Kansas - Leftoverture
David Coverdale - Whitesnake
Stevie Wonder - Innervisions
Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
Yes - Going For The One

Quote from: Fishy on September 27, 2024, 08:52:57 AMAlways remember listening to the Saturday Rock show or whatever it was called then with Richard Skinner playing I think it was the first 2/3 tracks from side one then Two Suns in the Sunset then after playing saying something along the lines of . Well I hope that's cheered everybody up..

It's pretty grim listening tbh . With rehashed songs that weren't good enough for The Wall.. just more of moany old Rog banging on about the war.. his father etc etc

I doubt I'll ever listen to it ever again

I'm on a Facebook group where we post what we are listening to and some guy, whenever playing any Roger Waters, just writes 'Dead dad klaxon'

Received today: Cheap Trick - Authorized Greatest Hits. A double disc compilation of tracks chosen for inclusion by the band.
Very well mastered and nice, quiet vinyl.......and it cost the princely sum of £14.67 including delivery  

Loads of other cheap vinyl deals here:

As a company that provides an (essential) service using overhead distribution, I believe BT/Openreach do have certain rights to provide overhead wires across private property. This was sometimes referred to as 'flying rights'. The same rights would be afforded to electricity supply companies. However, it seems that the company have always been reluctant to enforce this. Probably, in this age of social media, they have one-eye on negative press.
Other companies now have permission to use Openreach poles to supply customers (at a cost) so even if you decide to be supplied by another company you may still be fed with an overhead feed.
The reason is cost, full stop. They used to say that underground cable was six-times the cost of overhead. When I built my place, I laid duct out to the buried cable that fed the poles in the street. The cable was intercepted in a small footway box and this meant I avoided an overhead feed fixed to the gable-end of the bungalow. I had the neatest phone feed in the street. It helped that I worked for BT though! 

BT/Openreach is one of the most dysfunctional organisations I've ever dealt with. I know, I worked for them for 44 years!

Vaping - soon to be identified as a major health risk.........certainly one that needs to be taxed in order to mitigate its cost to the NHS

Quote from: David L on September 18, 2024, 08:58:43 PMA rock band should play live, with the caveat, expressed above, that any (minor) embellishments may be pre-recorded in order to best replicate the recorded work.
The main instrumentation, as defined by each band member's role, should be performed live with the use of triggers controlled by the band if necessary.
I draw the line at miming to pre-recorded vocals. For me that is the differentiation between a rock show and theatre.
Rush have used technology to 'enhance' their live show for years but I am confident that they strived to achieve their live sound with an integrity that many bands (or their management) in this day and age choose not to concern themselves with.

So I guess you won't be flying out to go see Motley Crue then

I wouldn't walk to see Motley Crue if they were playing at The Elm Tree (nearest pub)!
