Re: Rock - what are you listening to?
Thanks to Dave and the gorgeous Rhino Electra vinyl reissue series I'm now having a ball refamiliarising myself with the Doors and not spoiling the experience by comparing them to the original releases I have.The Oliver Stone travesty is now thankfully fading into oblivion. BTW the new one is not too hot either, though I do love the opening scenes....

Getting ready for the forthcoming box set I decided to dig out the last one they brought out in all its velvet covered glory :)
The most consistent box set I have with absolutely stunning sound and miraculous music including live stuff too...

Just found out that this, in fact, is mostly live - with the audience noise mixed out?!?
Jap vinyl pressing that I picked up at a Record Fair in Dublin. Julie and Dave (Road) were
manning the Borderline stall at the time!

Re: Rock - what are you listening to?
That, Dermot, is a classic. Part of the great Crimson trio of albums from the early Seventies which also includes Larks' Tongues in Aspic and Red. From the heart-rending melodicism of jewels like Lament and The Night Watch to more extended workouts like the title track and Fracture, which contains some of Fripp's greatest guitar playing and which is monstrous in its intensity. Like all the great music, so many of my yesterdays are quite literally lost in the endless spinning of this immortal record. Most of the album was recorded live with some overdubs done later in the studio. One of my most treasured possessions is The Great Deceiver 4-CD box set, released in the early Nineties and sadly deleted now, which is taken from live recordings of the group in 1973 and 1974. The best incarnation of this great group at its most experimental. And the music hasn't dated a jot.cybot wrote:Just found out that this, in fact, is mostly live - with the audience noise mixed out?!?

Re: Rock - what are you listening to?
Thanks for that Paul and welcome back to left field Rock section :-) The trio of albums you mentioned above had me frantically checking to see if I had all of them. Sadly I don't but two out of three ain't bad... the missing one is Larks Tongues in Aspic- surely contender for coolest LP title ever! - but.....I do have a live version of LTIA 2 from the USA live (plus Exiles and Easy Money) album,which incidentally is a terrific live album with superb sound, and it has always been my intention to get the LTIA studio album just to hear the fabled Jamie Muir on percussion...mcq wrote:That, Dermot, is a classic.
