uberwaltz,
I haven't heard Moonflower, I'll check it out.
ozzy |
@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.....
|
And I will give resonate a listen later..... |
|
@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. |
Just finishing off City to City...Gerry Rafferty. Then its Resonate time

@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.
|
Schubert, Jonny Cash, Blue Oyster Cult, and Clapton. And yes, I am bi-polar! |
4/5/69 Avalon Ballroom The Grateful Dead

@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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmuNOpihXTI |
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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMRdEpUXefkOkay...SBM is over. I DO recall this one by Uriah Heep. Still sounds pretty good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKxZY0DIxIkSongs 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....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grSWdLdp7po |

uber- 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.
