Same here!  Thanks for the link.  Gonna need a bigger hard drive.

You're welcome. Links to Talking Heads, Leonard Cohen, Yo La Tengo, Zep, Ween, Bonnie Rait...and that's just the first page! And sugarmegs is an AMAZING resource.

Pace yourself!  ;D That thread will be archived soon, but the link from here should still be good. I can't take credit for any of the music that was posted, but I'm glad you're enjoying it. I am too!

I might get beat up for this, but I've always had a place for Frampton Comes Alive!.  He's touring on its 35th anniversary but I can't make any of the local dates.  Its pop, light, but solid and evocative of my childhood in the 70's.

I'm going to see the Frampton tour in March.  I know what you mean, johnny.  Reminds me of when I was first starting to frequent record stores in 1976 at age 9.  It saddens me that record stores will soon, if they aren't already, be an extinct species.  They seemed like magical places to me back then, when the rock charts were filled with great albums.  Most of 'em were record stores/smoke shops with incense, adult comics (remember The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers http://www.freaknet.org.uk/pages01/p01/wm01.html?  great stuff!), and smoking paraphernalia in addition to the vinyl and posters and stickers.

So, I wasn't the only one 9 years old in '76?  I think bluesky is another one. 

I know exactly what you mean.  Today, I have a place nearby that's more about the head-shop and less about the music (I love running into students and their parents when I'm in there, being a teacher).  My most recent discovery, a used record shop in Fitchburg, MA, is gone (just last week :'(). 

A good forum friend had a spare copy of Frampton Comes Alive! for me, which was so sweet after having put my vinyl aside for 25 years and my original copy didn't survive the quarter century.

Y'know, I hadn't checked thoroughly and can't make his stop in Portland, ME... but he has a Friday night show in Lynn, MA and Saturday night in Worcester, MA, so I may check this out, after all.

It can be MMJ too, but what's the one show recording that you turn to most, your favorite? It can be an official release or a bootleg.

For me, without a doubt, it's the Rolling Stones 10/17/73 show in Brussels. It's pretty widely circulated and easy to find on the internet for download. You can also stream it here:

Thanks so much for this bbill - this is a killer! Downloading from here (with a bonus disc) http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2010/11/29/the-rolling-stones-brussels-affair-1973/

Live & Dangerous anyone? It's one of Jim's favs.

Hey, you're welcome! That bonus disc stuff looks pretty good, I'm grabbing it right now. That Brussels show is just ROCK AND ROLL at it's finest, imo.

I've never heard Live & Dangerous, though you aren't the first person to recommend it to me.

I'm not too into reggae, but for years I had an awesome bootleg soundboard tape of Bob Marley at the Roxy in LA in 1976 that is a super clean and super bass-rich recording of what sounds like a pretty good show with everyone feelin' it.  It has now been officially released.  http://www.amazon.com/Live-Roxy-Hollywood-California-1976/dp/B00009V7T0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327599314&sr=8-1

If you only get one reggae show in your collection, this is probably the one to get.
