    My aunt, God rest her soul, gave me this album when it was brand new. That opened a whole can of worms for me!

    Hey thread! Do I like John Prine? An attorney friend of mine just asked me to go. Don't let anyone tell you all attorneys suck.

    I'm fairly sure I have one of his recent albums, and I liked it.

    Great album by Lou Reed, great arrangements and guitar playing by the often overlooked Mick Ronson.

    Excellent audience recording from the unique first leg that focused primarily on material from the "reunion"-era albums. Great to hear a set loaded with newer stuff for a change. :)

    I have seen him live before but it was 30years ago. I’d say definitely go. Am thinking about it myself but not sure that it works for me timing wise.

    I remember Pocahontas really made an impression on me when this first came out.

    Saw him at Red Rocks last summer. A good time was had. He’s a real raconteur

    I always liked Robert Palmer. He appeared to be a take-it-easy, hard-working performer who had the funk thing mastered along with his blue-eyed soul. He was smart enough to get Little Feat to mix it up with him early on, and that is the stage of his career I liked the most. He was suave enough to be a poseur, but I don't think he was; never read or heard much if anything about him in the ways of 'assoholia'. His body of work is solid and he took advantage of the popularity which he earned.

    On a trip down to Georgia, one of the coolest of the cool I've ever known, who lived and worked in hot'lanta, working towards a decent career for Atlantic Records, advised me on Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley when it was released, said it was one of the best records of the year. I had to agree. He has since passed on, but bless him, he knew his music from the very first day I had the pleasure of meeting him.

    And right around the same time, Little Feat's last album that I really
    liked and the last studio that Lowell George had a hand in was released.
    The preceding record was exceptional, making their last two lps at this point
    in time memorable ones. There are some marvelous things going on with
    Time Loves A Hero--two of the newest Doobie Brothers add a little help
    along the way also. A Day At the Races consistently leaves me with my mind
    a wonder, my mouth agape. Their most popular release yet was on the way
    within a year...

    This is a good day.

    Overjoyed to have this obscure gem in my hands. Recorded in 1973 but not released until 2000.

    Here it is in it's entirety thanks to YT. You'll know in the first 30 seconds if it's your kind of music, but if you like blues and soul you'll love this.

    Track 3 is the original Jet Airliner which shreds Steve Miller's version into tiny bits.

    This has been one of my favorite albums since it came out. Jerry plays pedal steel on Venutian Lady.

    Me too. I first heard it in college, several years before the unplugged album came out. By the time the protagonist is hanging out with Marlon Brando, I was floored. It's a truly great song.

    Trying a 3rd copy of All Things Must Pass, this one is a winchester pressing, and a solid VG. The other two previous copies were bin with G parts....so far so good. I am not asking for much...just play through. lol. A pretty 1st of Combat Rock is easier....

    While it's not a popular opinion, I actually dig the over-the-top Spector wall of sound production. A stripped down version, while still very strong due to the songwriting - would miss a bit the the magic. IMO, of course.

    Yeah, there are lots of other albums I like to hear a remixed version of before ATMP.
