What are you Listening To Right Now? - and more

Hey all, Spent the day with family yesterday and had lots of time to reflect and talk about the health crisis's weve dealt with this year.
Late last night I came across this online, and discovered with some research that it is one of 10 ever produced. I cant imagine the value here but it has to be well beyond any tipping point of insanity.

Hope all of you Open Reel and Marantz enthusiats enjoy, and have a story of someone that has one of the ten that were sold. This is likely the rarest piece of silver era gear ever produced by any brand.

That orchestra rocks
 
Hell all, With no music yesterday I did manage to accomplish a reach out to Mark Cerusuola from the podcast that I posted the link for the other day regarding the real business of vintage Hi fi gear on The Beginner Audiophile.

I also joined his Vintage Hi Fi group on Fbook. Which is an oasis of no political content allowed and great gear posts and all subjects related to it. I have asked him to stop by our thread and possibly join in the festivities. Hopefully more to follow.

I like what he just said about recapping speaker crossovers as being highly overrated, overstated and very often totally unnecessary.

'Once More Than A Feeling' by Boston. A killer radio broadcast from Centrum (Worcester, MA), Aug 16, 1987. Miss you big time Brad Delp, God Bless you brother!

Following a six-year hiatus, fraught with legal battles with both management and their record company, Boston fans finally had reason to celebrate in September of 1986, when the group finally issued their long awaited third album. Titled Third Stage, this album would soon top the charts and become the first album in CD format ever to be certified gold.

The following year Boston would hit the road, selling out arenas across North America. Performing material from all three of their albums, including a complete performance of the Third Stage album in it's entirety, this tour was a dream come true for Boston fans. The most legendary stand of this tour occurred at the tail end of the first leg, when Boston embarked on a monumental 10 night stand at the 12,000 seater Centrum in Worcester, Massachusetts, performing before highly receptive home state audiences.

Opening and closing with plenty of classic material from their first two albums and featuring a complete live performance of the Third Stage album sandwiched in between, here is the 4th night of that remarkable 10 night stand, presented in it's entirety.

Brad Delp - lead vocals, percussion
Tom Scholz - guitar, vocals
Gary Pihl - guitar, vocals
David Sikes - bass, vocals
Jim Masdea - drums, percussion
Doug Huffman - drums, percussion, keyboards, vocals

Electronics with heat and high current different story, Not much happens in the speaker, Unless their bulged or don’t pass value muster anymore
 
Quiet recording too. Record has to be in great shape. The First press collector is out there and some have the deep pockets. Throw in some misprints and wow. I like learning about the big money records because you never know when you might come across one for a deal.

I enjoy the info you put along with some of these records you find out about. The prices are pretty shocking though.
