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

A BEAUTY

 

Remastered SACD of the Flying Burrito Brothers first album, Guilded Palace of Sin. Fantastic!

 

Still digging on the Great Society album I posted a while ago. Also casting myself as Forum heretic by listening to shuffle play a lot:

 

I've just returned from the record store

 

I could easily listen to the Black Crowes' "Remedy" 3 times in a row.

 

Taylor Ho Bynum Large Ensemble - Plustette

So great it’s frightening. Cast of characters include Steve Swell, Mary Halvorson, Jim Hobbs, Bill Lowe, Tomas Fujiwara and many more of the NYC and Connecticut area’s finest improvisers

Great example of ego free writing with cliche free playing by all involved.

If I find words, I’ll try to express something about what I experienced at the Tony Malaby Quartet show last night.

I will say this - 2 sets 53-55 minutes each fully improvised with no breaks and I was again 5 feet away from the band.

 

Remedy has that Faces/Stones swagger.

 

It's got Joe Cocker in it too, the way he screams. I'd like the piano a little more up in the mix, but I understand it's a gui-tar band.

Right now I'm trying to finish Sonic Youth, Daydream Nation. I put on Bob Dylan, Infidels earlier, but I wasn't feeling it.

 

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If 78 Bruce doesn't do anything for you, you may be broken.

 

Burning Rocking record.

 

This is their "radio friendly" album, even though it's a stretch to call it that.

 

I’m friends with the guy who engineered the record. For sure Kim sounds better here than on any other SY record.

 

Think we talked about Rather Ripped a bit ago somewhere on this forum, maybe in this thread -- big fan of this record. I think it sounds great. Great tour, too.

 

Excellent jazz-rock album with warmly welcomed weird edge. Rich bonus tracks included too.

 

Truly great debut solo album by Phil and his impressive cast of friends (Wetton, Eno, Jobson, Mackay, Thompson, Quiet Sun...).

 

Ahhhh, calm Saturday afternoon, spring right down the road....got a 'new to me' set of speakers coming next week....

 

Various Moby Grape...Toad the Wet Sprocket too!

 

Nikki Sudden--various

 

That's as good a day's music haul as it gets. All three are timeless gems.

 

This is a solid disc and as tastefully hard-rocking as any, Gregg Allman
sounds so great here. Good to be listening to SOTW and him sing again
since his passing. It has been too long... RIP.

 

"Nobody Knows" is a certifiably gret song, equally well-performed...this album is arguably Tom Dowd's best production for ABB.

 

Excellent choices Rne! I can vouch for the Jack Johnson Sessions and Diamond Head - essential. Quiet Sun - Mainstream is still on my wishlist.

 

JAP CD TOCP-71163•64, Live At The Empire Pool, Wembley, London 1974



I need to find another live copy of this, as I have heard the original a bazillion times, the live versions with their slightly different approach is pretty cool.

 

What record store carries SHM-CDs, I want to go to there.
