Led Zeppelin-Physical Graffiti (9/10) well color me surprised. i did a one eighty on this. It is a very long LONG listen but i was hypnotized the entire time. So many of these songs are groove based. and when this band locks in on this record......WOW. Bonham's drums are MASSIVE on here. Glad i cracked this album. Mick6 points

Rush- Clockwork Angels Having discovered Rush in 2011, I am so grateful that I discovered them just in time to be hyped and enjoy an album cycle from these guys. I love this band a lot, and in 2012, I declared this album was my favourite of the year. Then I dipped with it and I struggled with the album, and now, twelve years later, it's come full circle and i am a huge fan of this album again. Brilliant work.6 points

Judas Priest- Screaming For Vengeance Judas Priest- Point Of Entry Two of my absolute favourite albums. Desert Plains and (Take These) Chains are two of the best Priest songs ever.5 points

I spent some time reading Quincey's bio and was just blown away by how many artists he worked with and all the music he helped create. I knew he was influential but the sheer magnitude of his contributions was breath taking. He played trumpet with an orchestra that backed up Elvis Presley on this tv appearances. He produced Lesley Gore's hit It's My Party. His work with Frank Sinatra was enormous and other jazz artists like Ella Fitzgerald and George Benson. Thriller is in a category by itself of course. I had an album of his Sounds and Stuff like that...had a collaboration with Ashford/Simpson and Chaka Khan that was so good. Fun bossa nova song he wrote in the 60's was used as the theme for Austin Powers movie. I could just go on and on, I am really saddened by this loss. He was a genius and I am grateful for all the fabulous music I enjoyed thanks to him. RIP5 points

Guess Betts will have to be assaulted by someone new tonight https://x.com/chelsea_janes/status/18516767425507123945 points

I have no doubt that they will put out more product. The question is will it be exciting or just a rehashes of the same stuff that's already been recycled? Exciting doesn't mean "more trinkets" Exciting means live or rare audio material. We're getting older and de-cluttering, in general. Leave off with the 'exclusive' crap.5 points

Rolling Stones-Exile On Main Street (7/10) I love like when there are proper songs on here (Rocks Off, Tumbling Dice, Sweet Virginia, Loving Cup, Shine A Light) but there's just too many like short blues jams for me to fully enjoy this one. Mick5 points

I just read this. Sad, but he did have some health issues. Whilst Maiden dispensed with his services in 1981, his legacy will be the two fine albums he made with them. RIP Paul.5 points

Ozzy (or likely a rep) Tweeted something about supporting Lee to which Eddie Trunk said, how about crediting and paying Lee for his work on Bark At The Moon, etc? That would be support.5 points

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Except for bullets. Those stay with you forever. Glad he's going to be okay, that's pretty much a miracle outcome considering the multiple gunshots.5 points

I guess I need to adopt Utah as my 3rd favorite team. I am obviously a Wild fan, but I was born in Buffalo and my early childhood was informed by Perrault, Robert, and Martin, the French Connection. So they are number two. We moved to Salt Lake City when I was 8 and I grew up there and am a Ute alum and attended countless Stockton-Malone games, mostly at the Salt Palace, where the Salt Lake Golden Eagles were the minor league hockey team. I'm still dreading that they are going to choose a dumb name for the club, though. I was really, really hoping for Golden Eagles, although that would look to derivative of Vegas now, to those that don't know the SLC history. Back in the day we were farm club for the California Golden Seals. Remember them? I do. And I remember the KC Scouts.4 points

What absolute assholes. To grab a player during game-play is beyond the pale. How about a lifetime ban?4 points

True, there had been known audio problems previously but I doubt that was the case, it took money and more modern technology but I think they fixed the whole thing. To me it seems pretty clear that they cherry picked all the songs that didn’t previously have live video releases plus a few more. The released songs are from throughout the show so the odds seem remote that any audio defects would only have been limited to songs we already have versions of and just happened to skip Nobody’s Hero and all the TFE songs and all of 2112, etc. It’s more likely that it was a partial on purpose. Especially when even the songs they did release weren’t on all versions, you had to get the completist version for three of them. The pattern has been there with several. We got part of the AFTK show and the whole thing much later. We got part of the R30 concert and the whole thing much later. The 1974 and 1976 shows were released a couple songs at a time and the whole thing much later. They also only released half of the Presto show, which also just happened to have all the Presto songs that weren’t available anywhere else. I think it’s obviously intentional spacing it out.4 points

