ghost,

Big fan of Bonamossa. But I don't have any of his live recordings unfortunately. 
Kenny Wanye too. I have Ledbetter Heights and it's great. 
Never heard of Ian Seagle though.

As always, thanks for the feedback and recommendations. I'll listen to them all. 
N

Today I needed more Moondog matinee first thing. The vocals Peter Barnato's are amazing.

Then on to Montrose, Paper Money. The final albumn with Sammy Hagar. 

Whats going on in your world?

While keeping up with "The minority report", and watching the vintage videos of the Ginger Baker, I decided to listed to Masters of Reality featuring Ginger Baker this morning.

More Joanne Shaw Taylor. Today's choice was White Sugar. Great albumn. 
While I prefer the sound of her Les Paul, she is fantastic on her Fender on this albumn. The Entire CD is great. I like the title cut "White sugar" as well as "Blackest day".

Thanks for keeping me straight ghost!

ghosthouse, 

Not sure what the issues were within the KWS band as far as collaboration. However Kenny was very young at the time of the release of Ledbetter Heights. Looks like he would have been about 17 or 18, (If my calculations are correct). 

N

This morning my good friend arcam88 reminded me of the band that was the first live rock concert I attended. The headliner was Aerosmith. However the warm up band was R.E.O. Speedwagon. It was a great show. This was R.E.O. before they went "wimpy".

So today I listened to several oldies. However two songs that stand out today. First is "Lost in a Dream". This was 1974, without Kevin Cronin.

The second song is from R.E.O/T.W.O., it's "How the story goes". This one has Kevin on vocals but it's always been Gary Richrath who has impressed me. I'm an Aerosmith fan also, earlier recordings. But I have to give the best of show to R.E.O. that evening. 

N

ghosthouse, 

Listened to KWS. It's a great listen. Going to add it to my collection. I agree that Ledbetter Heights may have a slight edge but Kenny's playing is amazing. I need to more of his 

Ian Siegel is up next. I'll let you know. 

N

ghosthouse,

I agred with your assessment on Joanne Shaw Taylor's playing being somewhat economical on her albumns/CD. However I suggest viewing this link to see her at full tilt.

Best,
N

The FabulousThunderbirds, Tuff Enough. 
The Vaughan Brothers, Family style.
Oh Stevie and Jimmy....

Lenny Kravitz, "5." full CD. Very well recorded.
Also Lenny, songs "It's not over till its over", "Are you gonna go my way", aslo recorded well.

New Robin Trower, again. Robins guitar sounds as good as ever.

Going in for AC/DC, Highway to Hell, the guitar work on "Night Prowler" is epic.

N

This morning so far I've listened to UFO, Lights Out, 1977 on CD. 

Crack the sky, on CD Safety in numbers. Great song " Nuclear apathy".

Then, here's one you might not have heard, Automatic Man. 1976-1977. Formed by Michael Shrieve of Santana, (Drummer)and included guitarist Patt Thrall.
Kind of a progressive rock jazz fusion sound. 

From there Thrall met Pat Travers and recorded one of my favorite Travers recordings Crash and burn. Very well recordrd on vinyl and CD. 

N

Government mule, Shout. Great 2 CD set with tons of guest appearances. 
Ben Harper, Elvis Costello, Dr.John, Jim James, Grace Potter, Ty Taylor, Toots Hibbert, Dave Mathews, Myles Kennedy, Steve Winwood, and of course Glenn Hughes.  

N

ghosthouse, 

I did dig into Ian a bit. Listened to Meat and potatoes. I liked it, and I saw some YouTube links. He's quite a comedic entertainer and stage presence as well as a talented musician. 

Gov't mule has some great music. Basically a side project the Alman abrothers band. They have a large discography. "Shout" is a great starting place. As I mentioned above it has a bunch of great talent on it.

arcamm88 has mentioned City Boy in another post. Have you had the pleasure of hearing their stuff? Dinner at the Ritz is fantastic. 

