    Miles Davis live at the 1973 Newport Festival. The bass guitar is continuously saturated, but the overall sound quality is good, and the performance is really powerful.

    Imagine a psychedelic James Brown but with the jazzier elements put in the driver's seat. Afrocentric beat indeed.

    Ah, beer and old school metal. Soothes the nerves after all that crazy skronkin' jazz. Nice and mature comeback album.

    Cool cover art. I remember that one. My friend in high school was into Maiden. I did catch a show with him in 2003. Good times! Good show, great crowd! But I have zero interest in listening at home. Not my music. But I know some songs.

    Everything can't be for everyone, luckily :) I grew up with this band so they are as much a part of my musical DNA as the Stones and Zeppelin. A really strange thing is how big they are in Sweden and Norway, though.

    Springsteen gets all the media coverage but Maiden are huge, that's for sure!

    It's actually crazy. Whenever Springsteen arrive, it's like the second coming of The Beatles. All the major newspaper has him on the front cover for days and print up special editions etc. It goes on for a week. No wonder he loves playing up here, everyone knows him and love him. That said, the swedish audience are fantastic! One of of a kind.

    What am I listening to? The Grateful Dead in Egypt '78.

    Used to be like that over here too, but it seems to have cooled down slightly. Dunno why.

    And shame on you for being off topic in a Dead related thread, man. :D

    Actually, "fierce" is not really accurate, since this set is much more than that. There are delicate passages that can leave the listener breathless. Truly amazing performance.

    I remember my parents having this on on tape (the bloody hipsters!!!!!!!!!!!1) when I was a kid. While I loved the joyous rock found within, the cover scared me. Seriously, look at those glum faces! "Pagan Baby" wins the prize for most underrated CCR song, BTW.

    The Booker T-influenced vibe on tracks such as "Sailor's Lament" installed a lifelong love for soul music in me, as well. Thanks, ma n pa.

    I have to agree with you this time. The set covers a wide range of moods, always successfully. Highly recommendable for a Dead fan.

    I thought it was Miles', but I've just realized it was actually Gabriel's trumpet.

    He's such a naughty boy. Remember what Robert Plant asked him: "have you ever had your horn blown"... :D

    I just got through listening to a great jazz record from the late
    50's and decided to go in a different direction, so Zappa was
    the choice and it fits perfectly in a long day into night thing.
    And some jazzy Zappa too; it has been awhile since listening to
    Waka Jawaka and Waka Jawaka is hitting the spot perfectly.
    There is a big band feel to it with all the horns-a lot of brass-handled
    by just two musicians. George Duke is on it and a favorite drummer
    from the period, Ansley Dunbar... this is good, cool stuff.