Saw Maiden tonight in Toronto and they KICKED ASS!!! Alex Lifeson was in attendance. As soon as it finished, I went to the Loose Moose pub downtown, and the cover band "Maiden Canada" played a great set with deep cuts like Be Quick or Be Dead, Prowler, Futureal, Remember Tomorrow...you might recognize their guitar player, it's Nico from the YouTube channel Licks of the Beast.4 points

Led Zeppelin-Presence (7/10) Probably my least fav album by them but I do enjoy Achillies Last Stand and Tea For One. Really strong songs. oh and Nobody's Fault But Mine as well. So that's most of the album........oh......well Mick4 points

Speak for yourself! That focus on the 80s makes it the best live album, IMO. Yep, I'll agree with that. The recently released concert blows the pants off ESL.4 points

And they crafted many of those songs when they were "kids" in their twenties. God forbid they grow up and had different musical interests/influences in their 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s. The fact is they outgrew many of the 70s songs.4 points

Sad. He had a rough life after Maiden, not all of it his own fault. They never outdid those 2 albums, either.4 points

i think if the production wan punch-ier i'd like it more because IMO every single RTB song played live i like so much more. the sound is beefier. Album is way too soft. Mick4 points

All that is true and I agree with you, and as a collector I want everything I can get. Heck, I would kill for stuff that even most fans around here probably wouldn't care about (Like the 1992 Irvine Meadows show that we now know was filmed by Atlantic, they were on fire at the end of that tour and there's almost no proshot video of the tour). But at the same time I try to be realistic about what to expect and what exists. I seem to be the only person on the forum that was fully expecting there to be no live stuff for the Signals box set at all, I would have been shocked if there was. There's never even been a hint that anything was saved at a professional level from that tour. Do they have simple reference recordings and such? Possibly, and even then it might not still exist in usable condition, but nothing that was ever intended for release. Every single box before that one had live stuff of varying value and length, there's no reason to believe there wouldn't have been some if they had it. And I'm confident any future boxes will, too. Likewise, I'm a little less certain, but still pretty confident, that we'll never see any more footage of any of the 1980s concert videos. And I sure hope I'm wrong about that. And I guess we'll find out soon enough when the GUP box comes, but there wasn't even a hint when the MP box was released that more footage of ESL might exist. I just think it's a longshot. But of course you're right, at least ESL and ASOH were both shot on film and I'd love remastered versions of those even if they only have the same content (although they could add Lock and Key back in). Again, I wouldn't bet my life or my house that they don't have them, but I've always been extremely pessimistic. I think those projects were outsourced back then, with short-term thinking, and the rest was trashed or has rotted away or gotten lost since. Also, as much as I want more stuff, when I see many other major bands it's pretty astonishing how much we've gotten as Rush fans over the years. Poor Van Halen fans for example never got a single live Blu-ray or official documentary, not a single live release from the original band lineup of any kind (which is a crime), there are only two official live albums in their entire career, and literally the only archive release in their entire history was the Carnal Knowledge box set released this summer with an abbreviated show from Dallas. That's it. As a collector of tons of bands Rush is way near the top in terms of releases of all kinds. So we should at least complain with some context. If you had told me in the late 90s when the band was dead that every single future tour would be filmed and released on Blu-ray and we'd have many documentaries and the 1974 concert video and the 1976 footage and some alternate songs from ATWAS and a full AFTK concert mixed by Terry Brown and a full MP show and more Permanent Waves live songs and the 1990 footage and the 1997 footage and so on I would have not believed it. Having said all that, we should have every reason to believe they still have the remaining half of the 1990 Auburn Hills show, the remaining half of the 1997 Toronto show, the 1992 Irvine Meadows show, etc. And we know for a fact many shows were professionally recorded on the Power Windows and Hold Your Fire and Counterparts and Test For Echo tours, and the London 1992 RTB tour, and the Edmonton Moving Pictures show (along with a bunch more Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures shows). Plus we know that the 1979 Hammersmith shows were recorded and filmed. That's the one that blows my mind that no one ever talks or asks about because they spoke openly about it at the time, it's not just some wild speculation. So there's a still a lot archived that we know of, and maybe a few things that we don't, but regardless it's up to the hands-on people at this point. It's not realistic to expect Geddy and Alex in their 70s to say "Hey, let's get together and spend a bunch of time digging through old boxes at a warehouse to see if we can find hidden gems of ourselves!" It's out of their hands and I don't blame them for saying "I don't know, ask someone else" at this point. Maybe we'll still get something this fall for the 50th.4 points
