Pink Floyd, "Cruel But Fair", two-CD set recorded at the LA Sports Arena on 26th April '75. Great performance in front of a very lively audience. Gilmour is on fire, while Waters sounds utterly miserable, railing against the audience, the security, Gilmour and just about everyone else.
It's an extraordinarily good and atmospheric audience recording. It may have been done by Mike "The Mike" Millard, a famous 1970s taper who pretended to be disabled, hiding his Nakamichi and AKG set up under a wheelchair.
Tracks:
Raving & Drooling
Gotta be Crazy
Shine on You Crazy Diamond Pt 1
Have a Cigar
Shine on You Crazy Diamond Pt 2
Dark Side of the Moon

On the black stuff :-
Some superb Robin Trower guitar work.
Followed by :-
Enjoying the first play of - Bryce Dressner: St. Carolyn by the Sea
Guess what I am well and truly infected!
Don't ask me why,
Not the biggest fan of country rock but this album is ground braking -
1st press vinyl.
Has it somehow stopped? The ground that is.
My favourite later album, his 36th, has phenomenal bass on track 1. It's a good test of your amplifier's capacity to hold the speaker cones in check!
G
With Joe Louis Walker playing the guitar and Charlie Haden on the bass. A 1966 Grammy Award recording.
Yet another album that passed me by - Bjork: Homogenic
IMHO probably the best reggae sampler you can get from the glory days. If you are vaguely interested in reggae get this, if you come across it that is.
