Something about music, everyday.
Everyone and their mother will tell you to listen to a Dead live record rather than a studio album. There is good reasoning behind the old addage; magic happened when the dead played. More often than not, the studio seemed to be a restrictive. Rather, at every opportunity, the band tried to replicate the live … Continue reading Grateful Dead- Aoxomoxoa

1969 is very much a transitional year. Between their first line-up change and the gravity of Dark Side to come, Floyd was in something of an existential crisis. There was no defining voice or path to follow, and the results both on record and boot show a multitude of experiments. Some of them turn out … Continue reading Pink Floyd- More
Jefferson Airplane 1969/09/06- San Francisco, CA (INC) 1. Jam Unfortunately, this is all I have of Airplane from this date.

Great combo, and definately worth a listen. https://mega.nz/#F!wS5UAIIY!N1h1F_1FJ5At747mRq5K3w

Certainly a fine album, but an odd duck to be sure. As far as debut records go, it's hard to argue that this isn't a strong entry. Compared to what is to come, however, everything seems too quaint. That isn't Empty Sky's fault, but is suffers none the less. A lot of people point to … Continue reading Elton John- Empty Sky