N

Gary Moore, Corridors of power
The Flower Kings, Unfold the future 
Haken, Restoration

N

ghosthouse, 

Thanks for the kind words. I try to keep an open mind about music of all kinds. I'll listen to any recommendation regardless of style.

Just finished Golden Earing, "Moontan". Candy's going bad" and "Are you receiving me" are killer.  We'll , "Radar Love" is ok too.
 
N

ghosthouse, 

More Moondog matinee. 

https://youtu.be/3IofaSBUtDE

N

ghost,

I mighthave confused you with the Moondog Matinee reference above. It's not a Golden Earing LP. Im refering to the band "Moondog Matinee".

Sorry....

ghosthouse, 

For your guidance.

https://youtu.be/hsCkeJamgxk
N

ghosthouse, 

Love Cuby, or is it pronounced (Cube-E), especially the first song "Window of my eyes". Wasn't aware of the of the Golden Earing connection. Great intel. I'm a big GE fan they have been ardound for.....ever. like 40 ablums. 

Did you ever listen to Moondog Matinee? 

jafant, 

Your Harold Mabern is a cool customer. I listend to a few songs. One with Nora Jones which was great. Also "You don't know what love is". I'm not a jazz expert by any means but he is a beautiful pianist. 

N

falconquest,

Jow S. is amazing. He is another one of my guitar hero's also...arcam88 and I saw him live in Cincinnati at the Taft theater in 2007. As always Joe put a great show. The Taft is an amazing place to see an artist of his caliber. Very good accoustics and seating and a very adult setting.

 I sometimes use his Joe Satriani self titled CD when I'm demo-ing my rig to friends. 

Can't forget Chickenfoot or his contributions to Mick Jagger and Deep Purple. Great addition to the thread. 

N

Hey ghosthouse, falconquest, 

I hope you dont mind but I peeked in your system profiles :)
How do you guys like the Morrow SP4's? Morrow is a local business and I was considering a change.

Thanks,
Nutty

falconquest, 

Thanks for the input. Like I said earlier Morrow is a local business where I live. Literally just a few miles. I'm considering a change. Using Straigtwire Crescendo on my CD, AQ Cheetah on Preamp to Amp and AQ Gibralter DBL/Biwire. 

Thanks again!

N

ghosthouse, 

Thanks for the input on the Morrow cables and the Clear Day's as well. I've been reading a lot about Clear Day Double Shotgun and they seem like a sound investment.  But Mike Morrow is literally a few miles from my house.  I could probably set an appointment to see some product first hand.  I am currently using Audioquest Gibralter double biwire, for your guidance. I'll let you know if I make any changes.

N

Playing in my system today, a little band from Louisville, KY. "Tantric", self titled. First albumn of theirs is really good. It's not guitar hero music though. The CD is recorded very well. If you haven't heard it, check it out.

These next two came up on random play on YouTube today.
4 non blonds, "Whats up" and The Cranberries, Zombie. 

A nod to falconquest,  I listend to Joe Satriani, Flying in a blue dream. 

N

Sweet, Level Headed.

You may not have hear of this band before but I don't think it qualifies for the "Obscure band thread".....Cry of love. Only two albumns. "Diamonds & debris" and "Brother". Great vocals. Lead singer Robert Mason spent some time in Warrant after Jani Lane passed and worked with The Lynch Mob. 

https://youtu.be/k1vEONnGdPo

N

rlawry,

Golden Earing is amazing....20 plus albumns and close to 50 years! What else do you need to say.

I remember Charlie also...arcam88 sent me a YouTube link to one of the songs a few weeks ago. 

N

Robin Trower- BLT/Truce Double, CD

N

Glam band....Darkness, permission to land. "I believe in a thing called love" is a great song. The rest is so so.

Jet, Get Born.

