Penguin Cafe Orchestra When in Rome

Subtle stuff, but a lovely live recording at the Royal Festival Hall 20 years ago.

The better your system, the more you will hear of the live event. There is a lot of detail hidden on this CD.

+ I love the music. =)

Hi DT

It's a 2 CD, EMI 7243 4 99390 2 8 which is a UK version I bought on US eBay.

There are 4 versions that I'm aware of.... EMI & Chrysalis.

Absolutely! I have the standard CD as well as the japanese Gold CD.

I saw the trio when they toured back in 1981 at the Beverly Theater in Los Angeles. Excellent concert.

PM, are you sure this is a live album? 🙂 Maybe you meant Delicate Sound Of Thunder or Pulse.

I always look for the DVD video of live performances fist. Most DVDs less than ten years old will have 24 bit / 48K audio tracks = usually better than any of the studio work on CD (16 bit) and always superior to the live CDs because of that 16 bit compression.

Speakin' of Pink: Roger Water's "The Wall / Live in Berlin" is quite good. ( http://www.amazon.com/Roger-Waters-Wall-Live-Berlin/dp/B00009VTYE/ ) with huge array of guest players inc. The Band (sans Robbie) and Van Morrison (!) ... and you won't really appreciate Cindi Lauper until you see her in this performance = a real spark plug. 😎

(Us old timers appreciate that this performance was done about 9 months after the Berlin Wall came down, right in no man's land! = >> 500,000 attended)

Loreena McKennitt: Live in Paris & Toronto

Loreena McKennitt: Nights from the Alhambra (although it's only on sale from her tour-stall at present -the rest of you will have to wait until the autumn) DVD + 2 CDs in one box

Peter Gabriel: Secret World (available as a DVD or double CD)

Rick Wakeman: Out of the Blue (the recording isn't the best, but the performances more than make up for that)

Rick Wakeman: Live in Concert 2000

King Crimson: Thrakattak

The wifey and I spent last night listening to / watching the "Concert for George" ... third time in two months. Eric Clapton's rendition of "While My Guitar Gently ..." is definative = just about the best of the best IMOP. The DVD Video has about 30 minutes of so-so stuff, unless you like Monty Python & Ravi Shankar ... the last 2/3's are fantastic ( http://www.amazon.com/Concert-George-Jeff-Lynne/dp/B0000CEB4V/ ... this DVD is vastly superior to the CD version = too much compression).
