Today, I have mostly been listening to ...

Nunogilberto

Queen - Live at the Rainbow '74. They sound brilliant on this in fairness. As it's an early one, much of their well known stuff won't be on it, but they're still on fire and sound very youthful.

Only listened to (some of) the second disc (the November show)  so far, but I'd agree with this, really enjoying it.
Loving stuff like Liar, Flick of the Wrist and Stone Cold Crazy.
I read a review somewhere where the writer said that Queen were a great live band who up to now had been without a great live album...not sure I agree with that, but certainly this is a document of a band at one of their many peaks.

I'm reliving the Kate Bush "Before the Dawn" show. 

Can't wait for the official DVD release.

JET's 3rd and (sadly) last album Shaka Rock, it's in the car.

I thought it was definitely their best. A good high to end on but a shame they couldn't continue. Runs up at 12 songs, but they had a good way of showing off their influences without sounding like other bands out there and let's face it they had some good rock songs (Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Cold Hard Bitch, She's a Genius, to name but 3...) Their songs were always just the right length. They did the right thing, hit hard, and walked away - in true Aussie style

The Doors live at the Bowl - it's been ages since I last listened to them - in cassette!!

Bought the CD today and enjoying it in the car.

Genesis - enjoyed Duke a fair bit today.. not heard it for 20 years.

Slightly randomly Eric Clapton's first album. Some waspish guitar sounds going on there - I think that's Brownie on the cover, possibly played through a pig nose with a flat battery. Couple of obvious fillers and its a bit hippy drippy but the good songs are very good indeed.

I've been playing this quite a bit lately too. As you say the good songs are very good indeed. I hadn't really thought too much about the guitar tone before but now that you mention it, it it can be a bit 'waspish' in places. Still a pretty good album though, and one I'd definitely replace if anything happened to it.

when I was about 16 my brother gave me a compilation album and Let It Rain was on that. The album got lost somewhere over the years so it was a joy to hear that again. It's all very much of its era, if anyone wants to know what the early 70's sounded like they could do worse than start with this album.

Some tunes off Marillion's 82-92 singles album - decent material with both Fish and H to be honest, and Rothery is a tasteful player. The solo in Kayleigh has always been one of my faves.

Oddly enough, even though I'm a massive EC fan, I've never heard this album. 461 Ocean Boulevard was the first album I bought with my own money - I bought a CD copy two or three years ago and was pleasantly surprised how it had stood the test of time.

I must get the first one.

Coldplay's 'Magic' - Cracking song. I know it's fashionable to knock them, but they do some epic tunes...

Flying Colors- Second Nature, Steve Morse still has it, good sound.  Out to see them live on Monday.

Dunno if these fellas are still about. I liked them at first but sadly they went off the boil with their last album:

Bob Mould Band - Live at ATP 2008

Going Back Home by Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey in which a cancer patient and a pensioner show the new boys how to rock! Excellent stuff.
