Magpie Salute CD

Its not often that I post here, but saw the review of this in Hi Fi Critic and Tidal hadn't got it, so took a gamble and blind bought it - what a winner, a heavier Black Crowes, no surprise considering its Chris Robinson's band and Marc Ford is a band member too! Its also a great recording which helps.

I actually was streaming on TIDAL not from my NAS, my typo. I did check the river and nothing listed yet for pre-release of the full album but the three tracks are available for MP3 download.

Really good SJT, especially if - like me - you like your Who high-energy and noisy.

PS Sid will be back, once I'm done with BG

Excellent to hear - on both counts!

I am a big fan of Live at Leeds (especially in the recent version where all the songs are in the right order and there is extra banter), so this sounds promising indeed.

Now I am listening to the new version of Who Came First. Sounds very good indeed. How on earth did he fit this in between Who's Next and Quadrophenia? I think I read somewhere if you want to make your own Lifehouse, all you need is Who's Next and Who Came First, but I am not sure.
