| Your last concert was to see who and when? @ghosthouse You and I think alike. I kind of was hoping Michael McDonald would show up too. When DB played the songs MM sang lead on, they let the bass player (whose name I didn't catch) sing in a few places. Um, MM sang them much much better. Hi... | |
| If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck My teenage boys are currently very into this band. They both play in school music programs (one symphonic and one jazz) and their music mates are mostly vulfpeck fans. When I hear it, I think 1970s funk...of course this is a group of nerdy white g... | |
| If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck @shadorne I don't...but I saw Don Henley perform that song live, complete I think with farfisa.@roxy54 Thanks for weighing in. Glad you liked it. | |
| If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck Funny! Not that I have seen. | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers @reubent SD's band was the best group of musicians I have seen in a live performance (again jazz excepted). Fagen's voice is struggling; but the band and the backup singers so strong that it wasn't that big of a deal. "Ready" Freddy Cunningham pla... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? @ghosthouse For SD, "Ready"Freddy Cunningham handled the bass admirably. They brought out Chuck Rainey (lives in Dallas) to play on "Peg", which he recorded on Aja. He did great. I think he suffered a stroke circa 2011. John Harrington handled all... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Steely Dan with the Doobie Brothers--Dallas 05/25/18 at the Toyota Music Factory (Irving TX) | |
| Greatest Rock Drummers I just saw Keith Carlock playing with Steely Dan last night in Dallas. It was the finest drum kit performance I have seen live that wasn't straight ahead jazz. His Aja solo was terrific and his own. It paid homage to Steve Gadd without sounding li... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Countdown to Ecstasy--Steely Dan (RBCD ripped to server) | |
| Can anyone suggest a decent subwoofer cable that is about 35 feet long. I recommend Signal cable. I have two REL cable runs that are basically this long and the cables sound good. | |
| Looks like Tidal is doomed! Alas, as in the past, the musician gets the money last. So, basically TIDAL is bleeding cash and using the artists' already earned royalties to fund the company. This will probably be the undoing of TIDAL's current ownership group. They won't be a... | |
| Rowland Preamp - Which model to buy I can only comment on the Rowland pieces I own/owned. (I have not owned or heard the Capri2 or Coherence II.) I had the JR Continuum S2 integrated (which I believe has a built-in "pre" fashioned after the Capri2). I currently run the JR Corus+PSU.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I saw Brian Blade play with John Patitucci's All-Stars (Adam Rogers, Steve Cardenas) at the Iridium in NYC awhile back. BB was just as you describe above. I thought both he and JP were masterful at staking out rhythms that grooved with cou... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @daveyf I agree my previous 2 post didn't directly address your OP and instead responded to something else on the thread. Sorry about that. Please accept my apology. I think that there is an existing age, aging and income gap that is softening the... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @jimman2 Thanks for this post. Well, at least they are spending hundreds of bucks in your shop! My boys are using a Music Hall 2.2MMF TT with the stock cartridge. They got it for Christmas several years back after asking me to drag out some vintag... |
