Miles Davis - ‘Live at Fillmore East, March 7th. 1970, It’s About That Time’ (2001). These live concert recordings from the ‘Silent Way’ and ‘Brew’ era are great jazz fusion performed by a who’s who of Davis with Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette and Airto Moreira. As was often the case in this period the tracks were presented as a sort of continuous ‘set’ with transitions led by Davis. New ‘rock’ tracks like ‘Directions’ and ‘Spanish Key’ and mixed with older works such as ‘Masquelero’ but presented in a completely different way with a rock ‘vibe’ and ‘attack’. In recent years many more concert recordings from this period have become available and they are great fun!

Gary Moore - Still Got the Blues 1990
Absolute genius on the Les Paul.
Much like Roy Buchanan on the Telecaster forgotten/overlooked?

[Bevo]

Playing this one on vinyl the other day

Still excellent

[PaulDavies]

Fripp prescient as usual.

A bit of the Heavy stuff before bed.
Gojira Magma

Not sure about some of the clean vocals, and think Mars To Sirius is a better album…

But this’ll do!

Sierra Ferrell ‎– Long Time Coming
CD|2021

Play this one a lot. Very enjoyable album. Mix of folk and country.

[Anonymoot]

Last one of the day … Dance by Gary Numan 1981.
This is one I would love to hear on top-end gear, it has a lovely sound with Mick Karn on fretlass bass and superb production. Tubeway Army it certainly ain’t.

Commences with The Classical. Says it all.

If you’ve not heard them already, I recommend the Remember Shakti albums too, especially Saturday Night in Bombay, on which John features more prominently on electric guitar.
