Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes - Live at the Greek

http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/380/381963.jpg

A blistering live 2 cd set of mostly Zep tunes with a few blues standards thrown in. No Crowes songs because of contractual issues. This one of my favorite live rock cd's the sound is amazing and full.

This is superb SDA recording. This show used 3 guitarists and in the past it was always difficult to discern each guitar and who was playing what because the guitars seems to come from the same location.

The way the recording was made has Audley Freed in the left channel; Rich Robinson in the right channel; and Jimmy Page in the center (actually slightly off center to the right). On the SDA's both the L and R are way out off the sides and Jimmy is just right of Chris Robinson's vocals which are dead center.

This sounds so full on the SDA's, my buddy even mentioned that it sounded like I had a surround system on while we were listening. All the instruments are so fleshed out and you can hear every little nuance of the recording. The organ, toms, cymbals were all in the mix in different spots R/L and F/B. It really sounded like I was right in the middle of the concert.

If you like Zep get this cd. If you have SDA's and like Zep this is a must have. While this band could never replace Zep they do a damn fine job and Jimmy for the most part is on fire. I have a bootleg video of a show from this mini-tour and they take a no nonsense approach. It was easy to visualize the whole show while listening to this fantastic recording.

Thanks for the info. I wonder if this offering has been put to vinyl. How old is this one?

This was released in '00 and don't hold me to it but I believe you should be able to find this on LP with some searching. If not get the cd you won't be disappointed. Chris Robinson does the best job to date on the Zep vocals. I think he is even better than David Coverdale (I have a few boots of the Coverdale/Page tour in Japan way back when). Throughly enjoyable!!

Nancy Wilson - Just For Now
1967, Capitol ST2712, LP

Amazing arrangements and sound quality from this 40 year old disc.

[BlueMDPicker]

Switching medium and spinning Mayall's "Back to the Roots" double album @ 7 1/2 IPS with the new (to me) Akai 280D-SS R2R deck. Sound quality, dynamics, bass extension, and depth/width of the soundstage simply get no better than this. Larry Taylor does a bass run in the intro to "Home Again" that could never be reproduced as faithfully on LP or CD. Mayall's honky tonk blues piano style rolls of the manual and into time and space with an intimacy and urgency of its own. As close to first generation "being there" as I've heard.

Grand Funk Railroad - Born to Die
1976, Capitol ST-11482, LP

Originally intended as their last album, they reunited shortly after its release to record with Frank Zappa on "Good Singin' Good Playin'". Side B is some of my favorite work by Farner with Craig Frost on keyboards and vocals a big plus.

Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs
1974, Chrysalis CHR 1057, LP

James Dewar was, IMHO, the best rock vocalist of the era and a bassist with few equals. This album is a showcase for his talents, Trower's guitar work is just extra icing. Sadly, he passed away in 2002 at the age of 60.

Joni Mitchell - Miles of Aisles (w/the L.A. Express)1974

http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/120/126355.jpg

I'm not a huge Joni Mitchell fan but no one can doubt her influence on folk style music and mmany of the female artists that I like site her as an influence. One of the reasons I like this disc is because of the recording. Very open and intimate for a live recording. Another outstanding SDA disc. She does a few of her major hits and I especially like the live Big Yellow Taxi, Circle Game and Blue.

Bottome line even if you aren't a big Joni Mitchell fan the recording is very much worth it. Simply outstanding because it draws you right in. Also, FYI 70% of the disc is Joni with her guitar and the other 30% includes the L.A. Express who sound fantastic.

Front 242 - ReBoot Live

The experimental nature and live performance skills of Front 242 are captured in this release of a concert given in Belgium. The band, which emerged at the forefront of Chicago's dance scene in the late 1980s, has always made a point of delivering a dynamic show utilizing only live sequencing, eschewing the use of playback tapes. The set list includes such favorites as "Body to Body," "Im Rhythmus Bleiben," "First in First Out," Moldavia," and "HeadHunter," played to an appreciative audience.

Reliving some of my younger days. This is really where "techo" music has it's roots. Some good stuff, if not a bit repetative. I remember going to Wax Trax records on Lincoln in Chicago about twice a month to get the latest new underground releases.

Art of Noise- Who's Afraid.....

