BTW, the Robin Trower concert a couple of weeks ago was very good. The old boy can still play and loves performing.  Solid back-up - it was fun to hear a real power trio again. Great venue, great show.

radfrad, 

I'm glad you are into Black Country Communion. It's a solid line-up.  If you like Glenn Hughes, listen to his solo albumn "The way it is". 

The RUSH A B C 1974 is very good. But I only listened to a download on Headphones. I should invest. RUSH was great each time I saw them. IMHO they were better when they/I was younger. The vocals were stronger when Geddy was younger. Then Geddy began playing the bass and keyboards simultaneously on the newer music. The stage productions were enhanced also. Drum solo's were the best, of course. 

Today- The Doobie Brothers,  Toulouse Street. What better way to start the day. "Jesus is just alright by me". I also want to dig out the Guess Who you listed. Been a while since I've listened to that. 

jafant,

I'm not familiar with Vivaldi. Perhaps its time to expand my horizons.  I'll take some time to listen to a bit of your selection as well. 

Thanks for posting !

        This is not a live version.   But I have a Live CD
         I prefer the live version.   Mostly same sings
Rush ABC 1974.   Lp
  

Nuttty.  It clearly counts if you have seen Rush 4  times live.    A clear case of
"moral Superiority".  I have never seen them.   And as I was well aware of them in the late 70,s.  Only really just been really listening to them the last 2 years,
quite enjoyable.  Rush ABC 1974. Is live and their early sounding
It also has a great Bass presence.   A must for any Rush Band fan

Now playing.    Deep Purple.    Made in Euorpe. Lp
    my favorite. Is the Hughes /Blackmore.   Era

facten, 

I tracked down Who's that Lady. It's been so long since I've heard that song,(or anything else from The Isley Brothers). It's great.  I didn't run the counter but that amazing guitar solo at the end has to be 3 + minutes! Im glad you posted it. 

N

Dire Straits,  On every street. CD.

N

Dixie Dregs, Freefall. I was lucky enough to see the Dregs with Steve Morse at the Madison Theater in 2005. arcam88 and I attended the show together. 

Bulletboys, Freakshow. 80's Rock hair band. Memorable cuts are "Hang on St. Christopher", "THC groove" and "Talk to your  daughter". (3 stars on this dics) I would describe The Bulletboys in these terms. If Van Halen all had sons and they grew up and formed a band,,,, it would be The Bulletboys. 

Days of the New, self titled 1997 CD. Four piece rock band. No electric lead guitars, are used except for the bass, all accoustic. Sample link below if your not familiar.

This morning I dusted off my copy of self titled Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies.
Their first albumn is solid and recorded very well. Great guitar and voclas on this one. Southern rock flavor on this effort. Here is a link side one, track one but the entire disc is good.

https://youtu.be/mhK4rIC5HuI

N

Isleey Brothers - Who's That Lady (love the guitar work)

Fleetwood Mac, Then Play On.

N

Listened to the band TKO, "Let it roll".
My copy was recorded from LP to CD so I got to enjoy all of the pops and cracks from my youth. I like the vocalist on this one. He reminds me of Roger Daltrey. 

On to Mother Love Bone, "Apple".
Seattle band who's lead singers death inspired Pearl Jam and Soundgarden to form Temple of the dog. 


N

Amen!

N - Morning Phase is a beautiful album.  Sea Change is very good too.  These 2 are often seen as sort of complementing one another - but you probably already know that.   I don't own anything else by Beck but these two.  From what I've sampled and read, I believe they are kind of unique in his discography.  In my O-pinion, they are "brilliant" (to borrow that overused Brit adjective).  If you know anything else he's done that is in a similar vein, let me know.


Did listen to Healing Colors by Spock's Beard this AM.  It's a complex and sprawling composition.  Great musicianship but (no offense) it just doesn't do it for me...I don't come away thinking, "I have to listen to that again!"  Sorry.  Am not passing judgement on the merit's of SB - just reporting my response.  Glad you enjoy and admire them. 

To misquote Bogie, "We'll always have Glenn Hughes."

Beck, Morning Phase.

