What are you listening to Part the Third


Voltron

Recommended Posts

I have done a lot of listening in the last week, but here is what I am listening to - now

Band On The Run

Band On The Run
by Paul McCartney (1973 (2024))

https://album.link/i/1717135189

Example:

Underdubbed? - Yep. This is pretty much the original version and mix of the album - without the overdubbing and orchestration and extras added. -- Much more of a rock album.  I really have to try to listen to it with new ears. Forget what I know and hear what is there, not what isn't. The example is such a Jam.. I know this album so well, I am not sure I would have liked this album better than the original on release (first listen of both), but I know I sure like it now.

That was always my other favourite track on the album.  I was so smitten with that (as a B-side), I learned that riff on the piano when I was still collecting singles and not albums.

Me:  I can listen to music again! 

Currently:  Young Gods, TV Sky  not sure why this is the first album I chose, but it's as great as I remember

On deck:  Kyros, Mannequin

Oh hey - they have a little Archive player - not sure it will work:

I came across this performance on youtube, where someone took this recording and made a concert video from from 16mm film cuts from the tour. Anyway, it sounded fantastic and a great version of the band and songs. I did a little more research and it was a BBC Radio broadcast. That led me to The Archive and happiness. They were in their full progyness, huge solos, huge mixing of songs, fun stuff for a Yesfan.

Ballads

Ballads
by John Coltrane (1963)

https://album.link/i/1440747672

Example:

Such a deep catalog of goodness to continue to dig through... 

 

When CDs first came out there were a few CDs packs (two LPs in one CD purchase!). This was part of a Trane double and along with a Marvin Gaye double, the most memorable.

^^ I can understand that - it is short. I was sad when it finished up so fast. 

So

Brothers And Sisters

Brothers And Sisters
by The Allman Brothers Band (1973)

https://album.link/i/1455534876

Example:

I started out this album a little disappointed with the opening track. Not bad, just not much there. Then it rolled into Ramblin' Man which I always liked, but it is a good tune, not a great one for me. From there on the album just keeps building on itself,  by the time that I got to the 7.5 minute version of Jessica (above), I was all in. With the lovely coda of Pony Boy at the end. Happy to have this locked into my memory as a good album.
