The L.A. 4 - Concierto de Aranjuez

 

An awesome recording of David Bowie impersonating rock stars like Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan or Iggy.

Really dig the mastering on this, for what it is.

Thanks for sharing Dan.

Ditto on the Amanda Palmer tribute, just purchased.  Also will be listening soon to another Bowie tribute album, Lea DeLaria's House Of David.

 

EDIT: Holy Shit is ^^^ this puke-inducing.  I had heard Lea had a decent voice - she does - but she completely redoes Bowie tunes in a crappy lounge jazz way.  NOT recommended.

Off to listen to some GOOD jazz:

I'm really excited about Spark.

Me:  Ossicles -- proggy, rocky, contemporary sounding.

Saw ACDC in late 1974 at Southampton University Student's Union.  Which was the dining hall converted on a Saturday into a rock venue, with the band on a Dexion and floorboard stage we put up in half an hour.  Hot, crowded and impossibly loud at a time when bands were seriously loud anyway.  Way before anything remotely like a risk assessment, fire hazard issues, and busted eardrums.

Oddly, while I have not seen AC/DC, I did see Peter Murphy when he was on his above stretching tour. 1990 or so? I didn't know who he was, but a friend had an extra ticket.

I saw him I think on that same tour. Some drunk asswipe kept yelling for Bela Lugosi's Dead and Peter let him have it after a while. Good show all around....

I miss those days.

Saw U2 at the San Jose State Student Union ballroom. It was a free concert and they were promoting "Boy".

It was the last concert in that room. The makeshift stage was rocking and reeling and man was it loud!

I only just got around to buying some Peter Murphy music.  My exposure to him was a nine inch nails radio broadcast.

 

he has a great voice.

I saw him with his old group, Bauhaus, on the reunion tour.  All we saw of him were various (clothed) close-ups of him vamping about somewhere offstage on a TV that they wheeled on stage for the entire first song.  Dude knows how to make an entrance.

Bauhaus’s “In the Flat Field” still remains one of my favourite albums, followed by closely “Mask”.
