    Led Zeppelin-Sgt Page's Badgeholders Club Band

    3-cd bootleg set of the infamous LA Forum show where Linda Lovelace introduced the band and Keith Moon joined them on stage (w/Bonzo) for Whole Lotta Love. One of the best versions of No Quarter of the tour...perhaps ever, 40 minutes of pure inspirational improvisation. The LA Forum was magical for the mighty Zep. They played 6 nights of over 3 hours each. MAGICAL.

    Bonnie Raitt - Souls Alike

    NRCD19.jpg

    Even with the knowledge going in that this would be a departure from her usual stylings and mix, I found this album a tough listen to enjoy. Her aim is to showcase the songwriting abilities of some (relatively) unknowns, which is a worthy one. But, the arrangements and production are--for the most part--sketchy and flat.

    Too bad. She is, and will remain, one of my favorite blues/pop artists. However, her artistry IMHO is not as a producer.

    I also love Sarah Mclachlan. My only complaint is that her cd's have the same old songs and there is no new material.

    Diana Krall has a very sexy voice.

    U2- Boy
    U2- October

    Classic U2 while Bono could still fit his head thru the door. Nothing too impressive since Joshua Tree and some good stuff on Actung Baby. The earlier stuff is pretty edgy (no pun intended) and raw. Some sounds a tad dated, enjoyable nonetheless.

    I never liked the Dixie Chicks before the "controversy"...

    But NOW...

    I still don't like them.

    Natalie Maines' voice grates on me like fingernails on a chalkboard. This is unusual since I am generally a sucker for a sexy southern female drawl. Anyway I was flipping up the channels the other day and discovered there is a Natalie Maines clone...Miranda Lambert! Sounds just like her...even looks a little like her (maybe a little easer on the eyes). Same irritating, grating twangy voice...just in a better looking package.

    Allman Brothers- "Eat a Peach" followed by Joe Sample-"Carmel"
    on vinyl and breaking in the new TT. I coveted Troy's VPI enough to warrant the purchase of a new VPI Scout (at a very reasonable price i might add) and am very pleased so far.

    Currently spinning is "Cure For Pain" by Morphine. I think I'm going to go with some mid 80's Red Hot Chili Peppers next.

    Rush-Exit Stage Left

    One of their better live compliations. Only complaint I have is that you can tell it's recorded from multiple sources. Why can't Rush just put out 1 full concertsinstead of parts of several. Just a mild rant.

    Silvertone, 1998

    The title says it all. Buddy's sidekick for decades passed away shortly after this live set at the club. There was magic afoot every time this duo took the stage and this album is a great example of it.
