    Then you must be listening to the same thing we're rocking to while fireworks shows are going on all around us here.

    The 'big byrd' graces my mancave with a swoop, a nod and musical blessing.
    And just in time for the loud fireworks... time for a patio sit and look. Don't
    shoot my eye out kid. Hit it Jim McGuinn, play louder...

    I had never heard of Screaming Trees until the Singles Soundtrack came out. Loved them. Not long after I bought the SST Anthology and was taken aback at how "garage-y" they sounded compared to relatively heavy production on the breakthrough stuff. Not that it's a bad thing.

    This is cool. In doing a little research I see they do an album devoted to Alfred Schnittke as well. That could be interesting.

    Couldn't resist. Has to be among my 2-3 favorite Dead releases ever, just pure smoke and funk from wall to wall.

    James Gang! Wish more Walsh era video was available. So raw and tasty.

    Close enough. It was Dick's Pick 3 from '77, , an outstanding disc one. We are getting quite
    the fireworks show here as well. There must be about 5 encampments within a quarter of a
    mile competing against each other. It has been very entertaining. Currently doing some live
    Marley and Clapton from the 1973-76 which sounds splendid. On a good day everything is
    going to sound right no matter. This happened last night too, my mind and ear both right
    'in the pocket' at the midnight hour. This evening will only get better... today is a good day.

    Disc one from both Clapton boxes; the Crossroads cut is a stunner on the EC disc.
    The '73 Leeds show w/ Marley is my favorite live release by him (w/all the wailers),
    a bonus disc that came with the Catch A Fire Deluxe; the Lyceum show is almost
    as great.

    It is very interesting, but obviously with less of an improvisational/scored feel (and frankly, it's mainly interesting because it's Schnittke, not so much because it's Kronos, although they do a fine job, IMO). Schnittke is one of my favorite composers (perhaps we've discussed this). I was driving home from work about 8-9 years ago and tuned into a local classical station and immediately diverted to a record store in the hopes that they would tell me who and what in a reasonable amount of time. Admittedly, I don't have to much, but what I have is excellent.

    The Kronos 2-CD is Kronos Quartet Performs Alfred Schnittke, The Complete String Quartets. Check out the modern, early-mid 20th Century stuff juxtaposed with the more "ancient" 17th Century motifs on this, the Andante Movement from String Quartet #3:

    The Mothers live at Carnegie Hall, 1971, but first, the backup band: The Persuasions. Great vocals.

    Great. His stuff is so unsettling and tension filled. Can only imagine the skill it must take to play this stuff-to get the feel right.

    A brilliant piece of work from a strong hard-bop lineup. Jimmy Heath gets nowhere near enough credit for his work (and his brother, Tootie shines on this one):

    I know that I've posted this before, but this highlights a great Jimmy Heath solo, a great Curtis Fuller solo (including a quote of When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again) as well as the immortal Sam Jones diggin' in on double bass. This is probably my favorite piece of hard bop. It screams.

    King Crimson Live At The Marquee, August 10, 1971. Good performance and interesting snapshot of this lineup.

    I've not seen the film, but I remember when the OST was released. Some of my favorite
    bands of the time: UB40, X, and Steel Pulse, the latter two I've seen live. Pulse opened
    up for Dylan when I saw him in'89 (was more entertaining too), and X during their
    Unclogged Tour in '95. I was as happy as a lark before, during the and after the show
    to have seen them. Still, I cannot believe they even played around here, a definite,
    and a fortunate one-off.



    NP... some fm, Bagel Radio, but I feel like some Steely Dan , maybe a live show. It seems about
    the most perfect thing I could do right now. Let's see... Citizen Steely Dan, Sept 2, 1994 Dallas.
    Really nicely played, and sounds wonderful. Java up...
