What's Playing Now

[SpeakerLabFan]

The Band - Cahoots
(1971, Capitol)




includes Life Is A Carnival - which is good to hear heading into a holiday weekend - and a nice cover of Dylan's When I Paint My Masterpiece - always reminds me how much fun it was to explore the streets of Rome on a visit with family a few years ago

Looking at the front cover picture: this man seems to be sad, tired, depressed. He apparently is not happy with the results of the studio sessions for this album: the dynamics are rather poor. Kinney pressing's mostly are a little bit disappointing. Anyone able to hear the drum's cymbals or hi-hat played by Gary Mallaber? The vocals are clear and forceful.
Listen to the bottleneck guitar on track B4 "Out to sea" played by Wayne Perkins.
This album is a calm one, appropriate for this rainy sunday morning while preparing lunch.
The songs are not as sad as John David looks like on the pictures.
Anyone with a different opinion?

Greatful psychedelia cover art by Alton Kelly and Stanley Mouse. They created many fantastic Lp covers for Grateful Dead, Journey et al. Cult!

Iconic cover art by Keef.
Produced by Tony Visconti, who contributed also bass, piano and guitar.
Mick Ronson guitar. His Les Paul sounds were very special.
This is a 180g remastered 2005 reissue from a Czechoslowakia pressing factory with IMHO rather disappointing dynamics. Under pressure they have to produce to many vinyl Lps in these days of "European vinyl revival boom". The young rock music vinyl fans don't know about the quality of those old vinyl issues of yesterday.... Or do they know???

Songwriter Mark Eitzel vocals and guitar.
Superb guitar work and production.
Fine dynamics.
Listen to "This year", a song in the style of the Doors with Jim Morrison.

Yeah, everybody knows that's pricey. I saw him last fall in Seattle with Willie Nelson's son Lukas' band Promise Of The Real. Really great show with a great set list including Cinnamon Girl and Down By The River, iirc.

Live concerts only for rich people? Antisocial? How much does a concert of Neil Young cost in USA?
Live concert visits as a Status-symbol?
P.S. I'm not a socialist......

when I saw NY last October 4th in Seattle, the tickets were $82 each. It was a smaller venue and the seats were about 20 rows from the stage on the right side - WAMU theater near Centurylink field.

PS - Neil would be proud of me. I'm drinking USDA Certified Organic & sustainable beer - Aslan Brewing Batch 15 IPA.
