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?

@mv_lopez - I love the versions of "Castles Made of Sand/Little Wing" on the Best of Tuck and Patti album. It's really good IMHO.
Brand new Sevendust album, out today


All I see is War..... Sevendust.

More melodic than some of their older stuff, thumbs up so far.
I’m listening to a (gifted) Grateful Dead "Europe ’72" (3 lp set) off and on today as I clean it.

Up Next:

The Jawhawks "Mockingbird Time" (lps)
La Sera "Hour of the Dawn" (lp) ...something different..... after that,

Robyn Hitchcock  "Love From London"  (lp)
Another very productive trip to our LRS.
As I walked in the owner was just putting out some new stuff from a recent collection purchase.
Scored 3 Queen albums

So in no particular order the next 3 served up are....

News Of The World
A Night At The Opera
A Day At The Races

Collective Soul "Live" (lp)..again...


@uberwaltz,

Were they UKs??


Up next/in the What's on Your TT Tonight thread...

The 2017 re-issue/re-master...Bob Dylan  "Love & Theft"

I thought when I ordered it was a Sony / Legacy. Upon reading the back cover, I'm a little confused, as it reads made in the EU. As long as it sounds good, I'm OK.
Incubus, Morning View, CD

Avenged Sevenfold, S/T. CD How great is "Acid Rain"?!!

uberwaltz, great score on Queen! One of my top 20 bands. I saw them with
Freddie M. in Cincinnati. Probably the best live show of my lifetime. "Sleeping On The Sidewalk" from News of the World. Never played on the radio, great song.

slaw, I’ve got several Collective Soul on Disc. Those guys are rock stars! Not many people give them enough credibility, IMO.

We saw a7x couple weeks ago at Rockville, awesome! Still one of all time fave hard rock bands. Nightmare is their best album imho , not one single bad or filler track on it. Victim is my all time fave a7x track.
And back in 89 or 90 saw Queen live at Wembly Stadium, mind blowing stuff.

Have Collective soul on cassette but not vinyl.
I absolutely love this thread as its geared towards great music of any medium.
Vinyl, CD, streaming, cassette, fm radio you name it, you can post about it right here.
Heard a lot of new to me music just from other people's posts here.
Great job Nutty!
@slaw 

Yes all 3 are I think original UK releases and all in pristine condition. If they have been played it is not many times imho.

Night at the opera is a 1975 Elektra label
Day at the races is a 1976 Elektra label
News of the world is a 1976 Queen Production
@ghosthouse,

Interestingly, I was thinking about Steve Winwood during the week.

The last lp I bought of his... "Nine Lives". It really is a good lp that, IMO, was overlooked. Harkens back to his earlier stuff.

Have a great weekend!
August... Eric Clapton

Synchronicity... The Police

Both on cassette.

Our LRS just throws all the tapes in big boxes and sells them $10 for 5 tapes so I always have a rummage round to see what's new.
Hi @slaw 
Yup...agree with you about Nine Lives.  Have that (though nothing of his more commercially successful releases like Arc of the Diver or Talking Back to the Night).  Steve Winwood gets a lot of respect from me...a darn good guitarist, not just a Hammond pilot, and one of the most distinctive voices in popular music.  

Here's video of SW at Eric Clapton's 2007 "Crossroads" doing Dear Mr. Fantasy.  If this don't give you chills....you be day-ed son!  The fun really starts at 5 minutes in...

ghosthouse,

Your previous post was inspiring. They don't write em' like that anymore. I'm going back to pull your recommendations from our earlier discussion and give them my full attention.

uberwaltz, 

Thanks for your kind words earlier. Thank you and everyone for your contributions to the thread.....Please keep posting!

The Black Keys "Attack & Release" (lp)

This may be of interest...if my memory is correct, they were planning on writing some of, or all of this lp with Ike Turner but he passed away.
Yes  "Big Generator"  (lp)
Traffic "John Barleycorn Must Die"  (lp) United Artist
I'm going to sneak in a Tune of the Day here. Shhh.....

Yes "Love Will Find a Way". Highly recommended!
With the 25% off discounts on vinyl recently, I could not resist.

Currently cleaning the 45rpm Yes "The Yes Album"

May get to Counting Crows "August & Everything After" 

(lps)
Just could not help myself

Again

Eat The Elephant... APC

My fave track so far.. "So long and thanks for the fish"
@slaw 

Talking of Counting Crows and Collective Soul.

Both are playing at our "new" outdoor concert venue this summer.

Will be catching both.
Update to Queen albums
Elektra was the U.S. release
EMI would have been the UK release
Does not really matter to much to me.
@uberwaltz,

I only asked as the UK was the country of origin...most likely the (best) sounding copies. (You should know this..yes?)

When you said you were privy to a collection, this got my juices flowing.

The reason it all matters to me is SQ. I think someday, it will matter to you.

Peace and love brother.

.......................................................................................................................

right now:

Johnathan Wilson "Gentle Spirit" (lp)
@slaw 

No I totally understand.
At least they are original Elektra pressings with the butterfly label.
I agree that most European pressings do seem to be mastered "different" to USA pressing.


The Cars  "Heartbeat City".

What a wonderful lp! They finally received their due.
Definitely happy Mothers Day!

Talking of the Beatles
I was in a funky old antiques store in Savannah, Georgia last night where we went for a short weekend break

They had a copy of Abbey Road

$600......

I left......
Our FYE having a vinyl sale today...

Lullaby and the ceaseless roar... Robert Plant

Double album on 180GM AND CD included.
Isolate and Medicate... Seether.

One of those sad occasions when the vinyl copy is inferior to the CD.
The l.p. sounds very closed in and 2 dimensional, muffled, hard to pinpoint anything much in the mix.
Good job it was 50% off!
