JohnS Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Listening to Deep Purple's 40th Anniversary release of their famous Machine Head album featuring their best know line-up, the Mark II line-up (Vocals: Ian Gillan, Guitar: Ritchie Blackmore, Keyboards: Jon Lord, Bass: Roger Glover and Drums: Ian Paice). I'm enjoying the 1997 Roger Glover mix which features alternative solos, a few different takes of instruments and other additions (i.e. such as Ian Gillan's famous "break a leg, Frank" comment in Smoke on the Water). Overall this mix is a little cleaner than the original 1972 vinyl release. It's nice to listen to a fresh take on such classic tracks. 2

I saw them in Worcester MA in 87 with that lineup. Circumstances got me back stage with the band and that was nutz. Stories not for this thread lol ?. I still spin that Perfect Strangers CD after that experience. The short of it I was fairly deaf for 3 days. 3rd row seats and they set all amps at 11. After a week of ringing in my ears I recovered. I did pretty much stopped going to live shows after that. 2

captaincaveman Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Speaking of Joe Walsh, I always loved this cover. Fun fact, Joe went to high school with my father. 3

Deeg Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 I'm listening to John Prine pretty much exclusively since the news came that he was intubated and critical with COVID-19. One of the greatest songwriters America has ever produced. 1
armada_crew Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Video from the movie Control. Ian, Bernie, Hooky, and the human drum machine Morris, wish I could have seen them live.
The Squiggler Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Hard to pick just one, but this was the first Dylan album I ever bought (on vinyl) and I think it's still my favorite (I've got a pretty extensive collection of Dylan records--every studio album between '62 and '79 except 'self portrait'--and 'Desire' has gotten more mileage than any of the others by a long shot). Great for kicking back with a smoke an relaxing. This Donovan album contains some of my favorite morning music. Perfect for C&C, and almost long enough to endure a churchill. Sides 3&4 are my favorite, but the whole thing is quite good.
