Spinning on the Turntable now...

[GOS]

Ha! I’m still going through the box. A Little Ain’t Enough was yesterday (enjoyable... never heard it in full before... lacks Vai’s playful guitar playing that could musically match Roth and his personality) and I’ll listen to the last one in the set today.

I know it didn’t get unanimous stellar reviews at the time, but I always enjoyed Skyscraper. Eat ‘Em and Smile is still the peak of his solo work in my mind, but this one had a lot of fun moments which is what I expect from DLR.

I think Skyscraper is spectacular. I've often said on this forum, that is a title that would be excellent in surround.

I'm caught up in the Rapture! Sounds wonderful through the Surround Master!

The Who - It's Hard Original LP bought when album was released in 1982. Played at Maximum Volume. The vinyl sounds better than the stuff being made today!

I have to say Skyscraper on new modern listen is fantastic and hasn't dated like a lot of similar aged albums.

It was a cover of My Babe by Keith Richards’ solo band that led me to Little Walter.

The cover is a pretty plain, but the music is fantastic.

The other day, @gillette shared something by Gary Moore which reminded me that I wanted to get something from his jazz-rock era in my vinyl library. Of the three Colosseum II albums, Wardance is my favorite.

I remember going out to buy the first Cinderella album after seeing them open on that tour.

It’s a shame we never got an official live video or live album from DLR with that lineup. I managed to find an audience version of the show I was at in California. Not great sound, but a nice recording to have.

I’m trying to guess (without looking on Wiki) what your other three bands with Sheehan would have been. Mr. Big would be my first guess. Maybe Talas and Niacin? Or Sons of Apollo?

I saw Sheehan with Mr. Big warming up for Rush, Niacin at NEARfest and Sons of Apollo on Cruise to the Edge and DLR, of course.

LOVE it! If you are ever in Memphis, i HIGHLY recommend a trip to the museum!

I actually lived in Memphis around 1995. Visited Sun Studios. Didn't make it to Stax. I certainly will if I go back.

A Formal Horse - Here Comes a Man from the Council with a Flamethrower

Very eclectic prog-metalish. Not overly heavy, but heavy enough.
