They satisfied an early 70s demand for a CSN style of music that the actual CSN were usually unable to fulfill because they were too busy arguing amongst themselves to spend very much time making records. Btw, which one was Seals? The one with the hat, right? Never could tell them apart.

Possibilities for June include Plant & Krauss, Tears for Fears, and Steely Dan. The next event I've actually got a ticket for is a small club VIP meet and greet with Howard Jones and Midge Ure on my birthday in July.

I've always admired his intensity, honesty and enthusiasm, but as Crosby remarked a few years ago when speaking about the members of CSNY, “We're all crazy. All of us.” Here's Graham performing Stephen's "Love the One You're With" at an intimate show I attended last month in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

It's the work of a fully matured artist at the zenith of his creativity, and it's amazing to think that Steve was still only 21 years old when this album was recorded.

I think the ultimate example of this, and again, I'm surprised no one's mentioned it, is Dave Mason's Alone Together. Several years after its release, his record label actually put out a Very Best of Dave Mason album with a track listing that was almost identical to Alone Together. It included nearly every track that from that album, and not a whole helluva lot else; One track from

I'm surprised no one mentioned the first Cars album. It very nearly is their greatest hits. I also remember playing Neil Young's Harvest for a friend of mine who asked me if it was, in fact, a greatest hits album.

I have to admit, the foreign-language vocal (mixed unnecessarily loud, btw) throws me a bit, but it's not the first time a Floyd record has featured unconventional vocals. "Have a Cigar" features a guest lead vocalist (Roy Harper) who was not a member of the band, while the "voice" of Stephen Hawking features prominently on 1994's "Keep Talking." And isn�

QuoteHairball Nice to see all proceeds going to Ukrainian Humanitarian Relief. A bit odd though to label this as Pink Floyd without Rick Wright (RIP)...and without Roger Waters...

I liked it better the second time. As Paul is fond of saying, they really were "just a good little band." Their performance on the Rooftop starts out strong and seems to just get stronger as the show progresses. Paul is on fire here.

Not sure the IMAX experience really bears repeating, but as a lifetime Beatles loyalist, I'll do my due diligence and watch it again this afternoon.
