| A music thread for diehard analog guys that get great sound from cd @slaw - Agree about Dave Alvin! He was/is fabulous with The Blasters, and has put out two really good CD's with Jimmie Dale Gilmore. | |
| Patty Barber Like JT Agree with everyone about Patricia Barber. Her CD, Cafe Blue, is fantastic. It is often on audiophile best recordings/production lists. | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? @immatthewj - I don't remember the song they played together. Looking through setlist.fm it probably was "Daddy's Little Pumpkin". "Girl in the War" is one of my wife's favorite Ritter songs. He's quite a songwriter and performer. Last Spring h... | |

| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? @jimsnicestuff When people are asked and share their memories about Jimi Hendrix and best opening acts, I'm hoping someone will reminisce about seeing Jimi Hendrix opening for the Monkees in 1967. | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Josh Ritter and his band opening for Jason Isbell and his band, at the Count Basie Center in Red Bank, NJ, in 2016. I did not know who Ritter was and made an effort to familiarize myself with his songs beforehand. Thinking he was just "ok," I was ... | |
| A great singer you may have never heard, or even heard of. @bdp24 Reading your thread starter had me searching my collection to find my copies of Le Chat Bleu and Coup de Grace. Took a while... In the process I found my copy of the Doc Pomus tribute/fundraiser album "Till the Night Is Gone: A Tribute to... | |
| Best Used Tube Based Preamp $2k Or Under? @nightfall - I've been following your query/thread with interest because a while back I was also looking for a tube pre-amp, with remote for $2000. If I may, I'd recommend either an ARC LS15, or a Sonic Frontiers Linestage 1 or 2. Both come wit... | |
| R2R next? Don't like ESS @martinman -Having owned and a number of ES chipset DACs in the past, and been disappointed by the sound, I gave the ES chipset one more go and purchased the LKS MH-DA005, based on rave reviews by many A'gon members. It's an end-game DAC, and with... | |
| Congratulations to Gillian Welch and David Rawlings! They also won for "All the Good Times." They are playing Carnegie Hall, in May. I will be there. | |
| Here's a really, really great video on Richard Manuel (and oh yeah, The Band). @bdp24 "But he no longer has to do the manual labour." Someone else puts his wrestling mask on his face? | |
| Here's a really, really great video on Richard Manuel (and oh yeah, The Band). @bdp24 You're still a young man! Cleanish living and you definitely got your exercise. Now, the gym has replaced working-man-full-body-workouts. Doing pretty well, myself, at 72. Saw The Flag at Cafe Au Go Go in Winter, 1968. Rumors were Hendr... | |
| Here's a really, really great video on Richard Manuel (and oh yeah, The Band). @bdp24 - "The debut Paul Butterfield Blues Band album was the first "real" Blues music I heard." We must be close in age because my friends and I had a similar experience. I was a nascent guitarist who was totally bowled over by Mike Bloomfield’... | |
| Here's a really, really great video on Richard Manuel (and oh yeah, The Band). @bdp24 So many musicians used heroin. Both Stan Getz and Philly Jo Jones said they used heroin because it gave them the energy they needed to cope with the demands of playing. Robbie Robertson says Richard, Rick and Levon’s heroin use is one of... |