I continue to regress. Which is fun to finally pull out stuf I haven't listened to in years. Met a female recently and it seems our common interest (among others) is "new wave" underground music from the 80's. Hence the romp thru my past.

Art Of Noise: Trevor Horn, Anne Dudley, J.J. Jeczalik, Gary Langan. The Art of Noise's first full-length release, from 1984, is also their best and most intriguing. Containing the dance club smash "Beat Box (Diversion One)," the MTV favorite "Close (To the Edit)" and the influential, near-ambient "Moments In Love," WHO'S AFRAID is a revolutionary album that changed the course of modern electronic music. Its effects were felt equally in postmodern avant-garde circles and the hippest of dance clubs. Trevor Horn, Anne Dudley, J.J. Jeczalik and Gary Langan's work has both melodic and rhythmic sophistication and, perhaps more importantly, a playful sense of humor. "Snapshot" cheekily quotes The Who's "Baba O'Riley," and the key rhythmic element of "Close (To The Edit)" is the sound of a car ignition. WHO'S AFRAID also has darker moments, like "A Time For Fear," which prominently features tapes of the 1983 US invasion of Grenada, and the foreboding, ambient pieces that end the second side.

No sadly I never bought the original, but my brother who is way more into the "new wave" movement of the 80's on a regualr basis does have it and I made a copy. Listened to a lot of Ministry and Cabaret Voltaire, Nitzer Ebb etc......the list goes on and I seriously haven't listened to this stuff in 8-10 years.

Always from day 1 have been a Trent Reznor fan and I think he was influenced heavily by many of the "harder" sythesized industrial music of that era (80's) Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, Revolting Cocks, and on on and on......:)

Hi treitz3! Like you, I have well over 2000 LPs I collected over 40+ years. Probably 80% were only played once to make a cassette tape. I'm glad I resisted the urge to get rid of them because I've heard nothing out there with the dynamics and realism--except maybe R2R (which I also have a ton of. :) )

Elton John - Honky Chateau Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs Ed


http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/110/114265.jpg


By the time Elton John went to France to cut HONKY CHATEAU in 1972, he had already become the first act since the Beatles to land four albums in the American Top 10 simultaneously. Up to that point, John had performed in a trio rounded out by bassist Dee Murray and drummer Nigel Olsson. The addition of guitarist Davey Johnstone on HONKY CHATEAU added another dimension to the overall sound. The results were successful, as the nonsensical "Honky Cat" and the Bowie-inspired "Rocket Man" became John's first Top 10 hits since the release of "Your Song" two years prior. John and co. reined in the lengthy, moody excesses of MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER, turning in a highly focused collection of beautifully crafted pop. The rollicking "I Think I'm Gonna Kill Myself," the sassy "Susie (Dramas)," and the stirring "Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters" are all standouts. The John/Bernie Taupin partnership also yielded a number of songs with vivid imagery, including the Civil War-era American South of "Slave" and a front-row pew before a gospel choir in the inspirational "Salvation." Pound for pound, HONKY CHATEAU may be one the strongest, most consistent, and most pleasurable records in the mammoth John discography.

Good stuff here. Hercules sounds great on SDA's.

The material may be seriously dated, but the playing is seriously serious. Recording seems to be a collection of raw studio cuts of two friends having a good time. It's complete with the two gabbing and on a track or two "working out an intro".

Simon is accompanied by an astounding band that brings together New York studio vets, South African musicians and a Brazilian percussion group, and the result is an elegant, panoramic, cross-cultural sound. Simon's older material is reinterpreted and successfully redefined in the process.

How's that Tori Amos album? I've been thinking about picking it up.


Darla, it’s typical Tori Amos with the same type of piano sound and the same cadence in her voice. It’s a bit less spastic than some of her other releases. Some have said the production is a bit stripped down and sparse, I would agree (a good thing). It’s certainly a bit more upbeat and aggressive than her last release “The Bee Keeper”. In the grand scheme of Tori, you can’t mistake it for being her but at the same time it’s a bit gentler than earlier angst driven stuff.

If you are a casual fan or hardcore fan I recommend it. A solid 3.5 out of 5 IMO.

There are some catchy tunes on here. A slight cross between Sinead O'connor and Dolores O'Riordan from the Cranberries.

