Happy Fourth folks...even you Syd, my UK friend...hehe.  I see you have the MFSL reissue of Bill Evans' "Undercurrent".  So what's the verdict.  All those reports of distortion on the Tape...are they noticeable.  I haven't found my CD of this album yet.

Listening to CD #7 of the Keystone Box...

PS Audio Yale (cont)...Track 1 for soundstage (depth), bass (timpani) and musical engagement.  Results are excellent so far!

Still sounding really nice...I like to use Track 4 for micro detail (subtle rustling left of center during the piano intro).

Bob Weir, Ace. This one got lost in my collection the last two years, found it while packing. An old friend, one of my favorite Dead-related releases.

Whatever they had going on to get tickets for the Dead show in Chicago was a debacle, but all that aside, you both have gotten me inspired to listen to some Dead...

Dave,  I'm not a huge fan of the Dead, enjoying them only occasionally.  They have offered many ways to view the concerts...the only free is via XM-Sirius.  But there are audio only and video of the CA concert in June on you tube...find one below. My guess is the audio and video of these concerts will quickly make it to you tube and Vinyl and CD version will follow.Mark.

re the "Undercurrent" album Mark. I think theres a track where the treble on Bills joanna sounds rounded off...or I suppose distorted. No warping, a few quiet tics that MFSL say will disappear in time.
I`ll play it again tonight and listen for tape wear. Bill is sparkly most time and his piano sometimes reaches across the speakers.  
Heading up for a session right.......now.
Happy 4th!

re "Undercurrent"
The piano is miked differently. Bill effectvely plays bass with light touches and the rest of the piano has a lot bigger presence than usual, the notes are fuller but he cant play as such or he`ll drown the guitar out so he plays with less force. So you get this sound of much presence but played more quiet. He ocasionaly plays harder and there is no distortion.
There is a 3 sec patch where the guitar distorts.
Sometimes it sounds like the piano might be going through a compressor...more of the resulting note and less of the reverb. Again I think they`re trying to stop too much piano swamping the sound.
Great album which I`ll be happy to revisit.

Listening to track 6 especially, Long Distance Runaround, in memory of bassist Chris Squire who passed last week.
YES is my all time favorite band since I "discovered" them on a ATL radio station back in 1970. Had to adjust that FM antenna just right to get anything other than C&W in my little hometown and I thought YES had fallen out of a space ship when I first locked that signal in....  :)
RIP Chris Squire.

Ugh, hard to listen to anything tonight - the idiots a few houses back must be blowing off a few grand in (illegal in Illinois) fireworks. My pit bull is glued to my hip, and I have to turn the music up a bit louder than I wanted to in order to listen.

I love Independence Day, but I don't ever remember it being this retarded.

On the positive side - I figured I'd just try and drown out the fireworks with Tori Amos' Under the Pink. This album has some female aggression that I just love, and it always sounds good loud. But...and I'm completely floored by this as I've literally listened to this album over a hundred times; with the new DS OS/Firmware update - I just heard something I've never caught before. At 2:33 on the first track "Pretty Good Year" you can hear the booth bark something over the intercom! It's just a brief snipped - but I can't un-hear it now. This technology, and being able to extract even more information from CD's just blows me away.

Core 32,  I didn't know Chris Squire had died.  I love Yes and Fragile is my favorite.  It was the only one i owned when it originally was issued.

I feel in the mood for some of the the Divine one...

PS...I don't know if there are any fans of old films...or Musicals here but this Holiday TCM has been showing some great ones.  Yesterday I watched "On the Town", " Annie Get Your Gun" and "Seven Brides For Seven Brothers" before I had to leave for the "Dallas Winds'" Fourth of July program which, by the way, was fantastic, even better than their usual high standard.  I caught a little bit of "The Music Man" before bed.

Today I've decided to watch " The Band Wagon" and "West Side Story"

Been in the Cave a while...this first LP was a pure pleasure reissue, the second an original from the 70's.  Mark.

After reading a long thread on Robert Johnson on a jazz board I had to revisit this. I'm a fan. . . there is one poster who is going on and on about how overrated and mediocre Johnson is. I can see that he may get more hype than his meager output allows but he was the real deal in my estimation.

Next two LPs...two Speakers Corner reissues...the Santana sounds so much better than my original...maybe just quieter.

PS...No... the reissue Santana is hands down better than the original...no contest!

Holy cow I had forgotten the diversity of songs on this one...
From Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me to a cover of Pinball Wizard.
Some time just after this 1974 release I stopped caring for much of Elton's music.

This Speakers Corner reissue next.  I saw an original of this at HPB&Rs at a bit higher price than I liked so I went home and listened to it on spotify.  I decided I'd buy it but, as you probably guessed, it was gone the next time I was there.  Lesson learned...now I buy and if I don't like it for what ever reason, I can return it.  Love this album by the way...sounds great.  Mark.

Core32, I agree on Elton.  As a kid I bought "Madman Across the Water" and "Honky Chateau" then lost interest or moved on.  But I heard plenty on the radio.  There's no denying he's talented but much of his stuff ain't my cup o tea.  Mark.

PS...Battery is almost dead...good night all...

It is a very nice session, I'm a big Strayhorn and Hodges fan. I have a very nice sounding CD of it.

Right now, this awesome cd
