What are you Listening To Right Now? - and more

[Row-bear-tow]

There’s an AMAZING live recording that was making its way around as a bootleg which Tangerine Dream finally released a year or two ago.

Royal Albert Hall, April 2 1975

an amazing performance and it’s quite the long performance as well. Definitely worth listening to if you’re into that stuff....which it seems like you are

Thanks for letting me know...i was was unaware of it!
Is it a formal cd/vinyl release?

Wow! Another of my most favorite albums.

Yes, they perhaps took stupid pills in order to dumb down their talent and music to the level that it appealed to a new and untapped fan base.

Let's be honest, many of those guys wanted two things: get paid and get laid! What did we all want in our early 20's?!?!

I blame Elton John. Being paid for being laid did not work worth a damn (on either count). That’s why I took up trucking.

For sure and others while not really hair metal bands were marketed to MTV as if they were. Great White for example. Just like Alice In Chains were categorized as grunge when they really weren't but it certainly helped to push them ahead at the time

As Don Cherry once said, "scorers score and plumbers plumb"!
Now that is wisdom!

You met Elton John?

Radio Revolution: The Rise and Fall of the Big 8
Not sure if anyone would have interest in this documentary on the history of CKLW.
I just got a replacement copy in the mail today (mine was lent out and never returned).
It can still be ordered directly from Markham Street films....

No. I stole some of his lyrics.

The Technics SL-1700 headshell arrived yesterday with a AT 331 cartridge on it.
I gave it a spin on some songs and while not terrible, not in the league of the Pickerings.
Bought it for the unique, heavier headshell that the tweaked Denon DL103 goes on when it arrives.

I didn't catch that. I thought you were referencing a past encounter.

I thought you might. Hence the clarification.

Them too! Telarc and DG are automatic grabs for me.

Melodiya (Russia, formerly the USSR state label) and Harmonia Mundi (France) are also quite good.

^^^^This, and add Archiv Produktion and Erato to the list while you’re at it.
I wouldn’t be too quick to dismiss opera but that’s just me.

My dad had a lot of Archiv mono LP's back in the 1950's & 60's. They were pressed on clear red vinyl, which I thought was really cool as a kid.