Johnny Lang

A few oldie tunes

Billy Stewart - Sitting in the Park
Dion - Run Around Sue
Beach Boys - Warmth of the Sun
Rufus & Chaka Khan - Ain't Nobody

Hey nutty - a couple of things. I appreciate the ongoing dialog here. On too many A’gon threads, it’s like people posting are just talking to themselves. No responses. No interaction. Like hollering down a well.

Glad you checked out that Zappa showcasing Sugar Cane. If you liked Keyzop, Sugar Cane’s Got The Blues would also please you, I think.

I’m not a huge Patricia Barber fan but the 2 CDs of hers I own are very well recorded. Great sound quality and some interesting music too. Good "side men" accompanying her. The 2 are: Cafe Blue & Modern Cool.

That YouTube link from falconquest is a bit of a revelation to me. Had no idea she was that good on piano. That performance is quite a bit different than the rather concise, more conventional song structures on the 2 CDs I own. The CDs focus on voice more than instrumental jazz solos. OK. Later.

PS - nutty - just saw your Spock's Beard "Healing Colors" link...have the Patricia Barber playing but will try that SB recommendation later.  

The Who, Who's Next. Quite possibly one of the best albumn covers by one of the 
Greatest band of all time. 

N

ghost, 

Finally finished the Zappa you posted about. What else can be said about Zappa and the talent he attraced. He was a genius. It's not what I normally gravitate towards musically. Now on to Sugarcane. I replayed Keyzop, that is more my speed. 

Thanks for the enlightenment!

N

falconquest, 

I watched your Patricia Barber link for a again time. She sounds wonderful and a great recording, (for youtu.be). I don't have any of Patricia on CD but I do have a few Diana Krall. Female voices can reveal flaws in ones hi fi. Thanks for the recommendation. 

N

Spocks Beard, Day for night. 

Spocks Beard as you know is progressive rock. The band has evolved several times over the years. IMHO, each albumn was different and great in its own way. Some of their songs are like small journeys. They wind you through different melodies and movements. 

I think the one of the best songs that demonstrates their talent and to take you on one of Neal Morse's journey is "The Healing Colors Of Sound". 

(ghosthouse, if your out there try this last one before you make your final judgment)

California Breed, Glenn Hughes, Andrew Watt, Jason Bonham.

RUSH

radfrad, 

I'll check out Rush for sure. Keep digging around on Glenn. He is everywhere, I mean everywhere. I even found holiday music! If your into Gov't Mule, he has a song on their "Shout" CD, and he did an entire LA blues Authority albumn also.

N

Because of this thread   I started critically listening to Glen Hughes as an individual contributer to the bands he has played.
And  newly added Black Country Communion to my collection.


That Rush ABC came to my door Lp with Black Country Communion Lp    Yesterday     Look into Rush ABC  it is    Very Very good   and Very Very well recorded   and live

R

radfrad, 

Great set list. I saw an interview with Glenn Hughes where he stated that after "he will never be in another band" after Black Country Communion". "It was so special and unique". Thanks for pointing out his skills on the bass guitar. We often overlook it because of his outstanding vocals. 

Also,  I've never heard that particular Rush albumn you listed. I have a lot of Rush media, but not that one. I need to check it out. Does it count that I've seen them 4 times live! True story.

N

Black Country Communion 2.     Lp
        That's some awesome bass. Glen Hughes

Autumn leaves (wrong time of the year for this) but it's always good. Go to 20:45 to start. ......and then go back and listen to the rest!

@falconquest - thanks for the reminder about Phoebe Snow.  I remember when Poetry Man was getting a lot of air play.  That s/t album had great sonics too.  Pulled up Second Childhood on Spotify.  I always liked "All Over"...Nine of diamonds, nice of diamonds, Lord that's a lucky card.

Speaking of nines...track 9 "Pre-dawn Imagination" has a gorgeous melody.  Great change up after Beth Hart.  

ghosthouse, 

Regarding Beth Hart, I'm a big Bonamossa fan, however I might like Beth more on her solo efforts more then on the collaborative. Her CD's are great. BTW, She has a "very aggressive" version of Humble Pie's "I don't need no Dr." On YouTube. Also some performances with Gov't Mule and Jeff Beck.
