Peter,

Being in Toronto, you are in prime hunting grounds for this rocker by Mainline, Live at the Victory Theatre. In no way politically correct it is a favorite of mine (if you find a 2nd good copy i'd love to scoop it offen you)

Opens with a unique rendition of O Canada.

Another Toronto band to keep an eye out for is Rough Trade (with Carol Pope). A favorite of my brother when he lived there (and frequented the bars often)

I never saw them live, but a fellow i worked with at the HiFi store had the opportunity to spend an afternoon with them, and go see them in Vancouver, after his best friends dad met them on the airplane and invited them out for an afternoon of fishing on his yacht.

I love Queen, sometimes particularly Love of My Life.
Missing my old ex-girl...

I do not know your cases...
My wife never gives up checking me how I am thinking about her.
No reply. Instead, I just play on Queen, Love of My Life.
Mmm... She gives me a happy smile, and I answer her a good smile.

Last night I was listening to my two favorite songs loudly.
Wishbone Ash, Everyone Needs a Friend, studio record.
Bob Marley, No Woman No Cry, live record.

Rock? No studio record. I need live record, Yeah… specially 70s…
I listed up into the shopping basket including The Who of Paulb
and Mainline of Planet10. I have real pleasure in talking the same
words requiring no argument. Thanks again, guys.

PS. Now it seems Frank went to bed...

My first rock album was X's Los Angeles. The Misfits, the Clash, the Sex Pistols (although they sucked when I saw them last month), the Ramones, the Buzzcocks, the Damned.. I enjoy them all. My 3 most hated are Air Supply, Supertramp and the Bee Gees. Peter..... Supertramp Paris??? I'll forget you mentioned it.

I guess I'm trying too much to please everybody. There was one other live event in Paris worth mentioning: "Paris Au Printemps" by Public Image Limited. You said you saw the Pistols last month. I didn't know, last time I saw them it was 1996 and I quite liked it. I also saw PIL 3 times live, good show ea. time.

If you like Clash, the recent live album is good, especially last track. I think, if I would have to say what I hate, it might be Boston probably.

Dave,
you shouldn't have posted your Queen surplus. I am short of Queen, somehow nothing made its way into my collection.
We should dicker about that. Yanno, the Blaupunkt/Fostex parcel

Dave and Peter,
Another matter, i have observed "A is better than B" statements without the obligatory IMO tag on it here, more than once. I am feeling tense about that.

When i opened this music board, this was one of the things robbing my sleep: will members start comparative ranking and scratch opponent's eyes out on next strike? Because i have observed such on other forum boards.

Now i find i myself feel offended by

For my taste, nothing i know from Uriah Heep is coming near to the Deep Purple "Made in Japan" stuff. But that's only my taste, i never would dare to make such a general statement and i am quite pissed, reading it.



All,
Hmmmm, my 1st rock album was probably something from StatusQuo, i do not even remember the name. My whole school class listened to it, it was required to be into Status Quo to be socially acceptable.
They wore off fast for me. I listened to Rock when being together with people listneing Rock but when i left those groups, the music left me.

Later, i began to selectively look for Rock albums suiting my taste; did not find many. I would name two albums being my 1st Rock albums as a conscious Rock listener:

one from Jimi Hendrix, with "Little Wing" and "Red House" on it and also "The Queen", a fancy version ..of the British National Anthem ...
the other one is "Live Cream Vol.2" with Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker.

Both albums do not wear off for me up to today. I regularly listen to them. And since then, i buy anything from The Cream and from Jimi Hendrix i can lay my hands on.

I'd be very surprised if you find this... it was certainly never issued on CD.
