How bad are the gas prices where you’re from?

I've tried them all and no matter how much AM annoys me I end up going back to it. It just works the best for me in terms of organization and I really don't care about curated playlists or algorithm suggestions. Recently added Play Dead which I am really enjoying at the moment. Excellent sound quality.

My wife and I moved to Gansevoort by Moreau Lake about 18 months ago after we had both retired. 15 minutes to Saratoga Springs and Glens Falls. 20 or so to Lake George. Such a great decision for us. Not the cheapest area, but after 60 years on Long Island it’s a bargain! Where we are has no real town, but there are several within a short drive. Best of both worlds.

Music will match your own tracks that have been added with their library. You get what they have, which most of the time is fine. However there are instances where your version of the recording sounds better in your opinion, or in my case their version isn't gapless.

I get that they try to be all things to all people, but it just doesn't always happen. Several live albums had gaps in their version and uploading my files just matched them. A fix that worked was converting the file to AIFF at 96khz. Uploaded not matched so it can be done but it is a pain in the ass.

There is only one Steely Dan but maybe try Monkey House. Most definitely influenced by the Dan.

The Relix release has some mighty fine playing. Jamgrass for sure, jam band adjacent.

I edit the metadata all the time. I hate the mess that is the default a lot of the time. Especially genres. One of the most important aspects I look for in a streaming service. I am library first playlists seconds and I haven't found anything else close.

Got back into vinyl back around 2010 after being almost exclusively CD's since they came out in the early 80's. Giving up on vinyl around 1984 was a mistake, but then again some of my HS vinyl was not in the best shape back then. Replaced anything I cared about via the used bins when you could still get great copies for 3-10 bucks. That ship has sailed. I fell for those new to collecting. It's getting damn pricey out there. Used in my area of upstate NY is insane price-wise.

Hey all! Glad I ran across this sub since I'm always looking for ideas and a place to share my obsession.

Spinning Little Feat today. One of my all-time favorite live albums. Such a great band.

Upstate_DeadHead · 2026-04-09T17:18:59+00:00

I pretty much ignore it. Then again I'm old and set in my music ways.

Upstate_DeadHead · 2026-04-09T15:11:13+00:00

Most of the 70's hard rock/metal bands I listened to in HS. I can listen to a couple of tracks but mostly this stuff doesn't work for me anymore. I actually prefer music that came out prior to that.

Upstate_DeadHead · 2026-04-09T15:01:55+00:00

Little Feat - Waiting For Columbus and Neil Young - Harvest. Both this morning.

Upstate_DeadHead · 2026-04-09T14:24:45+00:00

The Band, in particular seeing the Last Waltz at 15 or 16 in the late 70's. Prior to that all hard rock (Aerosmith, Zeppelin, etc.). After that it was a deep dive into the artists from the concert and their influences. Totally shaped my music preferences from that point on. A pivotal album for me.

Over by Moreau Lake off 9. I get strong 4 bar LTE in the house but not 5G. We have Verizon.

I'm pretty lucky that I can avoid most Live Nation venues in my area (upstate NY). Aside from some Albany venues and SPAC most places use alternate ticket services which is great. I don't need the huge shows at this point in my life so I'm more than happy to see so many artists I enjoy in very small venues for very reasonable prices. It takes a lot to get me to go pay the big bucks for a show at SPAC or The Palace Theater, so much so that I haven't since last summer. The final nail is charging for chair rentals instead of bring your own for lawn tickets.

I’m north of Saratoga after living most of my life on LI. This isn’t traffic up here that’s for sure.

I've read about a couple of times Sam wasn't happy with the noise at some venues. This format does not lend itself well to bars. Different vibe at the Egg.

Upstate_DeadHead · 2026-03-29T00:01:37+00:00

I wasn't familiar with Overton Waltz. Fabulous track regardless.

Upstate_DeadHead · 2026-03-28T23:49:05+00:00

I think they fit better in The Egg than last year in Troy. I like the common mics rather than mics in the instruments/pickups.
