| Your first concert was to see who and when? Wow some amazing concerts here! Mine was during a family visit to Phoenix in 1970. The headliner was Three Dog Night, but the opener was Blues Image, still one of my favorite bands. The following year, we visited Phoenix again and were eager to... | |
| Tune of the Day @slaw “Metamorphosis” is one of my favorite albums, including “Butterfly Bleu”. I listened to the whole album today, followed by much of “Ball”. And, since Mike Pinera is one of my favorite guitarists, I went on to Blues Image “Open” and finishe... | |

| Thiel Owners @beetlemania. Sorry for the delay in responding. The Treos are quite good at portraying round, live instruments in space. The sound gets out of the cabinet and lives in the room. Which is wonderful and one of the qualities I love about Thiels. ... | |
| Tune of the Day @blue-magoo speaking of which, how about the Blues Magoos, “(Ain’t Seen) Nothing Yet”? | |
| Tune of the Day @slaw. As is often the case, I get to thinking I know a lot about music, and then I read some of your recommendations and, not only haven’t I heard the tune, I haven’t heard of the artist. @jfrost27 good call, that’s a great album. One of th... | |

| Tune of the Day Loggins & Messina, "Golden Ribbons" Tom Waits, "The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me)" Jerry Jeff Walker, "Song for the Life" (Tony Rice's version is good, too). | |

| Thiel Owners I have an opportunity to score some Thiel 2 2's, which would replace my Vandersteen Treo CT's. I like the Treos, but I have really fond memories of Thiel 2 2's that I had years ago. They would be paired with an Ayre AX 20 integrated. I am not o... | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? How about: Big Band of Brothers, (Jazz versions of Allman Bros tunes) Moody Bluegrass, Vol 1 and 2 Great Ceasar's Ghost: What's Done is Done (mostly Allman Bros covers) Jazz is Dead, any of their albums Quiet About It: Tribute to Jesse Winch... | |
| Upcoming Concerts?! @mofimadness Those are wonderful memories. You and I probably passed each other at one or more of those concerts. If I ever spilled a beer in your lap, I apologize! | |
| Best Audiophile Album in terms of Dynamic Range and Mastering Quality? Well, these don't exactly make the last decade cutoff, but I can't imagine a list that didn't include these: Mighty Sam McClain Give it Up to Love Holly Cole Don't Smoke in Bed Chris Jones Roadhouses and Automobiles | |
| Upcoming Concerts?! @mofimadness. Spot on about the magic of Red Rocks. So many wonderful memories of shows there, including a near-legendary night with Chuck Mangione playing under a lunar eclipse. I am in the Colorado Symphony Chorus and so I’ve had the good for... | |
