agile_one Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Jesus, Fucking, Christ! Jack Bruce and I are/were the same same age. He didn't ask me if he could die yet. WTF? I thought we had a pact? RIP, Jack. The world loves you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Cream was the only thing Eric Clapton was involved with that I ever cared about. That suggests that the key part was Jack Bruce. He gave a gift to the world with his music, and he'll be missed. Prosit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wmcmanus Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 RIP, Jack. Not so unexpected, but still very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMoney Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 R.i.p. Mr. Bruce. For as brilliant as Clapton's guitar line is on "Crossroads," Jack Bruce's bass line is right there keeping pace neck and neck. He was quite a talent.

Voltron Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 That really does hurt a lot. I love Click and Clack and all their corny humor. Tom especially seemed brilliant and I loved their joyful approach and amazing laughs. RIP Tom and condolences to Ray. That sucks to lose your big brother too early and Alzheimer's couldn't have been any fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robm321 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 This one hurts me too. I really liked the positive, human vibe of the show. It's rare these days. And now a little more rare. In my world view, he lived his life right. RIP Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyll Hertsens Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) I listen every Saturday, and to the reruns for the past two years. A breath of fresh air indeed. Condolences Ray, you're brother was a shining light. I'm sorry you'll not again be able to say.... "Ha! We're back!"

ironbut Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 I've been a fan forever and I'll miss hearing new shows. They never failed to make me laugh and I'm sure Ray won't know what to do without his brother. RIP Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullguise Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 RIP Harry Pearson, aka HP of The Absolute Sound. One of the originals in High End Audio reporting, when it meant a damn. RIP to another great one..... An email received from Chris Sommovigo via The High End Report: It is with a heavy heart that we must share with you the sad news of the passing of a legendary man. Last night, the evening of November 4th, Harry Hall Pearson Jr. passed away peacefully in his home in Sea Cliff, NY, at the age of 77. Harry will be missed by those of us who loved him as a mentor, a friend, and as the standard-bearer for our mutual pursuits in the world of audio. His legend will live on and echo throughout the audio industry, for Harry’s was the “Gold Standard” of audio journalism. His deep love of music, and the goal of realistic reproduction in the home, became the adopted enthusiasm for hundreds of thousands of audiophiles around the globe. His lexicon of audio vocabulary became the very patois with which audiophiles communicated amongst each other, especially audiophile journalists. Harry’s contributions to the audio world are both measureless and timeless. Thank you, Maestro, for everything. Memorial services are being planned, and we will share that information with you once it becomes available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironbut Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I kind of lost interest in TAS when they went to a regular format magazine. When it was still in "pocketbook" sized form, the staff that was assembled seemed more like a family or a "staff" who met regularly and enjoyed each others company. Harry really had something going in those days and I really looked forward to read he and his staffs take how the home listening experience was becoming something you could take seriously. I seldom read the audiophile press anymore but I have no problem giving HP his due. RIP HP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 RIP Manitas de Plata, my all-time favorite flamenco guitarist. He was 93 and lived a very full life (he's not sure how many children he has spawned), so it is not terribly sad news, but worthy of noting and some listening today. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29937355 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 My favorite recording has been released by different names at different times, but it is from 1963 (a good year if I say so myself) and was recorded in a medieval chapel in Arles, France. The Connoisseurs Society recorded and released it. My disc is called Manitas de Plata and Friends but there is a longer version they released as a three-record set. There are flac files floating around the web. I also like the Carnegie Hall recording and some others I cannot recall by name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
