moons

N

Alison Krauss & Union Station  "New Favorite" (lp)

Robin Trower - Twice Removed From Yesterday (sonics on this digitally remastered BGO Records release are pretty good).

@slaw - 
Don't know that particular Nesmith album but I do agree with your assessment of him.  He was the real deal.

regarding the Michael Nesmith lp above...

This is my first time listening to it. All of my memories of him were from watching The Monkees  tv show when I was a kid.

Listening to this lp, (by the way, the sonics are pretty remarkable), after my years of musical interests, it's obvious to me that he had quite a bit of talent. These songs are well written, well performed, period. Not shy about listing it here.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd,  Ledbetter Heights

We were just another band out of Boston, on the road and trying to make ends meet!
Professor Tom Scholz!

"...stumbled across Springsteen's, Darkness on the Edge of Town."

I'm sure that reflects something of an age difference, N.  DotEoT was THE Springsteen album for me when it came out.  Greetings, ...E-Street Shuffle, & Born to Run all had their moments, but that one always hit me as something deeper.  He was going through a tough personal/business situation at the time.  Seems like the struggles made the writing better.  Never followed him too much after The River and Tunnel of Love.  

Not a huge fan, but stumbled across Springsteen's, Darkness on the Edge of Town.
One of his best, IMHO. Very raw. 

N

up soon...

Jefferson Airplane "Volunteers"  MFSL/45rpm
Michael Nesmith & The First National Band  "Loose Salute" (lp)

Tracey Chapman day:

Telling Stories
Crossroads

Robert Plant and Allison Krause “Raising Sand"

Ron Carter- All Blues (CTI Records 40th Anniversary Edition)
Still sounds fresher than fresh.

The Incredible Jimmy Smith - Midnight Special (MQA) and Bashin’ The Unpredictable Jimmy Smith absolutely glorious!

Cheers  

dire straits live at the BBC

Too funny as we were talking about the Strawbs.
Just picked this up in our local sally army shop.
The best of Strawbs
Double album for $5 in pretty good shape.

Its a good day.

I read an article on Tommys short tragic life, very sad waste of a great talent and obviously a human life.

Seems nobody was really aware just how bad his addiction was until out on the road with Purple.

Will be checking Spectrum out for sure

uberwaltz, 

Glad to see your enjoying Tommy Bolin! Check out Billy Cobham's Spectrum. Tommy B plays some excellent jazz fusion on that release. 

Rory Gallagher, various tracks 

N

I Am Human.... Escape The Fate.

Brilliant new album of theirs....imho of course.

OK, got the "recently played" LP's put away. Now back to listening to records. I'm starting out the evening with

 Lucinda Williams - "Little Honey"

Streaming Radio Paradise tonight while I file the "recently played" stack of LPs. I'll be back playing records shortly. But Radio Paradise is always a good diversion. 

While we are on a Tommy Bolin kick...

Bang ... James Gang

And as mentioned
Thanks Nutty...

Teaser... Tommy Bolin

80,s hair power

Get Nervous... Pat Benatar

Dream Theater, Falling Into Infinity

Lucifers Friend, Mind Exploding
Pearl Jam, Ten

N

On another Note entirely(sic).

If anybody here ever gets in the vicinity of North Florida you just HAVE to visit Wolfsons records.
He has about 25,000 lps in at any one time and the condition of the vast majority is near mint. Or it gets tossed in the $1 box!
His prices are excellent, very very fair.
For example I bought both private eye and teaser by Tommy bolin there and both were $4 each.
Tbh if u r remotely close it is worth a road trip, just be prepared for an all day visit!

Go Insane... Lindsey Buckingham.

My fave period of Fleetwood Mac was when Lindsey/Stevie joined....I know a lot of others will vehemently disagree...lol.

Next up

10 year Overnight success.... Black Oak Arkansas.

nutty

Play it LOUD!
Happy Listening!

Also glad the Totems are working out for you, always admired them and thought looked very well made but never owned a set.

Sound like they are very musical and not bright if they calmed down Balance for you, enjoy!

Nutty
Masque..... Have to say what's not too like? The mastering could have been a little better for sure, think the rest of my Kansas vinyl is much better sq.

But as for the musical content I give it a big thumbs up!
👍👍👍

uberwaltz,

Regarding Masque, people either love it or hate it. I think its great.

Revisited Van Halen, Balance. On the new Totems its fantastic! The highs were a tad splashy on the old speakers.

Up next, more V/H, 1984 and Fair Warning

N

And a whole sack full of new to me vinyl.
Seeing as Masque by Kansas had a few mentions of late just had to buy it.

So first up Masque..... Kansas

Into the wild life....Halestorm


Off to the LRS next, hopefully some new goodies to spin later.

Steely Dan - "Gaucho"

Finish the night off with
3b.... Third Eye Blind

Keith
Glad mostly Autumn works for you.
Imho, top albums are heart full of sky , the ghost moon orchestra.
Oh and any live album.

Uriah Heep.....got a few here to give them a good listen...lol
One of my fave albums would be The Magicians Birthday

uberwaltz

I can relate to your DLR experience - I went to see Dream Theater about 3 years ago, in a great venue with exceptional acoustics.  We had just seen Bonnie Raitt there and she was glorious as usual.  We actually walked out of the DT concert - it was so loud, so incredibly distorted, it was unlistenable.  Vocals were just *barely* audible, and completely indiscernable.  Really disappointing.  I don't know why they felt the need to mix it like that.

Atomic Rooster "In Hearing Of" spinning now, following Uriah Heep's "Demons and Wizards".

BTW - I checked out some Mostly Autumn; Very nice!  Thanks for the info, I'll have to get some of their albums, any suggestions of top picks?

Nutty

The sq on my tape version of Balance leans the opposite way from bright....lol.
However still a good listen.

Christian McBride, Roy Hargrove - Parker’s Mood. Aww man this is good!

Cheers 

Death Cab for Cutie.   Codes and keys

Wilco.  The Album.   

Jafant, uberwaltz, 

I saw Van Halen with DLR in Cincinnati on the 1984 Tour. Not bad as I recall. But I agree, with Sammy they were on another level. 
Also it's been a while since I've listened to Balance. I recall the disc being a tad bright. Now I have different speakers, I'll give it a quick spin. 

falconquest,

Good to see Masque getting another nod. Kansas is/was a great band. 
Song For America's- "Lonely Street" has got some grit! 

N

Moving right along

No More Tears......Ozzy.

Really well mastered tape!

@jafant 

You are so right about DLR, Remember going to see him live in England and the show was quite a let down, not at all what I expected.

Previously, Supertramp, Crime of the Century on DVD audio. Now, Kansas Masque via redbook CD on the MSB transport.
