another great Dead show from the Europe '72 tour.  May 10th at the Concertgebouw...the multi-track transfers are "just exactly perfect."

Hard to go wrong with any of the  Europe '72 show :-)

agreed Pete ...wonderful combination that you cannot imagine working. Great combination of voices & great songs. 

Not much filler on that album.

Astonishing to find this album is six years old. I hope they have produced later stuff and myabe Burt and others will point me in the right direction....

They didn't make so much albums so have a try with the earlier stuff....

Knee Deep in the North Sea, in my eyes the best

The albums after your mentioned album I find less good.

Mentally preparing for the 2nd and longer day of the high end

"This is an excellent disc of lute music from the early 16th Century. Francesco da Milano was one of the great lute virtuosi and composers of the time and the title of this CD, "Il Divino" is the title given to him by his contemporaries. It is not hard to see why. The music here is among the finest of Renaissance lute music - often very beautiful with the melancholy of the time often to the fore, but sometimes more joyous and dance-like, it has a depth and quality which makes it far more than just the pleasant background which, in my experience, some lute music can be. The few pieces included here by other composers are just as good." - Amazonian comment

Kuchar/Janacek Phil: Smetana Ma Vlast

Well-recorded. The performance is decent but rather generic.

2014 Music Matters reissue of the 1964 Blue Note Records release.

I think I must be alone on this forum as the only person never to have heard (or been aware that I've heard) anything by the Grateful Dead. 

Clive - Guilty! But its something I keep meaning to remedy by exploring one or two albums from the Grateful Dead back catalogue. Plus the same for Creedence Clearwater Revival as well. Which albums would be a good place to start?

Pete, thanks for the reminder. Another album I'd thought about buying when released but never got around to it. Now on my to buy list!

Keith Jarrett - Handel Suites for Keyboard.

I don't have any other recordings of these Handel Suites. Therefore, I cannot compare it with other musicians. However, I think Keith Jarrett played theses suites very nice.

I guess (but can't be sure, not having heard any of their material) that this is 180 degrees removed from Grateful Dead. But I like it. Features Emily Remler, who was one of my favourite jazz guitarists, on six tracks.

Recorded 43 years ago this month. How come it still sounds sooooo much better than many 'modern' recordings!?

More Jarrett:

With two of my favourite songs - Little Girl Blue and Old Folks

Prompted by the earlier discussion on here about Peter G v Phil C and what generation of Genesis was best.  I think the band were perhaps at there most creative with this album. 

Agreed that this is possibly Genesis at their most creative, artistic pinnacle. But there's also Foxtrot to consider, with the undeniable masterpiece of 'Supper's Ready'. And then what about Nursery Cryme, with 'Musical Box' and 'The Fountain of Salmacis'? I can see a Genesis afternoon coming on...

Grant Green.

My current go to album this stunning album has everything psychedelic blues, blues rock, jazz - the Donald Byrd title track plus a stunning version of the Ramsey Lewis classic 'Wade In The Water '. 

HARVEY MANDEL Cristo Redentor (1968 first UK issue 10-track stereo LP

Just listening to Ron Wood, feel like playing, lovely live feel to this studio album with friends like slash and billy gibbons.
