Un-Grateful Thread - What Are You Listening to Instead of the Dead?

For Album Club purposes, and also because they are great albums, BobbyCharles self-titled (1972) and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Damn the Torpedoes. Two perfect albums.

 

Disc 1 yesterday, disc 2 today. I think it's, up to now, the best live release from the 2013-2017 period of the band. Recorded live just some months ago, this excellent-sounding soundboard captures King Crimson on a splendid night performing compositions from every phase of the band's career. The only missing element is no other than the space for free improvisations, but there are still lots of surprises and unexpected turns. I'm not very fond of Jakko Jakszyk's vocals, particularly during Wetton's or Lake's vocal parts, but he has some really big shoes to fill and he does his best.

 

I know Crispy and I are both on the Bobby Charles bandwagon, but there's plenty of room! I'd also throw Paul Pena (s/t or New Train) in the same boat (er.... wagon). Folks around here will like both. (Jerry adds pedal steel to a track on New Train, btw)

 

Not buying this or listening to any Crimson (old or new) before the upcoming 11/11 show in Allentown, PA.

I've been considering listening to the tracks I haven't heard in 25 plus years (stuff from Wake through Islands) that I will probably hear at the concert.

 

I'm sure it must be an awesome live experience.

 

Big fan of the Bobby Charles album.

We will see

 

this band does it right

 

One of his best. And anybody out there who likes this record and haven't heard Alvin Youngblood Hart's cover of "Ice Rose" should do that post haste.

 

Alan Hampton - The Moving Sidewalk

 

The Monkees - The Door into Summer.

 

Aimee Mann compilation...

 

Hope you have The Monkees mono box set.

 

The Zincs - Dimmer

 

A marvelous record. And the originally unreleased Bat Chain Puller was even better.

 

Had Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here on yesterday, an album not heard in full for maybe ten years. Very good, except for that annoying logo in the top left ruining a great cover.

Next album I want to buy is 'Rust Never Sleeps' Can someone Tell Me Why there is 2 different covers for that one?

 

Future Sound of London • Lifeforms

 

Yes, it is better!

 

Today Angel's Egg by Gong, Unrest by Henry Cow

 

I found this one in a record store today and I couldn't help buying it even though is also going to be included in the upcoming box set. Really good-sounding soundboard recording.

 

would be so much better if they had two vocalists

 

This is quickly becoming the KC thread.
