ALL ABOUT MUSIC #2 - Non Surround, Not Covered In Other Threads

[Clint Eastwood]

Thanks to Clint Eastwoods recommendation I picked up Rush 2112 40th anniversary for a very low price.
I never had this one not listening much to Rush at the time. The sound quality is excellent as are the bonus tracks.
I looked at the 1976 concert on the dvd. B&W grainy video as expected but great sound. I will get to the modern covers on disc 2.
Recommended. The only other Rush I have is the surround version(s) of Moving Pictures the songs I like very much.

Glad you enjoyed that one...not everybody will like the sound quality...but at that price point I felt it was worth mentioning....here is another one

A lot of us think about the past...but these guys were different...their "one hit" focused on the future

Number one in the summer of 1969, including the week of the Woodstock festival.
These guys are local heroes, the only act in history from Lincoln, Nebraska with a #1 record.

When you consider all the great bands...true legendary bands...that were on the charts in 1969...getting a number 1 song was no small feat...consider this...one of my favorite bands during that period..Creedence Clearwater Revival...NEVER had a #1 song in the US on Billboard's Top 100...they were close a lot of times...Proud Mary..Bad Moon Rising..Fortunate Son..Who'll Stop The Rain...they had so many good songs during that period...but didn't make it to the top...so you should be proud of that accomplishment by the local guys.

Always liked that song, couldn't remember who it was by, was it really that long ago?!

Trying to organize my music collection a little better(ran out of space)and decided to dust one off and spin it...Laura Nyro Angel In The Dark SACD...not surround but it sounds SO GOOD

Got my copy of Saturday Night Fever - Director's Cut......with Dolby True HD audio.

So, it's pretty grainy, which considering the era, I totally love it. Colors are saturated....closeups are wonderful. The soundtrack is killer, IMO. It's not immersive at all....very front centric......but it ROCKS!

Bee Gees sound like a rock and roll band in this release. Excellent.....very punchy and crisp. What a great purchase. I'm going to get Mrs Gos to watch this with me later....you never know. :yikes

Gene, one of my very favorite lines in this movie is when Travolta asks his boss: "Why can't you pay us on Friday instead of on Monday" and his boss replies....."If I pay you on Friday you'll be broke by Monday...think about the future" and Travolta, thoroughly agitated, replies "F*CK The Future" and the boss wisely replies: "No, the FUTURE F*CKS YOU!" :yikes

I'm awaiting a 4K restoration of this classic.

Well, in this era of less support from the labels you gotta do what you gotta do...... I can give you a free concert of my nose humming for half of that price, and you can accompany me to work, do my work for me, and lots of other cool stuff! :banana:

So are you saying, Ringo is Trump? Trumps wife almost barefoot like Paul, the Chinese wife pointing like George, so the Chinese President must be John.
BTW: great vid of the Doobie Brothers with a creative twist to an old tune.

You'll have to ask Tornado RED......he posted this great juxtaposition of a classic album.

Trump is TRUMP! Ringo has a lovely disposition!
