So what are you listening to?

[David L]

Eagles - On The Border
Judie Tzuke - Welcome To The Cruise
Santana - Caravanserai
Steely Dan - Can't Buy A Thrill

[Slim]

Rainbow - On Stage

Loved that at the time (some of it anyway), I seem to remember it's rather short though, isn't it?

It never really entered that pantheon of great hard rock live albums despite their popularity at the time, and despite coming after their most acclaimed record (Rising).

Leon Russell - Carney

Lonely Robot - A Model Life
Eloy - Ocean

Yes, it is short, only 64 minutes. Probably because both Mistreated and Catch The Rainbow each have a whole side reserved for them. When you think what other material could have been included, it's a shame (Tarot Woman and Stargazer, for instance)

It was very expensive when it first came out too. Often, when browsing through LPs in record stores, it always struck me how dear it was compared to other LPs of a similar ilk. I don't remember the exact price but 2112 was £3.99 when I bought it new. I think On Stage must have been 3 times the price of that at least.

The Tangent - The Slow Rust Of Forgotten Machinery

[Slim]

Gentle Giant Sight and Sound In Concert 1977

There was some great stuff on that programme, all those years ago. One that I remember especially well was the Collosseum II broadcast with Gary Moore.

Might start a Gary Moore thread, he was an underrated player in some respects.
