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?

Start the day off with

Illuminations..... Wishbone Ash.

Off to the lrs later, see what new gems I can obtain
Vic Chesnutt  "Drunk"
Bruce Springsteen  "Darkness on the Edge of Town"  WLP
The National  "Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers"  (lp)

Bad Company  "Burn'in Sky"  promo/lp
Any thoughts on the best sounding pressing of "Moonflower"?

I have an original domestic and a WLP... never been bowled over by either.

Love the music though.
Glenn Hughes, "Resonate"

Track 5, Steady...

Love GH's bass work on this track

Thanks for the introduction N-man.
Look at Yourself.... Uriah Heep

MQA remaster via Tidal.

Never heard David's voice sound so good as on this version of July Morning.


Sorry, but this deserves more than 13 minutes before getting buried...

Glenn Hughes, "Resonate"

Track 5, Steady...

Love GH's bass work on this track

Thanks for the introduction N-man.
Hope 41 minutes is enough....
Real score at my lrs.
The final swing...Trapeze.
Autographed by no less than Glenn himself!!!
Far freaking out..........
@uberwaltz -

Pardon my moment of pique there.

GH autographed copy of a Trapeze album.  Pretty nice.



@ghosthouse 
Of course! Just teasing!
Yea they also had an older trapeze album signed by all the members but that was WAY too spendy for me!

Next lrs purchase

Easter ...... Patti Smith
@ozzy 

Moonflower is a double live.
I have it on CD, its also on tidal. I think the sq is pretty good, Slaw says vinyl not so hot.....
Hey über...looking at your Rainbow Rising "avatar", you might really enjoy the organ on Resonate (assuming that RR image also means you like/liked Deep Purple).

Keyboard guy on Resonate...

@ghosthouse 
Right on every count
My early rock band faves were black Sabbath and deep purple.
Then when Ritchie, Ronnie and Cozy et al became Rainbow I followed.
Saw this lineup of rainbow live at bingley hall, Stafford, UK in 76.
think I'll put on Warren Zevon  "Sentimental Hygiene"  (lp)...later...
The GREAT Glen Hansard "Between Two Shores".


Common'..how can you not love this?!
right now?...

The Glen Hansard tribute to.. Jason Molina.  (lp)!

(Is just (one) exclamation point..OK?
@ghosthouse 

I did indeed listen to Resonate late last night via Tidal and very impressed.
Steady is a stand out track for more than just the bass work imho.
@uberwaltz

Appreciate the feedback. Glad Resonate worked for you. Nutty had recommended it a while ago but it took me some time to be in a place where I could "hear it"...if you know what I mean. Yup, Steady is a strong track I just mention GH’s bass work on that one because it really stood out to me.

Guess I will have to check out some Heep. Never got into them though I do generally enjoy prog. I remember when they were getting a bit of airplay on "underground" FM radio.

Right now though, Black Swans & Wormhole Wizards...Satriani (again).
Track 4 Light Years Away

Heep are an acquired taste for sure, David Byron has, how should we say a unique vocal style.
Standout tracks for me are ones along the lines of Look at Yourself, July Morning,The Magicians Birthday.
Probably try a best of album of Tidal
No time yet for UH. Still exploring Satriani. So far everything I’ve tried is golden...

What Happens Next
S/T
Crystal Planet
Black Swans & Wormhole Wizards
Strange Beautiful Music

Track 13 The Traveler

Okay...SBM is over. I DO recall this one by Uriah Heep. Still sounds pretty good!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKxZY0DIxIk

Songs are stronger and sound is better than I remembered.  Love that upfront organ [(Hammond?) with Leslie].

Will have to try the others you mention. See if any brain cells fire up in recollection.
Easy Livin, yes love the keyboards on that
Ken Hensley is sort of like a cross between Rick Wakeman and John Lord imho, most Heep songs feature some strong keyboards.
Enjoy.......

Yup...strong keyboards.  Didn't remember UH had that focus but it surely do.  Long time fan of "keyboard" oriented bands like Procol Harum, Yes and ELP, and, to a lesser extent, Deep Purple ("lesser" because with Blackmore's guitar it's more 50/50 keyboard/guitar).  Add Traffic and Lee Michaels to the list.  Who'm I missing???

One other thing I was struck with sampling tracks from UH's extensive discography... those guys could SING!  Good, IN-TUNE vocals (and this before "Auto-Tune"!)  and great, great harmonies.  I was impressed by the arrangements.  You look back at that stuff done 40 years ago and it's easy to understand why some people today despair about the state of contemporary popular music.  
Crazy Horse "Loose"
REM  "Green"
Smithereens "11"
George Benson "Breezin"

Next up Yes "Close to the Edge"  with a beverage or 2
Carol King "Tapestry"

compared my original to the Classic...been quite a while

Mark Knoppfler "Tracker"  dbl lp. almost forgot about this one....
