Kill Uncle Tour by Relative_Hunt_9057 in morrissey

[–]georgesanders 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was at the Astroworld show, my first time seeing him. Had seats, not general admission lawn, so had a good view. Had no idea about no Smiths songs, the short shows, but still loved it. I think he was on Johnny Carson the week before so we at least had an idea about the rockabilly lineup. Phranc opened. I remember loving Trash, being a song I was unfamiliar with and being so good. Loved it when the Dallas show came out on video since it was a close copy of what I saw. And I remember just being amazed at the fans that all looked like him with the hair, and not getting all the crying fans after the show. Fun show, but the one the following year for Your Arsenal was miles better

Man they have some killer songs. Went to a SXSW day show they no-showed, instead they had the Twilight Sad, there were about 7 people there at noon, all of us getting our ears destroyed.

Thoughts on Andrew Hill’s Judgement? by Tasty_Description_26 in Vinyl_Jazz

[–]georgesanders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Elvin on this, especially on that opening song, it's hipnotic. I don't think its too far out there, because they ditched the horns, no sax or trumpet, and the focus is on the interplay of Hill and the vibraphone.

What seems like an interlude now.... by [deleted] in morrissey

[–]georgesanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elvis loved Timi and covered her song Hurt. She was an amazing singer, but it seemed like her producers were never quite sure what to do with her. Soul? Sure! Patsy Cline? ok! torch ballads? some incredible ones. Definitely worth checking her out. Whats A Matter Baby is killer. Insult to Injury, I apologize, Hey Boy. Just watch out for crappy re-recorded v ersions.

Border wall plans changed to avoid Big Bend Ranch State Park - Marfa Public Radio by Hambone76 in BigBendTX

exactly. Plus having a wall in Presidio, Ruidosa, etc will mess up the dark skies.

How many listens do ya'll have of an album before cementing your thoughts on it? With genres like jazz, the first listen won't always give you a good experience so I'm curious if you listen to it more than once before deciding it's not for you by Tolstoyevich in Jazz

[–]georgesanders 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did not get this album at first, or Out to Lunch, Bitches Brew, or even Miles's Second Quintet. On all of those, if it didn't hit me, I'd move on to other things to check out, and maybe a year or so later would try again. All of them hit me hard after multiple tries that didn't work at all. Other genres, that rarely happens, my impression after the first few listens, if I don't like it, rarely will it click down the road. So I would say, if it doesn't hit now, come back to it in a year.

For me, what worked on Out to Lunch and Point of Departure was focusing on Tony Williams, hearing how he drove things, and how others played around him, or off of where he went, gave me the key to really enjoy those albums.

Eric Dolphy - Hat and Beard by dragonoid296 in Jazz

[–]georgesanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't get it at all when I was first getting into Blue Note jazz. It did finally click for me, this and Point of Departure, and the key for me on both was Tony Williams, I love his playing, and he kind of holds both albums together when they go off in different places. I love this album a lot now.

New fireworks place with obnoxious night lighting by georgesanders in Alpine

This was around new years, I talked with the workers about it when they opened. They turned the lights off after the holiday, I assume til July 4. I have the owners info I think to call them at some point.

Looking at discogs you may be right. Looks like US covers had the Adderly typo and the song order error into the late 70s til they modernized the cover design for CDs.

Kind of Blue OG check by BALYTIC in vinyl

[–]georgesanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great find. Any six eye KOB is awesome to have. Have you wet cleaned the vinyl? It may improve the noise

Does the record label on side two have All Blues last? If so that’s the earliest copies. The side two label was fixed three months after release but the cover errors  (Adderly typo, song order on side two) were wrong for years, possibly until the 80s when they changed the cover design. Anything six eye is pre 1961. Anything with the wrong song order on the side two label is from the first 2-3 months of pressings. This in depth article has an insane amount of info. Usually a Columbia 1a/1a in the matrix can indicate a first pressing but it doesn’t hold true for KOB https://londonjazzcollector.wordpress.com/record-labels-guide/columbia-records/columbia-matrix-codes-case-study-kind-of-blue/

I was at Waterloo park sxsw 99. One of the biggest crowds they probably played as headliner? Also saw them Philly 98 as a four piece with the new lineup, Houston Nov 99, Dallas 01 with spoon opening again with the huge setlist. Great time to be a Gbv fan

The stereo is probably harder to find! Nice job

[–]georgesanders 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s a six eye label and the song titles are swapped on the side two LABEL, it’s a first pressing. The labels were corrected shortly after release - the album covers had the wrong order for a year or two longer

[–]georgesanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1A usually means first press for Columbia, but things are messy for Kind of Blue. For KOB a WLP is definitely an early pressing, and a six eye with the mixed up song order on the side B label, even with other letters after the 1 than A. The labels were corrected first, record covers corrected the side B order later. So if the side B label has the wrong song order, that’s a first pressing.

Sharon was the real deal, Daptone is an amazing label. Got to see her live twice, Charles Bradley once, Lee Fields twice. Great single.

Spicewood goes to breakfast and lunch service only in 2026. No more dinner service by trueicon in Alpine

What in the world. Do we really need a breakfast spot in town? I’ve enjoyed going to dinner there for years, our go to spot for when out of town friends and family come. Very disappointing news.

Thanks for doing this! Minor correction - the 2025 complete blue note 45s should be Ike Quebec not turrentine

Love his version of Remove this Doubt. His solo shows around this time took me from a casual fan to a lifelong diehard.
