They are a good live band. First time I saw them was in a tent before their first album came out with about 150 other people.

That's the best way to see a band isn't it, on their way up, looking forward to them.  

Beautiful music.  Qobuz download.

Certainly is as I saw Texas two weeks later in a room with about 50 people in it.  Prepare yourself for a singalong evening at the Deacon gig.

Some late evening mellow blues.............live radio broadcast.

Streaming disc 2 from Naim rip.

The woman without childr... Errr... Without a shadow, in what was reportedly, at the time, the most expensive opera recording ever made. It's not ideal, but a trailblazer of a performance with a cast to die for. Possibly best work Solti has done in the studio IMO.

Bruce Springsteen. Working On A Dream. On CD from 2009. Continuing my journey through my Springsteen holdings with this, my most recent addition. I've had only a few listens and It's growing on me. My favorite track is the brilliant opener "Outlaw Pete".

First play of this - sounding good.   Tidal.

I guess I really should remember that record cover but now I'm not so sure... 

Nikhil Banerjee - India's Maestro Of Melody (Live Concert Vol. 1)

I understand the initial difficulties in getting into Indian classical music - the odd tuning, the introductory bits (Alap) where it sounds like they're tuning up (I've grown to love these), the length etc., but on another level, given the number of folk here who love jazz (this stuff is all about improvisation) and guitar wig-outs (Clapton's live soloing with Cream was directly influenced by these guys), I'm sort of surprised more aren't into it.

Banerjee was a mixture of sublime lyricism in the slow bits (the Alaps and Jors), and Hendrix-level  technique in the fast bits (the Gats) and there's a lot of his live stuff available (he much preferred live to the studio). 

This Raag Malkauns is long (over an hour) and possible not a thing for a first-timer, but (and I hate to say this) if you're pushed for time, scoot to around the 47 minute mark as he and his equally wonderful tabla player Samir Chatterjee start to really smoke.

If you can crack Indian classical there is literally a whole world of exploration and wonder to be had.

The Black Crowes, Croweology, had the pleasure of watching these live years ago at Wembley and they were excellent.  This is a very enjoyable accoustic album and well worth a listen.  Flac via Audirvana/Hugo