The drums are electronic. Sort of reminds of late "80s new wave music.

I was just listening to Henry Rollins... Under the Bridge. I have heard of drums not being life like in speakers. I used to agree. I just had the crap scared out of me. I had it at a moderate level, and the drummer hit the snare with a technique where the stick hits the rim, and the snare at the same time. It made me jump! Did I mention I am so Happy! Is jazz at the Pawn shop similar to this? If it is I must have.

Luther Allison - Live in Chicago-Alligator(alcd4869)

All I can say is this guy could tear it up. Recorded live at The Chicago Blues Festival in 1995. Born and raised to a family of modest means he followed around all the Chicago great's and their influence shows. Luther was able to carve his own style blending many of the influences when growing up.

Disc 1 ends with a blues Medley of epic proportions w/Buddy Guy joining him onstage. Disc 2 has live cuts from Buddy Guys's Legends and The Zoo in Lincoln Nebraska.

Luther Allison remains one of the many vastly underated Blues guitarists period, let alone from the spawning ground of so many greats, Sweet Home Chicago.

Highly recommended if you are a casual Blues listener a Must have for Blues fans.

Charlotte Martin - On Your Shore

I've talked about her before. Much in the vein of Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Fiona Apple and touch of Sarah McLachlan. She plays piano and has a very beautiful voice. Well worth checking out.

Singer/songwriter Charlotte Martin got her start singing opera while attending Eastern Illinois University in the late '90s. Her father was a respected professor in the music department, and naturally Martin followed his footsteps. She'd been playing piano since she was a little girl and her childhood was surrounded by music. While attending school, Martin experienced "real life," from living with her goth roommate and dealing with typical college-like drama to the tragic suicides of two close friends. Martin turned to music for solace.

:confused: I'm not sure why I've never picked up this CD before as I've been searching for better recordings. To tell you the truth, I didn't really know who Dire Straights was and didn't realize I knew half the songs alread. :rolleyes:

This 2 CD set rocks! Excellent use of dynamics in the music and excellent preservation of them in the recording. A couple of these tracks are going on my next system showoff disk.

This disk made me keep wanting to turn it up for some reason. The bass is so solid, the guitar so clear and dynamic. and the vocals are tremendous. This is another recording that puts me in a state of disbelief of what the RTi70's can sound like.

Little Feat, Waiting for Columbus album, song "Don't bogart that joint". My dad was at that concert in Washington DC. Third row. He said that during that song, so many folks threw joints up on stage that LG picked one up and toked. The band actually took a five minute break to "enjoy" some time, and then resumed the concert.

That song, along with "Apolitical blues" was omitted from the first CD's and cassettes, appearing only on LP until recently [that I know of] on a remastered version of the album which features 10 more songs on top of the original album.

Fiona Apple - Extraordinary Machine

Bookended by lush, vaudeville-like tunes created with Apple's longtime collaborator Jon Brion, EXTRAORDINARY MACHINE features production work by Mike Elizondo (50 Cent, Eminem) on all other tracks. Those expecting any hip-hop flourishes will be left empty-handed; this disc presents Apple working in her signature style, with her soulful, slightly mischievous voice carrying these confident, primarily piano-driven songs. The performer's penchant for confessional, witty lyrics is still apparent, but her approach is notably more subtle and mature here. While many tracks are gilded with adventurous arrangements that incorporate an arsenal of organs (Farfisa, Optigan, etc.), marimba, Moog bass, and other unusual instrumentation, Apple also shines when left to her own devices, as on the spare, melancholy ballad "Parting Gift." Listeners worried that the lengthy hiatus might have diluted Apple's potent, inventive aesthetic can sleep well; EXTRAORDINARY MACHINE more than lives up to the superlative in its title.

Allison Krauss/Robert Plant - Raising Sand

Leaked copy from the internet :eek:

So far just a 320k kbps leaked copy, which sounds pretty good on the computer rig. I've had it for a couple weeks now and really have only just started listening to it.

They have taken some old standby's and given it the duet treatment with a competent backing band. All-in-all pretty mellow and it definetly has a country flare. Good low key music which isn't overly inspiring but certainly if in the right mood is a pleasure to listen to.

