    Since the Grateful Dead shows I picked from 79 and 73 were both only partially recorded, I managed to listen to 4 Grateful Dead shows today, so right now I'm taking a break from the GD and listening to Grant Green Alive!

    Also on the 'weird albums' thread that's currently going, someone mentioned Sun Ra's (evidently incredibly rare) Fireside Chat with Lucifer. I found a needle drop of that one on Youtube, I listened to that one earlier, and am getting ready to play it again after Alive! finishes up.

    Springsteen's second album in 1973. It has better songs, much better lyrics and more electric guitars! The production is very nice, probably his best sounding record.

    Don't care much for Wild Billy's circus story though.

    I think the remaster sounds quite nice. It's a bit loud but it's not harsh.

    King Crimson, Lizards, listened to the original mix and now the Steven Wilson remix from 2009. I don't know the album well enough to readily spot all the differences, perhaps the original mix is a bit more eccentric, but it's such an eccentric album overall that it is hard to say. I usually stay away from remixes of classic albums, as it's the aural equivalent of Greedo shooting first, but I did buy a bunch of these Crimson ones for the extra tracks, extra video on some of them, and because you get both the remix and the original mix in DVD-A quality sound. At least keep the original mix in print, and even better, put it on the same release with higher quality sound... Crimson had done it better than most.

    Mick Ronson's best moment (among many, many great ones) might just be the version of Moonage Daydream on this one.

    I've just listened to it again, and yes, it's better than the debut album, which was excellent, by the way. Musically richer ("Kitty's Back" is awesome). I enjoy the circus song, I must say. And these remasters sound really well so far.

    The remaster sounds a bit better than the original release, but I still can't enjoy it. Not subtle at all.

    A magic night for Ronno, indeed. A hell of a farewell for Ziggy.


    I often enjoy remixes of classic albums, and I don't find the Greedo analogy that accurate. George Lucas bastardized some of the film scenes, while a good remix (like in the case of those done by Wilson) is (generally) just rearranging the already existing elements.
    I get what you mean, though.

    This one reminds me of my childhood, but apart from the emotional bond, it's a great record.

    I like this remix and Islands. With the tracks unfolded there's a lot more stuff to hear, and it sounds more natural.

    It's fine, but not as good as the previous two albums, in my opinion. I'm not too fond of the production.

    Heh heh. It's thick and muddy. Wall of sound.
    I love the songs! The production is alright... but I'm glad he only did one record with that sound

    Yes, the "wall of sound" mix is not something I'm fan of (I love Harrison's All Things Must Pass, though). The only Wall Of Sound I like has a vocal cluster floating in the middle ;)
    Now that I'm listening to Born To Run for the second time, it feels better, so it will possibly grow on me.

    Bruce Springsteen is a big weirdo posing as the "everyman." Throughout my life, I have found that he really connects with people that I just don't. That said, I have several of his albums and downloads, and I rate him 3.5/5. He's good.

    (Today my horoscope said, "You will be prone to controversial statements, but will strive to see the positive, too.")

    Jersey Bono has never appealed to me. I don't know why. I should like him. But, well, that really hasn't happened.