N

Peter Frampton performing "Black Hole Sun" written by Soundgarden.
https://youtu.be/nL40Ak5QV6I

N

Red hot chili peppers, Blood sugar sex magic. 
Black Crowes, Shake your money maker. 
The Police, Ghost in the machine. 

N

Today some old some new. I listened to this CD earlier in the thread but I played it again today because of one particular song. On CD...AC/DC, High Voltage.  

The song is "Soul Stripper". Even if your not an AC/DC fan this is a great song. It's worth a listen. It has such a different groove that you might not expect.  It has bongos, in the beginning of the song and some tambourine. 
https://youtu.be/6FpeX7JqdyI

Bon Scott was in my opinion was irreplaceable. And Angus it a guitar hero, IMHO.
Oh, and " Can I sit next to your girl" is great also. 

And just for the kix, I cranked up Miranda Lambert's "Gunpowder and lead". It's  a fantastic song. 

Also Cage the Elelphant, "Cigarette daydreams". Good recording, pretty good song. 

N

radfrad, 

Me too! Great selections today. 

N

jafant- I am unfamiliar with Cecil. I'll check it out.

N

Beth Hart and Joe Bonamossa, Don't explain.... Great vocalist on this collaboration.
Beth Hart has some great solo material as well. Check her out. 
https://youtu.be/Yim-elDkkyA

N

Ok, do we have any Ana Popovic' fans in the house?  She is an amazing guitarist. She is Serbian but they are a Tennessee based blues band. Lots of good material. 
Her "Ana Popovic' Live in Amsterdam" is recorded very well. 
Here is a sample.

https://youtu.be/f49BQUJ7mN4

N

gshephardbuster,

Big Styx fan. If your playing greatest hits,  your in for a long night of listening :)

N

ozzy,  

My sincerest apologies.  The High Voltage I was listening to was a downloaded version. However it's is worth a listen if you get the chance. 

N

A little more Beth....

https://youtu.be/KqA1PPCI7W0

N

jafant,

Cecil Taylor....I'm no expert on Jazz music or musicians. What I found of Cecil was mostly improv.  It's really not something I would normally listen to. However I would never attempt to discount his abilities as a musician. Im sure there are others reading who are fans of Cecil. Thanks for the recommendation. Please keep posting your favs.

N

ghosthouse, 

I have DP In Rock on download. It's been a while since I've listened. Thanks!
Also, with so much music being flooded onto the "Obscure bands" thread, thanks for giving me some direction as to a good starting point. That thread may be a little out of my wheelhouse ;^)

radfrad,
ZZ Top... great band. I have Tres Hombres. Agree with ghost, it is fantastic and recorded well, even on CD. (I remember my brother had the LP,wow!) I also have Degullo and like it quite a bit. They have so much more . I need to invest.

And I love the cut "My heads in Mississippi".  Who can forget ...."I was stumblin' through the parking lot, of an invisible seven eleven!" Should be on the "Favorite song Lyric" thread. I understand Billy has a new albumn out tnough I haven't heard it yet.

♪Thanks for keeping the thread Live everyone! ♬

Best regards,
Nutty

This morning we're rocking the foundation.
.......Listening to Corrosion of Conformity,  "Deliverance".
"Senor Limpo" and "Clean my wounds". 
https://youtu.be/yvsQsao1F88
https://youtu.be/7efYZ65aSRk
They have a ton of media.

So much music to listen to. Good times!

N

Butthole surfers, song " Pepper". Classic. 
Beck, song, "Loser".

N

ozzy,

I felt bad about misleading you. I did a quick Wikipedia check on the AD/DC High Voltage.  Looks like they originally released two different versions. One Australian version on LP with "Soul Stripper". The US of version is different and has different artwork as well. 

Looks like you can get it on CD through amazon on a remastered verion called 
AC/DC '74 Jailbreak.

N

jafant, 

How do you like Beth Hart?

N

Beth Hart and Joe Bonamossa,  Seesaw.

N

Gary Moore, Scars. Check out " Ball and chain". It's fantastic.