Dave Mason - Certified Live
1976, CBS PG 34174, 2-LP

Recorded at the Universal Ampitheater, this double album live set is Mason at the absolute top of his game vocally and instrumentally. The opening cut, an ass bumping funked-up arrangement of "Feelin' Alright", sets a standard that is never compromised as Dave works through several Traffic covers, an Eagles standard, a Dylan/Hendrix anthem, slow blues, and several of his signature hits.

A "must have" for Mason fans or exactly where to start for someone looking for a solid introduction.

Face, I was listening to David Grohl [guy on the left] way back in high school. I was running the sound board for the talent show in [if memory serves] '85. Damn Fire Marshall motioned for me to kill the sound, stopped the show mid run, walked down the isle and proceeded to tell everyone that they must sit down or the show was to be canceled. "Safety regulations". Only time in my life I was mad at a fireman. The student body instantly BOOOO'd him until he sat back down, but the show went on.

They were playing "wipe out" and all the students got out of the seats and started air surfing. Yeah, he was wearing the girl outfits back then. White bra and a black skirt for that concert, complete with makeup. That wasn't a marketing thing, just David.

I will be listening to Van Halen live tonight around 9:00. I have been real skeptical since they announced their reunion and have even made fun of them because of all the antics over the years. But now that the concert is less than 24 hours away I"m actually pretty psyched.

So far they have been getting pretty good reviews and I don't expect them to be like they were in the 80's, but if they can come close I'll be happy. I really didn't think it would last this long.

Hillbilly Band by The Marshall Tucker Band at the moment. I like it! :)

At the moment......

Picked up a halfway decent copy of the 1812 Overture on Friday. Living Stereo LSC 2345 with Bolero on the flip side, cleaned it up and threw it on the table on Saturday. I think this is the first time I've heard the entire 1812 Overture, obviously heard the cannon parts a bunch during fireworks, etc. Very impressed with the soundstage, I'd say it's definitely the widest I've heard in my system, the height is there as well. I can also place the instruments very well within the soundstage. Not very impressive was the cannon shots, sounded like they played them through a tape deck into the concert hall.

Dave Mason - Certified Live
1976, CBS PG 34174, 2-LP

Recorded at the Universal Ampitheater, this double album live set is Mason at the absolute top of his game vocally and instrumentally. The opening cut, an ass bumping funked-up arrangement of "Feelin' Alright", sets a standard that is never compromised as Dave works through several Traffic covers, an Eagles standard, a Dylan/Hendrix anthem, slow blues, and several of his signature hits.

A "must have" for Mason fans or exactly where to start for someone looking for a solid introduction.

I was there for the concert and a terrfic one it was! Thanks for helping me relive a great memory! :D

Daryl Hall and John Oates - Bigger Than Both of Us
1976, RCA APL1-14S7, LP

I believe this was the first LP I ever acquired by the duo, and it's still my favorite.

I have that LP as well, but have not listened to it in a looooooong time. I should dig it out.

"You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far

cause you know it don't matter anyway

you can rely on the old man's money..."

[BlueMDPicker]

Dig it out, Steve. It's definitely worth a spin.

Carrying on with:

Daryl Hall and John Oates - Voices
1980, RCA AQL1-3646, LP

Side B is dy-no-mite! Most excellent cover of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" (I still can't believe that whack job Phil Spector had a hand in that tune), "You Make My Dreams Come True", and the pre-Paul Carrack cover rendition of "Everytime You Go Away" (penned by Daryl.)

Diskreetse Mango Trio (http://www.myspace.com/diskreetsemangotrio)........this band is so odd I can't stop listening. And despite having "trio" in their name, there are like 50 people in this band.

Still, its a weird/interesting change of pace....

[Shannon W.]

If you like funny bands Check out "They Might Be Giants"

Wax Fang - La La Land

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51rM0Dv8srL._SS500_.jpg

Released November 17th, 2007 on Don't Panic! Records.

Fantastic and extremely talented band from Lousiville, KY. This is definitely for the types who think there isn't any good music being made these days. Found out about this band last November at a My Morning Jacket show here in town.

http://www.myspace.com/waxfang to sample a few tracks...

Their old CD, Black & Endless Night, or their new one, La La Land, would both be equally good to start off with.

