Not sure what happened to my last post, but after Ummagumma and The Division Bell, a complete change of mood.

I've always been a big fan of Cowboy Junkies, but found this one more difficult to get into than the rest of their albums. It has grown on me, though:

Original 1978 vinyl LP - because I fancied listening to some kick-ass live rock 'n' roll. I know there is a lot of controversy about how "live" this actually is, but I saw Lizzy in concert in 1978 and ca attest to the fact that they were an extremely tight, powerful live band:

It is a sbd recording of the CSNY gig of that evening from tapes made by the legendary Bill Halverson who worked on a lot of their early albums. It is unavailable for sale.

I'll put my brother on the case - and maybe I'll have a copy on CD one day! Thanks for the info!

I could point you in the right direction but unfortunately it ain't allowed.

Mahler Symphony 5, BBC Philharmonic, Juanjo Mena live from the Royal Albert Hall on BBC Radio 3 on my newly serviced NAT01/NAPST which my wife collected from my Naim Audio dealer today.

Beautiful! And I would never have expected 26 new capacitors to have made such a difference!!

Simply sublime.

Haim,

That's really cool indeed.

+1. First heard Leviev on Art Pepper's Live at Ronnie Scott's. He played beautifully, so I started looking for his other albums. First I've heard of this pairing with Haden, and would really like to find a copy. Thanks for posting this Haim!

Hook,

I don't know how easy it is to get a copy of this recording which originally was released as an LP. My disc was sent by a friend from Japan. However, you have a couple of very good Milcho Leviev albums playing solo and duo with Dave Holland on the MA Recordings label. My favorites are:
