  Gary Moore's Still Got the Blues 

The band is Marillion. They have quite the discography. Some of their music reminds me of early Genesis. Some cuts I like are:

From- Script for a Jester's Tear..."He knows you know".
From- Fugazi..."She Chameleon".
From- Seasons end..."Easter".
Fromm- Marbles..."Don't hurt yourself".

N

Joan Osborne - "Relish"
One of THOSE albums without a single bad cut. 
"Right Hand Man" alone is worth the investment. 

Lucinda Williams & Kevin Gordon - "Down To The Well"
A track culled from a festival collection. A killer cut lyrically and sonically - the guitar sounds as though they're in my living room.  A great effen duet as well. Lazy, kind of somber, not to mention a simple well recorded piece I use when I audition equipment sometimes. 

BeBop Deluxe - "Live In The Air Age"
This stands heads above the band's studio recordings which all sound as flat as the horizon to me. Check out the guitar solo in "Adventures In A Yorkshire Landscape", the lower register feedback washes over the run enveloping the air in the venue.  Amazing. Overlooked, under appreciated, this is a gem of a live album. 

Little Feat - "Waiting For Columbus"
Crank it up to 11 and let it fly.  Talk about artists taken from us too soon?  I STILL miss Lowell George. And if any of you haven't heard his daughter Inara's version of "Trouble" you need to do so - just beautiful. 

Chris Whitley - "Dirt Floor"
Another early departed artist whom I got into only months before his death. After hearing a couple of cuts from him on WFUV here I went out and bought his entire catalogue.  "How the hell did I not know about this guy?" I thought. 
Well, radio more or less stinks these days, that's how.  Nonetheless, this is seriously good stuff. His daughter's stuff is pretty damn good as well.  She has a new one out. 

Dave Brubeck - "Live At Carnegie Hall"
This needs to be played LOUDLY.  After that, it's insanely amazing stuff.  Wow.

This am waiting for Time Warned Cable to arrive I'm listening to more Joanne Shaw Taylor. Cd- "Diamonds in the dirt".

N

Donavan- song " Hurdy gurdy man". 

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

Just to name a few of my favorite above
I need to get more Glen Hughes now
 I'm listening to.  Johnny Winter Live. While writing this

R

Currently touring with the legendary blues man Glenn Hughes is Joanne Shaw Taylor. Check her out on the song "Time has come". I really like her style.

radfrad,
Listening to Trower again. Man. Bridge of sighs is 40 years old. I guess one thing I like is how "BIg" his guitar sounds. Deliberate. Confident in his ability. 

Also listened to-
Van Halen, Balance 
Crosby, Stills and Nash, CSN

N

radfrad, 
Glad you still enjoying Glenn Hughes and his vast contribution to the music community. Mr Hughes is getting on in years as well. I found Glenn Hughes radio on my (Sprint)Galaxy S6 phone!

Regarding Trower, he's old school for sure. And he's 71 years old. Still one of my favorites. You cannot deny that he has a unique sound. Thats what draws me in. I've not seen him live. Friends have seen him, in the same type of setting. However Davey Pattison was on board to lend some showmanship. I'm told he sounded fantastic ten and I'm glad you had a chance to go. 

So far today I've listened to Manfred Mann's Earth band, Angel Station (1979).
And I pulled his cover of Springsteens, "Blinded by the light". Much better than the Boss' original, in my opinion. 

N

Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense!" My favorite live album of them!

Hi Nutty - Thanks for posting over on the minority report thread.  Turns out I had just come across LA Blues Authority today.  Listened to track 1 but did not get much further in that recording.  Have it saved in Spotify for a future listen.

By the way, saw Robin Trower this week.  It was an OK show.  A small venue with decent sound.  A couple hundred people at most.  He played from around 9 to 10:30 or so.  Love his guitar tone…it sounded as good as on the albums.  He’s no shredder but he does have a trademark style and sound. There’s an economy and good musical sensibility at work when he plays.  I call him Mr. Riffs R Us though I did find myself getting a little bored at points during some of the pieces with longer instrumental breaks.  He played a fair amount from Bridge of Sighs.  But since I don't know his latest stuff or his broader discography all that well, can't tell you much more about what he covered.  Did recognize "For Earth Below" as the final piece of his encore.  Two much younger guys with him on bass and drums.  Bass player doing most of the vocals.  Robin did a few but more a sort of "talking lyric".  You wonder what these guys think backing him…he’s been around so long and seen so much. What do they find to talk about on the bus? (assuming they travel together).  Skinny, little old white dude now but one thing I liked to see is he still seemed to enjoy playing.  Small crowd there loved him.  I think he felt that.      

   

AC#DC, High Voltage.
Stevie Ray Vaughan, Couldn't stand the weather.
Wow. What can you say about Stevie Ray? Any SRV fans in the house?

Yep, The Firm is essential 80's listening!

Tony Franklin played bass for the Firm when I saw them. White 80's rock hair. 
Fretless bass. He's got hystory.

N


 

I saw the Firm also   back in early 80's
It was great   but I remember the Bass Player  had a big white afro
and to this day I have never heard a better bass on my system or in concert
Dont recall his name with out a little research.
Awesome world shaking bass  not excessivly loud but loud enough

R

Kenny Barron Trio

I've got Richard Thompson's live "Two Lettr Words" spinning right now. It's just not fair the one guy can both write those incredible songs and play guitar like that.  

I saw the Firm in Cincinnati when they toured promoting their first albumn. It was the only time I've been able to see Jimmy Page and/or Paul Rodgers live. Jimmy did play Kashmir! and other Zep and Bad Co. songs. I have photos of the show. Actual photos from back in the day when we used film. 

Today- 
Aerosmith, "Rocks" and "Get your wings". Love early Aerosmith. They were my first concert. REO Speedwagon was the opening act.
