That Heavy Horses remix is - as usual with Steven Wilson - ear-opening. And the bonus 1978 concert in Berne, Switzerland, which (after heavy doctoring) provided some tracks for the Bursting Out Live album, shows Tull in all their (now undoctored) live glory and especially Glascock's excellent bass playing.

I never knew that something as banal as a tooth abscess triggered his deteriorating health and that heart valve (he had an innate defect there) operation which in the aftermath did him in (aided by his irresponsible life style for a man with a heart valve problem).

Listening to the new Michael Schenker - with four different singers (Doogie White, Robin McAuley, Graham Bonnet, Gary Barden), of course the Bonnet tracks kill'em all.

If it's anything like this tune, I bet it's pretty good. Really nice ripping guitar solo too.

BTW, any idea what this explorer bass is here?

Shencker, with Doogie, played up my part of the world about a year back, with a certain renowned German rhythm section... the drummer was kind enough to sign his book for me and was honoured as he asked my opinion of Mr Shencker as he was so pleased with how on form he was, and I could only agree... an evening of MSG, UFO, Scorpions and original material... stunning...

That Explorer bass is an Ibanez, Chris Glen has been playing it for several decades now. It's his gigging bass.

Interesting. Seems like a nice enough bass, even though it's another pj.

A buddy and I went to see The Dixie Dregs last night (technically, The Dregs now).
I quickly realized that when I went to see them open for Santana around 1990, I didn't go to see Santana.

I saw the original line up in 77 or 78 in a triple bill with Grinderswitch and (the amazing) Sea Level... stunning gig, simply stunning...
Is Steve Morse playing with them (the Dregs) again...?

This is the full, original lineup of the Dixie Dregs from their first album Free Fall. I'm tempted to grab some last minute tix for the Chicago show.

I've seen the Steve Morse Band, but never the Dregs. Not even sure whether they ever toured Germany.

Still no vocals?  :mrgreen:

Never a fashionable band, it's great they still have a(n all male?) following. People say that Steve's arm condition is serious and worsening and that he only has a few more years to play. For someone like him who hardly puts the guitar out of hand that must be devastating. There is a question mark whether he will even be able to record another album with Purple and the Dregs stuff is of course technically a lot more demanding.

I think starting with "Free Fall" they started incorporating vocals in some songs in an effort to broaden their fan base. There were plenty of women at that show though! When I was in college we had to do some sort of project/presentation. Mine was on ELP but a biker chick in the glass chose the Dregs and did her presentation on them. It was great.

Yesterday I drove three hours to see Nightwish in Charlotte. The line to get in was around the block and the place was packed. After our tickets had been scanned, every person coming into the venue were given a new double CD of remastered works from '96-'15.
They played for two hours, smiled and joked with each other a lot and frequently waved to fans.

It was great!
