Done! Thanks. I hope the Alchemy remaster is good. My Alchemy CD's lack the bass that the LP has when I got it back in... 1984?

 

[Bobby Bass]

Cool. I hope so too. Looks like you can’t buy the CD set in the US from their web site. Nothing on Rhino yet either. Leave it to Amazon. They have just about everything. I buy most of my CDs through them now. Something to look forward to in the new year!

I saw Dire Straits Live at the Commodore Ballroom, in Vancouver (it holds 990 people) October 22, 1980.
I saw Mark Knopfler in concert at the Queen Elizabeth Theater in Vancouver September 10, 2015.

Both were fabulous shows. An amazing artist. I hope those CDs are great.

I always wanted seperates for a stereo system only because I think its kinda cool. I scored the following for a $525 Cdn . All it took was a 6 hour round trip and gas to get them. It was demonstrated by the seller and it all works. All Yamaha: power amp is a MX-600U, pre-amp is a CX-600U, and tuner is TX-530

Great seeing a band in a smaller venue . I saw them on their Brothers in Arms tour at the Hartford civic center and they filmed the audience for the Walk of Life video which was cool every time they ran it on MTV. Saw Knopfler a few years ago and his guitar still sounded amazing. Looking forward to listening to more live music.

A live concert of The Days of Future Passed by the Moody Blues. Performed in 2017 or 2018.

It's done with a live symphony orchestra and is really good.

Nice. I always liked the Moody Blues and have a few of their cds and lps. My favorite song is The Story in Your Eyes.

To me their early era albums have so many great songs it would be hard for me to choose. I pretty much love them all. The albums Days of Future Passed, Question of Balance, Lost Chord, Threshold of a Dream, Seventh Sojourn, To Our Children's Children's Children. There are no mediocre songs. Every Good Boy Deserves a Favor is a bit weak though. Story in your Eyes is really the only strong song on that album.

There are far fewer excellent songs on their late era albums. Only The Voice (Long Distance Voyager) Your Wildest Dreams (the Other Side of Life) and I know you're Out there Somewhere (Sur La Mer) come to mind.

In order my favorite Moody songs are the story in your eyes, then nights in white satin, and ride my seesaw. JMHO anyway.

Moody Blues are a great band. Unfortunately I never saw them live. Love their albums. An excellent blend of music and poetry. I Have a box set that has many of their best songs. Isn’t life strange. Have you heard-the voyage-and have you heard redux sounds awesome. Question is probably my favorite.

Bursting Out by Jethro Tull 2004 remaster arrived today. Bought the A box set used today. Have 2 more box sets on order. Can’t afford the Stand Up box set because it’s out of print. same issue with A Passion Play and Too old to Rock and Roll. Have the others. That should do it for now. The Tull box sets are the best. They Look like books so look great on the wall like a library. Most have 80+ pages of info and pictures and CDs and DVDs loaded with extras and they are reasonably priced when they Are first released. Other classic bands should follow their lead for reissues.

I have this Blu-ray as well. When I bought it, it was just on a spur of the moment, and it was a great buy. I was worried a bit that it would be substandard but for the most part it exceeded my expectations.

Well got myself a New Years gift, since I got nothing for myself for Xmas. As most you know I love photography.
Got it last night, but was tired, so here she is...The Canon R10 Kit(Refurbished SALE from Canon)is a bit biggerthan I thought it would be, so it's a big plus with my semi large hands. I've got about nine Canon lens, so hopefully I'll be able to use them with the lens adapter when it arrives in 2-3 weeks. Battery charging...

Very nice Jose, is that a mirrorless camera ? Keep us posted as to how you like it and how the lens adapter system works out.

I've been contemplating a purchase as well but only if I don't have to abandon my current Canon lenses

Yes thanks it's a mirrorless camera! I did a lot of research on YouTube. It was half price on Canon website, so I got it. It's back to the normal price now. The lens adapter ($30) from China will be here at the end of the month or sooner I hope.

Paul Gilbert tribute to Hendrix CD I found while late night shopping. Good reviews. Good price. The only one available.

Japanese import. Coming today. Will check it out tonight.

A few things came in...
This album came in a couple of days ago. I forgot the show I was watching but really dug a tune. Looked it up and found out it was these guys.

This switch came in which will allow me to use my main speakers for my Yamaha separates stack and AVR setup.

I picked up my 2nd kayak today. I bet I was the only one in Ottawa to have this strapped to the roof of their car today.

 

[3db]

Oops forgot to tell you that I ordered this rack for my separates..

This will be a close match to what I have now for my AVR stack...
