RE: What Did You Buy? - CRAZY-HORSE - 23-07-2017

I believe Dave Gilmour has a live dvd coming out shortly Jerome...


RE: What Did You Buy? - Jerome - 23-07-2017

Yes - the concert he did in Pompeii recently. I am not a big fan of his solo stuff except the magnificent 'About Face' album. As for the new Waters effort I am not impressed at all. He needs to call it a day.

you gotta be cruel to be kind


RE: What Did You Buy? - Jerome - 23-07-2017

So true. Sad to see him bow out with a crap effort after all those incredible concept albums. Meddle, DSOTM, WYWH, The Wall, Animals, The Final Cut, Radio KAOS, Pros & Cons and Amused to Death. How many artists in the world can say they created that many ground-breaking albums in one lifetime.


RE: What Did You Buy? - CRAZY-HORSE - 23-07-2017

ive heard the Waters album on Spotify....terrible, musically, he appeared to be rehashing old tunes. lyrically, its abysmal, and the language...
I know he's pissed off with the Trump win but using the old F-Bomb, totally not required to get the point across IMO.

our birthday gift voucher/card  purchases this morning...

[Image: 4178NU42l0L._AC_US218_.jpg]
Ray Davies - "americna"
his superb latest solo set from earlier this year!

[Image: 41ByiIsz+LL._AC_US218_.jpg]
Rolling Stones - "blue and lonesome"
their blues covers set from last year or early this year....
its raw, its bluesy, and I don't know any of the the covers
except one or two so it comes as a fresh new album to me.

[Image: 51HiC3MtjfL._AC_US218_.jpg]
Elton John - "don't shoot me, im only the piano player"
has been on my 'to purchase' list for some time, by chance, happened
to see it in a discount bin today

[Image: 41zATT-NalL._AC_US218_.jpg]
Toto -  "IV"
another one ive had on my list for a long time, I do own the vinyl,
but I now, at last, have it on cd courtesy of a discount bin...
looking forward to hearing "Africa" in crystal clear cd sound finally...
BTW, "Africa" is as close as you can get to the "perfect" song IMO!


RE: What Did You Buy? - Jerome - 27-07-2017

And Rosanna as well!


RE: What Did You Buy? - CRAZY-HORSE - 02-08-2017

the last batch of giftcard purchases for my birthday:

[Image: 51M36ePbt9L._AC_US218_.jpg]

David Bowie - "never let me down"
not a great album, already have it on vinyl but only need a couple to complete
my cd collection so I bought it...

[Image: 51i6JUeVgUL._AC_US218_.jpg]

Jeff Beck - "blow by blow"
loved his album from last year, or was it the beginning of 2017???
so I thought i'd try something from his back catalogue

[Image: 417u6A9DxLL._AC_US218_.jpg]

Jim Croce - "the collection"
always been a fan but never owned anything...I do now!

[Image: 61AhcABGm2L._AC_US218_.jpg]

Jeff Healy Band - "see the light"
from Canada, but I wont hold that against them!


RE: What Did You Buy? - Jerome - 02-08-2017

Blow by Blow is considered a masterclass in guitar playing. The album has influenced many musicians over the years.


RE: What Did You Buy? - CRAZY-HORSE - 02-08-2017

[Image: 51P+5zOWVgL._AC_US218_.jpg]

Rage Against The Machine - "evil empire"
am  partial to these guys, but didn't own anything

[Image: 61xkmdVDj-L._AC_US218_.jpg]

Kendrick Lamar - "to pimp a butterfly"
been going back to this one every once in a while since its release trying to figure
what all the fuss was...I finally 'get it', so I got it

[Image: 51oV2FTQUNL._AC_US218_.jpg]

Elvis Presley with the RPO - "the wonder of you"
the second such album...
enjoyed the first one...
respectful of his legacy in every way IMO

[Image: 618VhVswn+L._AC_US218_.jpg]

Santana - "supernatural"
about time I picked up Santana, thought i'd go with something commercially friendly
before I branch out further....

[Image: 617ynIe5OkL._AC_US218_.jpg]

Joe Satriani - "surfing with the alien"
this one jumped out at me from somewhere in the midsts of years gone by,
thought I remembered liking what I heard on the radio at the time but never got
round to purchasing it...so here goes....!

[Image: 51e4rynXJ3L._AC_US218_.jpg]

Suzanne Vega - "retrospective"
a twenty something track compilation...
own several of her singles from back in the day, but not a single album...
her albums are so hard to find here without purchasing via import so I thought
a nice compilation would do the trick...

[Image: 51BVYc28g4L._AC_US218_.jpg]

Stevie Ray Vaughan - "the sky is crying"
his fifth and final studio set, released after his death...
so I have his debut "texas flood" which is a rock classic and this one