[audiobliss]

...my conscience screaming write those two papers that are due tomorrow! They're each worth 20% of your grade in those classes!!!

...I wonder where my Eric Clapton unplugged CD is...I'm sure it sounds a LOT better...

Def Leppard - Pyromania

Japan vinyl. I never owned this album in the 80's like everyone else did.. so i picked this up on near mint Japan pressing.

Little Feat - Sailin' Shoes
1972, Warner Bros., CD

"Just give me weed, whites, and wine...."

If memory serves BMDP, this had a better sound with the Waiting for Columbus album....which is actually what I am listening to, AGAIN :D. I have gotten my throat raw trying to sing along at performance levels to this song. No, I will not provide a U-tube of me singing to it. ;)

I'm listening to the song "Dixie Chicken" right now, so that song won't bee too far away. Crap, who am I foolin'? That's on disc two. I'll catch up to ya' here in an hour or so..... ;)

I think I have that particular LP in my collection so I'll have to give that version a whirl when I have the time. Good tunes man, good tunes! :D

Miles Davis - Freddie Freeloader. Great SDA track - there are instruments coming out of my walls!

Albert Collins - Ice Pickin'
MP3 ripped to iPod driving the Dynaco ST-70 and my SDA 2B's in the excercise room

This was my introduction to Albert's groove in 1978. It's timeless, solid blues.

[Sherardp]

Giving the Hip Hop & R&B a break for awhile. Listening to Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Weezer, Nirvana, Green Day,Death of the Cool,and Bjork. Expanding my audio base and seeing what else is out there.

Jimmy D. Lane - Legacy
1998, APO (import), CD

This one has kinda' grown on me. The vocals seemed a bit edgy and arhythmic until I got comfortable with his style. It features the last studio performance by his Dad, blues legend Jimmy Rogers.

On vinyl! Nitty Gritty up and running, TT up to snuff, dialed in and it sounds absolutely wonderful! You can definitely hear the recording limitations of that era.http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21RC3QP3BXL._AA115_.jpg

A lot of Bob Seager's stuff was somewhat compressed.

I'm pretty much offended by everything in this thread.

Off with their heads!!!:D;)

Depeche Mode - ULTRA

[hearingimpared]

Zappa is one of the all time greatest artist in the purest sense of the word.

[sda2mike]

he was such a genius....he was a mad-man...a sober lunatic! i go through periods where i have to have my daily ZAPPA dose! typically one of those FZ guitar solos will do;)

I've seen him in concert a few times but the one that sticks out the most is that the guy and the Mothers performed for 5 hours with just one break. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. LOL! I was exhausted after the concert, imagine what they felt like.

[sda2mike]

wow! 5 hours:eek: what a treat:)

Amen to that! I missed all the drama in the forum last night, but I was there in spirit, jamming out to Apostrope!

I'm jonesing now cause all my Zappa LPs are in the "mold archives" I have to dig them up and try to restore them!:(:mad:

C'mon, Joe, you know they're worth the effort. I've only got Hot Rats and Apostrophe on vinyl, but they both sound pretty good.

When I was 13 my uncle pissed my mom off royally when he gave me a mixed tape of Zappa stuff; had Broken Hearts are for *******s, Bobby Brown, all the offensive ones on it.

This afternoon has been a mix of Aerosmith, Elton John, Live and Kid Rock

Dire Straits
Brother in Arms
SACD

As I sit here listening to it. Its probably the best sounding cd I got.

[jflail2]

Red Sparowes. I've really gotten into them and Explosions In The Sky again as of late. This "post rock" instrumental music is perfect for head heavy work.

[obieone]

I just burned some Robin Trower, Frank Marino, SRV, Muddy, Buddy, B.B., and Mountain.
the rest of the time, it's 'bluesville' on xm.
Just discovered Joe Banamasa's 'Burning Hell' as I was writing this and had to CRANK IT!

Luther Allison - Bad News Is Coming
1972, Gordy G9462, LP

The high notes he can wail, best evidenced on the title cut of this album, are super human. His cover of "Cut You A-Loose" is, IMHO, the difinitive version.

Mike, I have this one enroute to my house. I can't believe I've never heard it before, maybe a song now and then on the radio back in the day but never the whole LP.
