Almost Straits / Re: DS Sydney 1986 covers

« Last post by Matchstickman on Today at 03:52:46 PM »

I love the Sydney show.

Interesting that there is an added chord progression at the beginning of the final section of RATR, as compared to the studio version. I think it goes A5, E5 - G5 - A5, B5, Em. It's included in the version above.

Yes, tremendous work, very impressive! 

Keyboard work sensational, and great to see and hear Jack's rhythm work. It really adds flavour to the end of RATR.

How about some singing?

New Album 2024 / Re: New for 2024

With all the hullabaloo that is to take place with the auction of the guitars, I can not imagine news of new material not appearing at the same time. It's too good an opportunity to miss surely . . ..!!!

Difficult task, usually this:

GH: Nobody's Got The Gun
STP: Wanderlust
RPD: A Place Where We Used to Live
SL: Boom Like That
KTGC: Scaffolder's wife
GL: So Far from the Clyde
P: Yon Two Crows
T: Basil
DTRW: When You Leave


When I finished I noticed that in my choices, only 3 were played live, I made the choice thinking about them in their studio versions.

New Album 2024 / Re: New for 2024

The last month of this year begins. I don't think there will be an important announcement before Christmas.

Why? What makes you think that?
Not even a little optimism?

It's all taking too long.

The Ragpickers Dream (2002) / Eliott Erwitt 1928-2023

« Last post by Love Expresso on December 02, 2023, 08:40:29 AM »

Eliott Erwitt died at the age of 95. He was the photographer of " “Spain, Valencia, 1952, Robert and Mary Frank,” the picture that was chosen for the cover of "The Ragpicker's Dream". Very long and interesting life, and I always found the photo was a very good choice and fitted perfectly well with the album theme and content.
